LOCAL GOVERNMENT REVIEW STUDY COMMISSION CITY OF POLSON, MONTANA FINAL REPORT APPROVED JULY 14, 2026 SUMMARY The report includes how and why there is a Local Government Review Study Commission. It describes how the commissioners educated themselves about their. Task, as well as how it went about its business. Specific findings were made as a result of the survey, public hearing, interviews, investigations and observations. Recommendations for further action are set forth in two categories: (a) Recommendations for amendments to the City Charter which must be approved by the voters, and (b) a supplementary report for action which can be taken by the City Commission exercising its policy making authority. While the Study Commission recommends keeping the Charter and form of government, it recommends amendments to the Charter to emphasize the authority of the elected officials to be the policy making body for the City. This starts with a change to the Preamble language. Article II changes propose that the mayor have more authority in setting the agenda, and reporting back to the citizens each year. An amendment is suggested to ensure that a majority vote of the entire board is required for the City Commission to act. The Study Commission also recommends that Article Ill be amended to emphasize that the city manager is continuously responsible to the elected officials, adds additional requirements for the manager to assist the city commissioners, and clarifies that the chief legal officer is employed and/or terminated only by the City Commission. It is also suggested that the charter be changed to allow the City Commission to hire additional legal counsel as it may determine, rather than requiring an exigent circumstance. Minor amendments include correcting text and punctuation as well as deleting Article VII in its entirety, as there is no transition to a different system contemplated. The Supplemental Report lists those items which would require action by the City Commission, and not a vote of the electorate. Suggestions include: (a) a review of the Drug Policy, Hiring Policy and budgetary process, (b) amending the City Code to ensure the City Commission receives input from the advisory boards and, (c) improving communication between the City Commission and the Executive. EXHIBIT D. CERTIFICATE ESTABLISHING THE OFFICIAL BALLOT FOR THE NOVEMBER 3, 2026 ELECTION BALLOT ON AMENDING THE POLSON CITY CHARTER Vote for One. O FOR the adoption of the amendments to the City Charter recommended by the Local Government Review Study Commission. O FOR the existing City Charter. We, the Study Commissioners of the City of Polson do hereby affirm that this is the official ballot approved by the Local Government Review Study Commission of the City of Potson. In testimony whereof, we set out hands. Done at Polson City Hall this 14TH day of July 2026. PUBLISHED IN THE LAKE COUNTY LEADER ON JULY 30TH AND OCTOBER 29TH 2026 MNAXLP __________________________

The bid price must be paid immediately upon the close of bidding in cash or cash equivalents (valid money orders, certified checks or cashier’s checks). The conveyance will be made by Trustee’s Deed, without any representation or warranty, including warranty of title, express or implied, as the sale is made strictly on an as-is, where-is basis, without limitation, the sale is being made subject to all existing conditions, if any, of lead paint, mold or other environmental or health hazards.
