The Cass County Board of Supervisors will hold their regularly scheduled meeting 8:30-a.m. Wednesday, in their Board Room at the Cass County Courthouse. On their agenda is one of two Public Hearings on an Amendment of the Veterans Assistance Program Ordinance, followed by approval of the first reading of the ordinance. The second reading will be held June 29th. The Board will also act on approving a fireworks display in an unincorporated area of the County, and the appointment of a Deputy Cass County Medical Examiner for the remainder of a term ending Dec. 31st, 2018. The names of two individuals who have moved out of the County will be removed from the list of candidates.

In other business, the Board will act on a Resolution to abate the tax on a property in Atlantic, and act on a Resolution for FY 2019 Expense appropriations. They’re also expected to receive certifications from County Officers for base salaries of their deputies and certify those base salaries, in addition to determining the compensation of “Other employees.” As time allows, the Cass County Supervisors will canvass the Primary Election recount results for District 3 Supervisor. The recount took place Monday (June 18th).

At one point during their meeting, the Board will enter into a closed session to discuss strategy with legal counsel, with regard to a civil lawsuit filed by a person who fell on County owned property in Atlantic. When they emerge and enter into an open session, it’s expected the Board will act on approving a litigated settlement agreement.
