The Cass County Board of Supervisors met Tuesday morning, in Atlantic. According to Auditor Dale Sunderman, during their session, the Board discussed a request from Montgomery County, to share the services of Cass County Engineer Charles Bechtold on an interim basis. Montgomery County Engineer Brad Skinner submitted his resignation to his Board of Supervisors during a special meeting on April 11th. Bechtold would serve in the interim position until a new Engineer is hired in Montgomery County, if the agreement were approved.

Since Bechtold was away from the County, Tuesday, and could not address the matter, it was tabled until the Board’s next meeting, April 30th. In other business, CABEDA/Valley Business Park Corporation members Don Sonntag and Keith Harlan requested the board not dispose of the Valley Business Park site.  They believe the site continues to have development potential. The request was taken under advisement.

A report was received from Cass County Conservation Director Micah Lee, who presented his 3rd quarter FY19 report of activity at county recreational sites (maintenance at Cold Springs, West Nodaway Area, T-Bone Trail, Pellett Memorial Woods and Outdoor Classroom) and the naturalist’s environmental education activities (143 programs were presented to 2,612 persons). And Cass County Veteran Affairs Executive Director Mitch Holmes gave report of 3rd quarter FY19 activity.  He said during the quarter 152 veterans received assistance for Federal VA benefits and/or local general assistance.
