The Teton County Internal Sustainability Strategy outlines a roadmap for the County government to achieve national leadership in sustainable operations. It aims to minimize resource use, foster interdepartmental collaboration, and ensure a healthy, resilient environment for employees and residents. The strategy is structured around three key sectors: Climate & Energy, focusing on reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; Procurement & Waste, targeting waste reduction and sustainable purchasing practices; and Water, Air Quality & Ecosystem Health, dedicated to safeguarding natural resources and public health. This comprehensive plan is designed to balance economic, environmental, and social considerations for long-term community well-being.

The meeting includes action items regarding the payment of county vouchers, a consent agenda for administrative items, consideration of outgoing commissioner correspondence, and an emergency declaration for a water main project. Discussion items involve updates on Wember, the Munger Sewer Line, and a town proposal for future joint efforts, as well as a calendar review. The board will also enter into an executive session to discuss real estate matters.

The agenda focuses on several key items including the affirmation of the Health Department fee schedule for FY 2027, review of a state contract for the Treatment Court, and a sole source agreement for the Sustainable Business Leaders Program. Additionally, the commissioners will discuss funding for the BUILD grant, Teton County Fair entertainment and advertising, and various solar infrastructure projects at the Stilson Transit Center. Planning and development matters include a Planned Unit Development amendment for the Teton Village Resort expansion and a variance request for small wastewater facility standards.

The meeting focuses on the finalization of joint budgets and the review of the START Van Pool contract. Additionally, the agenda includes provisions for an executive session to discuss real estate acquisition and safety and security planning.

The board meeting agenda includes the consideration of payment for county vouchers and a consent agenda covering items such as 24-hour liquor permits, SLIB drawdowns, tax corrections, and human service or community development contracts. Additionally, the commissioners will review outgoing correspondence, consider a contract and notice of award for the Wilson Active Transportation Plan, and discuss a research agreement with the University of Wyoming.
