Commissioners approve county vouchers and honor service award recipients

The Teton County government meeting held on July 14, 2025, focused on several key topics, including the approval of county vouchers and recognition of public service through awards.

During the meeting, the commissioners approved two significant county voucher runs totaling over $2.2 million. The first voucher run amounted to $1,844,625.04, while the second was for $425,814.01. Additionally, an inter-fund transfer of $1,568,097.06 was also approved. Notably, part of the second voucher was allocated for upcoming fair contracts, with the fair set to begin on July 19.

The meeting also included a calendar review, highlighting upcoming events such as regular voucher meetings and service awards. The commissioners discussed the schedule for future meetings, including updates on the Stilson transit center construction and potential board of equalization hearings.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to honoring county employees with service awards. Commissioner Natalia Macker presented a 10-year service award to Dr. Brent Blue, the county coroner, recognizing his contributions to improving the coroner's office facilities and services. Dr. Blue's efforts have brought the office to a standard comparable to other counties in Wyoming, and he is currently working on plans for a new morgue facility to accommodate future needs.

The meeting concluded with a call for community engagement and appreciation for the essential services provided by county employees, emphasizing their role in maintaining order and public welfare in Teton County.
