MISSOULA – At their meeting Thursday, Aug. 5 the Missoula County Commissioners appointed Garry Swain to fill Klaus von Stutterheim’s position on the Seeley Lake Community Council. Swain will fill the position until May 31, 2024.
There were two applicants for the position, Swain and Seeley Lake business owner John Richards.
Richards applied to fill Kris Martin’s term with Sharon Teague whom the Commissioners appointed Feb. 4, 2021. He again applied for Von Stutterheim’s position. At the Commissioners’ May 11 meeting, Richards was the sole applicant. They decided to extend the application period indefinitely to increase the applicant pool.
At the Aug. 5 meeting, Commissioner Juanita Vero said she appreciated Swain’s experience and commitment to organizational leadership in development. She felt this would be beneficial to the board.
Commissioner Josh Slotnick added Swain’s ability to bridge otherwise unbridgeable gaps between people was really impressive.
With no public comment, Slotnick and Vero voted unanimously to appoint Swain to the Seeley Lake Community Council.
