County reappoints and appoints members to parks, trails and park advisory groups

Missoula County commissioners approved several appointments Jan. 30 to advisory bodies overseeing parks and trails.

Staff recommended reappointment of Paige Judnich, Ian Ruff, Steve Snider and Ria Overhalt to three‑year terms on the Parks and Trails Advisory Board through June 30, 2029, and appointment of Matt Don to a second alternate term. The board moved, seconded and approved the slate by voice vote.

The board also reappointed Martin Oakland Morgan Valiant to the Tom Green Memorial Park Advisory Group; one position on that advisory group remains open.

Staff did not record further discussion on selection criteria; the transcript notes the appointments and approval votes but no public comment beyond routine procedure.
