Commissioners to consider $25,000-a-year pledge for Congressional Tour
Teton County commissioners are set to consider an MOU committing Wyoming counties to fund the Congressional Tour at $25,000 per year statewide, with each county paying a proportional share.
Teton County’s Board of County Commissioners is set to consider joining a statewide Memorandum of Understanding that commits Wyoming counties to chip in a combined $25,000 per year for the Congressional Tour initiative, with each county paying a proportional share based on the Wyoming County Commissioners Association dues formula Congressional Tour Initiative Memorandum of Understanding.
The county’s record shows commissioners previously approved a Memorandum of Understanding for the Congressional Tour Initiative on May 3, 2022 Official Summary Proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners, Teton County, Wyoming. The current MOU text does not spell out Teton County’s exact dollar share, so the practical budget question is what that proportional invoice would be when it arrives.
