Gallatin City-County Health Officer to leave, commissioners to approve new person for position

Belgrade City Council likely to send message of compliance

The Belgrade City Council is poised to pass a resolution making it clear that it will comply with new state law related to emergency health regulations so that Belgrade is not penalized financially when receiving future federal appropriations. Such a resolution would send “a message that we’ll comply with the directives of the state and not necessarily those of the local health board,” City Manager Ted Barkley said during this Monday’s council meeting. By doing so, he explained, the city will not be penalized under a provision in the clause in House Bill 632, which stipulates that federal appropriations for municipalities adopting health restrictions more stringent than those in effect at the state level to be cut by 20 percent.

Kelley resigns Health Department post

Gallatin City-County Health Officer Matt Kelley will be leaving his role with the health department to lead a statewide public health nonprofit. The Montana Public Health Institute announced Wednesday afternoon that Kelley has been hired as the organization’s first CEO. Kelley will continue to serve as the county’s health officer until June and will help with the search to fill the vacancy he’ll leave, according to a news release from the Gallatin City-County Health Department. “As challenging and trying as the pandemic has been, I love being health officer in Gallatin County and leaving will be very difficult,” Kelley said in the health department news release. “This new role allows me to continue working throughout Montana to improve the health and quality of life for all Montanans. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build a new organization to serve the state that I love.”
