The county's $58 million budget, set to increase about 31% or $14 million from the last pre-pandemic spending plan, is moving towards approval with little public comment. The Teton County Board of County Commissioners received no public comment at Monday's budget hearing, which was the last opportunity for the public to comment in-person on the budget for the fiscal year set to start July 1. In the last correspondence report, published June 15, a handful of people wrote to the County Commission, expressing support for hiring a full-time employee focused on water quality. The commission, with a 3-2 majority, is looking to hire a project manager in the Teton County Public Works department that will oversee a water quality planning effort with a consultant, an effort that advocates on the board say could produce results â i.e. a hired worker, and, consequently, a plan â faster.
