Charlotte McBride, transportation manager, told the joint meeting staff are concentrating on foundational work including capital planning, developing reliable traffic and parking monitoring, and pursuing dedicated revenue sources to underwrite multimodal services. McBride described mobility hubs as locations where people could switch modes — for example, park and ride, bike share, and bus transfers — and said staff applied for federal grants to fund design and engineering work on the concept.

Staff described completed work over the past year including parking counts performed in August 2024 and March 2025, public outreach tied to a Safe Streets for All safety action plan, and hiring of a transportation coordinator to support implementation. On parking, staff said they recommend moving from ad hoc measures to a comprehensive parking-management program that could include digital monitoring equipment and enforcement reform. McBride cited a vendor example used by a local parking garage (SKIDATA) and said a comparable package had been estimated at about $165,000 capital plus an annual software fee of about $8,800.

On mobility hubs, McBride said the grant request for engineering and design was for roughly $700,000. Staff noted that, if federal funds are not awarded, a smaller local-funded effort (roughly $80,000) could cover initial conceptual design and preliminary engineering for priority sites.

Commissioners and council members asked about realistic expectations for congestion relief and what residents can expect over a five-year horizon. McBride said staff expect to make progress on planning, monitoring and pilot programs, but that large-scale congestion responses depend on funding and the timing of capital projects. Commissioners also asked about staffing; McBride said current work spans about 2–3 full-time-equivalent staff between transportation staff, the pathways coordinator and shared parks/pathways resources; many projects will require consultant support or additional staff hours.

The council moved to approve the Transportation Division work plan; the motion passed unanimously on both governing bodies. Staff will return with refined capital plans, technical specifications for monitoring equipment and recommendations on parking-management options and possible revenue mechanisms.","Town and county approved the Transportation Division work plan for FY25–26.

Presenters told the joint meeting the housing program recorded 111 permanently deed-restricted homes completed in 2024 and that the approved plan emphasizes preservation, continued public–private partnerships and aging-in-place measures.

Housing Director April Dorton summarized 2024 as a record year for locally restricted housing and presented project-level details. She said the 111 homes completed in 2024 housed 288 people: 161 adults and 127 children. Dorton described three projects completed or in the ground in 2024: Black Creek (48 rental homes intended to serve lower-income households), Jackson Street Apartments (57 rental homes serving a mix of income bands) and Forsyth Phase I (a 6-unit Habitat for Humanity ownership project aimed at lower-income buyers). Dorton also said the community has produced a significant number of deed-restricted units over recent years and noted ongoing public–private partnerships drove much of the recent production.

The plan calls out a continuing need for preservation of existing restricted homes. Staff described the housing preservation program and said the program aims to permanently preserve 25 existing homes for the workforce over the next five years; staff also said they are pursuing two deed-restriction purchases under that program. Dorton described additional work on aging-in-place programs, an accessibility loan product funded by a recent Community Foundation grant, and expanded technical assistance for households with disabilities.

Council members and commissioners discussed gaps and trends, including whether recent housing production is keeping up with job growth and demographic change. Dorton said the community-wide indicator dashboard links the housing supply plan with employment and population indicators; staff reported the resident workforce share is about 57% (a community goal is to house 65% of the workforce locally). Several elected officials repeated interest in expanding preservation strategies and in exploring additional financing options, such as a housing authority acquisition/resale model and leveraging philanthropic sources alongside public funds.

The town council moved to approve the FY26 housing supply plan (motion by Councilwoman Speer); the council vote was unanimous. The county commission subsequently approved the same plan on a unanimous vote.","The Town of Jackson and Teton County approved the FY26 housing supply plan.

Teton County commissioners, however, continued their consideration of the same work plan to a future joint meeting to allow county staff time to incorporate recently added items and to clarify county-only projects.

Ryan Hostinger, the joint principal long-range planner, presented the work plan to the joint bodies and described an itemized schedule of updates and projects for town and county land development regulations, water quality LDR updates, PRD (planned residential development) tool review, and scoping for a future comprehensive plan update. Hostinger and other staff noted that some projects added after the meeting packet was posted — notably county work on a habitat mitigation-in-lieu fee program and follow-up to a Teton County Scenic Preserve Trust consultant study — had been included in an updated presentation shown at the meeting.

Town council members raised questions about the scope and organization of the work plan and whether it should be titled to reflect a broader program of multi-departmental activities. Hostinger responded that the work plan has evolved from a comp-plan implementation list and that, as more departments create their own work plans, work will shift accordingly. Several council members asked for scoping workshops and public outreach before any comprehensive plan update is launched; Hostinger said scoping, community survey work and request-for-proposal (RFP) preparations were anticipated in the coming year.

County commissioners pressed staff on county-specific items. Commissioners asked that the Teton County Scenic Preserve Trust work — the consultant product described as “status quo plus” — be clearly listed and tracked, and asked for a staff briefing on what resources (including potential new FTEs) might be needed if the county chooses to expand the trust’s role. County staff said ongoing work on the Scenic Preserve Trust is already included in the work plan as an ongoing task, and that next steps from the GSBS/GSBS consultant report will determine whether an additional FTE or other resources are required.

The town council voted to adopt the FY26 implementation work plan as presented. The motion passed on the town side (motion by Councilwoman Deaton). The county commission later moved to continue its action; the county motion to continue consideration until the governing bodies’ next joint meeting in early June carried 3–2 (Commissioners Gardner and Newcomb opposed). County staff said the continuation will allow time for interdepartmental coordination and to add clarity about county-only projects.

Key items noted by staff for the upcoming year include water-quality LDR updates tied to the county water-quality management plan, PRD tool review and the possible development of a habitat mitigation-in-lieu fee program. Hostinger also flagged that residential growth is approaching a “growth trigger” (about 7% residential growth), prompting scoping work for a possible comprehensive plan review.

The town and county agreed to return to the item at a future joint meeting; county staff will follow up with a revised package and additional detail requested by commissioners.","Town of Jackson approved the proposed FY26 joint implementation work plan for long-range planning.

The extension was presented as a stopgap to avoid letting the current JPA expire in August while the jurisdictions work with ESCI, a consultant retained for Fire/EMS strategic planning. Town and county leaders said they expect the consultant’s work to inform longer-term changes to the JPA and to a coordinated timeline for reviewing other joint powers agreements.

Town staff told the joint meeting they began work on JPA and memorandum of understanding reviews in January and decided that, because the Fire/EMS JPA is up in August, the governing bodies did not have sufficient time to negotiate a full replacement. “The idea was that this would be a stopgap measure that we would have a one-year extension on the Fire EMS JPA while we work with our consultant,” staff said, referring to ESCI. Staff said ESCI’s scope was expanded to include how other multi-jurisdiction contracts have been structured and to recommend options for splitting or allocating services among jurisdictions in the future.

Town Councilman Schechter moved approval of the town’s JPA extension “subject to minor change by staff.” The council voted unanimously in favor. The county commission approved the same motion later in the meeting on a unanimous vote.

County and town staff said the extension will allow time to receive ESCI’s report, expected in late spring or early summer, and to develop a timeline for reviewing the other JPAs. Staff noted the extended agreement must be filed with the Wyoming Attorney General’s office before the current document expires.

The joint bodies did not adopt substantive, long-term changes to how Fire/EMS is provided; officials said the extension preserves existing arrangements while staff work through the consultant recommendations and a separate, multi-item timeline for other JPAs.

Votes and next steps: the town and county each approved the one-year extension; staff will bring consultant findings and a recommended schedule to future joint meetings for the broader JPA review and follow-up action.","Town of Jackson and Teton County approved a one-year extension to their Joint Powers Agreement for fire and emergency medical services as a temporary measure while staff and consultants complete a strategic review of the larger set of JPAs.","actionData","errors"]
