The Cass County Board of Supervisors are expected to act on a few matters during their meeting 9-a.m. Tuesday, at the courthouse, in Atlantic. According to the agenda, the Board will act on approving an agreement for additional GIS (Geographic Information System) services. During their meeting last week, Cass County Auditor Dale Sunderman said an employee who was performing some GIS along with other duties, has moved, and the new employee will not be performing those GIS services. Therefore, the County is planning to contract for those additional GIS services. Representatives from Schneider Geospatial (already under contract for other GIS services) and Midland GIS Services presented proposals, which were taken under advisement.

The Board will also act on a Conservation park roadway project funding request. Conservation Director Micah Lee and two Conservation Board members reported last week, on a proposed project to asphalt the roadway at Cold Springs State Park, south of Lewis. The project is estimated cost about $109,000. Lee and the Conservation Board members requested assistance from the County to help fund the project. They suggested the project be paid for with 50% conservation funds and 50% from a ‘general fund’.

And, the Cass County Board of Supervisors will act on approving the County Employee handbook, in addition to hearing regular reports from various Department Heads.
