MT 43 News Staff
Bill Jarocki, public management consultant for the Montana State Department of Revenue, has been hired as Chief Administrative Officer with the Broadwater County Commissioners on a part-time basis. He was one of three interviewed for the job. Nine people applied for the newly formed position. He was introduced at the August 30 regular County Commissioner meeting. His introduction was not listed on the regular agenda.
Jarocki, a Helena resident, will work 12 hours per week through November with all Broadwater County departments to analyze their budgets policies and procedures. The commissioners worked with Jarocki to firm up the 2023-2024 budget. He set up a working budget form so each department could be aware of their expenditures and revenue to learn where they could save money. He will be paid from the general fund at approximately $32 per hour. Following his retirement from the Dept. of Revenue in November, he will work up to 30 hours per week for the county.
According to his resume, Jarocki created Voltaic Solutions in 2010 to work in public management and finance to develop cost-effective solutions for communities. A Chicago native, Jarocki first began his career in government finance in Idaho. He presently works as manager of the business services unit of the Department of Revenue.
In other business, Community Development and Planning Director Nichole Brown presented an exemption review for a boundary relocation in the Olsen Minor Subdivision, located on Cemetery and Carson Lane south of Townsend. Commissioner Darrel Folkvord asked about the drain field. It will continue to lay within Tract 4, the original homestead area. Gary Olsen’s home will now be located in Tract 3. The boundary relocation will allow for two separate tracts rather than the original tract within a tract, according to owner Gary Olsen. The commissioners approved the exemption.
Commissioner Chair Debi Randolph announced that the Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ) had confirmed clearance of toxic substances from the Grover lot on the corner of Broadway and Oak Street. The lot was formerly the ambulance building. Prior to that, it served as a gas station owned by Don and Charleen Grover. The gasoline tank had spread toxic substances into the ground. The contaminated soil was removed in the summer of 2021.
Randolph said the hospital district-owned lot can now be listed for sale. Billings Clinic Broadwater has the first option to purchase the lot according to Hospital District Chair Victor Sample.
