The Cass County Board of Supervisors, minus Mark Wedemyer, met Friday morning in Atlantic, during a regularly scheduled session. According to Cass County Auditor Dale Sunderman, during the meeting, Dave Sturm, with Snyder & Associates, filed an eight application for partial payment on the URA Road paving construction project. The Board then motioned for and approved Manatt’s Inc. application for partial payment No. 8 on the Glacier-to Buck Creek-to Echo Road paving project, in the amount of $232,263.90.

County Engineer Charles Bechtold then reviewed current road projects, and the Board approved an application for a permit to display fireworks. The permit was granted to Ron Schroeder, of Lyman, for the display of fireworks on July 3rd.

Auditor Sunderman reported that a resolution for end of fiscal year budget considerations was necessary, and the Board unanimously approved a motion to adopt the resolution to “Amend Expense Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2017-18.”

An earlier Resolution (2018-019) directed that a loan in the amount of $350,000 be advanced for the funding of projects in the 2017 Cass County Agribusiness Urban Renewal Area to be repaid from future incremental property tax revenues to be derived from the Urban Renewal Area. The amended Resolution (2018-022) allows a county budget transfer adjustment (change in transfer/loan authority) for FY2018, as follows: Transfer $350,000 from “Fund 26000 Local Option Sales Tax Fund” to “Fund 34000 2017 Cass County Agribusiness Urban Renewal Area Capital Projects Fund.”  Resolution adopted this 29th day of June, 2018.

The Cass County Supervisors also conducted the second and final hearing and reading on proposed amendment to Ordinance 7. Hearing or receiving no objections, the Board elected to waive a third hearing, and to adopt amendment to Ordinance 7 by striking all text of current Ordinance 7-Veterans Emergency Assistance Program and replacing with new text.
