The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Monday, passed a Resolution pertaining to the construction of livestock feeding operations.

The “Construction evaluation resolution,” or, “Master Matrix” as it’s commonly called, permits those counties that have adopted the Resolution to submit to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), an adopted recommendation to approve or disapprove a construction permit application regarding a proposed confinement feeding operation structure, and the ability to contest the DNR’s decision regarding such matters, if a specific construction application approved by the Board, is denied by the DNR.

The Resolution is acted upon annually by the Cass County Supervisors, and covers those applications received, evaluated and scored by the Board between February 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020.

Prior to the start of their regular session Monday afternoon, the Supervisors conducted a canvass of the Dec. 11, 2018 Iowa Western Community College Bond vote.

Their next regular meeting takes place Monday, Dec. 31st, unless an urgent matter requires their attention and action.
