The Cass County Board of Supervisors held their regular weekly meeting this past Wednesday morning. Cass County Auditor Dale Sunderman reports a Certificate of Appreciation was presented to retiring Secondary Roads employee Craig Meyer for his 23 years of dedicated service to Cass County. In other business, the Board discussed whether or not a speed restriction or limit should be placed on a portion of roadway known as Troy Road and Cass Street, south of Griswold. The matter came about as the result of complaints from some residents and others, with regard to dust being kicked-up.

Part of the roadway is inside the City limits, while the other is outside. County Engineer Charles Bechtold has stated a new engineering study of the roadway is not needed. Sunderman said the Griswold City Attorney has prepared an amendment to the City Ordinance to set the speed limit at 35 on its part of the roadway. The County has been requested to adopt a similar speed restriction on its part of the road. The Supervisors agreed to take the issue under advisement.

In the final order of business, Wednesday, the Board approved the abatement of tax (in accordance with Iowa Code) on four parcels now owned by the City of Massena. The move also absolves the City from any penalties and interest collectible.
