Helena Fire Chief Jon Campbell and Police Chief Brett Petty will speak about their departments’ current needs and the related mill levy and bond issues on the ballot.

The proposed mill levy and bond would fund additional police and fire department staff and equipment and construction of a third fire station.

The League will also give an overview of the 10-year local government review process guaranteed to Montana citizens in their state constitution. 

On the June ballot, citizens will get an opportunity to vote on whether they support forming a Local Government Review Commission to study the current form of local government and whether it should be changed. 

“The May 13 meeting gives voters an opportunity to be ready to vote on the once-a-decade choice of whether to review their government and also to hear from both chiefs about their ballot issues,” says Mary Harlow, co-chair of the LWV study committee.

To arrange a presentation on the local government review process, or if you have additional questions about it email lwv.helena [at] gmail.com.
