Town of Jackson — consent calendar (approved): The Town approved the consent calendar as amended (items included: meeting minutes — April 7 and April 17 special joint meeting; Jacksonville Airport Board FY26 budget consideration; Energy Conservation Works FY26 budget consideration; and an added item to reallocate Fire/EMS mini pumper funds). Motion to approve was made by Councilman Schechter and seconded by Councilman Veeneman; the vote passed unanimously by voice vote.

Teton County — consent calendar (approved): The County separately approved its consent calendar by voice vote (motion carried unanimously).

Fire/EMS JPA extension (approved): The town and county approved a one-year extension of the joint powers agreement for fire and emergency medical services, subject to minor staff changes. Town motion by Councilman Schechter (seconded by Councilwoman Feaman); county motion moved and seconded by county commissioners (voice votes); both jurisdictions approved the extension unanimously. Staff indicated the extension will be filed with the attorney general’s office.

Joint long-range planning work plan: The Town approved the FY26 implementation work plan (motion by Councilwoman Deaton). The County, after discussion and addition of material at a recent workshop, voted to continue consideration of the joint work plan until the next joint meeting in early June (county motion carried 3–2). The split outcome means the town’s approval and county’s continuation will be reconciled at the next joint meeting.

Housing supply plan (approved): The Town and County approved the FY26 housing supply plan. Motion by Councilwoman Speer; the town passed the motion by voice vote and the county adopted the same motion by voice vote. Staff will publish the plan and return with preservation program recommendations.

Transportation work plan (approved): The Town and County approved the transportation division work plan. Motion by Councilman Schechter; second by Councilwoman Veeneman; the town and county both approved the plan by voice vote. Staff will pursue mobility-hub grant funding, procure parking-monitoring technology and return with a capital plan and funding options.

Travel and Tourism Board FY26 consideration (continued): The Travel and Tourism item that had been removed from consent was continued to a special joint budget meeting scheduled for May 13, 2025, to allow the Travel and Tourism Board to appear and for both bodies to discuss budget implications.

Meeting minutes and formal motions are recorded in the joint meeting packet; where roll-call names were not read into the record, items were approved or continued by voice vote or by the roll/voice method recorded by the clerk.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jackson - Town Council Joint Information Meeting - May 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Summary of formal votes at the May 5 joint meeting of Jackson Town Council and the Teton County Commission, including consent-calendar approvals, the Fire/EMS JPA extension, adoption or continuations of work plans, and scheduling decisions.","taxTitle","Jackson Town Council, Jackson, Teton County, Wyoming","taxId",68752,"location","Wyoming","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6568706,"Council and commission approve transportation work plan; staff seeks parking monitoring and mobility-hub design funds",1256,3627000,4883000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3193973-191381029740eb4141d3e83a6ed43578&start=3627&end=4883","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3193973-191381029740eb4141d3e83a6ed43578/thumbnail_3627000.jpg","/articles/6568706/Wyoming/Council-and-commission-approve-transportation-work-plan-staff-seeks-parking-monitoring-and-mobility-hub-design-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568706-ffd8639318790abbca949715e1dc95bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159783&Signature=Qgul62oZdaujLVBh3Fpx6mMRi6rhOZIaOihcT~CrzfWDxaVC1Gfkm3HxkH36xBV0hnTIap96~cCs~nPGoOX2AD3ZNIHFMuV5gW16URwiNR29n9OXf41yL462sYNmtnjYIpchlMbpLub2ZZmZoud2d-8dzhQoG11PNgm7MANUsf3UojOV4FbeLWu2nEn4VUyqMTj2FFvMdiiNUTDPMlJaxbATCIXTcTYul7Demp6TlwPJ9z-vAE9EX-3Ct4bdl6GQeqlTXYYTNF2DSkDX4HmJx5zrwN~Bl4-yPtuthp97CgNdz8I96HoxFyZ2rz6r0mIOBK-IOe46WoK-OIjpCHDdRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson Town Council and the Teton County Commission approved the transportation division work plan on May 5, 2025. The plan prioritizes system monitoring, capital planning, parking management/reform and design work for “mobility hubs,” and staff said they will pursue grant funding and technology purchases to improve data collection and management.

Charlotte O’Brien, transportation manager, presented the FY26 work plan and described priorities intended to support mode shift and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by improving active and shared transportation choices. Staff emphasized the need for better system monitoring (traffic, parking and pedestrian activity), a capital plan for transportation assets, and dedicated revenue strategies to fund multimodal services and maintenance.

O’Brien described mobility hubs as transfer points that consolidate parking, transit, bike and micromobility options near trip generators and showed a conceptual network centered on downtown, midtown and west Jackson. Staff said they had prepared a federal grant application for design work to fund mobility-hub engineering and urban design; if that grant is not awarded they recommended allocating local funds for limited conceptual design.

The work plan includes a recommended procurement of parking-monitoring equipment and an initial budget estimate for scoping and technical specification; staff explained that continuous digital monitoring would allow better real-time management of capacity and enforcement and would inform broader parking-policy choices. Commissioners questioned whether paid parking was the objective; staff said the immediate aim is monitoring and management — reform options would follow analysis and public discussion.

Councilman Schechter moved to approve the transportation division work plan and Councilwoman Veeneman seconded; the town approved the plan by voice vote. The county took the same motion and approved it unanimously. Staff said they will return with capital-program details, grant updates and the results of any parking-monitoring procurement.","Town and county approved a transportation division work plan that emphasizes system monitoring, capital planning, parking management and mobility-hub design; staff said they will pursue grants and recommended procurement of parking-monitoring technology.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6568711,"Jackson, Teton County adopt FY26 housing supply plan following discussion of preservation and workforce needs",2863,4301000,7164000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3193973-191381029740eb4141d3e83a6ed43578&start=4301&end=7164","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3193973-191381029740eb4141d3e83a6ed43578/thumbnail_4301000.jpg","/articles/6568711/Wyoming/Jackson-Teton-County-adopt-FY26-housing-supply-plan-following-discussion-of-preservation-and-workforce-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568711-73ff9f35bb71d430fcde1fcd5ba4bae2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159783&Signature=Zgk8adKklrYCYM9ATQISd86FOkRz3MAYrWOZNNqs5h4qtqIGgScPLbEyNYlo0I4fxOwlG2p8rnYKZlzM-~IfHgspIzCRtq-olW6jJm1TH3jy0XKUpBT2RF5AxU-zXwIERgvksbiX1-LCFw~VUFqaB8zNITTEmGDJRskmToIBR8WVBJrmunbMCpospi~qBzyDizEoNxcKPuGfZQoptWu78RsQ~61aAlLQY3WVycbLCZBKOgh7KrjgVtCQXaD04lYFyr1lHCPZXUz8JuG1I590bmCTcq52op7wiSKJK192O6ji2RUE93vfMCKs9OVycZrQ7~GWS-5tNkGwFJNO5E1sHQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson Town Council and the Teton County Commission approved the fiscal year 2026 housing supply plan on May 5, 2025, after a staff presentation outlining recent production, household trends and proposed preservation measures.

April Dorton, housing director, told the joint meeting that 2024 was a record year: 111 permanently deed-restricted homes came online through public-private partnerships, housing 288 people across rental and ownership projects. Dorton cited three partnership projects — Black Creek Apartments (48 rental homes), Jackson Street Apartments (57 rental homes) and Forsyth Phase 1 (six ownership homes developed with Habitat for Humanity) — and said the projects served households across income bands under the local workforce and restricted-housing programs.

Dorton and several councilmembers and commissioners discussed the county’s long-term goal of housing 65% of its workforce locally and noted current estimates around 57%. Elected officials focused substantial discussion on housing preservation: staff recommended expanding preservation tools that buy or preserve existing homes under deed restriction and explore programs where a public housing entity could acquire, manage and later sell homes at below-market prices to local workers.

Councilman Schechter and multiple commissioners urged the town and county to re-evaluate long-term strategies, including unit mix (studios vs. larger units) and whether current incentives are achieving the community’s stated goals. Several elected officials praised the success of public-private partnerships and urged continued use of incentives, philanthropic support and employer involvement.

Councilwoman Speer moved to approve the FY26 housing supply plan; Councilman Schechter seconded. The town approved the plan unanimously. The county made the same motion and also approved the plan by voice vote.

Staff said the housing supply plan will be published online, translated to Spanish, and used to guide outreach, grant-seeking and policy discussions in the coming year. Staff also flagged preservation program options and requested direction to explore expanded preservation tools, potential revolving funds and partnerships with philanthropic and employer groups to scale preservation work.","The town and county approved a jointly presented FY26 housing supply plan after staff highlighted a record year of deed-restricted units and commissioners discussed preservation, preservation program expansion and the role of public-private partnerships.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6568716,"Joint long-range planning work plan draws debate; town approves, county continues review to June",3387,672000,4059000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3193973-191381029740eb4141d3e83a6ed43578&start=672&end=4059","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3193973-191381029740eb4141d3e83a6ed43578/thumbnail_672000.jpg","/articles/6568716/Wyoming/Joint-long-range-planning-work-plan-draws-debate-town-approves-county-continues-review-to-June","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568716-aaf1330fded498968b9146387d48c71d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159784&Signature=K~z-uJOAWgIz8O9BsrGSicHUXQ-BwoFqwy3-PN81pMJn6QX5d-oNy0C9MCeaqnI4qvspUh1UEbqxoqLrg67RavntX6DWShXUUH9zzo8iAKFwcQvG-RFjRPX4tlYKaPdb-jNzABCTw4Fl0nA2m~vFe0ctXPf9rdgOpTdllU3fqcoaBYGkeAeImpBoy63axHccuZSsvjBd-yYIPMIgfR3hVQzyeWY6TyGPMF44aybnJqbneuKrZMYCYSLYJvoz3kiHYgTnqKVkVtHdKyHoFl-hV5Dg~TDufY2MpaioUZEx446Ty4KsRooAKwmaEF1a7F4pEuMfZ1UUhlqMHSkY7pMMcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town and county planners presented a proposed fiscal year implementation work plan for joint long-range planning on May 5, 2025. The Jackson Town Council voted to approve the work plan as presented; the Teton County Commission voted to continue its consideration until a joint meeting in early June after commissioners requested more time to review recent updates and clarify staffing and scope.

Ryan Hostinger, joint principal long-range planner, told the joint meeting staff began an organized review of long-range tasks earlier in the year and described a slate of town and county projects for the coming year. Staff highlighted items completed last year, an updated indicator dashboard that is being used more widely, and upcoming projects including a town NRO update, water-quality-related LDR (land development regulation) updates for the county, and scoping for a future comprehensive plan update.

Council members and county commissioners asked detailed questions about project prioritization, staffing and hours, and the status of a separate consultant report on the Teton County Scenic Preserve Trust (referred to during the meeting as a GSBS project). Councilman Schechter pressed staff on how the single work plan relates to multiple departmental plans and asked how the public should interpret the plan’s scope and success metrics. Commissioners asked that the Scenic Preserve Trust follow-up be more clearly represented in the written materials and questioned how an expanded workload would be resourced.

The Town moved to adopt the FY26 implementation work plan dated April 2025 and approved it in a voice vote. At the County level, Commissioner Carmen moved to continue consideration of adoption until the governing bodies next meet in early June; the county motion carried 3–2 (Commissioners Gardner and Newcomb opposed).

County staff told the commission they had updated the materials after a recent county workshop and that some items appearing in the presentation had been added following that workshop; staff offered to circulate the revised slides. County and town staff said they plan to bring a timeline for reviewing multiple JPAs and LDR amendments and indicated they will present additional detail about staffing needs, project scoping and any recommendations tied to resources at the follow-up meeting.

Discussion versus decision: the town approved the work plan; the county continued consideration, creating a split outcome that will be resolved at the next joint meeting. Staff emphasized the plan’s role as a living document meant to reflect joint and jurisdiction-specific projects, and said work already underway (for example, Scenic Preserve Trust tasks) remains in the pipeline regardless of the county’s decision to defer formal adoption.

Votes at a glance: Town vote — approve FY26 implementation work plan (voice vote, passed). County vote — continue consideration until early June (3–2, continued).","Town planning staff presented a multi-year joint long-range planning work plan; Jackson Town Council voted to approve it, while the Teton County Commission voted to continue consideration until early June after members raised questions about new material and staffing.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6568720,"Town, County approve one-year extension of Fire/EMS joint powers agreement while strategic review continues",350,282000,632000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3193973-191381029740eb4141d3e83a6ed43578&start=282&end=632","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3193973-191381029740eb4141d3e83a6ed43578/thumbnail_282000.jpg","/articles/6568720/Wyoming/Town-County-approve-one-year-extension-of-FireEMS-joint-powers-agreement-while-strategic-review-continues","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568720-a6506fcb3d0b82ba64e23b6487b45cd7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159784&Signature=TsuSePlDrQhDvO1egjO7r8m7omdTIkmfSYtkUrzo9Ih3CexFIefRfKDCWzlvYCeMKNZBkua2hdOvfZs6qpvBLKoS7~Gjp1pxpfbma3yOOuM5DuCdtVOYt6vn5j1svyYR9Ri5HlPeOMr8N7e7s6D8cRi8yNkGP8q0t5zXkt07n0WpDQaBdvSqTqSImQh4DLagwTGy1HT1Y6QbydsEL753DAPcPSR7iBTpEVovp1JtXi-53IFBf4TOTiXgkh5m6Hwl-73ILmEVdf17XxaQFBMzRcSome6r0Wo7cy1FAEAs799WRiKWKk393U4-1hPsXWJ6dgYKFxd6aTiZyuFlRHX1Rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson Town Council and the Teton County Commission approved a one-year extension of the joint powers agreement (JPA) covering fire and emergency medical services on May 5, 2025, while staff and a consultant continue a broader review of the region’s intergovernmental arrangements.

Officials said the extension is a temporary measure to avoid letting the current agreement expire while the county and town complete a strategic planning review of Fire/EMS services. The extension must be submitted to the attorney general’s office for final processing.

Ryan Hostinger, joint principal long-range planner, explained that staff began a coordinated review of JPAs and MOUs in January and that Fire/EMS required extra time because the existing agreement is set to expire in August. Staff said they are working with ESCI, the consultant conducting the Fire/EMS strategic planning process, and expect an outline/report in late spring or early summer to guide subsequent negotiations and a more comprehensive replacement agreement.

Councilman Schechter moved to approve the extension “subject to minor change by staff,” and Councilwoman Feaman seconded the motion; the Town approved it unanimously. The County commissioners subsequently took the same action and approved the one-year extension unanimously.

Town and county officials said the one-year extension is intended to preserve continuity of emergency services while staff returns with a timeline and recommendations for negotiating replacements or longer-term JPAs for several intergovernmental partnerships.

The decision does not adopt a new long-term agreement; it extends the current JPA for one year and directs staff to pursue the consultant-led review’s recommendations. County and town staff said they will bring back a schedule for reviewing other JPAs, including parks and recreation, following completion of the Fire/EMS strategic review.

Town and county meeting records show staff will coordinate next steps and that the extension will be forwarded to the attorney general’s office for review and filing.
