News

August 16th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

The Cass County Board of Supervisors will once again discuss and take possible action on filling open positions on various County boards or commission. The Supervisors are set to meet at 9-a.m. Tuesday in their Boardroom at the Cass County Courthouse, in Atlantic.

First-up on their agenda, is a regular, Secondary Roads Dept. update from County Engineer Trent Wolken. That will be followed by action on appointing one person as the Board’s representative to serve on the Cass County elected officials Compensation Board. (Compensation Board recommends annual compensation of elected county officials: the auditor, treasurer, recorder, sheriff, county attorney, and supervisors.  This is a seven-member board with two members appointed by the Board of Supervisors and one member appointed by each of the five other elected officials.) Last week, the Supervisors moved to re-appoint Kipp Harris as member on the Cass County compensation board, for a 4 year term beginning 7/1/21.

Discussion, and possible action includes:

  • Filling a vacancy position of one Trustee and one Clerk for the Franklin Township
  • Filling a vacancy position on a list of persons eligible to serve on the Condemnation in Eminent Domain proceedings Board. The person must be a city/town property owner.
  • Possible action on appointing one person to the Cass County Conservation Board, to fill a vacancy for the term ending Dec. 31, 2022.
  • and, possible action on the use of funds from the American Rescue Plan [ARP] (Pandemic relief), as related to proposals received to-date.  (Last week, the Supervisors discussed an e-mail from a Food Policy Council member, inquiring whether ARP funds could be used to enhance our local/community food system to enhance our self-sufficiency, i.e. lower dependence on external resources such as industrial meat processing. The board also discussed the possible use of ARP funds for courthouse climate control/HVAC improvements. )
