During public comment a resident said social media posts raised concerns that a local TAC committee was "policing private citizens" and even "calling a company about billing or services involving private individuals," conduct the commenter said was out of scope and inappropriate. The speaker asked for the TAC bylaws and urged the council to respond to the citizen questions rather than dismiss them.
Mister Orr, another public commenter, said portions of the social-media post were untrue and argued the local government study commission’s activities are grounded in state law. "That post started out with a blatant lie about the attack," Orr said, adding that "The attack does not investigate anyone" and citing Montana Code Annotated 2-2-144 (as he remembered it) in defense of the commission’s authority. Orr urged the council to address behavior he described as embarrassing to the body.
The mayor and chair pushed speakers to keep public comments focused on the agenda item in front of the council. There was no formal action taken during the meeting to investigate or change TAC procedures; the commenter was advised to request the TAC bylaws directly and to follow up with staff for documents.
