The commission approved meeting minutes and the 2026 land-use submittal-deadline calendar, and staff updated commissioners on local development (Keepers 42-unit project), a potential TA grant for trail connections, an entrepreneurial conference and an upcoming preliminary plat for a monastery site.

The commission approved administrative items including minutes from Oct. 13 and adopted the 2026 land-use submittal-deadline calendar after a motion and voice vote.

Commissioners asked staff to share conference information and to monitor the upcoming monastery application. The meeting recording stopped after brief closing remarks.
