Commissioner Natalia Macker and department leaders presented multiple tenure awards. Macker recognized Dr. Brent Blue, the county coroner, for 10 years of service and described Blue's work upgrading the coroner facility and ongoing planning for a purpose-built morgue. Macker also acknowledged Chair Mark Newcomb for a decade of service on the county commission since 2015.

Department directors and elected officials read citations for recipients across county divisions: Jackson Hole Fire/EMS recognized Chief Mike Moyer (20 years) and multiple career and volunteer milestone recipients; the Affordable Housing Department honored Christy Malone (10 years) and Stacy Stoker (20 years); the County Attorney's Office recognized Brian Holtman for long service; the Library presented 25-year recognitions and other milestones; Public Works and Road and Levee presenters noted engineering and construction staff tenures and praised project management performance.

The county also presented value-based awards selected via nominations and a selection process involving directors and elected officials. Value-award recipients named in remarks included:

- Accountability: Chelsea Peters, Public Health (program coordinator)
- Collaboration: Eva Dahlgren, Alta Branch library manager
- Positivity: Andre Sneland, Deputy County Clerk
- Excellence: Chandler Windham, Senior Planner
- Innovation: Logan Edgemond, Recreation Supervisor
- Service: Dan Bierman, Parks Manager

Presenters emphasized the community impact of long-serving staff and volunteers, including day-to-day services that keep public facilities operating, emergency response staffing, library outreach and parks maintenance. Several presenters noted volunteers who contribute hundreds of hours annually to emergency response and search-and-rescue operations.

Why it matters: the awards highlight institutional continuity and recognize staff whose sustained work supports public safety, infrastructure, libraries, housing, and parks. County leaders used the ceremony to underscore public-service values and interdepartmental collaboration.

The ceremony included photo opportunities and concluded with the board returning to regular business and adjourning later in the morning.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Teton County - Voucher Mtg - Jul 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At a July 14 meeting, Teton County recognized employees and volunteers with tenure awards (five to 25 years) and value awards across categories including accountability, collaboration, positivity, excellence, innovation and service.","taxTitle","Teton County, Wyoming","taxId",63785,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6518822,"Teton County introduces Mark Irwin as new general services director",50,70000,120000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5385632-c7940bfa224aca5943403f53da62908c&start=70&end=120","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5385632-c7940bfa224aca5943403f53da62908c/thumbnail_70000.jpg","/articles/6518822/Teton-County/Wyoming/Teton-County-introduces-Mark-Irwin-as-new-general-services-director","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6518822-5011945fc60b55225427e8ca74c452fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770557501&Signature=KA62WF8eMtzUQ1Cxt625spohfuNHxVySMwtFf7q4HmliaF9GVrSpNJTZq6kk4LW-SCYh3UThfo2KSD2Ux1N9j~3AuQQ3~zV5ie1tSgj4F3zhILA-ENK0Sr5q22g0mqxjWcLAh5O8YufbQ8s25NH5O8793BNwz5QXDTQvjmwiW-AqCKTol5sT4pOa8w-pGGC5xbT37ic4KwpPNtEbCQh2Emie-GVtC~sMoA-H1naxKYpxkT~QXRK~QrRkl65mzj53I5YzguUpBor7UPR0I8HMDQAGLRZY~4QXyfPfrCi0ezq7cI~k1i3KEjx1xiUBsSWySAfe11mhOvK0QKmDjJmTSA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Teton County Administrator Jody Pond introduced Mark Irwin as the county's new general services director at the July 14 voucher meeting, saying Irwin brings more than 20 years of experience in government operations, communications and large-scale capital improvement projects.

\"I'm pleased to announce that Mark Irwin is here today as his first day as our new general services director,\" Pond said. Pond said Irwin is a veteran of the United States Army and noted his experience in both the private and public sectors.

Irwin addressed the commissioners and staff after the introduction: \"I think I met with most of you during the interview process and I'm very humbled to be selected and I'm looking forward to doing great things with this team,\" he said.

Why it matters: the general services director oversees county facilities and capital projects; incoming leadership signals continuity for ongoing projects mentioned elsewhere on the county calendar. Commissioners and staff welcomed Irwin and encouraged him in forthcoming responsibilities, including facilities and the county's planned capital work.

No formal action was required to introduce a new hire; the board used the public portion of the voucher meeting to announce the appointment and to welcome Irwin.

Chair Mark Newcomb and other county officials spoke briefly during the introduction and then moved on to other agenda items and the day's service awards.","Teton County Administrator Jody Pond and commissioners introduced Mark Irwin on July 14 as the county's new general services director; Irwin said he is \"humbled\" and looks forward to working with the team.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6518827,"Teton County commissioners approve $1.84 million voucher run, additional transfers",24,148000,172000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5385632-c7940bfa224aca5943403f53da62908c&start=148&end=172","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5385632-c7940bfa224aca5943403f53da62908c/thumbnail_148000.jpg","/articles/6518827/Teton-County/Wyoming/Teton-County-commissioners-approve-184-million-voucher-run-additional-transfers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6518827-81de083b945513b0dd2cd104384c81ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1770557501&Signature=Reu2mlySMangmgw8cbxbBG~xg69ur~jGwIZrQIU2AKqEuwrbTBvD7fHA5BtB54ioDsLOLnftKcoJn7qaHtAs-gO~~TaqGfQLEAejHXQsyvQyCUDmfwLK0jLXe9tclGPhxhIQ8ltTWLule7ivR48xeMoNsA9lJRIoXXhT4yIcdRbnJZSHEoo0WMZa9J8OFgoifW5bBqsM6slf3baYkIRfjHBx1Yc9NhZZhJEuUEnr9RBNYrslZH4eRaX7soqyx22JO1nS7mDb9DOl54sUaFiVos0c2sdjgagb9VJ~65tdzlO7h2rQZ4yPQ0EFFc5A7mUwfySwrT-g80jRN3cZqQ2nMQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Teton County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously July 14 to approve county payments and an internal transfer totaling more than $3.8 million.

The board approved a county voucher run of $1,844,625.04, a second voucher run of $425,814.01 and an inner-fund transfer of $1,568,097.06 after a motion on the consent agenda. Chair Mark Newcomb opened the voucher item and asked for a motion; commissioners approved the motions without further public comment.

Why it matters: the payments cover regular county operations and, according to commissioners, upcoming fair contracts and related expenses. Commissioner Probst noted the second voucher run was for fair contracts scheduled to begin later in the month.

The meeting began with the board adopting the day's agenda by unanimous vote and briefly taking public comment before moving to the vouchers. Administrator Jody Pond introduced the voucher item and asked whether there was public comment; none was offered specific to the payments.

Chair Newcomb called for the vote, and the board approved the motions unanimously. No roll-call vote with individual yes/no names was recorded in the meeting transcript; commissioners confirmed the motion by voice vote.

The board also pulled item 11 from the following day's consent agenda for separate consideration, and commissioners reviewed upcoming calendar items including meetings in late July and August. Following the voucher approvals and the day's other business the board recessed for service awards and later reconvened.","At a July 14, 2025 voucher meeting, the Teton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved three payment items: a county voucher run of $1,844,625.04, a second voucher run of $425,814.01 (noted as fair-related), and an inner-fund transfer of $1,568,097.06.","actionData","errors"]
