Jackson County board approves Maquoketa Valley utility permits

Jackson County Board of Supervisors · August 5, 2025

Summary

Supervisors unanimously approved two Maquoketa Valley utility permits — a directional bore under Bernard Road and an overhead crossing on 370th Street — following a county engineer recommendation. Both motions passed by voice vote.

Don Swanker, chair of the Jackson County Board of Supervisors, opened the meeting and the board moved quickly through two utility-permit items recommended by county engineering staff.

Jayden from the county engineer's office described the first permit as a directional bore under Bernard Road to install a water line tied to a new cattle tank, saying the office "see[s] no issues on our end, so we recommend approval." The board approved that permit on a motion by a supervisor (recorded as "motion by Mike, second by Nin") and voted it carried.

The second item was an overhead crossing across 370th Street in Tatermore Township to deliver cattle water service. Jayden again recommended approval; the board approved the permit by voice vote. Both items were handled as routine consent motions with no extended discussion.
