MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
REGARDING HB121
This Memorandum of Understanding (“Agreement”) is entered into between Yellowstone
County (“County”), the City of Billings (“Billings”) and the City of Laurel (“Laurel”) (collectively “the
Parties”) for purposes of creating and implementing processes and procedures for complying with
requirements set forth by the Montana Legislature in the laws collectively known as House Bill 121
(“HB121”) during the 2021 Legislative session.
WHEREAS, the County, Billings and Laurel are parties to the agreement that creates the
multi-jurisdictional service district created to provide health services and health department functions
known as the “Interlocal Agreement;”
WHEREAS, by virtue of HB121, the Parties are subject to various rights and responsibilities
created by the Interlocal Agreement; and,
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Parties to comply with HB121 and to set forth as clearly
as possible the methods of doing so for each as well as for the Parties collectively;
THEREFORE, this Agreement sets forth the following terms pursuant to which the County,
Billings and Laurel shall agree:
1. Definitions: This Agreement shall be subject to the following definitions:
(a) “Local Governing Body” shall refer to elected officials governing Yellowstone County (Board
of County Commissioners), the City of Billings (Billings City Council), and the City of Laurel
(Laurel City Council), respectively.
(b) “Local Governing Authority” shall refer to a subset of the Local Governing Bodies that is
constituted and empowered to provide oversight and approval of certain Health Office and
Board of Health recommendations as required under HB121 and as set forth herein.
2. Composition of and action by the Local Governing Authority.
(a) The Parties agree that, using the proportions described in the Interlocal Agreement, a five-
member Local Governing Authority will be created within one (1) month of the effective date
of this Agreement. Composition of the Local Governing Authority shall be as follows:
o Two (2) members appointed by the Yellowstone County Board of County
Commissioners;
o Two (2) members appointed by the Billings City Council; and,
o One (1) member appointed by the Laurel City Council.
(b) The Parties agree that each member of the Local Governing Authority must be currently
seated, elected members of the Local Governing Body that appoints them.
24
Memorandum of Understanding Regarding HB121 - Page 2 of 5
(c) Each Local Governing Body has the sole appointment and removal authority for members of
the Local Governing Authority.
(d) Each appointed member of the local governing authority shall be appointed for a three (3)
year term.
(e) In the event that a Local Governing Body has one or more unfilled position(s) on the Local
Governing Authority, then the Local Governing Authority shall continue to operate, subject
to the terms of the quorum requirement that follows.
(f) A quorum of the Local Governing Authority shall be established by the presence of at least
one (1) member appointed by each Local Governing Body. In the event that a Local
Governing Body has no current appointed individuals, then a quorum is achieved by the
presence of at least one (1) appointed member of each remaining Local Governing Body that
has made an appointment.
(g) The Local Governing Authority shall have a chairperson for purposes of meeting management
and logistics. The chairperson shall have no special powers or authorities different from or
greater than any other member. The chairperson shall rotate each calendar year, starting with
a representative of the County, followed by a representative of the City of Billings, and then
followed by the representative of the City of Laurel. The rotation cycle shall then repeat.
(h) The Local Governing Authority shall meet on an as-needed basis and may take action through
an in-person meeting or an electronic meeting (e.g., telephone or computer) subject to all open
meeting requirements. The chairperson, as part of his/her management and logistics function
shall determine the manner of meeting or acting for each time a need for local governing
authority discussion or action is required. The chairperson is responsible for ensuring proper
public notice is made of any and all meetings of the Local Governing Authority and that
minutes are recorded, as necessary.
(i) So long as a quorum is present, actions of the local governing authority shall be determined
by a simple majority vote of those present.
3. Issues Requiring Action by the Local Governing Authority.
(a) Appointment of a new Health Officer. Upon determining the need for a new Health Officer,
the Board of Health shall make its recommendation to the Local Governing Authority, which
shall act to approve or disapprove the recommendation after conducting a public meeting. In
the event that there is not a Health Officer in place at the time of the recommended
appointment, then the person recommended by the Board of Health for appointment may fill
the role until such time as the Local Governing Authority acts.
(b) Approval of new local public health rules. Any proposed new local public health rules shall
be developed and vetted by the Health Officer and Board of Health. When the development
process is complete, then the Board of Health or Health Officer shall notify the Local
Governing Authority that a decision is needed, and a public meeting shall be arranged by the
25
Memorandum of Understanding Regarding HB121 - Page 3 of 5
chairperson. The Local Governing Authority will then act to approve or disapprove the
proposed local public health rule.
(c) Approval of revised local public health rules. If the Health Officer and Board of Health
determine that an existing rule needs to be modified, then they shall develop and vet the
proposed revisions. When the development process is complete, then the Board of Health or
Health Officer shall notify the Local Governing Authority that a decision is needed, and a
public meeting shall be arranged by the chairperson. The Local Governing Authority will then
act to approve or disapprove the proposed local public health rule. In the event that the Local
Governing Authority disapproves the proposed revision, then any existing local public health
rule shall remain in effect.
(d) Approval of fees proposed for adoption by the local governing body to administer regulations
for the control and disposal of sewage from private and public buildings and facilities.
4. Issues not Subject to Local Governing Authority Approval.
(a) The Parties wish to clarify that the purpose and scope of this Agreement, and of the Local
Governing Authority, is to comply with the terms of HB121. Therefore, it is necessary to
explicitly state some, though not all, of the issues that will not be addressed by the Local
Governing Authority.
(b) HB121 states that “(i)t is not a purpose of this chapter to hinder, slow, or remove
nonemergency-related powers granted to a local board of health.” [MCA 50-2-116(1)]
Therefore, the local governing bodies have determined that the following activities and
authorities are not subject to approval by the local governing authority:
o Completion of and action on authorized inspections (e.g., food service inspections,
public accommodation inspections, etc.), including issuance or denial of permits or
licenses resulting from such inspections.
o Issuance of quarantine and/or isolation order to individuals consistent with state law
and regulations governing the control of communicable diseases.
o Issuance of public health guidance for matters such as but not limited to emerging
infectious diseases, food supply warnings and recalls, water supply warnings and
recalls, etc.
o Time-sensitive actions required to protect the public, such as but not limited to closing
an unsanitary restaurant or preventing the sale of a potentially spoiled food after a
truck wreck.
o Approval of fees established under authority of the Board of Health unless otherwise
specified in this Agreement.
5. No Creation of Entity, Hold Harmless. This Agreement does not create any relationship
whereby the Parties create any governmental or non-governmental entity outside of the scope
described herein. This Agreement shall not be construed to create, either expressly or by
implication, the relationship of agency between the County, the City of Billings and/or the
City of Laurel in any manner in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement, and none
shall be liable for the acts, errors, or omissions of the others entered into, committed or
performed with respect to or in the performance of this Agreement. Each party agrees to
26
Memorandum of Understanding Regarding HB121 - Page 4 of 5
indemnify and holds the others harmless against any claims arising from the acts, errors or
omissions of its employees, appointees or agents.
6. Legal Compliance. Each Party agrees to be solely responsible for compliance with all laws,
rules and requirements of each entity and agrees to abide by them as part of the Local
Governing Authority.
7. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Montana. Should a dispute arise
regarding the terms of this Agreement, the Parties shall first enter into good faith discussions
in an attempt to resolve the dispute. Should the dispute result in litigation, the Parties agree
that proper venue lies in the Montana 13th Judicial District Court, Yellowstone County.
8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire understanding between the Parties
with respect to the specific subject matter hereof, and no prior oral or written representation
shall serve to modify or amend this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified except
by action of all three governing bodies.
9. Authorized Signatures. The Parties represent and agree that the persons signing this
Agreement have authorization to bind their respective governmental entities to the terms of
this Agreement and that this Agreement is not valid and enforceable until all Parties have
signed.

Re: Proposed Solid Waste Rate Increases to be Considered by the City Council
Dear City of Laurel Resident:
The City of Laurel operates a Solid Waste Division that collects trash from all residential and
commercial properties inside the City limits. The City transports the trash collected to the City of
Billings’ landfill for disposal and must pay a set fee for each ton for disposal at Billings’ landfill.
Increases in disposal fees, along with increased costs of wages, fuel, vehicle repair, and
replacement, necessitate that the City Council considers increasing rates for all properties served
with solid waste collection within the City.
The Solid Waste Division operates based upon the rates and charges it collects, which are included
in the monthly water bills and are not supported by tax dollars. The City strives to keep the rates
as low as possible, while maintaining its ability to serve the residents and business owners within
the City. Unfortunately, the current rates are inadequate to keep up with the City’s expenses and
the need to replace worn-out refuse trucks. A recent refuse truck on order will have to be paid for
with a loan, as the current solid waste reserves would be depleted if the City tried to purchase the
truck outright. The refuse truck on order has a price tag of over $380,000.00 and is needed to
continue making daily trips to Billings to dispose of the trash collected within the City.
Please be advised that the decision to consider a rate increase is not made lightly. As Mayor of the
City of Laurel, I believe having the funds to operate the Solid Waste Department is in the best
interests of the citizens of Laurel.
The attached spreadsheet will give you a detailed explanation of the expenses and the revenues of
the Solid Waste Department, along with projected costs that the City could be facing if the trends
from the last few years are an indication of what we will expect.
For your information, the current residential rate per month and the proposed increases are as
follows:
November 2022 $14.00 per month Current charges
December 2022 $17.00 per month $3.00 per month increase
51
July 2023 $20.00 per month $3.00 per month increase
July 2024 $23.00 per month $3.00 per month increase
July 2025 $25.50 per month $2.50 per month increase
July 2026 $27.50 per month $2.00 per month increase
The Laurel Municipal Code requires that commercial rates will not be less than the annual
residential rates, and those rates are determined by the price per gallon that the residents pay yearly.
Those rates are determined by the level of service commercial accounts require. The commercial
rates are as follows:
November 2022 $0.0327 per gallon per month current charges
December 2022 $0.0392 per gallon per month $0.0065 per gallon increase
July 2023 $0.0461 per gallon per month $0.0069 per gallon increase
July 2024 $0.0531 per gallon per month $0.0070 per gallon increase
July 2025 $0.0588 per gallon per month $0.0057 per gallon increase
July 2026 $0.0634 per gallon per month $0.0046 per gallon increase
The rate increases are necessary to provide for the increased costs to dispose of our trash at the
Billings landfill, pay for increased fuels costs (last year increased by 46%), ongoing maintenance
of current operations, replacement of the refuse trucks, wages of City employees, and to provide
enough funds to build-back depleted reserve funds.
The revenue raised over the next five years is anticipated to be $722,000.00, of which $180,000.00
will go for a refuse truck loan payment, $400,000.00 to purchase another refuse truck, $120,000.00
for the increased cost to dispose of our trash at the Billings’ landfill, and some additional to funds
to pay for wages and reserve fund building.
The City Council will have a public hearing on December 13, 2022, where the proposed rates will
be presented and discussed, and the public will have a chance to comment on the rate increases.
If you have any questions, please contact the City Clerk Treasurer or the Public Works Director at
406-628-7431 or by email at cityclerk@laurel.mt.gov.
Sincerely,
___________________________
