Mark Siegel, describing himself as a duly elected Spring Creek ISD board member, told the board he and neighbors had sent correspondence alleging repeated election irregularities and potential financial mismanagement over several years. Siegel said the district has not followed statutory requirements for competitive bidding on contracts he named, including a snow-plowing contract he said was worth about $265,000, and that he believes state auditors are now engaged to review some aspects of the ISD.

\"It is a fact that the board has not met with the principal act requirements of ISDs,\" Siegel said, alleging contracts have not been competitively bid and recounting a pattern of special meetings in which board vacancies were filled without public comment.

Paul Pascatello, a Spring Creek homeowner and HOA member, said the two core concerns are unbid contracts and vacancies on the ISD board that Pascatello said should be filled by the county rather than by remaining ISD board members. Both speakers urged the county to intervene.

Chair said the comments were serious and that the county would look into the matter; the board did not take immediate action but said staff would follow up and the item could be scheduled as a known matter for discussion at a future meeting.

The speakers requested assistance and said they had received little response to prior correspondence; the board asked them to provide written materials and said it would investigate and determine next steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Teton County - Regular Mtg - Jul 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Two Spring Creek residents told commissioners they suspect longstanding election irregularities and unbid contracts at Spring Creek Improvement and Special District (ISD); the board said it will look into the claims and consider adding the matter for discussion.","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},6550168,"Commissioners discuss competing proposals to rename Mount Woodring; take public comment next week",337,1405000,1742000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398946-170cd5ced182e4cedcfadc47f7bb4f2b&start=1405&end=1742","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398946-170cd5ced182e4cedcfadc47f7bb4f2b/thumbnail_1405000.jpg","/articles/6550168/Teton-County/Wyoming/Commissioners-discuss-competing-proposals-to-rename-Mount-Woodring-take-public-comment-next-week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550168-d20fe87c8cf17f2e9b2be44ad11a01e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770912011&Signature=S16TllSZMTPreIvw~TmHxMBk6zqHxyET6APK0d57-NpBx5nFXTev--kQpkZtIDpBjdePrslTeypMpKLZ6jESoyhlwuPPin79FFMeVFX~ECdhllJL7ellK11fq8QPbIbN-e4oZZzeyjP2-B2CdTfPebMM5ywJ5UMlAyIfd-V13ojfgdSa4VcvBdydveKlWOnUuBmRqaEt2iN7St~dvYaEk9VtFYsUKy9Aa8SAmwLRMtqnyH0gTWMy5QhQvY9htM7OVanBZn0cMrNyyyL~dQOU-ZTlO3786CFFMDOh199X4RoEuMp7p-qIkpRAEonN2~uXdiE2qvPtTBCuO8DKrJxW3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Teton County Board discussed three competing applications to rename Mount Woodring in Grand Teton National Park during its July 15 meeting and agreed to take up the matter again next week with public comment.

Chair (presiding commissioner) said the U.S. National Park superintendent, Chip Jenkins, alerted the board to three separate applications to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to rename the peak Raven Peak, Liberty Peak or Equality Peak. The board noted the county’s earlier correspondence had supported renaming the peak but had not strongly endorsed a single alternative name.

Commissioners discussed cultural context and local historian input indicating the county’s recommendation carries weight with the federal naming board. Commissioner Gardner said Raven was proposed in part because of the bird’s significance in many Native American cultures. Another commissioner expressed discomfort with names invoking political concepts and said they had seen no argument for changing Raven to Equality or Liberty without more information.

Commissioner Gardner asked staff to circulate the superintendent’s email and the three applications to the board members; the board agreed to place the item on next Monday’s agenda as a known matter and to accept public comment then. Chair said staff would confirm the U.S. Board on Geographic Names schedule and report back to the board.

No formal vote or recommendation was made at the July 15 meeting.","The board reviewed three proposals to rename Mount Woodring — Raven Peak, Liberty Peak and Equality Peak — and agreed to circulate materials and hold the matter as a known topic with public comment at next week’s meeting.",{"_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},6550173,"Board approves consent agenda including public-health and collection agreements",133,107000,240000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398946-170cd5ced182e4cedcfadc47f7bb4f2b&start=107&end=240","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398946-170cd5ced182e4cedcfadc47f7bb4f2b/thumbnail_107000.jpg","/articles/6550173/Teton-County/Wyoming/Board-approves-consent-agenda-including-public-health-and-collection-agreements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550173-11b243354fc396dc1f5b2f05f34e4477/orig.mp4?Expires=1770912011&Signature=Kj1hu2P-fqBGAZQ38OCmfusHQCDxjT~XFiffB2V2Nu0uHry-lcrn5QzFqsCeRNxvAnKmmSES3wolYy7quTVdHjuMC7rPKHZoXF1Vw-k-oSOv0AR8cixc32~Z~DWPbTwY4aWdrarrn-OBqcn9rr46tG9XevIE8VjqEzzQiDYxu1rYLlNwXfDNFUUW89WkJ6uhu3h6IYwR3zD55vPIxlmcwI6yMRRh26JkIrmevd4u85g~rG6H9JtsK4auyZsXR3fEAWUNvM-Tlr9QLV6eKhfGnPnW8xWajjvoatBjHrXY1Pn6hcrd47NbLfbipCXYAf7ypcBqyGYz7NCxfUd88YX2Bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Teton County Board of County Commissioners approved the consent agenda unanimously July 15, advancing a package of staff-recommended contracts, grant agreements and administrative matters.

Senior Planner Chandler Windham told the board the 3.26-acre site is in the planned resort zone and reviewed prior approvals: sketch plan, development plan and building permits. The final plat lays out 30 condominium units — 25 market-rate short-term rental units and five deed-restricted workforce housing units — plus common areas, parking and storage.

Windham said the project complies with applicable provisions of the Teton County Land Development Regulations, including Sections 8.5.2 and 8.5.3 and subdivision standards in division 7.2. He said utilities and subdivision improvements are in place and that the technical review committee — including the county surveyor and county clerk — had cleared comments.

The planning director recommended approval with one condition: the deed restrictions for the five on-site affordable/workforce units must be recorded in the Teton County Clerk’s records by the applicant concurrent with recording of the final plat. Windham and the housing department are still finalizing covenant language and CCRs for review; the plat will not be recorded until deed restrictions are ready.

George Putnam of CERC Consulting and Rob Delaurier, the owner’s representative, were present. Commissioners discussed homeowner association assessment methods for deed-restricted units and noted the housing department is working with the applicant to avoid previous problems seen in other mixed market/restricted developments.

Motion to approve SD20250002 with the stated condition was made and seconded; the board approved the motion unanimously.","The board approved final plat SD20250002 for the Hoback Club in Teton Village, allowing 30 condominium units (25 market-rate short-term rental units and five deed-restricted workforce units) with a condition that deed restrictions be recorded concurrently with the plat.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6550184,"Teton County adopts updated engineering permit fees effective July 21, 2025",339,271000,610000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398946-170cd5ced182e4cedcfadc47f7bb4f2b&start=271&end=610","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398946-170cd5ced182e4cedcfadc47f7bb4f2b/thumbnail_271000.jpg","/articles/6550184/Teton-County/Wyoming/Teton-County-adopts-updated-engineering-permit-fees-effective-July-21-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550184-54d6b656bcf969490e27e5ab508cb400/orig.mp4?Expires=1770912011&Signature=M3mHWOZa34qeu4jCZk9dNwNhO1ZAf2eb-4cw1xsI9VE1e1Bd2uhX7z1rp9Gw-VQJc-pWK7VcUk6Xull-XePU4rra~DfiR6KhfNPKn2D9NtoazvVCza3WJvNkm2H5r-052TMSh~e3mgv4E~G9v-Vziex4JpzIkA0bCnp3f15cNOVhd9jXkOOagDjAE-7C-A9lSAGg5txHbS5dOPqnHfGf3Maf6makkFJ0lII-7DbZaTf5VJg5dzJLPpjCG0dOoszHnUMsGge~g3SxFskzmBcUZyzNpkyZj7gxgiNHiYPwHxuV4WlaEMwq~1R7QjJopSyeB07FXvBn-UUv4pHAO1kl0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Teton County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously July 15 to adopt revised engineering permit fees for fiscal year 2026, which the county said would take effect July 21.

County Public Works Director Heather Overholser told the board the update covers permits including small wastewater facility permits, grading and erosion-control, bridge, right-of-way, driveway access and floodplain permits. Overholser said the county has not increased these fees since July 2020 and cited higher operating costs and recent adoption of permitting software as reasons for the change.

\"These have not been increased since July of 2020,\" Overholser said, adding the county began using a permitting software for septic permits in fiscal year 2025 and sometimes uses consultants when permit volume or conflicts require outside help.

A staff chart included with the report compared current and proposed fees, and the county held a 45-day public comment period that began May 14. Overholser said the new fee schedule is intended to reflect the county’s cost of doing business while permitting staff work to reduce application friction where possible.

Commissioner Probst raised a question about whether higher septic permit fees might deter residents from addressing failing systems. Overholser said the county does not have evidence that permit fees themselves cause residents to delay repairs and said the cost of the system, not the permit, is typically the primary barrier. She added the Water Quality Advisory Board is discussing programs to incentivize remediation of failing systems and that the county’s engineering staff will update small-wastewater facility permit requirements.

Commissioner Gardner noted that permitting costs are usually a small portion of total project cost, while Commissioner MacKer emphasized timeline implications when permit queues lengthen. No public comment was recorded on the item.

Motion to adopt the fee schedule was made by Commissioner Probst, seconded by Commissioner Gardner, and carried unanimously.","The Teton County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt revised engineering permit fees for fiscal year 2026, citing increased administrative costs and new permitting software; fees had not been updated since July 2020.","actionData","errors"]
