The commission approved a conditional-use permit (CUP) for a trap range at the residence of Mike Vassimer. The minutes record the CUP includes a change to operating hours to seven days a week from sunup to sundown and authorization for an additional berm to be used for pistol and rifle shooting. The minutes state the berm must be inspected by Sheriff Blackwell before operations proceed.

Commissioner Davis moved to accept the CUP; Commissioner Hockemeier seconded. The minutes record the motion as carried with "Commissioner Tracy all in favor. Carried 3-0."
