(Cass Co.) The Cass County Board of Supervisors, during their meeting Tuesday morning tabled action on two matters related to the County Auditor’s Office. First, they declined to accept the resignation of County Auditor Sara Harris. They then moved to tabled making an appointment to fill the vacant position. In April, the supervisor’s appointed Harris to fill the vacancy up to the November 8 general election. On August 31, Harris submitted her resignation.

There was talk of possibly bringing back long-time Auditor Dale Sundermen on an interim basis, but Board Chairman Steve Bair said given the current situation, it would be best not to fill the position in the interim, at this time. Supervisor Steve Green said he spoke with Kathy Somers about stepping-in part-time to handle paperwork if needed, but there are legal details that would need to be worked out before that can be given full consideration. Somers was nominated during the County Republican Convention, as their choice for Auditor. Her name will appear on the November 8^th ballot.

The Cass County Supervisors, Tuesday, approved the second half payment of ARPA funds in the amount of $25,000 each, for the Wiota, Massena, Marne, Lewis, Griswold, Cumberland, and Atlantic Fire Departments. Funds had earlier been approved for the Anita Fire Department.
