At its organizational meeting the Bremer County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 2606, described in the meeting as a construction-evaluation resolution relating to the construction of confinement feeding operations. Unidentified Speaker 5 introduced the resolution and told the board that, by adopting it, the county could challenge permits related to such operations.
During discussion board members said the resolution provides an administrative mechanism to raise objections to permits when appropriate. The transcript records Unidentified Speaker 5 summarizing the benefit: "This is something that we can now by doing this, this helps me. We can challenge any permit." No formal legal language or citation to state statute was read on the record; the board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript and voted by voice to adopt the resolution.
The board did not specify follow-up steps, reporting timelines, or which county office would lead any future appeals on permit decisions during the recorded discussion. Staff reference to implementing departments (county engineer or county attorney) was mentioned in general terms but not assigned as a formal follow-up in the transcript. Members agreed the resolution gives the county additional procedural authority; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Next steps: Resolution text, implementation steps, and any legal reliance on state statutes or administrative rules were not read into the record in the available transcript; verification of the final resolution language and the county's intended procedures is necessary for more detail.
