The Mustang County Board of Supervisors convened recently to address several key agenda items, including financial approvals and election-related matters.

The meeting commenced with the approval of the agenda, followed by the endorsement of claims totaling $1,022,541.84 for November 18, 2024. Both motions received unanimous support from the board members.

A significant discussion centered on the 2025 Family Farm Credit Applications. County Assessor Kelly Kroll reported that the signing period had concluded on November 1, and all submitted applications were recommended for approval. The board swiftly moved to approve these applications, reflecting a commitment to supporting local agriculture.

The board also reviewed the fiscal year 2024 urban renewal report, which included two urban renewal projects: SSAB and Van Meter. The report, prepared by second deputy Brandy Hark, is set to be certified to the state upon approval.

In a notable election-related decision, the board approved a recount for the U.S. Representative District 1 race from the November 5, 2024, General Election, following a request from candidate Bohannon. The recount will be funded by the county, with potential unbudgeted expenses if it occurs outside regular hours.

Additionally, the board addressed the second-tier canvas for the Louisa Muscatine School District's public measure QD, reporting a total of 2,111 votes, with 1,241 in favor and 870 against. The meeting concluded with no further actions required on this matter.

Overall, the board's decisions reflect ongoing efforts to manage county finances effectively while ensuring transparency and support for local initiatives.
