The Teton County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 6 approved the appointment of Alyssa Collins to represent Teton County on the Teton County–Idaho Joint Housing Authority for a five-year term.
The action followed the withdrawal of an earlier appointee. The board had appointed John Unland on Dec. 23; Unland sent an email on Dec. 31 withdrawing his name “for personal reasons,” a commissioner said during the meeting. The board then received an application from Alyssa Collins and moved to confirm her appointment.
A commissioner described Collins as a long-awaited “banking member” for the housing authority: “She’s gonna be just a wonderful fit for that board,” the commissioner said. Collins is a vice president at the Bank of Jackson Hole and works with mortgage applicants and other clients navigating housing in the Teton region, meeting materials and the discussion at the special meeting said.
The motion to appoint Collins was moved and seconded and was approved by voice vote. Commissioners said “Aye” and the motion passed. The board then moved to adjourn.
No further discussion, public comment, or conditions tied to the appointment were recorded in the meeting transcript.
