The Muscatine County Board of Supervisors took several routine and substantive actions during its Feb. 10 meeting. The following lists each formal vote recorded on the agenda and the outcome.
- Agenda approval: Supervisors moved and seconded approval of the meeting agenda at the start of the session; the motion passed by voice vote (all ayes).

- Utility permit — Windstream Iowa Communications LLC: County staff presented a permit request from Windstream Iowa Communications LLC to place a cross connect and a stub pole at the intersection of Highway 70 and 230 First Street and to replace some hardware. The board moved to approve the permit; the motion passed by voice vote (all ayes).
- Resolution 02-10-25-01 — 2025 Muscatine County comprehensive plan: Supervisor Jeff moved and Supervisor Scott seconded adoption of the comprehensive plan, with a staff-recommended correction clarifying that an existing moratorium applies to commercial wind energy conversion systems. The board approved the resolution in a roll-call vote: Jeff — aye; Scott — aye; Danny — aye; Anker — aye.
- Dispositional costs against Lee Thompson: The board ordered dispositional costs totaling $1,888.03 assessed against property at 619 Monroe Street in Muscatine to be placed on the tax book, pursuant to a city animal-neglect case in which animals were seized and incurred humane-society and veterinary costs. The motion to allow those costs to be added to the property’s tax records passed by voice vote (all ayes).
- Approval of minutes (Feb. 3, 2025): The board approved the minutes of the Feb. 3 regular meeting as amended (correction to spelling of project manager Mike Nolan); the motion passed by voice vote (all ayes).
Procedural notes: Several of the items were approved by voice vote without roll call; the comprehensive-plan adoption was recorded by roll call. When motions were recorded without a named mover or second in the transcript, the minutes reflect that a motion and second were made and that the board voted unanimously.
