Due to the default stated above, Beneficiary has elected, and has directed the Successor Trustee, to sell the above-described property to satisfy the obligation. The sale is a public sale and any person, including the beneficiary, excepting only the trustee, may bid at the sale. The bid price must be paid immediately upon the close of bidding in cash or cash equivalents (valid money orders, certified checks or cashier’s checks). The conveyance will be made by Trustee’s Deed without any representation or warranty, including warranties of title or possession, express or implied, as the sale is made strictly on an as-is, where-is basis, without limitation, the sale being made subject to all existing conditions, if any, of lead paint, mold or other environmental or health hazards. The sale is subject to bankruptcy filing, payoff, reinstatement, or other circumstance that affects the validity of the sale. If the sale is set aside or the trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’;s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of funds paid to the successor trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The purchaser shall be entitled to possession of the property on the 10th day following the sale. The scheduled Trustee’s Sale may be postponed by public proclamation up to 15 days for any reason, and in the event of a bankruptcy filing or other court-ordered stay, the sale may be postponed by the trustee for up to 120 days by public proclamation at least every 30 days. The grantors, the successor- in-interest to the grantors, or any other person having an interest in the aforesaid property, at any time prior to the trustee’s sale, may pay to the present beneficiary the entire amount then due under the Deed of Trust and the obligation secured thereby (including costs and expenses actually incurred and attorney’s fees) other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred and thereby cure the default theretofore existing. This communication is from a debt collector. It is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. DATED: 12/7/2022 /S/ Brigham J. Lundberg Brigham J.

RESOLUTION 22-41 A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO CONTROL PEST INFESTATIONS; IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM, PROVIDING FOR EMERGENT ACTION, PROVIDING FOR PROCESS, PROVIDING FOR DELEGATION OF THE POWER TO APPOINT, PROVIDING FOR CONTROL AND DIRECTION OF CONTROL EFFORTS, PROVIDING AND DEFINING A MISDEMEANOR TOGETHER WITH CIVIL PROCESS AND PENALTIES, AND PROVIDING FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WHEREAS, the production of high quality agricultural products and orchard fruits ready for interstate commerce are a continuing and important means of livelihood for many Lake County residents, and a continuing and important economic facet of Lake County; and, WHEREAS, the Flathead Lake Cherry Growers is a Montana association registered with the Secretary of State of Montana, hereinafter FLCG, as a common-interest trade alliance; and, WHEREAS, Lake County previously adopted Resolution 04-15, “Resolution for Emergency Pest Management Authority;” and, WHEREAS, Lake County previously adopted Resolution 05-26, authorizing and providing for certain pest-control related activities; and, WHEREAS, the FLCG have positively identified continuing infestations of Rhagoletis indifferans, the Western Cherry Fruit fly, within the Pest Control District consisting of all of Lake County, and especially in the Finley Point region of Lake County, in feral, abandoned, ‘tax orchards,’ and ‘backyard’ fruit trees; and, WHEREAS, the above-referenced infestation is attested by the Montana State University extension agent for Lake County; and, WHEREAS, the processes and funding set forth in the previous Resolutions above-referenced are inadequate to meet the identified need for control of the pest; and, WHEREAS, infestations of the pest so described into commercial orchards will have important negative impacts and should be prevented and mitigated; and, WHEREAS, the largest source of a threat of further infestation are the feral, abandoned, ‘tax orchards,’ and ‘backyard’ fruit trees above referenced; and, WHEREAS, Lake County, pursuant to Title 7, Chapter 5, Part 21 and Chapter 22, Part 23, desires herewith to ordain and implement a private-public partnership between Lake County and FLCG for the common purpose, and in the common interest, of controlling the said pest. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. That the foregoing recitals are not mere Recitals but are part and parcel of this Resolution. 2. Lake County’s power to appoint a suitable person to engage in pest control measures set forth in Section 7-22-2301, MCA, is delegated to the Flathead Lake Cherry Growers; subject, however, to the veto of the County in particular cases as the County might then see fit, and further subject to the terms hereof. 3. Upon a finding of pest infestation as further described herein, FLCG shall initially contract with such suitable person for pest control, with the understanding that Lake County shall reimburse such reasonable, certified contract rates. 4. Such appointee must adhere to any regulations and other guidance promulgated by the Montana Department of Agriculture regarding chemical composition and application relative to the control of pests. 5. Such appointed person in fulfillment of such person’s duties shall be cloaked and clothed in the authority of Lake County pursuant to Section 7-22-2304, MCA, specifically empowered to fly over or enter upon any farm, grounds, or premises infested with such insects pests and poison, kill, catch, and exterminate such pests therein. 6. A claim by an owner that a fruit tree or trees are grown and marketed for the “organic” or “non-GMO” markets is meaningless unless such owner can immediately produce an organic certification from a USDA-accredited certifier; in such case, such fruit tree or trees may be treated with organic-rated controls or at the option of the appointee any pest-chemicals approved for use by the Montana Department of Agriculture. 7. Process: investigation by county extension; all such confirmed reports constitute an emergency as defined at Section 10-3-103(8), MCA, meaning, the imminent threat of a disaster causing immediate peril to life or property that timely action can avert or minimize. 8. In the event of such emergency, FLCG and Lake County shall both be informed, and FLCG shall undertake the retention and instruction of the pest controller as set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof. 9. Such person must keep records, which will belong to Lake County: parcel, owners name, how many trees treated, what was used, any special notes, cost, collated by FLCG and subject to county review and inspection. 10. Pursuant to its authority under Section XXXXX, MCA, intentionally or negligently failing to control pest populations that represent a threat to commercial crops is hereby defined as a misdemeanor, subjecting the owners, agents, and occupants to a fine not to exceed $500 and jail not to exceed six months. A confirmed report of infestation shall be probable cause to believe that the owner, agent, or occupant of the land wherein such tree or trees are situate are in violation of the offense. 11. Landowners who suffer the existence of pests that represent a threat to commercial crops are subject to civil penalties, to include injunction, fines and fees, and so forth. 12. Lake County shall reimburse FLCG for the cost of appointments delegated it, and shall provide uniformed law enforcement support in such situations where it may prove necessary. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board of Lake County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Monday, January 23, 2023 at 10:00 am in the Commissioners Chambers of the Lake County Courthouse, located at 106 4th Avenue East, Polson, MT 59860 on this Resolution of Intention.

General Information BEAR SAFETY AND AWARENESS Both black and grizzly bears are present on the Flathead Reservation. The majority of human-bear conflicts involve bears protecting their young or a food source. Many of these encounters can be avoided by following a few simple Bear Safe practices: Stay alert while recreating and look for bear activity, especially where visibility or hearing is limited (woods, brushy areas, streams) Travel in a group and keep members together (especially kids) Keep pets on a leash while on the trail Make noise whenever possible to avoid surprising a bear, especially where visibility or hearing is limited Carry bear spray close at hand, and know how to use it Avoid traveling at night, dawn or dusk Avoid carcass sites and scavenger concentrations Never feed wildlife, especially bears. Bears that become food conditioned lose their natural foraging behavior and pose a threatto human safety. It is unlawful to feed bears in Montana and the Flathead Reservation. Loud noises, such as banging pots and pans, using an air horn or car alarm, or shouting is a simple, effective short-term way to deter a bear on private property. Securing common, household attractants will reduce household conflicts. Properly secure garbage, pet food, bird feeders, small livestock and pets. Published on January 5th, 2023.
