Schenkel told commissioners that Greenwood Mapping’s platform included assessor-specific tools — notably a PIDN (parcel identification number) generator and an assessor’s toolbox used to establish evaluation-area boundaries and track sale locations — that she believes cannot be fully recreated in the Esri product. “The PIDN generator, and the assessor's toolbox cannot be recreated, in the Esri product,” Schenkel said in explaining why she requested consideration of Terra GIS and an associated engineering/data-production team for parcel updates.

She described operational impacts: plat maps recorded earlier in the year still were not visible in the county GIS and staff were tracking PIDNs manually in spreadsheets. Schenkel said Terra GIS partners with an engineering firm (Heinz Surveying, referenced in the discussion) that would handle data production and mapping; she argued this combination would restore workflow and daily data updating for the public.

Commissioners asked procurement and cost questions. One commissioner summarized the proposal as putting a price tag at about $68,000 per year plus a one‑time fee and hourly charges for enhancements; Schenkel confirmed budgetary pressures and noted the county has other GIS-related expenditures this year (the Department of Revenue RealWear upgrade and related conversion costs). Commissioners asked staff and the clerk to evaluate procurement approaches, including sole-source justification, and suggested returning the item as an action item on a forthcoming agenda so elected officers and the public can review details.

No contract was approved Oct. 6. Commissioners directed staff to pursue a procurement path, provide a succinct summary of what is requested and return with a proposed scope and procurement justification for public consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Voucher Mtg","oneSentenceSummary","Assessor Melissa Schenkel told commissioners the county's migration from Greenwood Mapping to Esri left gaps in assessor-specific tools (PIDN generator, assessor toolbox).

Commissioner Karlman told the board he supported moving ahead with a legislative transfer and said parcels 23 and 24 could not be effectively transferred under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act without congressional action because the transfer would require changing boundary lines and swapping private land between subparcels. “The Recreation and Public Purposes Act doesn't let us change boundary lines,” Karlman said, arguing this limitation is a motive for a legislative approach.

The chair and other commissioners discussed process questions and stakeholder materials. Chair Newcomb said the county attorney received notice from local attorney Stefan Fodor that his client, 4 W LLC, advised it would no longer participate in consideration of Parcel 910. Newcomb proposed circulating both 4 W’s original proposal and the board’s alternate draft for public review and suggested allowing a week for stakeholder submissions; several commissioners said that timeline was too tight and asked for two weeks.

Commissioners debated the appropriate public‑engagement timeline, staff responsibilities and whether to hire an outside consultant. Commissioner MacKer and others urged a clearer, consolidated staff package that lays out the timeline, decision points and outstanding questions. Commissioner Gardner, among others, recommended delaying final board action until Oct. 20 so the public and commissioners can review compiled documents and submit written comments.

The board agreed to ask staff to compile existing MOUs and proposed drafts (including 4 W’s original proposal and commissioner-drafted alternatives), information about the Highway 22 right of way under WYDOT’s corridor screening (existing right of way and scenarios with +20 and +40 feet), and possible legislative-package formats. Chair Newcomb said staff will attempt to circulate material so that stakeholders have time to comment before the next meeting on Oct. 20, 2025. No formal vote was taken; the board did not adopt a final policy at the meeting.","Board members discussed a proposed congressional transfer of BLM parcels along the Snake River, including Parcel 910 and parcels 23 and 24.

Project manager Jason Birning of Birning Project Management, partnering with Wimber, told the board the design development phase is complete and the team has incorporated demolition of the Clifford Hansen courthouse and related sewer work into the development plan submitted to the Town of Jackson. “We have submitted a demolition permit, for both buildings, the main, existing courthouse and the Clifford Hansen courthouse, in preparation for a start of demolition in February,” Birning said.

The design review process with the town is set to begin the week of the report, with planning and zoning and town council reviews expected in November and December. Construction drawings will continue through December; the team aims to submit the building permit in January and present a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract in January for a February construction start.

Tom Ferens of Wimber said subcontract early onboarding and updated cost estimates put the project within roughly 1.5% of the construction budget. “We are basically within about 1 and a half percent of our construction budget,” Ferens said, noting contingencies and alternates remain. The third courtroom is a major alternate; its cost is included in the current estimate and could be removed to reduce scope and cost.

Birning and Ferens described a sequence of permits and temporary site logistics: grading and shoring permits to enable February work, temporary modular offices to be moved to the fairgrounds for site grading, and a mid-November target for a building permit on the modulars so the contractor can begin work. DPR Construction has submitted early bid packages and will prepare the GMP for the board in January.

The project team also reported a shift in the anticipated need for gap financing. After re-evaluating cash flow assumptions, they said the county can postpone seeking gap financing by roughly six months; the county now expects to need gap financing in 2028 rather than late 2027. Ferens said the team will continue monthly cash-flow reviews with the treasurer and clerk.

No formal actions were taken on the Justice Center at the Oct. 6 meeting. Commissioners asked follow-up questions about demolition timing, use of town facilities for municipal court while work proceeds, and whether courtroom furnishings purchased for modular use could be repurposed in the finished facility.

The project team said they will return with construction contracts and the GMP in the coming months for board approval.","Contractors and project managers told commissioners the Justice Center design is nearly complete, demolition is scheduled for February and the project remains close to budget, with alternates and gap financing still to be finalized.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6427443,"Votes at a glance: Oct. 6 Teton County Commissioner meeting — agenda, vouchers, consent agenda and executive-session directions approved",82,12000,94000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5897088-80f5fcec250bdcaf2296787fba0f7660&start=12&end=94","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5897088-80f5fcec250bdcaf2296787fba0f7660/thumbnail_12000.jpg","/articles/6427443/Teton-County/Wyoming/Votes-at-a-glance-Oct-6-Teton-County-Commissioner-meeting-agenda-vouchers-consent-agenda-and-executive-session-directions-approved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427443-5419496e7b33c83be387ce749cae1c64/orig.mp4?Expires=1770412670&Signature=Kxi5g4dAwnAn66Vrdb6LHHfNRrGU~AkAjhLeYwhZ3W0~NbFt~LrTfb84JSK0sa-QeQwpbN4ycH~Caeuvuur1FNdMLPqW-pnsvTtDGBG8wd0ZLK9ZMLfDDhL20Yo~BGfH4etcydCvNW42v947ZvMi-BDBmWQU8DNrlJmAtr2Lw3cINoAL8Gi44xBDv1dtg~OI6jZpVF64MNTGgIiJ561RyoaON9cyNqznCeVQEN7XHIwUrArgrTKKPLv0EDLZGNNfFoO7aemoLo5kAQbh5EGzcpOZPqCo-AlE5UZkDcEpGLvuSiH1bxetxdJQ1iAERgBDyWHIOmKvDk1sfxOZDkzlqg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Teton County Board of Commissioners took a series of unanimous procedural and substantive votes at its Oct. 6, 2025 voucher meeting.
