Commission to weigh Wyoming Department of Transportation deal for Snow King fire-detection cameras
On Oct. 20, commissioners are set to vote on a no-rent agreement with WYDOT to mount county fire-detection cameras on Snow King Mountain and use space inside WYDOT’s communications building.
Teton County commissioners on Oct. 20 are set to vote on a telecommunications sub-lease with the Wyoming Department of Transportation to install a county-operated fire detection camera system at WYDOT’s Snow King communications site Snow King agreement packet. The draft agreement is a 10-year term (Aug. 1, 2026 to July 31, 2036), with no rent so long as the existing tower remains operational. It would allow county equipment for two pan-tilt-zoom cameras on the tower at 62 feet, plus a 2-foot by 2-foot mounting board inside the WYDOT equipment building for a modem and cabling. Staff say WYDOT offered to host the system at no charge, and recommend approval.
The item is listed as an action matter on the Board of County Commissioners agenda meeting agenda. The public record provided with this packet does not show an earlier commission action on this Snow King communications agreement.
