Welcome to Carbon County, Montana

Carbon County is located in south central Montana. Carbon County was created on March 4, 1895 from portions of Park and Yellowstone counties and includes an area of 2,066 square miles. The county seat is located in Red Lodge; other towns located within Carbon County include Bearcreek, Belfry, Bridger, Fromberg, Edgar, Silesia, Joliet, Boyd, Roberts, Luther and Roscoe.

All Commissioners David Davidson, John Prinkki and Doug Tucker were present. Clerk and Recorder Linda Ladvala was also present.

During the public comment period the Commissioners met with Barb Beck of Beck Consulting and Disaster and Emergency Services Director, Darrel Krum for a discussion on the Emergency Operations Plan. The Commissioners stated that they will approve the Emergency Operations Plan but it is important that all of the emergency responders and the governing bodies of each of the incorporated towns within the county be required to review and approve the plan so that each entity will be aware of their responsibilities in an emergency situation. The Continuity of Government Plan for the County’s elected officials and staff in the event of the need for sudden relocation or succession of duties of elected officials due to an emergency was also presented for review by the County Commissioners.
