Procedural notes: several agenda items were approved by unanimous voice vote without roll-call naming of individual movers/seconders in the transcript; where a roll call was taken the transcript records votes as shown above. The commission also directed staff and legal counsel to draft template agreements and waivers related to fire-protection coverage (Kanab City) but took no terminating vote on that contract at the meeting.
