After the Teton County Board of County Commissioners decided meetings of the citizen group overseeing planning for growth in northern South Park would be public, the issue is back on
After hearing concerns about transparency, Teton County commissioners have opened up to the public future meetings of the committee overseeing planning for growth in northern South Park.
âNorthern South Park is the future of our community,â Brooke Sausser told the Teton County Board of County Commissioners on Monday. âIt will be home to future generations of Jacksonites. Itâs something we all have a stake in, and thatâs why I was shocked and disturbed to hear that the steering committee met in private.
âLetâs not let an unhealthy black box of secrecy be what makes this plan controversial,â she said. âWhat we need is a transparent, good faith, authentic public process.â
County commissioners are being asked to help with an ongoing crisis at the Hoback RV Park, where property owners are trying to right some wrongs with the siteâs failing septic system and in doing so are displacing several longtime locals.
The water quality problem and the housing dilemma came to a head Monday morning at the Teton County Board of County Commissioners meeting.
âI am at the end of my rope,â Hoback RV resident Mary Talisman said during public comment. âIf I cannot make this work I will have to move out of Jackson.â
Four of Talismanâs neighbors also provided their thoughts, saying the latest proposed solution by property managers to have everyone install individual septic systems on each RV isnât going to work for them.
