Helena Citizens Council Chair Ben Kuiper told the City Commission Monday that the Citizens Council met the previous Thursday and passed an amended recommendation tied to a grant the commission had discussed several weeks earlier. Kuiper did not identify the grant by name or describe the substance of the amendments during his report.
Kuiper acknowledged that the amended recommendation had not yet been transmitted to the clerk's office as of his presentation. He indicated the paperwork would be forwarded once that process was complete, leaving commissioners without a written record of the changes at the time of the meeting.
The gap between the Citizens Council's action and the formal transmission means the commission has heard that a recommendation exists but has not yet received it in a form it can act on. Residents interested in the details will need to watch for the recommendation to appear on a future commission agenda once the clerk's office receives it.
