Missoula County approves CSKT nominee to consolidated land use board

Missoula County officials approved a nomination from CSKT to fill a representative seat on the county’s consolidated land use board.

An unidentified meeting participant introduced the item, saying the action was to “finish out appointments on the Missoula County consolidated land use board” and that CSKT had nominated “James Bing Matt,” who “goes by Bing.” Speaker 1 moved to approve the nomination and asked for an all‑in‑favor voice vote; the group responded “Aye,” and Speaker 1 said, “Welcome to the board.”

The nomination completes outstanding seats on the reconstituted board. Speakers said they had been waiting for CSKT to confirm whether it wanted a representative seat and that once the nomination was accepted the new board would be ready for its first meeting on Feb. 4.

The motion was presented as a standard appointment vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript and no objections were recorded at the meeting. The meeting record shows staff will send letters to newly appointed members and follow up with contacts to notify property owners and other stakeholders about the board's formation.

Action taken: the body approved the CSKT nomination by voice vote and welcomed the new member. The meeting then moved on to correspondence and public comments regarding floodplain concerns in the South Hills.
