The Cass County Board of Supervisors have passed a Resolution calling for the securing of a loan to refinance the purchase of a County-owned building across the street from the Courthouse. Their action today (Wednesday) will save the County about 2.5-percent in interest and approximately $8,000 over the course of the initial loan. The move followed a public hearing during which there were no written comments or members of the public in attendance.
Supervisors Gaylord Schelling and Mark Wedemeyer mentioned most the persons who asked questions about the loan were in favor of refinancing once they learned it would be saving the County some money.
In other business, Cass County Engineer Charles Marker updated the Board on current projects, which include the lining of some rusted out pipes located under paved roads. One of the pipes is located under County Road G-30 [Airport Road], by Indian Creek. Another is located under G-43 just west of N-28, or west of Cumberland. The third is the Canby Road south of Anita, toward the Adair County line.
Denco Construction out Mingo worked on those projects with assistance from the Secondary Roads Department. Work is currently underway putting bags under the liners in preparation for the pouring of concrete, or flowable mortar, between the liner and old pipe. Afterward, it’s a simple matter of grading the inlets and outlets for the pipe. Marker said lining the pipes is much more cost effective than tearing up the road to replace the pipe and long lasting.
Marker says Cunningham-Reis, out of Van Meter, is working on installing the components for a new bridge on the Cass County Landfill road. And, a pre-construction meeting with A-M Cohron is slated to take place next Tuesday week with regard to the Griswold Golf Course Bridge project. The anticipated start date for the project is August 3rd.
Immediately after that meeting, a pre-construction meeting will be held with PCI, out of Minnesota. They’re the contractor responsible for work on the Troublesome Creek Bridge northeast of Atlantic. Marker says they are tentatively expected to begin work on the project at the end of this month.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. (AP) – Authorities in Nebraska say two people, including a woman from Pottawattamie County, have died in a rollover accident near Beaver Lake in Cass County, NE. 22-year-old Jeremiah Ferguson, of Omaha and 21-year-old Kelsey Leclaire, of Council Bluffs, died Tuesday.
Authorities say a 2006 Volkswagen GTI Hatchback went through a stop sign at a Highway 75 intersection and struck an embankment. According to the Cass County Sheriff’s Department, the vehicle went over a fence before it landed upside down in a bean field.
Cass County (NE) Sheriff William Brueggemann said a local lawn care service noticed tracks and debris and found the vehicle, which was not visible from the highway. Brueggemann said speed was likely a factor in the crash.
