(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Board of Supervisors met this (Tuesday) morning and received a weekly report from County Engineer Trent Wolken, who mentioned the Secondary Roads Department is still working on delivering road rock for driveways in various districts, and are finishing those projects up, but he said that the supply is slow to come out of the quarries. Wolken also updated the status of work on various County Bridges.

Work Bridge 319 west of the landfill over Indian Creek is still on track to begin in June.

Wolken said also, he’s been talking with his employees about insurance enrollment, with the hopes they’ll get sign-ups finished by July 1st. The Secondary Roads Department Budget along with some others in the County, will need to be amended.

In the Supervisor’s Committee Reports, Steve Green mentioned SWIPCO (Southwest Iowa Planning Council) is looking to acquire some new buses with next year’s budget. Green was also impressed with how much the organization continues to grow and serve southwest Iowa.

Supervisor Mark O’Brien reported on an EMA meeting he attended. He said the new Communications Tower project has been delayed.

Board Chair Steve Baier quipped, “In this day and age of supply chain issues and everything else, I don’t think there is such a thing as a deadline.”
