Park County staff outlines project-tracking plan, lists GreenBox, mental health and Law and Justice Center among priorities
Summary
Staff proposed monthly project updates at the commission's last-Tuesday meeting, an executive-team rollout for consistent messaging, and rotating project work sessions; listed priorities include GreenBox site updates, fee-schedule changes, new revenue efforts, mental-health supports, education/legislative outreach and the Law and Justice Center.
County staff presented a framework for holding the county’s long-term projects more consistently before the commission and public.
The staff presenter proposed three accountability mechanisms: monthly project updates at the commission meeting (suggested for the last Tuesday of the month), an executive-team rollout to align internal messaging and a schedule of commission work sessions that would deep-dive two projects per session. The presenter said these steps would keep projects "in the eye of the public" and help department heads and commissioners stay informed.
Staff listed several priority projects to move into that cadence, including potential updates to the GreenBox site, identifying new revenue sources, modified fee schedules for planning and the health department, strengthening supports for mental health, public and legislative education efforts, and work on a Law and Justice Center. The presenter asked commissioners and staff to add people to project teams as appropriate and suggested presenting public/legislative education updates at the March 12 work session.
Commissioners agreed in principle and asked staff to put the approach on upcoming agendas (the presenter noted Feb. 24 as the next last-Tuesday slot and Feb. 25 for an executive-team meeting). Staff will begin rotating projects through the proposed update schedule and solicit participation from relevant department heads.
Next steps: staff to place a project-update slot on the Feb. 24 commission agenda, proceed with the executive-team meeting on Feb. 25, and schedule project presentations for future work sessions.
