Commissioners approve renaming "department head" meetings to "leadership team," schedule department work sessions
Summary
Park County commissioners voted to rename regular department head meetings to "leadership team" and staff will schedule work sessions so all three commissioners can meet with individual departments for briefings; vote was recorded by voice and no roll-call tally was provided.
Park County commissioners approved a procedural change renaming the regular department head meeting to the "leadership team." The motion was moved and seconded and commissioners voted by voice: "All in favor, say aye. Aye," the chair recorded.
Why it matters: The change formalizes a regular opportunity for elected officials and department leaders to share updates and improve cross-department coordination, county staff said.
County leaders described follow-up actions. Department heads were asked to propose dates beginning in March so commissioners can schedule two departmental work sessions per week. The meetings are intended as work sessions only — no final decisions will be made at those sessions; if an item requires action, it will be placed on a subsequent formal commission agenda.
Officials said the sessions could last from about an hour to 90 minutes depending on the department's needs and that staff may invite key personnel to attend. Commissioners said they prefer some sessions to be held adjacent to regular commission meetings to allow commissioners to be present without requiring extra travel.
The county also announced a special public meeting of the commission at 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, to accept rates and address a separate agenda item; commissioners will be in Cooke City on Friday to open resort tax applications.
