The Okanogan County Board of Commissioners moved to disallow further fairgrounds rental waivers, with two narrow exceptions: waivers already approved before the vote, and the annual Christmas basket‑building event.

The motion, introduced during a discussion of the fairgrounds budget and recent waiver requests, was seconded and carried on a voice vote recorded as "Aye." The board instructed the fairgrounds manager to apply the new waiver policy until further notice and to respect waivers already in place.

Commissioners discussed related operational questions, including the role and duties of the site camp host. County discussion noted concerns about people using camp host status without performing the responsibilities typically expected, and commissioners directed the fairgrounds manager to follow established hiring and approval procedures for any camp host or other onsite roles.
