FWP Seeks Boating Advisory Committee Members

Print

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking volunteers to serve on its statewide Boating Advisory Committee. The committee -- with one member from each of FWP’s seven administrative regions--assists FWP in determining the allocation of boat-in-lieu (BIL) of tax funds. BIL funds, composed of 20 percent of the fees paid by boat owners who register their crafts in their individual counties, contribute to site improvements associated with motorboat use. In 1999, $675,000 was distributed for site improvements statewide. Prospective advisory committee members should have an interest in boating activities and the improvement of Montana’s public motorboat facilities. Meetings are held once each year. Interested volunteers should submit their names and a brief description of their interest in serving on the committee to: Tom L. Reilly, FWP Boating Advisory Committee, P.O. Box 200701, Helena, MT 59620-0701. Applications will be accepted through May 15. For information call 444-3752.
