Commission passes three resolution in special meeting

After having to cancel their weekly business meeting last week due to not noticing it properly in local media, the Hill County Commission met in a special business meeting Monday and passed a trio of time-sensitive resolutions.

The first was an amendment to the county budget so they can receive and disburse funds from the Stonegarden program which is meant to bolster border security.

The commissioners also approved two requests for prosecutorial assistance from Hill County Attorney Lacey Lincoln which would allow her to appoint a temporary deputy county attorney to assist her in a pair of cases resulting from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks investigations.

All three resolutions were passed 2-0 with Commissioners Jake Strissel and Mark Peterson voting for and Commissioner Diane McLean absent.
