A governing body meeting in Winnebago County approved a settlement agreement in a petition filed in the Iowa District Court in and for Winnebago County, case number EQCV018399. The settlement was presented after the meeting returned from closed session and the board moved, seconded and voted to accept it as discussed in closed session.

Speaker 2 introduced the agenda item as "Discussion with possible action regarding the settlement agreement" and explicitly identified the court and case number and named Tom Dilavue and Valerie Dilavue as parties. Speaker 3 moved to vote on the agreement and Speaker 2 stated a motion "to accept the settlement agreement as discussed in closed session." When asked whether the terms should be read into the record, the group replied, "No." Speaker 4 requested that the party names be stated on the record.

The motion was recorded as made and seconded and passed with affirmative responses in open session. Participants then discussed logistics for signing and transmitting the agreement, including arranging a copy and confirming the date to be placed on the document (participants referenced December 23 and times around 9:00–9:50). One participant asked for the document to be sent to them for signature.

The meeting record available in the transcript does not include the settlement terms, a full roll-call vote, or details on any financial or injunctive provisions. Those specifics were not stated in open session.
