Excerpt from the Valley Journal
In other news, the commission voted unanimously in favor of authorizing Meece to work with the Montana League of Cities and Towns on supporting certain positions in the legislature on behalf of the City of Polson.
A nonpartisan nonprofit organization, the Montana League of Cities and Towns is meant to work cooperatively between all incorporated municipalities throughout Montana to provide technical support, research, and advocacy at the both the state and federal levels. The League submitted a guide to Polson explaining the legislative goals and positions the League will take during bill proposals throughout the legislative session and for which they would like the city’s support and possible testimony.
Meece requested that when possible, an elected commissioner attend legislative meetings when a bill of particular importance to Polson arises and Polson input is needed.
The commissioners reviewed the eleven positions submitted to them by the League, and voted that Meece or an elected representative of the City of Polson could express the city’s support for all proposed items except number seven, “Support city of Colstrip and other communities impacted by natural resources industries,” and number nine, “Support for military operations in Montana,” both of which focused on taking action for cities that are not Polson.
The League’s comprehensive agenda packet can be viewed within the Jan. 18 meeting document at: https://www.cityofpolson.com/sites/default/files/fileattachments/mayor_and_city_commission/meeting/7710/cc_01_18_23_agenda.pdf
