Board approves suspension of tax collection, winery license and minutes; agenda approved
Summary
At its March 24 meeting, the Muscatine County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution temporarily suspending tax collection, approved a change-of-ownership for a winery liquor license and ratified minutes and the meeting agenda in separate votes.
The Muscatine County Board of Supervisors on Monday approved a resolution suspending the collection of taxes and ratified several routine items, including a change-of-ownership for a winery liquor license.
The board approved Resolution 03242501, described at the meeting as suspending the collection of taxes. The vote was conducted by roll call and passed unanimously: Scott — aye; Jeff — aye; (name read by clerk) — aye; Danny — aye; Anker — aye.
Why it matters: Suspending tax collection is a formal, time-limited administrative action; the board took the action by recorded roll call rather than a voice vote.
In other formal actions, the board approved a new ownership application for a special class C retail native wine license and an outdoor service permit for Glass and Wines LLC, doing business as Arden Creek Vineyard and Winery at 2399 Independence Avenue in Letts, Iowa. The board took a motion and second and approved the license by voice vote.
The board also approved the meeting agenda and the minutes of the March 17, 2025 regular meeting in separate voice votes.
