Julianne Fries, the head of Teton Countyâs human resources department, is resigning.
But the human resources director who served amid public calls for the departmentâs review and low employee morale is slotted to stay on Teton Countyâs payroll as a consultant.
Per a Teton County Board of County Commissioners-approved contract, Fries will continue working on a retainer that will pay her $10,877 a month. Thatâs roughly $1,000 more than her most recent monthly pay reported in the countyâs state-mandated list of full time employees and salaries, which is attached to the online version of this article along with the contract at JHNewsAndGuide.com. County Administrator Alyssa Watkins said the extra cash is the total of Friesâ monthly salary and single rate for COBRA, a federal insurance offered to employees who lose their employer-provided health insurance.

Public health and law enforcement officials are fed up with some people and businesses that have been disregarding mask orders, and they say theyâre ready to start ticketing those who canât follow the rules.
âUp to this point, law enforcement has addressed the violations on a case-by-case basis,â Jackson Chief of Police Michelle Weber said at a recent COVID-19 community update meeting. âAnd weâve used the opportunity to educate businesses, and in some circumstances customers, on the public health order.
âBecause we are not getting the compliance with some businesses in particular ⦠we are now considering issuing citations to those establishments who continue to refuse to comply with those public health orders that are in place.â

Several families are demanding accountability after they say they were victims of criminal misconduct at the hands of the Teton County Prosecuting Attorneyâs Office.
In the last few months, various complaints about the county attorneyâs office breaking the stateâs restricted disclosure law have been filed with the Wyoming State Bar, Teton County Sheriffâs Office, Jackson Police Department and Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation.
âThe Teton County Attorneyâs Office and anyone else working for the government who violated this law must be held accountable for their actions and prevented from illegally and unnecessarily damaging the reputations of people who are falsely accused of crimes in the future,â attorneys Devon Petersen and Tom Fleener wrote in an email to the News&Guide.
