ADMINISTRATION 



The Montana Fish and Game Department 

 has realigned its administrative structure for 

 more efficiency. A district supervisory system 

 is now in effect. For convenience, the state has 

 been sub-divided into seven districts v/ith head- 

 quarters in KaHspell (District 1); Missoula (Dis- 

 trict 2); Bozeman (District 3); Great Falls (Dis- 

 trict 4); Billings (District 5); Glasgow (District 

 6), and Miles City (District 7). 



Each supervisor has day to day supervision 

 of all persons assigned to his district and is re- 

 sponsible solely to the Department Director or, 

 in his absence, the Deputy Director. Previously, 

 there was no single authority in a district. A 



staff made joint decisions on the district level 

 as well as joint recommendations to the direc- 

 tor. 



Division chiefs compose the director's staff. 

 With realignment, there has also been a change 

 in the function of this staff. It will plan, co- 

 ordinate, and budget for various activities of 

 the department under direct supervision of the 

 director. District supervisory personnel will 

 see that programs planned by the staff and 

 approved by the director are carried out. 



A new Division, Recreation and Lands De- 

 velopment, was necessitated by a grov/ing 

 need for planned access to hunting, fishing and 

 other recreation areas.
