The Gallatin County Commissioners appointed Jill Therrien as the new County Auditor following the recent resignation of the previous auditor. Therrien was unanimously selected by the commissioners after an application process and was officially sworn into office by Justice of the Peace Bryan Adams on Aug. 20. Therrien succeeds Erin Cox, who resigned earlier this month to relocate closer to family. Therrien will complete the remainder of Cox’s term, which extends through Dec. 31, 2026. Having worked for Gallatin County for 15 years, Therrien brings a wealth of experience from her roles in the finance department, where she worked as a controller, lead accountant, and budget assistant. She holds a Master’s of Professional Accountancy and a Bachelor of Arts in Photography, both from Montana State University. Therrien expressed her enthusiasm for the new role, stating, “I’m excited and honored to take on this position. I see it as an excellent opportunity to apply my skills and experience in service to the citizens and employees of Gallatin County.” Commissioner Zach Brown praised Therrien’s appointment, saying, “This is a complete slam dunk for the county. Jill is more than ready to hit the ground running.” The auditor’s role is crucial in safeguarding taxpayer dollars. Key responsibilities include reviewing all county claims on a weekly basis, conducting internal audits of assets, evaluating internal policies and procedures, overseeing accounting transactions, and managing the county’s credit card program. Additionally, the auditor’s office provides necessary training for county staff and offers guidance on financial transactions. Commissioner Jennifer Boyer added, “I’m so thankful for Jill’s willingness to serve. The auditor’s office is our window of transparency into daily expenditures and fiscal management.” #gallatincountymontana #localgovernment #montana #countyauditor #auditor #finance #governmentfinances #publicservice

Gallatin County recently celebrated the exceptional efforts of a dedicated community member in the ongoing battle against noxious weeds. Mel Crichton, a longstanding advocate for healthy plant communities, was awarded the second-annual Gallatin County Outstanding Noxious Weed Management Award during the Gallatin County Commission’s public meeting on Aug. 13. “Managing noxious weeds, particularly on smaller lots in our rapidly developing county, remains a persistent challenge,” said Gallatin County Commissioner Zach Brown. “This award recognizes those who not only manage their own land but also inspire their neighbors to take action. It’s a way to spotlight the best and brightest in our community.” The Gallatin County Weed District established this award to honor individuals and groups who play a crucial role in preserving our county’s natural landscapes. These stewards are instrumental in protecting the wild lands and local agriculture that contribute to Gallatin County’s unique character. The award process involved community nominations, which were reviewed by the Gallatin County Weed Board. After careful consideration, the board selected Crichton for this year’s honor. Crichton was nominated by Jennifer Mohler, executive director of the nonprofit Grow Wild. In her nomination, Mohler praised Crichton as a “weed warrior” who has been a pivotal figure in Big Sky’s weed management efforts for years. His work extends beyond his former property near the Big Sky golf course to the open spaces between the course and neighboring homes. Upon moving to a different subdivision, he quickly elevated weed management practices within the homeowners association. “He’s dedicated, persistent, and proactive,” Mohler wrote. The Gallatin County Weed District is currently accepting nominations for next year’s award. #gallatincountymontana #localgovernment #montana #noxiousweeds #noxiousweedmanagement #outdoors #wildlife #agriculture
