Two people suffered what were initially described as minor injuries during a collision Tuesday evening, east of Griswold. Authorities say Heath Nordby, of Lewis, who was traveling south on 590th Street, failed to yield upon entering Highway 92. Nordby’s vehicle hit a westbound vehicle driven by Jacob Maass, of Griswold.

Nordby and Maass were transported from the scene to the Cass County Memorial Hospital by Griswold Rescue. Officials say Nordby was charged with failure to yield upon entering a highway and operation of a non-registered vehicle.

The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday, voted to set July 15th, at 8:35-a.m., as the date and time for a public hearing on the County’s intent to enter into a loan agreement not to exceed $360,000. Proceeds from the loan would be used to refinance the purchase of property (across from the courthouse) at 707 Poplar St., and to pay cost of roof repair.

In other business, Cass County EMA Coordinator Michael Kennon submitted a written request to update the membership of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), by adding additional members.The Board approved upon a motion, the appointment of additional LEPC members, which include: Jared Merkel, Chris Jimerson, Ryan Archibald and Ryan Askeland.
