Below are the formal actions, outcomes and brief notes for each item recorded during the meeting.

- FAA grant (Resolution 25‑15): Approved unanimously. Motion: adopt FAA grant agreement to construct a de‑icing pad and containment facility (phase 2) and related utilities and equipment at the Jackson Hole Airport. Federal obligation reported in the meeting: $3,311,889.

- Resolution 25‑12 (FY2025 budget amendment #4): Approved unanimously (see separate budget article for details).

- Resolution 25‑13 (FY2026 budget adoption): Adopted unanimously; town‑assessed mills set at 0.5 (see separate budget article).

Town Manager Taylor Sinclair and Finance Director Kelly Thompson summarized the process and the changes. Sinclair told the council that the town has been discussing the budget since April in workshops and that state statute requires adoption by the third Tuesday in June. Staff emphasized the budget is amendable during the year through quarterly revisions.

The amended FY2025 items included line items previously discussed by council such as the license plate reader (LPR) program, audiovisual upgrades for council chambers, Gregory Lane stormwater and capital items, additional IT services requests and a compensation adjustment to reflect lower-than-expected vacancy rates. Staff said the town had budgeted for a double‑digit vacancy but actual vacancies were lower, requiring additions to the wage/compensation line. The amendment also accounted for higher prisoner expenses at the county jail. Offsetting revenues for Gregory Lane included the use of a specific‑purpose excise tax and other grant offsets; specific dollar figures for those offsets were not read into the record at the hearing.

Sinclair and Thompson said the proposed FY2026 budget sets the town‑assessed property tax at 0.5 mills, consistent with recent years. After brief public comment (none offered on the night of the vote) the council voted to adopt the FY2026 budget and to approve the FY2025 amendment. The votes were unanimous.

Council members praised staff for extended outreach during the budget process and said they would continue longer‑range strategic budgeting work later in the year. Council discussion noted that investing in staff retention and realistic vacancy assumptions had reduced recruitment and turnover costs compared with prior projections. The council directed staff to continue strategic budget work and to present additional priority and long‑range options during the coming months.","After a public hearing, the council adopted the Town of Jackson fiscal year 2026 budget and approved a final amendment to the FY2025 budget.

Planning staff reminded the council that the applications had been reviewed previously by staff and the planning commission and that the master plan is a flexible, design‑guided document. Staff and some neighbors flagged Lot 57 — particularly its southern/eastern building — as the site that raised the most concern because of increased floor area shifted to Lot 57 in a 2019 amendment and because the building placement and massing could create a narrow, canyon‑like condition for adjacent properties and pedestrians.

Council members and members of the planning commission asked the applicant to provide additional, clearer materials showing pedestrian sidewalk continuity, planting/screening options and measured cross sections that compare the current site and the proposed development. Staff and several council members specifically asked the applicant to restore or rework sidewalk connections at the east end of the north and south buildings on Lot 57 while preserving increased landscape screening, and to show how stepbacks, reduced floor area or other design moves would change light penetration and perceived mass.

Applicant teams provided supplemental sun‑study slides and cross sections during the meeting and said they could provide additional, supplemental engineering sections and renderings for the council packet if the council continued the items. The council set an explicit continuance so the public, staff, the planning commission and the applicant could review the additional materials in advance of the next hearing.

Motion language directed staff and the applicant to return to the July 7 town council meeting with the requested supplemental cross sections and sun studies and with proposals for pedestrian connectivity and landscaping on Lot 57. The council discussed whether it should approve Lots 53 and 58 separately, but opted to continue the three applications together for a coordinated resubmittal. The continuance passed unanimously.

Council members emphasized that the master plan allows for larger structures uphill but also requires that new development \"fit in with bulk, scale and character\" of existing nearby development (Grand View Lodge and Lehi Ridge condominiums). Several council members and commissioners asked for quantitative clarifications — for example, whether sidewalks could be reintroduced without losing required screening, and whether additional stepbacks in the north‑and‑south building faces might increase light and reduce the canyon effect. The council asked staff to work with the applicant to arrive at a clear set of revisions to present July 7.","Council continued three development plans for Lots 53, 57 and 58 in the Snow King master plan, directing the applicant to provide additional cross sections, sun studies, and to reconcile sidewalks and landscaping—especially along Lot 57’s east/west transition—before the July 7 meeting.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6529019,"Jackson council approves temporary Farmers Market expansion onto East Broadway with safety conditions",810,1020000,1830000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3859326-a5e4538daab0a5b1938f43a089a294b9&start=1020&end=1830","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3859326-a5e4538daab0a5b1938f43a089a294b9/thumbnail_1020000.jpg","/articles/6529019/Jackson/Teton-County/Wyoming/Jackson-council-approves-temporary-Farmers-Market-expansion-onto-East-Broadway-with-safety-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6529019-ac65cf1eceb69e480a4d8ebd6e145fa9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193954&Signature=UjvC8EKXEdN9YVtU8mb8MtGJf2L3ylHnmc0BPoKSdBsnR8n125TUAW2s6xzTn3HzTEH2Fu6nn9-~wRkyQUuuolZGWUp8gzpUzxfy43cHf3D2fki21z~1MHgkC27uXYH03kqGS2v7bHS52HnW4D1qtBojMQHM7OylW3EguHJkrQ~LW~rWXvkl5R3ztJEP47A5AwQJBC1clwyXyNWUuqufjVkGeJsmJh-m0jhB9IhhRdFXOjejr0o6nbIhhjnoSdoe4isI1qijT3taJphJIS~bJjm~6LmPa3lEFPvhGJD2~ZMIWaiYilQRxFG3MKUMrKj6HV4CS0UU3NKMOOs3-~k4iw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Jackson Council on June 16 unanimously approved a request from the Jackson Hole Farmers Market to expand vendor stalls onto East Broadway, reinstating part of the pre‑COVID footprint of the market.

The market manager, Jenny May Shervin, told the council the market successfully used Broadway for 20 years before COVID and can operate with a single traffic lane open. Police Chief Michelle Weber and staff raised safety concerns about crowd size and barriers; Weber told the council that the department and parks staff favored moving some vendors inside the square but said the applicant and parks and rec had discussed options.

Councilwoman Beeman moved to approve the expansion with conditions requiring the applicant to be responsible for barrier setup and removal and to ensure water and electricity are available. Councilman Schechter requested a post‑season evaluation; the motion was amended with a friendly amendment that the market report back at the end of the market season in conjunction with the police department so the council can evaluate how the expansion worked.

Market manager Shervin said the market has operated on Broadway and Center for decades and that specific vendors (food trucks, for example) would need space on the street, but she and parks and rec were willing to coordinate vendor placement and safety measures. The council discussed tradeoffs including parking impacts on local businesses and the durability of turf if vendors occupy lawn areas; several council members said they preferred Broadway pavement to intrude less on landscaped areas.

The motion passed unanimously. The council did not set an automatic schedule for further hearings but required the market manager to report back after the season so staff and council can evaluate whether to continue the arrangement.

The council’s approval includes the condition that the applicant is responsible for barrier setup and removal, attendee safety and ensuring utilities are available for expanded vendor areas. The council also asked staff and the market to coordinate on operational details such as deployment of Meridian or Jersey barriers and whether more practical, lighter barrier options (planters on rollers, water‑filled stands) could be used for Saturday markets.

The decision was made during the agenda item for special events and followed a staff presentation from Chief Weber and a public comment period in which Chamber of Commerce President Rick Howe praised the police response to recent protests on the town square but urged more upfront messaging around safety for other community events.

The council did not approve any ordinance change for the market; this action is an event permit/venue decision tied to the market’s seasonal operations and the existing permit processes.","The Town Council unanimously approved the Jackson Hole Farmers Market’s request to expand vendor space onto East Broadway for the summer season, with the market manager responsible for barriers, utilities and a required season-end report coordinated with police.","actionData","errors"]
