The Cass County Board of Supervisors today (Wednesday) approved the appointments of two individuals to fill vacancy terms. Supervisor Chuck Rieken recommended the appointment of Jerry Hudson, of Lewis, to fill a vacancy Cass County Conservation Board.

Rieken said Hudson is retired from the Iowa DNR, welcome’s the opportunity to serve on the Conservation Board. When the next person’s term expires, the Supervisors will look at appointing  a female if one is available and wishes to become involved, so that the Conservation Board is gender balanced.

Hudson, who served 28-years as a DNR Fisheries Biologist, will fill the position through Dec. 31st, 2017. The Supervisors also approved a recommendation from Supervisor Duane McFadden, for the appointment of Kay Winston, of Atlantic, as Washington Township Trustee, with her term expiring Dec. 31st, 2014.
