Motion made and seconded to approve consent agenda at Missoula County meeting; no public comments recorded

Missoula County officials opened their meeting for Tuesday, April 14, and a committee member moved to approve the consent agenda during the session. The chair asked for roll call and for public comment on items not on the agenda before the motion was made.

The chair asked, "Do we have any public comment on items not on the agenda?" No members of the public were recorded making a substantive comment. "I move to approve the consent agenda," one committee member said; another participant replied, "Okay, I'll second that." The chair then asked once more for public comment on the consent agenda and, after a short exchange, called for those in favor. The transcript does not record a roll-call or tally of votes, nor does it name who moved or seconded the motion.

Consent agendas typically bundle routine business — such as minutes, standard contracts or noncontroversial appointments — into a single vote to expedite meetings. In this session, however, the record available in the transcript stops short of providing details about which items were included on the consent agenda or the final, named vote tally.

A brief closing exchange followed, with a participant saying, "Thanks for having me," and the meeting concluding with general thanks to attendees. The transcript ends without additional discussion or a separately recorded vote breakdown.
