Email Content: Since I cannot find an email address to address the town council like I can the county commissioners, I will copy and paste. Thank you.

Dear April,

Thanks for your email, and I am sorry all of y’all got sick. I hope everyone has fully covered.

This program does not serve the community. It does not help the community for a 30-year-old person to get a FREE $200,000 down payment, then hold the house for the next 50 years, then leave it to their kids for the next 50 years, and by the way those kids only need to have “75% of their income earned in Teton County”, in other words, they don’t have to actually work full time. One person in the house could work one day a week and still qualify. Correct? All in exchange for a deed restriction and appreciation cap.

Another question.....

The guy featured in the paper who lived in Alpine with his wife and two kids and had too much student debt to buy in Teton County until the tax payer fairy came along....why is that the Teton County tax payers’ problem? What if he had gone to a community college for the first two years to lessen his debt AS COUNTLESS TETON COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE DONE? Or more directly, his personal choices are no business of the taxpayer because we should not be involved in any way with his personal family checkbook and their buying decisions. But now those who tried to make smart choices are carrying the burden for others! And are we really passing out FREE money so people don’t have to commute from Alpine, despite the fact that many other people still have to commute from Alpine? What made that guy so special? And is his old house now sitting empty? Or let me guess, somebody else moved into his old house and now THEY are commuting to Jackson unless they are lucky enough to get $200,000 from the taxpayers.

How does this help anyone IN NEED? If you make $200,000+ per year, which you will need to do in order to qualify for a house that a $200,000 down payment will cover at 20% per the terms of this unbelievable program, you are not in need. Do you think that if you purchase homes for people who want free money here in Teton County, people will stop coming? In your opinion, will Teton County fill up? Or is this just driving the desire for more people to come?

What if someone doesn’t have a down payment because they were on vacation for three months out of the year last year? Or what if they chose to buy a big expensive boat and park it on Jackson Lake and then get out of town in the off-season with a big expensive RV? How technical are y’all getting in peoples personal finances and there purchasing decisions?

What happens when, AFTER someone receives $200,000 in free taxpayer money, they then go buy an off-season or winter home in Florida or Hawaii, with all the money they saved thanks to the Teton County taxpayers? How will you monitor that?

I’ve noticed that if someone has a home within 150 miles of Teton County, they need to sell that home if they are selected for the program. Why wouldn’t they use the money they made on the other home for their down payment?

Do you not consider it senior abuse to give $200,000 to someone who is a retired homeowner, but seems to be out of cash, in exchange for permanently deed restricting their home? This would be highway robbery for the recipient, because, as you stated, houses seem to be appreciating something like 20% in Teton County over the past few years, correct? Maybe this is why you’ve not had any applicants.

I look forward to your responses.

Hi Arne,

Thank you so much for your willingness to support this effort. I'm attaching a drafted letter of support which would be fabulous if you could fill in contact info at the bottom, sign, and place on your letterhead. Please feel free to personalize as you see fit and let me know if you see any concerns!

I think the letter provides a bit of context as well but for your knowledge this grant is one step towards creating a new public park for the community at Astoria. This funding will give us the opportunity to partner with our featured artist, Katie Shepherd Christiansen who will partner with community members along with the public school district and Teton Conservation District to create a community vision for this space represented through interpretive signage. Mayor Sara Flitner signed a similar letter of support in 2016 to support the call for artists that actually led us to Katie, which is why I mention working with us again. Please do let me know if you have any questions. I'd also be happy to hop on a call to go over this.

All the best, Dory Sumner Astoria Park Conservancy

We plan to work with Teton County schoolchildren, Teton Conservation District, our featured artist Katie Shepherd Christiansen, and other partners to create bi-lingual content focused on the flora and fauna found onsite.

For this application, we need to provide a letter of support from the Mayor- but I know Hailey is on her maternity leave right now. Can you help with this?

We can draft a letter for you to format on your letterhead and sign for her if this sounds like a project your office would like to express support for if that's possible? Can you help?

Email Content: Dear Keith and Lea, My name is Rebecca Bextel and I am a Jackson resident of nearly 15 years. I, along with many others, have been horrified at the FREE $200,000 down payment handouts given out by the housing authority. I would like to formally request another public comment period on this subject as it was not added to the agenda for the July 12th meeting in time for many residents to take note of it. Also, the link on the housing authority survey to tell of the July 12th meeting was broken until I pointed it out to the housing authority on July 16th (four days after the meeting). Lastly, the "Update on the Housing Program" given by April Norton per the agenda was misleading. She only stated two items based on the results of a survey indicating that a certain amount of respondents felt the need to increase the amount of assistance, and that a certain amount of the respondents felt that this program should be advertised more. After looking at the actual survey results, it seems there was much more to report, including comments expressly AGAINST this program. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Dear members of the Town Council & County Commissioners:

I am writing this letter in support of allowing recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to apply for affordable home ownership in Teton County, Wyoming.

I was 14 years old when I arrived in Jackson, Wyoming in the summer of 2000 and have since lived in the area. I graduated from our local High School in 2003 and I then attended the University of Wyoming where I also graduated with a B.S. in Political Science in 2007. Although I was fortunate to attend college before the DACA program was created, my desire to attend the College of Law at UW after graduation came to a halt due to the legal complexities of my status without DACA at the time. For people who may have this idea that immigrating to this country or simply trying to “get legal” is a viable process; the reality is rather grim.

I returned to Jackson after graduating college and once DACA was created I was able to put my skills to work. I worked for the Town of Jackson for over six years. I also became a mother in 2019 right before our entire community, country, and the world found themselves dealing with an unimaginable pandemic. Needless to say as a new mother I faced new challenges and difficulties in the midst of a pandemic. I left my job with the town in the fall of 2020 and I now work part- time in town. This has been a good alternative as I am able to take care of my child without the stress of not being able to find adequate and affordable child care.

However, as all of us working people struggle to find affordable housing I wonder how much longer I can remain in this area and raise my child. I consider Jackson my home and my son was born here, so this is home for us. Affordable home ownership is a dream that many working people aspire to, this includes my family. There are many rights and responsibilities as a DACA recipient; I have been given the right to live and work in this country, although this program is uncertain and it will remain uncertain until and if it is settled in the Courts and/or Congress. There are also costly payments associated with being a DACA recipient as well as background checks and biometrics taken before a two-year period expires. This is not a “free-ride” program, yet it is a fair program. Allowing applications for affordable home ownership for tax-paying DACA recipients is not infringing on other qualifying applicants’ opportunity to own an affordable home, it is a fair and just decision and I ask you to respectfully change the rules to allow for a path for home ownership. I am hopeful that we can keep and maintain a rich and diverse group of community members; I would very much dislike to see this community become an exclusive community. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Nataly Espinoza From: Kari Cooper To: Hailey Morton Levinson Subject: Fwd: Announcement - Vice President, Guest Experience Date: Thursday, July 22, 2021 1:35:55 PM

Hi Mayor Hailey:

Yet another reason to support a female candidate to the JHTTB seat. I am a strong ‘Julie Calder’ advocate for the JHTTB seat. Her new role in leadership reinforces the core value of Guest Experience (please see the note below). This position is all about managing capacity and broadening the peaks/valley (lock step with the community conversation).

Julie could be such an incredible asset to the Board/Town/County if given the opportunity. Thanks for considering.

Cheers, Kari

From: Mary Kate Buckley Date: Thursday, July 22, 2021 at 12:49 PM To: List-AllEmployees Subject: Announcement - Vice President, Guest Experience

Team,

One of JHMR’s four strategic priorities is to Elevate the Guest Experience: Get to know them, make it easy, give them what they want.

While we have made some progress against this initiative, we are looking at new and transformative ways to accelerate our efforts across the organization. Essential to this strategy is the creation of a new position on the Senior Team that will align, lead, and amplify our efforts. After an extensive external and internal search, we recognized that we have an individual within the JHMR organization that is highly capable and ready to lead this initiative.

I am pleased to announce the promotion of Julie Calder to the newly created position of Vice President of Guest Experience, reporting to me.

Julie will lead Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s strategic initiative to elevate the guest experience across the resort. I wish to stress that this work is in its early stages and will build over the next few years. The involvement of all that have guest interaction will be invaluable, and your input will contribute to the development of this programming. The end goal of this work is to streamline the guest experience; deliver personalized service and develop processes to ensure convenience and simplified engagement with our guests. In her new role, Julie will play a key role in collaborating and partnering with the local community, including lodging and travel partners for destination wide guest initiatives to support our community and the JHMR guest experience.

Julie Calder has been immersed in travel and tourism for her entire life. A focus on travel and adventure was fostered through her family’s travel business in Massachusetts. Julie moved to Jackson Hole in 1997 and began a career in tourism shortly thereafter at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Julie has been the Director of International Sales and Marketing and most recently has served as the interim General Manager for JHRL and innovated operations to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. She achieved her Masters of Business Administration and a Masters in International Economics from George Washington University, is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and speaks some Russian. Julie serves on the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors as well as the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Board. She is a passionate traveler, competitive horseback rider and local skier, especially with her husband Andy and two daughters, Avery and Hannah.

“I am honored to take on this new role for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. I first visited Jackson Hole on family ski vacations in the 1990s and have always been involved in guest interactions. I have spent many years interacting with new and long-standing guests around the world to share my passion for this community and resort. I look forward to working in this role to enhance the experience for current and future local, destination, and international guests. Jackson Hole is truly special, and I am grateful to call it home.”

We are immediately commencing the search to replace Julie in her current role overseeing JHRL. Julie will continue to lead JHRL through the implementation of their new software systems and onboarding of her replacement. We will also begin the first of many planning meetings on how we will operationalize the guest experience for this winter.

We are excited to have Julie embrace this important role and look forward to working with Julie and all of you to elevate the guest experience going forward. Best,

Mary Kate From: Kari Cooper To: Arne Jorgensen Subject: Fwd: Announcement - Vice President, Guest Experience Date: Thursday, July 22, 2021 1:33:58 PM

Dear Arne,

Unique and wild, Channel Islands National Park serves as the perfect getaway for a revitalizing experience of wilderness and wellness.

Join NPCA on a 5-day, 4-night small-ship cruise aboard the National Geographic Venture as we set sail to this picturesque destination off the Southern California coastline. We’ll explore three of the five islands which make up Channel Islands National Park, plus nearby Catalina Island.

This trip is almost full, so don't delay if you'd like join us!

Wild California Escape: Channel Islands National Park November 6-10, 2021 © Brian Swanson/Shutterstock

Trip highlights include:

Kayak, stand-up paddleboard, hike or relax ashore and enjoy the wild and remote island landscapes.

See the last major light station built on the West Coast on the striking Anacapa Island.

Hike to one of only two naturally occurring Torrey pine groves in the world.

Catch a glimpse of the elusive fox species only found in the Channel Islands.

Learn how NPCA has worked to protect Channel Islands National Park from threats. Known as North America’s Galápagos, the Channel Islands and their surrounding waters provide habitat for more than 2,000 species of plants and animals, including 150 native species found nowhere else in the world. See islands so magnificent that they were protected as a national monument in 1938 and later became a national park in 1980. NPCA has worked to remove ranching and hunting operations on Santa Rosa Island, allowing native species to flourish and providing the public with unhindered access to this beautifully isolated place. © Madelinesalocks/Dreamstime

After setting sail from Los Angeles, we will explore East Anacapa Island where you can enjoy a scenic hike to Anacapa Lighthouse or, for a more relaxing option, explore Arch Rock via a rugged yet comfortable small watercraft.

Next, we will visit beautiful Santa Rosa Island in Channel Islands National Park. Here you will have your choice of activities, including kayaking, hiking, or simply relaxing ashore and enjoying the birdlife or watching for the Channel Island fox. You could also join our naturalists for a more strenuous hike out to the base of the island’s Torrey pines, one of the world’s rarest. Later, end your day with a well-deserved sunset cocktail party. © BlueBarronPhoto/Shutterstock

From there, we’ll head to Santa Catalina Island, where you’ll learn about its colorful history of smugglers and gold-diggers and its transformation into a resort destination by chewing gum tycoon William Wrigley, Jr. During your voyage, you will hear from a Catalina Island Conservancy member who wll provide an informative introduction to their work on the island.

Later in the day, the ship will arrive in Avalon Harbor, where you’ll have time to explore the city of Avalon, the island’s only incorporated city. Visit such landmarks as Avalon Canyon, the Wrigley Monument, the Botanical Garden and the Catalina Casino, built by Wrigley in 1929. Finally, we’ll return to the ship for a farewell dinner and celebrate your last evening at sea under the stars.

See you in the parks,

Town Council Members:

I am writing to tell you that I am against a dog park in May Park. I live in the Pioneer Homestead Apartments and I spend time in that park everyday....all year. It is beautiful and peaceful with a full view of the Tetons. There are few spots left in the town of Jackson where one can find quiet. A dog park would increase traffic in east Jackson and barking dogs are a nuisance.

If you are thinking that a dog park would be advantageous to the residents in Pioneer Homestead, I believe that is not the case. Out of the approximately 75 apartments located here, there are only three residents that have a dog. As far as residents going to the park to see the dogs, that is not going to happen.

Please don't ruin May Park. Would Wayne May want a dog park on this property? I don't think so.

Thank you for your consideration.

Create and Maintain an Engaging Citizen Experience Using Non-Emergency Mass Communications

Jessica,

Communicating with citizens during an emergency is vital to keeping them safe. While your community relies heavily on mass communications to keep them updated in unsafe situations, they also rely on routine mass communications to help live better lives.

Using non-emergency mass communications creates value and trust in your administration, especially when you use your website as the cornerstone of your communication strategy.

All of this and more is covered in Chapter 3 of The Non-Technical Municipal Website Administrator’s Guide to Creating and Maintaining an Engaging Digital Citizen Experience.

I’ve had several questions, so I thought I would just let everyone know that we will record all of these Friday webinars and will have them available on the WAM website on the ARPA Resources page for those who can’t participate live. That said, we still hope folks wil try to join us if for no other reason than driving robust question and answer opportunities. Excited to see everyone tomorrow!

Warm regards, Justin Schilling Member Services Manager Wyoming Association of Municipalities 315 West 27th Street Cheyenne, WY 82001 307-632-0398 [email protected] www.wyomuni.org

Good Afternoon WAM!

As announced last week at the WAM Summer Convention, our weekly webinar series on all things ARPA kicks off this Friday the 23rd at 10 a.m. with what should be step one for absolutely everyone now that you’ve received your first half funding – the lost revenue calculation. As Auditor Racines explained and illustrated during her presentation on Friday, even if you don’t think you had lost revenue year over year, chances are you may be able to write off some portion of your ARPA funds to this nearly string-free category. Leslie Brumage, Finance Director for the City of Cody, will be joining us to walk you through which numbers you need to collect, and then how to feed them through her simple calculator tool. Did I mention that everyone needs to run this calculation first, and that if you’re confused at all on how to do it, this is your chance to see it done step by step start to finish? Good, now click the registration link below to sign up and we’ll see you there!

You are invited to a Zoom meeting. When: Jul 23, 2021 10:00 AM Mountain Time (US and Canada)

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Warm regards! Justin Schilling Member Services Manager Wyoming Association of Municipalities 315 West 27th Street Cheyenne, WY 82001 307-632-0398 [email protected] www.wyomuni.org

Hello friends and supporters,

There’s no question that the services and resources provided by the Jackson Hole Children’s Museum, Teton Literacy Center, and Children’s Learning Center have a significant positive impact on the vast majority of our children in the valley. Each organization offers excellent care, nurturing environments, and development- boosting early education opportunities. Separately, we do good things for local families. But together, our impact is even more profound.

Sharing important values, goals, and a robust understanding of the developmental and social-emotional needs of young children, our organizations have a unique chance to align and collaborate. This synergy — the complementary and integrated nature of our programming and efforts — is priceless for the community.

Contributing to Champions for Children is more than supporting one of these critical local organizations. The impact of your gift is tripled when you invest in the synergetic relationship among these local nonprofits.

Make your gift to this innovative, collaborative fundraiser today. You can be a Champion for Children.

The Children's Learning Center is proud to offer handcrafted, nutritionally balanced meals and snacks to all students throughout the day. It's just one way that this organization goes the extra mile to set every kid up for a successful, bright future. A Welcoming, Engaging Environment Anely's two sons have learned so much through their time at the Teton Literacy Center. Not only have they surpassed their academic goals of learning to write their names, but also have learned a great deal about managing their emotions. This social-emotional development is equally important, Anely says. She credits the welcoming, engaging environment and the patient, caring teachers for helping her boys achieve so much at TLC.

Hello to the Town Council, again.

Well the TOJ weed patch along Blair Drive is back. Time to beautify Blair Drive.

Here are a few photos taken a couple days ago. It looks good in spring as it grows green, but now it is quite unsightly, and looks much better once mowed.Good time to get it mowed. The weed patch is mature and beginning to brown up, and is now a possible fire hazard these days

Thanks for taking care of it a couple of year and hope you can get public works to mow it soon.

Thanks Jonathan, and to all the TOJ.

Funny thing happened the very next day after I sent the email, a mower was out working on a Sunday. I think it was just pathways prepping for coating, but I was thinking that a less than 24 hour response was way super amazing. It was not till Tuesday that the mower came and cleaned up all the area. Looks great.

One thought, that space looks good in spring when new growth is all green, but it soon goes to weed crop. Would be a real nice park area if maintained more, especially with the kids dirt bike track. Not sure what could be done with it more than now, but it is just a thought or green space. Community Garden expansion perhaps.

Hello to the Town Council.

I like the new Kids Pump Track along Blair Drive. Nice addition.

Ok now how about taking care of the continual WEED patch along Blair drive. I have lived on Whitehouse Drive since 1995 and continue to wonder why the Town of Jackson will not maintain that roadside weed patch.

Very unsightly and source of week seeds blowing on maintained lawns. Not sure if it is an attempt at naturalizing that area, but I find it just what it is, unmaintained town property. It could be a nice green space, but now is just weeds.

Here is photo of it last week.

Can the town please do something about it? Please at least mow it!

Dear Mayor Levinson and Jackson Town Council Members,

I am writing in support of the following proposals that will come before you this summer through the Teton County /Jackson Parks and Rec Department: A one-acre dog park in May Park in East Jackson and two smaller off-leash fenced areas (Powderhorn and Miller Parks).

There are more than 10,000 families with dogs currently living in our valley who do not have access to safe, fenced-in green spaces to socialize and recreate. The recently approved Parks & Rec Strategic Plan highlights the fact that off-leash areas serve as vital places for all people (including senior citizens and those who are injured or have disabilities) to exercise their dogs and socialize with community members. Off-leash areas not only serve dogs, but they are also places for community members, visitors, and new residents to share information and enjoy safe off-leash green space. These spaces decrease dog traffic on shared trails helping reduce conflicts with local wildlife and other trail users.

Please vote in favor of a multi-use approach to our parks and designate safe spaces for families with dogs in our community.

Thank you for your time and consideration, June Sauvaget

Grand Teton National Park Media Release

Rising Educators creates opportunities for local LatinX high school youth Participants are trained to be leaders and educators with local summer camps NPS Photo

MOOSE, WY— In recognition of Latino Conservation Week, Grand Teton National Park is celebrating the work of local young and emerging LatinX leaders. Grand Teton National Park in collaboration with local education organizations have started a new program, Rising Educators, to create opportunities for local LatinX high school youth to pursue leadership and career development through teaching in their own community.

Rising Educators, local teens ages 16 – 18, lead summer camps around the valley and help young campers explore, play, discover, and learn in Jackson Hole and the Teton Range. Grand Teton National Park and Teton Science Schools kicked off the program in June, conducting place-based training for the youth. With that completed, the participants became and are assistant educators at summer camps with Jackson Hole Children’s Museum, Coombs Outdoors, Teton County Parks and Recreation, and Teton Science Schools.

Every other Wednesday throughout the summer, the interns come back together for professional development nights. Grand Teton and Teton Science Schools staff expand on their place-based education skills, build a sense of community among the educators, and explore career paths. Participants learn from each other and share skills they’ve used while working with the summer camps.

Rising Educator participant Sarahi spent a week in Grand Teton National Park leading Pura Vida, a program designed to connect local LatinX high school and middle school youth to the park and their community through outdoor education and recreation. She came ready with her personal art materials to help with sessions about nature art. Before the program, she had little experience recreating in the park and was excited that it gave her a chance to teach outdoors. Interns like Sarahi are great role models for the middle school campers who are also trying new things all week long, from hiking to nature journaling.

“The park is actively working to welcome our LatinX visitors all year long; it’s incredibly important work for us. We are thrilled to live in a community where these unique collaborations can open doors of opportunity,” said Grand Teton Superintendent Chip Jenkins.

The program is in direct response to feedback from Systems of Education, a collective of local organizations who serve the community through educational opportunities. LatinX families wanted paid career development opportunities for their children and the local education organizations needed staffing programs.

The new program also enhances a multi-year Systems of Education effort to increase access to and equity in summer learning. The first stage was increasing summer camp enrollment among the LatinX elementary students, and Rising Educators now helps recruit instructors, leaders, and educators who are representative of the students in the camps. To make sure the experience is more than “just a summer job,” the park and Teton Science Schools the place-based education training and professional development nights to qualify the interns for school-to-career credit with the high school. The educators also get certified in CPR.

The benefits of their work at summer camps is multi-fold. Local organizations gain valuable, trained staff, several whom are bilingual, and the Rising Educators become role models for the kids.

The team of partners hosted an equity and inclusion training for all staff who would be working with the Rising Educators in an effort to assure the teens came into supportive work environments. The youth had training in self advocacy to help them speak up and address problems or personal needs.

Grand Teton National Park Foundation and Teton Science Schools are providing support to pilot these unique school-to-career training and professional development nights. Jackson Hole Children’s Museum, Teton County Parks and Recreation, and Coombs Outdoors are all paying and supervising the Rising Educators field experience as members of their own staff.

Hi, Jim. I just spent some time searching the airport website looking for details on an agenda item from the June 14 meeting. It was listed like this: Briefing on new FAA Approach and Departure Procedures Yet nowhere can I get any information about what's happening on this new approach from the north, over Highway 89 and not over the portion of the Snake River designated by Congress in 2009 as Wild and Scenic. There is no information in the meeting summaries, and there are no minutes posted for the meeting, just a dead link that goes back to the "Board" page. I've followed up with Bob McLaurin on this, and he hasn't been able to provide me with any information, either. If this meeting had been held on a Wednesday, as is customary, I would have attended in person, as this topic has been of keen interest to me for years, as you know. But the meeting was held Monday, and I had to work. Can anyone provide an update on what's happening with the new approach from the north? The amount of air traffic this summer over the river and GTNP headquarters at Moose has been intolerable, and I'm often embarrassed for our guests. Thanks and best wishes, Jim

To ensure delivery to your inbox, please add us to your address book: [email protected]

Dear Arne,

Have you ever wondered who oversees the management of our 423 national parks?

The National Park Service Director's job is to support, guide and listen to the historians, scientists, rangers and managers at every one of those parks. And when advocates like you and I speak up about the issues that matter to our parks, it is the director's job to listen. Having the right person in this key position can make all the difference for parks, which have been without an official director for more than four years.

While President Biden needs to quickly nominate someone for this job, it is the Senate's job to make sure that person will work hard every day to protect and preserve the National Park System.

Please send a letter to your senators now, and ask them to support a nominee that will put our national parks, their communities, and their resources first.

The National Park Service Director also oversees the management of over 20,000 National Park Service employees. They depend on the director to protect and keep our most incredible natural, cultural, and historic resources for future generations to experience and enjoy. This is no small task, considering the Park Service is second only to the Department of Defense in the amount of infrastructure it manages.

For such an important role, we need to make sure that the U.S. Senate is ready to confirm a director who will:

- Bring positive change to the agency and help our national parks grow stronger in their second century. - Protect our parks' natural, cultural and historic resources and ensure that they remain unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. - Ensure our parks have the cleanest water, clearest air and thriving wildlife. - Preserve and interpret our cultural heritage and the stories that tell a more complete story of the country's history. - Ensure safety of park visitors and staff. - Create opportunities for innovative and bold solutions to keep parks healthy in the face of a changing climate.

Arne, it has been over four years since the National Park Service has had a Senate-confirmed director. For years, underfunding and staff cuts have required park staff to do far more with much less, all while visitation skyrockets at many parks across the country. The lack of leadership within the agency has only compounded these struggles, making it more difficult for staff to perform their duties to ensure the protection of our national parks.

Please send your senators a note to remind them that without a permanent, empowered director, it is our parks, public lands, and all who visit them that pay the price. Ask your senators to confirm a nominee who will uphold the National Park Service's mission to preserve and protect our parks for future generations!

Thank you for speaking up for our national parks -- and for the staff that keep them the best places in our country. It is time to offer the parks the leadership they deserve. Tucker Johnson Legislative Analyst, Government Affairs

Email Content: Hi Mayor Hailey,

My name is Holland Gaston and I am a 18 year-old resident of Jackson, I am lucky enough to have attended elementary to high school in this gorgeous town. I now attend Cal-Poly University in San Luis Obispo, California but I'm happily home and working as a care provider for people with disabilities this summer. I was very excited to hear about your campaign and election, especially as a young female in the community and an advocate for climate change.

As a member of Citizens' Climate Lobby, I appreciated your introduction for The Jackson Hole Global Forum on Climate Change and National Security and I'm reaching out to hopefully have a conversation with you about climate change solutions, since Jackson has made a commitment to this incredibly important topic. Would you be available for a meeting with our group, primarily with another 19 year-old constituent in the county? It could be a phone call or Zoom, or even a cup of coffee! Thank you so much for the consideration.

Kind regards,

Grand Teton National Park Media Release Modified operations at marinas on Jackson Lake Park visitors advised to use caution when recreating on park waters NPS Photo/C. Adams

MOOSE, WY— Grand Teton National Park visitors, boaters, and river users should expect impacts to some recreational activities, including modified operations at lake marinas, from the expected drawdown of Jackson Lake. The public is advised to use caution when recreating on Jackson Lake and the Snake River downstream of Jackson Lake Dam.

Due to very low natural flows and the need to supplement downstream reservoirs, Jackson Lake is expected to drawdown rapidly to levels only seen three times in the last thirty years.

Park concessions with marina facilities, including Grand Teton Lodge Company and Signal Mountain Lodge Company, are modifying operations in accordance with forecasted lake level changes. The Colter Bay boat ramp is expected to close to motorized vessels by Wednesday, July 21. The ramp will still be accessible to vessels that can be hand carried. In addition, it is likely that impacts to Signal Mountain and Leek’s Marinas will occur as early as the end of August or early September. Park visitors with motorized boats should note that recreation opportunities will be increasingly limited in the park.

Recreation on the Snake River is also being affected. All river users are advised to be aware of higher than normal releases from the Jackson Lake Dam that will likely extend into September, before being reduced rapidly over the course of a few days to minimum winter flows. This will result in swifter currents than typical through August, and the possibility for new river hazards as flows decline. As early as September, the river will become increasingly difficult for larger watercraft to navigate. As a result, scenic float trip operations will have shorter than historically typical operating seasons. Guided fishing operations may be affected as well.

Background Due to drought conditions throughout the west, water supply in the form of reservoir storage is in critical need. The Jackson Lake Dam, located on the Snake River in Grand Teton, contractually provides irrigation and flood risk management for the Upper Snake Basin. The Jackson Lake Dam raises the water level of the natural lake by 39 feet.

According to the Bureau of Reclamation, the reservoir currently is 71% full and 80% of normal storage for the date. The dam is currently releasing 5,250 cubic feet per second, which has been drawing down the reservoir at a rate of 3.5 to 4.5 inches per day. Current projections indicate the reservoir will continue to do so at a rate of 4.5-6.0 inches per day through the middle of September, when the rate will likely be reduced to winter flows.

For current river and reservoir data, please visit Reclamation’s Hydromet website at https://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/uppersnake/.

The Jackson Lake Boat Ramp levels are available at https://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/ramps/jackson/jackson.html.

Astoria Park Conservancy is submitting a grant request to the National Endowment for the Arts to support a large-scale educational interpretive signage art project we are seeking funding for as part of the larger park development project. We plan to work with Teton County schoolchildren, Teton Conservation District, our featured artist Katie Shepherd Christiansen, and other partners to create bi-lingual content focused on the flora and fauna found onsite.

For this application, we need to provide a letter of support from the Mayor- but I know Hailey is on her maternity leave right now. Can you help with this?

We can draft a letter for you to format on your letterhead and sign for her if this sounds like a project your office would like to express support for if that's possible? Can you help?

Hi Jessica, Thanks for getting back to us and looking into next steps. As this is all new to us, we have a few questions: 1) How do we reach out to councilors and commissioners to vote in favor? Is it a simple request to them via a letter? 2) What staff would produce a staff report? What's a staff report?

Many thanks for your help navigating this!

Greetings Jessica, It has been a little while since we have been in touch, and we wanted to update you on some exciting progress! On 7/8/21, the Parks and Rec Advisory Board gave their unanimous support of the concept of covered public tennis courts. One of the board members submitted a letter for their review on behalf of our Teton County Community Tennis Association. It is our understanding that they will forward that letter onto the county and town public officials. Have you seen their letter yet?

We are hoping to gather information regarding the next steps after the County and Town receive this letter. If it gets onto an agenda, we'd like to send someone from our CTA to join the meeting. I'll keep an eye out for upcoming meeting agendas, and if you see it on a future agenda, could you please let me know?

The next step, as we see it, is to secure a location. Would we be wise to pursue a "workshop" format with both the Town & County present?

We look forward to your thoughts and any information that you can provide.

See attached letter that we sent prior to their Advisory Board meeting on 7/8/21.

Thank you for your continued assistance as we pursue this public amenity for Jackson Hole!

From: Becca Williams To: Town Council Subject: Homeownership for DACA recipients Date: Monday, July 19, 2021 8:38:17 PM

Dear Teton County Elected Officials,

My name is Rebecca Williams and I have lived in Jackson for 3 years. I work for the Teton Literacy Center and used to work for Teton Science Schools. I consider myself an active member of the community in Jackson, and am very involved with education and families who live in the valley. I love Jackson, and want it to be a place that values all of our community members. I know people who are DACA recipients who have contributed time, love and money to our community in ways that far exceed what I have done in my own few years here. However, because I am a citizen I have certain rights that someone who is a DACA recipient does not have. I know that Jackson values all of its community members, and think it is very clear that we need to shift our rules on homeownership to start to show that. I believe that the town of Jackson can be a model for the rest of the world and show people what it looks like to really practice what we preach about valuing individuals, community, and equality. So, I am asking you to please change our law in Jackson so that DACA recipients are allowed to be homeowners. This is one small and achievable step that Jackson as a town has the power to take.

Thank you for your time,

Becca

Good afternoon Vice Mayor Jorgensen,

My name is Cody Eastwood and I visited Jackson for the first time with my wife for vacation from July 14-17, 2021. We had a wonderful experience in the city as well as in Teton Village.

I did want to relay my experience at the Jackson airport when departing the city. I found this airport to be extremely crammed and dirty. I travel for work full-time throughout North America and understand the limitations of a smaller airport. Nevertheless, there was limited seating throughout the airport and our flight was delayed due to a youth boarding another aircraft by accident (barricades outside the airport were not connected leading to confusion for all passengers).

I have attached a photo of my experience. I understand tourist season places stresses on airports and other tourism-related infrastructure. I did want to pass along my disappointment with the airport facilities and hope this is brought to the attention of the council.

Thank you for your time. You have a lovely city.

Hi Johnny, It's terrific to see the improvements underway to the Town pedestrian walkways, thank you and the Town Council for all the work on this, very important for Jackson quality of life.

One aspect I’d like to point out is the choice of joints used for sidewalk construction. Would it be possible to change to saw-cut joints wherever possible? That style is preferred by pedestrians, and especially anyone using a wheelchair or mobility device, or parents with kids in strollers. The cost is not significant.

Here are some photos of the two methods used in Jackson. If you were to test these with a wheel chair down both styles, the benefits to saw-cut would be quickly felt; instead of “bump, bump” every crack, its smooth rolling.

I hope the Town Square curb bulb outs are approved by Council, that would be a huge improvement. How would the paver curb bulbs be constructed? The same concerns with a smooth surface for pedestrian walks is an issue with paver curb bulbs; they tend to look better on the Landscape Architects drawings than they function in the real world for people walking. The goal for pedestrians should be a smooth walking surface where they walk. Pavers in the buffer/fixtures zone between the sidewalk and curb would be fine.

Could you let me know what WYDOT says? I am in discussions with them about issues like this in my job as a statewide bicycle/pedestrian advocate.

Thank you, Tim

A beautiful new Town of Jackson sidewalk, which could be made better with saw-cut joints instead of the wider deeper ones used here.

The Teton County Library uses Saw-Cut joints with great success. This is now 15 years old or so and has functioned perfectly.

Saw cut details, shows that it is much smoother than trowel-style joints.

Another location with larger joints than is ideal. The recent WYDOT “Y” intersection changes used saw cut joints. While that intersection has serious safety issues for bikes and pedestrians crossing the highway, this aspect of the construction does work well.

UPCOMING WORKSHOP Structured Decision Making in Natural Resources Management

A two-day workshop hosted by the Ruckelshaus Institute of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming August 16–17, 2021 Laramie,WY

Workshop Tuition: $195 Workshop Contact: [email protected]

VIEW THE AGENDA Natural resource and environmental problems are exceptionally challenging. They are structurally complex, they involve multiple and conflicting values, and are characterized by incomplete and uncertain information.

This two-day workshop will provide you with concepts and approaches to define and structure natural resource problems for management and policy decision making, and tools and techniques for addressing problems analytically and in a values-oriented context.

This workshop is targeted to:

Natural resource managers

Environmental consultants Environmental planners

Project leaders and managers

Research analysts

Project facilitators

Structured Decision Making (SDM) is designed for interdisciplinary teams who develop management plans, conduct environmental assessments, design policy frameworks, or propose infrastructure projects. The key element in all of these applications is dealing with multiple, often conflicting objectives of resource managers and stakeholders. SDM analytical tools can also be adapted for use in multi-party, collaborative processes with non-technical stakeholders.

www.fs.usda.gov/btnf Teton to Snake Fuels Reduction Project Continues Along Phillips Ridge

Jackson Wyo., July 18, 2021—The next phase of the Teton to Snake Fuels Reduction Project on the Jackson Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest is set to begin July 19, 2021 on Phillips Ridge. Throughout the next month, contractors will be cutting trees and stacking woody debris to minimize fire hazards in proximity to the powerline road, the Snotel and Phillips Ridge trails.

To provide for public safety and allow contractors to complete the tree cutting as quickly as possible, temporary closures will be in effect for small portions of the Snotel and Phillips Ridge Trails. Please respect temporary trail closures between the hours of 6:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday thru Saturday and do not enter the work zone if these areas are posted closed for your safety.

The reduction in hazardous fuel loading within the Phillips Ridge area will aid in modifying potential fire behavior by reducing a fire’s opportunity to get in the forest canopy and lowering the chance of fire impacting communities and recreation use areas. Benefits from fuels reduction includes removing dead and down vegetation, reducing small diameter trees which serve as ladder fuels that carry fire from the ground to the tree canopy, and increasing tree crown spacing by opening the tree canopy to limit potential fire spread by crown fire. Through these efforts we create more fire adaptive communities and reduce the risk and cost of fire suppression during an unwanted fire within the wildland urban interface. The project area is within the wildland urban interface as defined by the 2014 Teton County Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) as communities at risk of wildfire. Maps of the project are posted at trailhead areas and on the web at tetonfires.com. For more information please call 307-739-5425.

Email Content: Dear Town Council, I am writing to you about Jackson’s removal of in-town trees. This comment is short to be concise in hopes you read the entire comment and not because this issue does not have more depth. Our area of the world is experiencing regional heatwaves, but temperatures only a few blocks a part can can differ by over 20 degrees. The reason is tree coverage (see citation to study below of neighborhoods within Portland, Oregon having different temperatures due to hyper-local tree coverage). Individual blocks, not the whole town, have microclimates due to the presence of more or less trees. This is a significant problem in Jackson as trees are being removed for increased density projects (e.g., 430 W Kelly, 445 E Kelly, and the Rancher Street redevelopment). Portland made the same decision, to remove trees for high-density housing, which resulted in the dense neighborhoods rising above 120 degrees and many residents dying from heatstroke. In comparison, the low-density neighborhoods stayed below 98 degrees. In the same article, you will find how those living in subsidized housing are disproportionately killed in heatwaves due to tree removal due to the lack of their neighborhood’s trees at across the country. Unfortunately being adjacent to miles of forest does not help. We need trees in-town, not those three or four blocks away. Those who in town meetings claimed there are enough trees and removal for buildings/parking is more important are wrong and short-sighted due to ignorance to real data. Air conditioning is not a substitute for the cooling effect of trees. Air conditioning is not an efficient use of energy, leads to further climate change, and cannot scale. Furthermore, a pedestrian/bike-friendly community will be impossible as heatwaves make the outside unbearable. The town is not acting to better our welfare but allowing trees to be cut down without being replaced by trees of equal or greater coverage. The solution is cheap and easy. The council has the power to force current projects to halt tree removal and replace previously removed trees, some of which occurred without the town’s permission (e.g., 430 W Kelly). Future approvals and ordnances must focus on coverage, not quantity (planting even four or five small/thin trees do not compensate for the removal of an old growth tree). Therefore, this is a problem that can be fixed without any additional cost to taxpayers. I urge the town council to act on this crisis without delay to save lives and better our community. Best, Tim Fram Consolidated Citations 1.

Jonathan,

Some properties in Cottonwood and Rangeview Parks would be ideal for ADUs with these type of modulars or even building ADUs onto existing homes.

Of course that is impossible with our archaic single family HOA neighborhood that has its historical roots in keeping up with the Jones, green carpet, chem lawn corporate 1960s propaganda, while red lining the so called, undesirable classes. Neighborhood exclusion was pioneered on Long Island in 1950s NY, where I grew up, and fine tuned by realtors and local legislators across the country, using the GI bill as cover. (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.history.com/.amp/news/gi-bill-black-wwii-veterans- benefits)

My husband and I are retired and will find it hard to pay taxes on the skyrocketing real estate here. Like wise, my son who is just surviving, but considered one of the lucky Jackson kids because he shares a tiny apartment in the industrial section, south of town. He will never be able to afford his own place in this insane real estate environment. It is out of reach for the career hospitality industry working stiff. It is anything but hospitable for them. They are the bolts holding Jackson Hole's economic engine together, but yet they get ignored and chewed up in the greedy gears of capitalism. Even the most expensive engine will seize up if not regularly attended to. Try getting around town in a Land Rover without it's chassis's bolts.

We would love to be able to do something like a boxable ADU on our little 1/4 acre for my son and then switch as needed if he has a family. We live in a 1,200 sq ft home and find it getting too large for our needs. Yes, even a 1,200 sq ft home can be a pain to care for. We don't have the money for lawn and housekeeping services, but that's probably why we don't need a gym membership.

As the narrator in the video said, these modulars could also be the next new neighborhood here in the Hole, once town is built out. By the way, whatever did happen to our 2012 comprehensive plan's main goal of, 'Town As Heart'? I remember going to a lot of comp plan meetings and getting signatures in the dead of winter in the early 2,000s. Was that a waste of time, effort and learning about sustainable goals?

Anyway, these 'Boxabl' (boxabl.com) off site built modulars with add ons and stacking capabilities give a new neighborhood endless possibilities and affordable inclusiveness that can be low impact, predictable and sustainable. But we need to get rid of archaic, exclusionary HOAs, and keep high-end realtors, flippers and travel marketeers at bay.

Have a great weekend and stay cool. Kathy

P.S. For Tucker @ Cottonwood Park HOA... just in case this video link in rest of original email didn't get to you. After all these years and I still can't figure out Hotmail☺ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E1B-6p1umQ4 From: Kathy Tompkins Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2021 8:06 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Town Council ; [email protected] ; Kristi Malone ; [email protected] ; Annette Langley ; [email protected] Subject: Small affordable homes

Good morning,

Thought this was interesting. Maybe we can make it trendy for millionaires and billionaires here who require armies of home searching laborers to maintain their castles. If Elon can do it, why can't the rest of the elitists? Time to shrink the size of dwellings and cost so livability isn't just for the rich. Sure would love to see simplified affordable homes that don't eat up a lot of space. Stay away from on sight, labor intensive stick built and go modular. Also, get rid of water sucking, chemical filled lawns in ALL new neighborhoods going forward. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E1B-6p1umQ4 "Quality of life is the sum total of the fairness of our tax structure; the caliber of our homes; the cleanliness of our air and water; and the provision of affirmative assistance to those who cannot assist themselves. True quality is absent if we allow social suffering to abide in an otherwise pristine environment."

Oregon Governor Tom McCall (1967 to 1975) and environmental journalist ahead of his time with his 1962 documentary "Pollution in Paradise"

We haven't had a true quality of life here in the hole for sometime now. It is an illusion, propagandized and broadcast by real estate companies and travel marketing firms.

www.fs.usda.gov/btnf Shale Creek Fire Burning on Kemmerer Ranger District

Kemmerer Wyo., July 17, 2021— The Shale Creek Fire was spotted by local resources while conducting a patrol yesterday (7/16/21) at approximately 2:20 pm. Additional Teton Interagency Fire resources were immediately dispatched to the report. Upon arrival, the fire behavior was described as group torching, running, and spotting. The fire is burning in the Shale Creek Drainage between Indian Creek and Commissary Ridge approximately a half mile from Little Bear Trail and two miles north of FS 10155 road. Bridger-Teton National Forest Officials are evaluating an area closure, until one is put in place, they are asking the public to stay out of the area to allow fire personal and aircraft to work safely. Due to the steep terrain, limited resources available, and lack of access, no ground resources were committed to the fire yesterday. Two Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATs) were utilized to slow the fires spread with an additional type 3 helicopter on scene to assess the spread, growth potential, and ensure no members of the public were out ahead of the fire. Additional ground and air resources will be arriving today along with a Type 3 Incident Management Team which will take over command of the fire Sunday (7/18/21) morning. The fire is burning in aspen stands along with mixed conifer that has been significantly impacted by beetle kill. With storm systems passing in the afternoon gusty outflow winds up to 30 miles per hour helped fan the fires spread. A reconnaissance flight was able to map the fire’s perimeter at approximately 75 acres with numerous spots up to a half mile away from the main fire. Ahead of the main fire are two fire scars from the 2017 Pole Creek Fire and the 2000 Fontenelle Fire. The plan for today’s operations is to gain access to the fire for ground resources and assess various suppression strategies given the resources available, expected weather, and fire behavior. The Fire Danger Rating on the Bridger-Teton National Forest remains at VERY HIGH and Stage 1 Fire Restrictions are in effect across the Forest. To find out more visit Tetonfires.com. To report a wildfire, abandoned or unattended campfire call Teton Interagency Dispatch at 307-739-3630 or 911.

Email Content: Dear Town Council,

I was ashamed to watch April Norton talk about the Teton County Housing Preservation program at the July 12th meeting. First, no one knew that she was speaking on this because the link to tell us this was broken until about 2 hours ago when I called, four days after the meeting took place.

THIS PROGRAM IS A DISASTER. How can an unelected bureaucrat have the authority to pass out tax payer money to a select few? Also, the results of the survey did not include any negative comments about this program, but I personally commented negatively as did two other people I know about. NONE of these comments were disclosed. April reported as though the only problems were that people needed more money & wanted to learn more about it. THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY COMMENTS THAT WERE GIVEN AS I GAVE OTHER FEEDBACK THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED>.

Here are some other suggestions, but the answers might have caused April to do more gymnastics.

1. If we give someone $150,000 to live in a house for the next 60 years, it does not help the community.

2. There is NO ASSETS LIMIT or INCOME LIMIT

3. WE ARE HELPING THE MOST FORTUNATE, EVEN WEALTHY PEOPLE OWN HOMES. This is not the job of the government!

4. It is not the housing departments job to decide who commutes and who does not.

5. IT IS IMMORAL TO TAKE MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS TO HAND IT OVER TO OTHERS TO OWN A HOME>

6. People can have another home and still qualify but must sell their OTHER house. Why don't they use that money for the downpayment???

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. We live in the greatest county in the country and you are giving some of the wealthiest people in the US who make $200,000 per year a FREE downpayment.

Email Content: Dear Mayor Mortenson and Jackson Town Council Members,

I just received a copy of the new Social Service Contract between the town of Jackson and Children's Learning Center. I was so thrilled and appreciative to see that you awarded CLC more than we originally requested. WOW! I can't tell you how much that will mean to CLC this year and how grateful we are for your continued support and leadership.

We are always challenged to keep our tuition rates in the "affordable" range for working families. Recently, to be able to remain competitive with the local job market , we felt compelled to raise staff salaries by 15% to be able to retain our teaching staff. Even though this increased our overall operating budget, we were committed not to pass that increase onto our working families through significantly higher tuition rates. The unanticipated increase in the town funding will help make up this gap.

Please accept a very heartfelt thank you from all of us associated with CLC for your support of CLC and the working families and kids we serve!

With appreciation,

Because of you, WYCF can grant to a wide variety of Wyoming nonprofits. BDAR and CfR are two examples of organizations that impact all areas of the state. A Legacy of Literacy: the Sue Jorgensen Library Foundation's Wyoming Reads

Every September, around 30 of Casper's most dedicated educators, volunteers and other community members gather to make an important decision. There is lobbying; there are debates. Participants argue passionately, trying to persuade each other to choose one option over another. Then, at the end of this process, there is a vote.

The all-important outcome of this vote is a group of six books. These are the books that every first-grader in the state will choose from as part of Wyoming Reads, an annual literacy project created by the Sue Jorgensen Library Foundation.

The foundation was created by John Jorgensen to honor his late wife Sue. Sue was a remarkable educator. Holding a Ph.D. in special education, Sue created the University of Wyoming elementary education program at Casper College. Sue passed away tragically in 1996. Thinking of their five children, John recalls wanting “to come up with something for them to remember their mother by,” to remember all that she stood for.

After a difficult year, the Wyoming Reads celebration this May was an especially momentous day - and it was only possible because of you, because of John, and, of course, because of Sue.

Your support makes these opportunities possible in good times and bad. Read the full story and other stories from our summer newsletter HERE

Dear Foundation Friends,

I’ve noticed that my friends and family are checking in on me more often this summer. I believe we have changed our interactions with each other because of the pandemic. I have fewer purely social conversations these days and, instead, I’m asking real questions - questions about how a friend is feeling. I’m letting my family and friends know that I want deeper conversations. I want to know if they are okay and finding their way in this busy summer of re-emerging.

I am fortunate to have friends and family who check in on me. This is certainly not the case for many people. I bet you have read about or experienced the incredible toll that the pandemic is taking on mental wellness. This is compounded by the confusion and stress of getting medical help.

You might have heard about the recent Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by Teton County Health and St. John’s Health. That assessment surveyed overall community health and social needs. Mental health was identified as the most pressing issue.

The Behavioral Health Steering Committee is releasing a survey that will focus on how you, as an individual, view mental wellness and resources. It’s called the Mental Wellness Community Assessment and we need your help. By filling out this survey (it’s anonymous, so no personal information requested), you contribute vital data that will help our local organizations identify mental wellness services and resources that are most needed. Please take a few moments with the survey. You will set our health organizations on a course to better address the staffing and services needed in our community especially as we come off such an unusual year.

We anticipated that the pandemic would have long-term effects on our community, and our work is not close to being finished. The Community Emergency Response Fund granted support to the Mental Wellness Community Assessment as a measure to safeguard the wellbeing of our community in the aftermath of this crisis.

And if you want to go one step further, maybe reach out to a family member or a friend this weekend and ask how they are doing. We can be there for each other.

Warm regards,

Laurie Andrews President, Community Foundation of Jackson Hole

Grand Teton initiates habitat restoration projects NPS Photo/C. Adams

MOOSE, WY— Grand Teton National Park staff have initiated habitat restoration projects in the southern part of the park. The work is part of a multi-phase restoration effort to replace approximately 4,500 acres of former non-native grass fields with native sagebrush steppe habitat. A healthy sagebrush ecosystem in Grand Teton is vital for the diversity and abundance of native plants and wildlife species like elk, bison, moose, pronghorn, and sage grouse that rely on them. Through the support of the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, the park has worked to return these pastures to their former, native glory.

Beginning in the late 1800s, Jackson Hole homesteaders converted large swaths of local sagebrush steppe habitat to hayfields for agricultural use. The smooth brome they planted provided their livestock with nutrition year-round as the hay could be stored for winter use. Since this time, the homesteaders have moved away from Antelope Flats and other areas of Grand Teton. However, the converted pastures have persisted, decreasing the value to wildlife in the heart of year-round habitation and migration corridors.

Since 2007, Grand Teton park staff, through the support of the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, have worked to return these pastures to their native sagebrush steppe habitat. This is a long-term project and successful restoration of these areas takes years to complete. To date, 1,320 acres are in various stages of restoration, with areas furthest along containing diverse, well-established native plants that provide a source of food and shelter for a wide range of pollinators and wildlife. Wildflowers, sagebrush, and other native plants can now be seen in these locations.

In June, park staff from Vegetation Ecology and Management at Grand Teton initiated restoration on 110 more acres of former hayfields. During this operation, staff applied herbicide to remove non-native pasture grass at two different locations.

The first of these sites, 90 acres located in the South Slough unit west of Mormon Row, is part of the Antelope Flats sagebrush habitat restoration called for in the 2007 Elk and Bison Management Plan.

The second site where restoration work has taken place is 20 acres located in the McBride unit south of the Jackson Hole Airport and east of North Spring Gulch Road. This project specifically aims to restore sage grouse habitat.

During restoration operations, park staff apply herbicide by tractor, UTV, and backpack sprayers. The application results in dead vegetation and bare ground. When non-native grass has been successfully removed, park staff will seed with a mix of native grasses, shrubs and forbs (wildflowers).

Below you can see before and after photos of restoration work initiated in Grand Teton.

I missed mentioning this last important consideration. A part of the Rafter J PUD from the 1970’s, included a portion of land intended for institutional use. Legacy Lodge was built subsequently on this property and was used to house people in their later, retired years with common area and kitchen for the use of all as the units are small. Though the thought of dormitory residential wasn’t a term used for such small residential units when Legacy was developed, the findings could reasonably be made to define the small unit residential housing of JH employees with a common area and kitchen facilities also as an institutional use today. Housing younger people in much the same manner where older people were housed in the same facility doesn’t seem to be a change of use but rather a change in tenants.

Again, thank you, mark

If we’re willing to provide up to $200k to buy down market homes for employment based DR Restrictions, then this idea might produce more units for less tax payer money. Enterprise funds would be backfilled by local government. > > Let privately built deed restricted units, whether for mitigation or voluntary, remain dedicated to the builder of the unit(s) intended use. Any employer who volunteers or mitigates should maintain the full use of these units for their employees regardless of temporary spans when they have no employee to fill the unit. They carry the full financial burden of providing the units and may be incentivized to build more units with the confidence that their unit(s) will be there for their own staff when needed. Anyone who provides workforce housing should never lose their investment in WF housing to a publicly selected tenant. > > Remove the language in our housing agreements that allow any and all rules to change at any time. > > Increase the size of a residential accessory unity to a maximum of 800 sq feet from 500.
