During the first reading of an ordinance to create the Grant Creek Crossing TEDD on Oct. 10, the Missoula County commissioners heard comments from the public and affected taxing jurisdictions, including the Missoula Rural Fire District. The fire district asked the commissioners for additional discussions around funding solutions and for assessments of the effects of TEDDs on fire districts. They also requested that an agreement be in place before adoption of the proposed Grant Creek Crossing TEDD.

The next public hearing and second reading of an ordinance to create the TEDD is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 7. The commissioners responded by asking staff if an additional public meeting could be added, if more time is needed prior to making a decision. Staff responded that to create the Grant Creek Crossing TEDD with a base year of 2024, an ordinance must be adopted by Nov. 30 to give the Department of Revenue the required 30 days’ notice prior to Dec. 31.

If a continuation of the Nov. 7 public hearing is required, it will occur on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 2 p.m.
