The Week Ahead

The Two-Week Ahead: A Victor Special Meeting and a Two-Day County Session

A Victor special meeting, a two-day county commission session, the Driggs budget and the state wastewater funding list fill the week ahead in Teton Valley.

By Valley Signal Staff ·

A Victor special meeting and a two-day county commission session anchor the week ahead, alongside the Driggs council and the Teton 401 school board. Victor convenes after canceling its regular date, and midweek the state is set to lock in the financing for the Driggs wastewater plant. The quieter second week brings a new state short-term-rental law and the county clerk's signature-verification deadline.

Monday, June 22 — the county commission, and a Tetonia hearing

The Teton County Commission meets at 9 a.m. in Driggs. The agenda carries public hearings on a gravel-crushing special use permit and the Golden Eagle final plat in Teton Reserve, written decisions on the Born-Mayberry rezone and a Teton Reserve plat amendment, and a contract award for a study of wildlife-vehicle collisions on county roads. The board also weighs its comments on the draft decision for the Grand Targhee expansion and takes up a third draft of the FY27 budget.

The Tetonia Planning and Zoning Commission holds a special meeting the same day to discuss the Temporary Use Permit for a Concert in the Ruby Carson Memorial Park on 7/8/26.

Tuesday, June 23 — a Victor special meeting, the Driggs budget, and the county's second day

The Victor special meeting starts at 9 a.m., a session the council called after canceling its regular June 24 date. The agenda carries disbursements, a vote on funding for a "Strategic Communication Plan," and a closed-door session with legal counsel on litigation. The city is the plaintiff in the wastewater suit against Driggs.

Driggs opens its FY27 budget at a 6 p.m. work session, the first review of the general, resort-tax, local-improvement-district, and incubator funds. The county commission reconvenes Tuesday at 9 a.m., the second day its amended schedule sets aside after each regular Monday meeting. The county Planning and Zoning Commission meets at 5 p.m. on proposed Land Development Code amendments, a family-land-division exemption and changes to the natural-resource-protection rules covering riparian corridors. The Teton 401 school board holds a public working meeting at 4 p.m. at the district office.

Wednesday, June 24 — the state funding list

Idaho's Board of Environmental Quality is expected to adopt the final Clean Water State Revolving Fund list that fixes the $25 million Driggs wastewater package. A drug-trafficking trial is set for June 24 and 25 in Teton County District Court.

The following week — a new rental law and a verification deadline

HB 583, the state law preempting local short-term-rental regulation, takes effect July 1, and Driggs has a conforming code rewrite to follow. The Teton County Clerk's deadline to verify signatures on the Reproductive Rights and Medical Marijuana initiatives falls around June 30.

What We're Watching

Two of the week's items carry weight for stories the valley has been following. The Driggs wastewater funding comes into focus around June 24, when the state's Board of Environmental Quality is expected to adopt the list that fixes the city's $25 million package. On Monday, the county commission takes up its comments on the draft decision for the Grand Targhee expansion.
