SPECIAL Meeting Agenda 

In lieu of a regular board meeting the board is meeting with the Ravalli County Commissioners in Hamilton and requested to be on their agenda. 

BUSINESS

  • The North Valley Public Library Board wants to procure land for a new building and is requesting assistance and guidance from Ravalli County.

What is the process for a library district to procure land? Are public meetings required? Does the board need approval from Ravalli County before purchasing land?

Rob Horlacher approached the library board about selling his land at 116 Willow Dr., Stevensville. He said his company could build a library building, then allow the library to move in and pay a mortgage, in a rent-to-own scenario, since the library does not have the funds at this time. The library could then move in and sell the current building/location to help pay for the new library.  How can the Library put a proposal such as that to bid in order to legally follow the bidding process required?
