Stilson Transit Center deal sets five-year term, 90-day exit for town or county
Teton County commissioners will consider an operating agreement that would lock in a five-year term for the Stilson Transit Center, but let either the county or the Town of Jackson end it with 90 days written notice.
Teton County commissioners on Aug. 24 are set to consider the Stilson Transit Center operating agreement, a contract written for a five-year term but with a short fuse if either side wants out. The agreement says it would run for five years from its effective date, and that either the county or the Town of Jackson could terminate it “for any reason” with 90 days’ prior written notice.

That 90-day clause is the kind of escape hatch that matters in a joint operation, because it does not require a breach finding or a funding trigger. If commissioners approve the deal, the practical question to watch is whether staff describe any planned “effective date” timeline, since the 90-day clock only starts once notice is given under the executed agreement.
