The Cass County Board of Supervisors will meet this morning and Wednesday morning, in Atlantic. During their session at 9-a.m. today, the Board will canvass the results of the Nov. 7th City Elections. There were two ties for Write-in votes in Cass County last week. In each case, the Board will draw lots (Or simply pulling a name out of a hat). Their action will determine the third person elected to serve on the Cumberland City Council: Gary Cooper or Darrin Hardisty. Both men had 23 votes last week. Michael Martin and Mike Hill were elected to fill the other two seats.

And, in Wiota, there are three seats on the City Council. Jeff Lillard and Charles Bechtold won two seats. The third will be either Deanna Spry or Lamar Spies, who received two votes each during the election.

Tomorrow is the Board’s normal, weekly session which begins at 8:30-a.m. The only thing to note on the agenda, is an annual report and Fiscal Year 2019 funding request from the Cass County Library Association.
