Jackson County staff to prepare bylaw amendment to allow more frequent Wolf Advisory Committee meetings
Summary
Public Health Division Manager Jackson Baures urged more frequent County Wolf Advisory Committee meetings; County Counsel reviewed existing bylaws and the Board agreed to prepare an order to amend the bylaws to permit increased meeting frequency.
Jackson County public health staff urged the Board of Commissioners to enable more frequent meetings of the County Wolf Advisory Committee, and the board agreed to pursue a bylaws amendment, minutes show.
Jackson Baures, Public Health Division Manager for the Health and Human Services Department, presented a draft agenda for a proposed County Wolf Advisory Committee meeting and explained why the committee should convene more often. County Counsel Joel Benton described the Committee’s current bylaws during the discussion.
After the exchange, the board directed staff to prepare an order to amend the committee bylaws to allow the committee to meet more frequently. The minutes do not specify the proposed new meeting interval, whether the change would require future public hearings, or any changes to membership or duties; those details were not included in the staff meeting record.
Why it matters: the Wolf Advisory Committee advises county policy and response to wolf-related matters that may affect grazing, livestock, wildlife management, and public concerns. More frequent meetings could accelerate advisory input to county officials on emergent issues.
What’s next: staff will prepare an order to amend the bylaws for board consideration at a future meeting.
