Peter Strauss: I'm sorry I cannot stick around for most of the meeting, I have some
legislative committees I am scheduled to testify in. Many of you know I am also part of
Ski Patrol up at Great Divide. We're an all-volunteer team and based on the National Ski
Patrol Charter, are required to provide all the medical equipment and toboggans on our
own. While we're supported by Great Divide and St. Peter's Health, they don't cover
everything. We're offering Delivery of Chili O'Brien's Wednesday dinner on March 10
Peter Strauss: Luke - thank you for your leadership of our schools. And thank you
to Dr. Ream for your service and leadership as well. We're going to miss you.

Matt Elsaesser: Email Update to Hometown Helena from Health Officer Niemann!
I wanted to reach out and give you some good news. Our triggering criteria score for the Lewis and Clark COVID19 Emergency Rules has fallen below 33; therefore, groups up to 50 are able to meet without the requirement of a plan review and approval by our team. However, we do recommend a plan and we’d be more than happy to assist you to make sure there are adequate prevention measures in place if HTH decides to meet in person again in the near future.
Here a link to the page where you can find guidance documents and the event form.
