The Butte-Silver Bow judiciary committee voted to hold communication number 2025‑486 in abeyance, granting staff time to submit a prepared resolution related to unsold tax‑deeded parcels the treasurer flagged for retention by the city and county.

Staff read the treasurer's communication: "Laurie Baker Patrick, Butte Silver Bow treasurer requesting council of commissioners direct the county attorney to prepare a council resolution authorizing the approval of unsold tax deed land that should be held in ownership of the city and county of Butte Silver Bow." County Attorney staff noted several parcels had been tax‑deeded to the county and said the deputy county attorney had been out sick but would submit the prepared resolution.

A commissioner moved to hold the communication in advance to allow staff time to file the prepared resolution; the motion was seconded and the committee voted in favor. The motion passed by voice vote. The committee did not take final action on any particular parcel at this meeting; staff follow-up was requested so the formal resolution can be prepared and presented in a future session.
