Summary

Sheriff Shane Johnson presented a Forest Patrol Agreement to the board and discussed operational matters including abandoned-vehicle storage fees and county impound policies.
The board authorized the chairman to sign the Cooperative Law Enforcement Agreement with the USDA Forest Service Bridger-Teton National Forest for $11,000 as part of the consent agenda. Johnson also outlined proposals to revise the sheriff’s office wage scale and recommended contracting a third-party firm to conduct a wage study to evaluate county pay scales. Chairman King said he had reached out to the National Association of Counties for advice on the matter.
No formal motion on the wage study was recorded in the meeting minutes; the discussion was left for follow-up by county leadership.
