The Washington County Quorum Court ratified four conditional‑use permits (CUPs) recommended by the planning board and approved the consent agenda during its meeting.

The CUPs ratified were:
• Silver Lining Ballooning (item 12) — an applicant‑operated commercial hot‑air ballooning operation on approximately 4 acres with a quarter‑acre launch pad; the planning board had unanimously recommended approval. Justices passed the ordinance on final reading by roll call, 14–1. Justice Ricker moved to pass; Justice Dean seconded.

• Rivercrest Orchard / Magar Farms (item 9.1) — a century‑old farm operation seeking a CUP to add a kitchen and grill as part of seasonal farm operations on roughly 60 acres; the ordinance was moved by Justice Ricker and carried 14–1 on roll call.

• Hmong Community Event Center (item 10.1) — a community facility to serve the Hmong community, proposed in phases (metal building, restrooms, later a commercial kitchen); the court moved the item through all readings and passed it by roll call (unanimous by those voting).

• Urban Steel (item 11.1) — a welding and metal‑work business requesting a CUP for a metal building and gravel parking, planned to employ up to seven people; the court approved the CUP by roll call, 14–1.

Several justices asked who would enforce CUP conditions; staff and other members responded that enforcement is handled through county processes and that the sheriff’s office enforces county ordinances (a point that generated some exchange on the record about enforcement responsibilities).

The court also approved two appointments to the law library board (Kristin Commander and Caitlin Shulk) and passed the consent agenda (several budget amendments and grant recognitions) without separate roll call for each item.

Action summary: Each of the four CUPs was ratified by the quorum court and the consent agenda passed. Detailed roll-call outcomes are listed below.
