The Cass County Board of Supervisors are set to act on approving an Information Technology Services agreement and the purchase of vote tabulation equipment. Their action comes during the Board’s meeting scheduled for 9-a.m. Tuesday, at the Cass County Courthouse.

Approval of the IT Services agreement with Solutions would mean the arrangement would continue a contract already in place, and it would be effective Jan. 1 2014 through June 30, 2014. Approval of a new Unisyn Voting Solutions Precinct-based system is needed, according to Auditor Dale Sunderman, because the current voting equipment is out of date, is heavy and hard to move. The new equipment is certified by the United States Election Assistance Commission.

In other business, the Board will act on authorizing a $20,000 down payment for the newly purchased property at 707 Poplar Street. The funds will be derived from the Local Option Sales Tax Fund (LOST). The Supervisors will also act on approving a Resolution for a public hearing with regard to the vacating/closure of a portion of 644th Street in Section 14 of Grove Township.

Their meeting begins at 9-a.m., Tuesday.
