The Cass County Board of Supervisors will meet Friday morning in Atlantic. During their 8:30-a.m. session, the Board will act on approving the regulations for “Radon Control Methods” as passed by the County Board of Health on Monday. They’re also set to act on approving a contract with SWIPCO (the Southwest Iowa Planning Council), for services necessary to carry out the formal adoption of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) for rural Cass County and the eight cities within the County. The Board had tabled the matter during their meeting last week, because the agreement was not ready.
In other business, the Supervisors will act on a Resolution appointing a person to serve a three-year term (beginning April 9th) as Commissioner of the Southern Iowa Regional Housing Authority (SIRHA). And, at 10-a.m., the Board is set to hear from Solutions, Inc., with regard to quotes for new computer servers and backups, or intelligent business continuity. Action to purchase the hardware and/or services, will follow.
The Atlantic Police Department reports two people were arrested Wednesday on theft charges. 21-year old Chelsea Rollins and 27-year old Joshua Batenhorst, both of Atlantic, were arrested on Cass County warrants for Theft in the 5th Degree. Batenhorst was also charged with Introducing contraband into a County Jail. Both subjects were being held in the Cass County Jail pending a court appearance.

An Atlantic man is in custody after allegedly attempting to rob the Casey’s east convenience store Wednesday night. Authorities say at around 8:50-p.m., Atlantic Police responded to a report of an armed robbery in progress at 1408 east 7th Street (The Caseys General Store). Officials say a man identified as 22-year old Brady Thomas Salberg, of Atlantic, had entered the store and demanded all of the money in the cash register.
Off-duty Iowa DCI Agent Shelby McCreedy noticed the incident unfolding, and notified people in the parking lot not to enter the store and to call 9-1-1. As the call was going out to officers, the agent then entered the store with her firearm and confronted the suspect while commanding him to drop to the floor. The suspect complied and was on the ground when uniformed officers arrived moments later.
An investigation revealed Salberg did not actually have a firearm in his possession, but had his hand in his pocket to make it appear like was armed. Salberg was brought to the Cass County Jail and charged with felony Robbery in the 2nd Degree.
