- ➤ The City Council's Climate, Conservation and Parks Committee approved a resolution that will swap funding sources—applying remaining 2006 Open Space Bond funds to the Inderland-LaValle Creek Conservation Easement and moving the Hayden Conservation Easement to the 2018 bond to prevent losing tax-exempt status. County officials and the bond council asked for the change to close out the 2006 bond, and no extra dollars are being requested. Missoula Current
