Park County interviews multiple applicants for predator board and travel council; commissioners appoint Jake Ivanoff and two predator board members
Summary
The county interviewed multiple candidates for the Park County Predator Management Board and the Park County Bridal (Travel) Council. After interviews, commissioners appointed Jake Ivanoff to the Bridal Council and approved two appointments to the predator board.
Park County commissioners heard interviews from several applicants for two boards and filled openings during the meeting.
Allen Rosenbaum, a longtime agriculture and ranch-management applicant, interviewed for the sportsman seat on the Park County Predator Management Board and described a background in ranching, weed/pest boards and local ag-business connections. Chris (last name not specified in the public transcript) and a physician-applicant also interviewed for predator-board seats; candidates said they would rely on data, local observations and collaboration with wildlife services. After discussion, commissioners moved and approved appointments to the predator management board, naming Allen Rosenbaum to a sportsman seat and appointing Chris (applicant) to an at-large seat.
The board also interviewed four candidates for the Park County Bridal (travel) council seat left vacant by resignation. Applicants included Steven Elias, who described a career in destination marketing and technology for large tourism operations; Jake Ivanoff, local property owner and hotel operator who highlighted downtown investment and a focus on keeping visitors in Cody; Bruce Sowers, director of revenue at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West with marketing and analytics experience; and Theresa (last name not given), a corporate-events planner who said she plans group and incentive travel events.
After discussion and a second motion, commissioners appointed Jake Ivanoff to the Park County Bridal Council. Commissioners said the applicants were all strong and that the selected member should provide local business perspective and engage with the council's existing director.
Ending The appointments are effective immediately as recorded in the meeting minutes; commissioners said they intended to inform candidates about the decisions by the end of the day. Several interviewed candidates were encouraged to remain involved in county boards and community activities even if not selected.
