TITLE: Minutes
DATES: 1861-
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by date of meeting.

DESCRIPTION: These minutes record the actions of the county commission (known before statehood as the county court), the governing body of the county. The court managed all county business and county property including auditing all claims, appropriating money for salaries and authorizing the purchase of supplies and services. The court allocated water rights, timber rights, herdgrounds, and mill sites; supervised the lay out of roads and bridges; and oversaw the erection of public buildings. Members levied property taxes for county purposes and after 1878 served as a board of equalization. They created election precincts, road districts, school districts, and by 1871, irrigation districts and appointed superintendents of such districts. The court provided for elections, appointed other officials, and accepted official bonds; bond lists appear at the end of the first two volumes. The court provided for the maintenance of the indigent, insane, and incapacitated. They provided for the health and safety of their constituents. They regulated fences, created estray pounds, and were in charge of fisheries. They authorized liquor licenses, and by 1884, general business licenses. All these activities are noted in the minutes.
