The Cass County Board of Supervisors gave final approval for two murals to be painted on the Cass County Courthouse garage doors. Local artist Connie Boose will be painting the murals, one will have an eagle motif and the other a floral motif.

Boose originally came to the board with the idea on October 15th of last year. The board and Sheriff said they had no problem with the possibility at that time. Boose then worked to receive approval from the Ciry of Atlantic and the Community Promotion Commission for the project. The murals are intended to complement the art deco style of the courthouse.

The board also received a report on the CADCO Site and Business Committee as well as regular reports from the Clerk of Court, Sheriff, and Recorders offices.

ELDORA, Iowa (AP) — A man and woman accused of confining the man’s son in a basement in central Iowa have taken plea deals.

Hardin County District Court records say 31-year-old Alex Shadlow pleaded guilty Monday to kidnapping and two counts of child endangerment. Prosecutors lowered the kidnapping charge in return for Shadlow’s pleas.

His girlfriend, 40-year-old Traci Tyler, pleaded guilty to three counts of child endangerment causing serious injury. She was found guilty in April of misdemeanor false imprisonment.

Sentencings haven’t been scheduled.

Prosecutors say Tyler and Shadlow locked his 8-year-old son in a space beneath the basement stairs of their Ackley home for at least nine hours a day in summer 2017. The boy told authorities he slept on concrete, had no access to a bathroom and food was withheld.

The City of Audubon is moving forward on their water and sewer improvement plans after some decisions were made at the City Council’s regular monthly meeting on Monday.

City Clerk Joe Foran said part of the water improvement plan is to replace some meters so billing can sync up for everybody each month and a contract was awarded for that work.

Foran said they will be signing the contract with Building Crafts for the meter work within the next month and work will likely start within the next couple of months.

The sewer improvement plan is moving forward as they entered into an agreement with JEO for phase 2 of the Wastewater Collection System Improvements.

Some lining will be done to improve the sewer system with the grant money.

Foran also said the council passed a third reading of a city wide urban revitalization plan.

The Council also discussed some bus traffic flow changes at the elementary school and advertising for a Public Works Assistant due to a retirement in the department.
