The Cass County Board of Supervisors will meet Friday at 8:30-a.m.  On the agenda for their session at the courthouse, is canvassing of the votes from Tuesday’s School Board Election. The Board will also discuss filling the vacancy position of County Attorney.

Cass County Attorney David Wiederstein resigned from his position in August, effective Jan. 1st. He did so after the Supervisors voted to make the position full-time. Cass County Auditor Dale Sunderman says whether a person is appointed or elected, the term will expire at the end of 2018. The position for the next four-year term beginning in January 2019, will appear on the 2018 Primary Election ballot.

If the Board chooses to appoint a county attorney, the public would have a 14-day window after appointment to submit a petition for a special election to fill the position. In other business, the Supervisors will act on approving a Resolution approving with Crow River Construction, contracts and bonds for a gray water transmission project, with regard to the Elite Octane Ethanol Plant project. And, a resolution approving an Easement Review and Purchase Agreement to acquire an easement for a gray water transmission pipe to cross railroad property of Hawkeye Land Company.
