The Supervisors passed a Resolution approving the Second-Tier Certification (Canvass) of the Nov. 4, 2025 City/School Elections in Cass County. Cass County Engineer Trent Wolken provided an update on Secondary Roads Department maintenance and activities.

He said they’re wrapping up some pipe projects, and Wolken updated the status of the bridge by Massena.

Cass/Guthrie County Environmental Health Director Jotham Arber provided the Supervisors with a monthly report. And, the Board discussed, but took no action on reinstating a Compensation Board. Their general consensus was that there was no interest or intention in doing so at this time. Supervisor Wendy Richter…

The move means more work for the Supervisors before the budget process gets underway, but it’s a job they are willing to take on.
