The Lexington Planning Commission met Feb. 10 and conducted routine business, approving the meeting agenda and prior minutes before discussing a local sign-permit compliance issue.

Commissioner Gloria Murphy moved to approve the agenda as presented; Chairperson Bautch seconded, and the motion carried, 5-0.
The commission noted the January 2026 building permits report; staff said there was no discussion on the permits.
