Three commissioners were present at the Teton County meeting on July 21, 2025, allowing the session to proceed despite the absence of Commissioner Macker. A last-minute addition to the agenda included five 24-hour off-premise winery permits submitted by Jackson Hole Winery for wine tastings at Astoria Hot Springs.

The meeting kicked off with a motion to adopt the agenda, which passed unanimously. The commissioners then moved on to action items, approving a county voucher run totaling $755,564.36. Commissioner Prowse raised a question regarding excess water fees paid by Parks and Recreation to the Fish Creek Improvement Service District, seeking clarification on whether this was a routine expense. Jody Pond committed to investigating this matter further.

In a significant decision, the commissioners unanimously approved the five winery permits, valid for specific dates in late July and early August. Commissioner Prope highlighted ongoing discussions about establishing a permanent satellite winery at Astoria, noting potential compliance issues with the resort master plan. The commissioners are working to align the visions of involved parties to ensure future plans meet regulatory standards.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to further explore the winery's long-term plans, signaling ongoing developments in Teton County's local business landscape.
