The Cass County Sheriff’s office reports an Anita woman was arrested last Thursday, following an investigation into an accident. Authorities say at around 11:30 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a single-vehicle accident at Richland Road and Main Street in Massena. Upon arrival, deputies found a 2002 Ford Escape in the ditch.

The owner and driver, 42-year old Michelle Lynn Namanny, of Anita, was not injured. Damage to her vehicle was estimated at $4,000. Upon further investigation, Namanny was arrested on a charge of OWI 1st Offense. She was also cited for Failure to Maintain Control. The woman was brought to the Cass County Jail where she was released the following day on her own recognizance.

A public hearing will be held Wednesday morning in Atlantic, with regard to a change in zoning classification. The change affects a parcel of land (Parcel H of the northeast 1/4, northeast 1/4 of Section 9) in Noble Township, and if approved, would rezone the land as Light Industrial instead of Rural Residential. Zoning Administrator Rich Hansen told KJAN News Corey Sindt is looking to move his automotive repair business into Lyman, from the rural area. There were no objections to the plan at an earlier Zoning Board meeting. The hearing takes place at 8:40-a.m. as part of a regular meeting of the Cass County Board of Supervisors.

The Board will also review and possibly act on approving a “Regionalization” of the Mental Health Transition Plan, the aforementioned zoning classification change, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Department changes, with regard to GIS services.

The Board of Supervisor’s meeting begins in their Board Room at the Cass County Courthouse, at 8:30-a.m., Wednesday.

The City of Atlantic’s Planning and Zoning Commission will meet this evening in the Council’s Chambers at City Hall. On their agenda under “Old Business,” is a letter of transmittal from the City Council with regard to the vacating of an alley, and a review or setting of the timetable for a final Zoning Ordinance Review/Update.

The meeting begins at 5:30.

Sheriff’s officials in Audubon County report a Kimballton man was arrested Monday evening. 47-year old Denver Duane Hansen was taken into custody on a Simple Assault charge, following an investigation into an incident that allegedly occurred at his home, Saturday.

The Atlantic Community School District’s Board of Education will be held this evening at the high school, due to several scheduling conflicts that prevented the meeting from being held on Monday, as would normally have been the case.  The Board will gather in the Media Room at the high school beginning at 7:30-p.m. Superintendent Dr. Michael Amstein says on their agenda, is approval of: General Education/Special Ed contracts; other contracts and/or Letters of Assignment

Amstein says they’re trying to finish finish-up the hiring process for the upcoming school year. Josh Rasmussen will provide a recommendation for the FCS – Family and Consumer Science – position at the Middle School. He says last year they had position open, but just couldn’t fill it.

The Board will also act on Volunteer Coaches positions and any Resignations. They’re also expected to act on approving: The contract with Superintendent Dr. Michael Amstein for the 2014-15 school year, and the 1st reading of a new policy with regard to Honorary Diplomas.

Amstein said there was a request made to the Board for that, and since there was none in-place, that topic is up for discussion and possible action. The Atlantic School Board will talk about their financial planning program assumptions for Fiscal Year 2015. Prior to adjourning for the night, the Board will enter into a closed session for a formal evaluation of Superintendent Amstein.
