Council Debates New Affordability Mix for 90 Virginian Lane Development, Agrees to Joint Meeting with County
The Town Council considered a new affordability mix, Option 1C, for the 90 Virginian Lane Affordable Workforce Housing Development. This option maintains 221 homes with a 70% rental and 30% ownership split, offering increased overall affordability and maintaining the public funding request of $5 million. While praised for providing greater affordability and product diversity, concerns were raised about reducing the number of homes for households earning less than 80% of median family income and for local workers. The council also discussed the project's procurement process, with public commenters alleging significant flaws and advocating for the project to be abandoned. Ultimately, the council decided to direct staff to seek a special joint meeting with the Board of County Commissioners to discuss Option 1C and other possibilities, including whether to proceed or not. The motion passed unanimously, indicating a need for further discussion and collaboration with the county.
Town Council to Formalize Working Agreements for Improved Meeting Governance
The Town Council discussed and directed staff to prepare a resolution regarding the council's working agreements. This discussion stemmed from a retreat where council members agreed to review these agreements more often. The current version includes edits suggested during the retreat and subsequent discussions. Key points of discussion involved clarifying the roles of the mayor in managing meeting flow, particularly distinguishing between question periods and discussion times, and ensuring that working agreements are actively used and upheld by all council members and staff. The council ultimately voted to have staff prepare a resolution based on the presented working agreements for future consideration, aiming to improve meeting conduct and accountability.
Town Council Approves FY26 Budget Amendment Number Four

This amendment included adjustments for various town departments and operations, such as vehicle maintenance, health insurance, the AV project related to Town Hall, and revenue projections. These amendments are part of a regular process to update the budget for accuracy and to account for previously approved items. The resolution passed unanimously with no public comment or significant council discussion.
Town Council Adopts Annual Fee Schedule with CPI Adjustments and New EV Charging Fees
The Town Council adopted the Town of Jackson's fee schedule for the upcoming fiscal year through Resolution 26-11. The update included a 0.6% Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment across most fees, with specific increases for bar and grill licenses phased in towards the state maximum. Several public works and planning/building fees were adjusted to account for administrative time, software, and ancillary costs. Cemetery fees were increased for market adjustment, and new fees for electric vehicle charging stations were incorporated. Building permit fees were kept flat pending a review of valuation methodology. The resolution was adopted unanimously after council review during budget workshops and a public hearing.
