The meeting was called to order by Chairman Taylor at 8:30.

Larry Walrod discussed filing fees and other fees for Planning and Zoning to cover actual out of pocket costs to the County.  Larry said tax payers should not be expected to subsidize the cost for the rezoning of individual properties or special use permits which benefit only those individual property owners.
