Notes: Several items had brief discussion in work‑session format before formal motions. The commission’s approval of the fee‑resolution request is a direction to the legislative delegation and does not itself establish fee amounts or authorize collection — specific fee schedules would require subsequent county ordinances if the state authorizes local acts.
Ending: The commission adjourned after briefly reviewing reports and confirming the next meeting date (March 10 in the same room at 5:00 p.m.).
