Bullock moved to approve First Montana Title to perform Title Commitments on the five properties; Blain seconded; motion carried.
9:00 Geospatial Information Systems Coordinator / Fire Warden Tom Kohley met with Commissioners to discuss the Rural Fire Capacity Grant application. Kohley is seeking a $7,000 grant to provide Rural District volunteers access to push-to-talk technology on their cell phones to access the radio system via the Zello software. Kohley noted antiquated radios and the high cost for Departments to replace radios for volunteers. Kohley does not intend the app to be used for mission-critical communications, but it does allow for radio traffic to be monitored without the purchase of a radio. Bullock moved to approve the grant application; Blain seconded; motion carried. Kohley also presented new road maps for the Road Shops.
