The Cass County Board of Supervisors will meet 9:00-a.m. Friday in the Boardroom at the Courthouse in Atlantic. On their agenda is action on extending a joint agreement between Cass and Montgomery Counties, for an Engineer. Cass County Engineer Charles Bechtold was approved as interim Engineer for Montgomery County, when Brad Skinner resigned last April as the Montgomery County Engineer. The original agreement between the counties was for 60-days.

The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors have been looking for a full-time Engineer ever since. They recently interviewed three candidates, but the Montgomery County Board has yet to act on a successor to Skinner.  It’s possible, if Cass County approves, Bechtold’s contract could be extended for another 30-to-60 days. His services are needed by Montgomery County, for signing off on paperwork and other administrative duties.
