The commission approved two proposed billboards on a ~0.99-acre commercial site near Hamilton Fort, subject to zoning and building-code compliance; applicant confirmed signs will meet county size limits and lower posted height from 40 to 35 feet to comply with code.
- Personnel actions (various departments): Approved.

Notes on votes and procedure
Most votes were approved by voice vote with no roll-call tallies read into the record. Several agenda items included staff presentations, and the land-use ordinance and transportation-plan updates were taken after public hearings (no public comments were recorded at those hearings). The Pleasant Hills filing followed staff recommendation and coordination with the assessor and recorder offices.
