The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing on the construction permit application for the Marron 5 Hogs site in Section 19 of Red Deer Township and received no public comments. The board voted to recommend approval of the permit to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Board members moved and seconded the motion to open the hearing and then to adopt the recommendation resolution. A county staff member noted that the master matrix was redone by local staff and that questions about the matrix should be directed to the county planner. Supervisor Stecker moved the recommendation; the roll‑call vote was recorded in favor and the motion carried.

The board formally closed the public hearing and adopted the recommendation resolution by roll call. The action forwards the proposal to the Iowa DNR for final agency review and permitting. The board recorded the resolution as passed during the meeting.

No members of the public who appeared identified substantive objections at the hearing. The board’s action was procedural: it sends the county’s recommendation to the state agency charged with final approval.
