The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday, will hold an in-person and electronic meeting (Via Zoom) [Meeting ID: 138 870 131  Password: 012064 ], beginning at 9-a.m.  On their agenda is action on a Resolution assigning a county-held tax sale certificate to the City of Atlantic, and enter into an agreement to abate taxes, if Atlantic acquires ownership of the parcel (#303003963001000). The Board will also review and change the compensation rate for County Engineer Trent Wolken, following last week’s closed session for his six-month performance review.

The Board will act on entering into an agreement to compromise tax and abate interest, penalty and cost and assign tax sale certificates to private citizen on County Held Tax Sale Certificates for a parcel in Block 6, the 2nd Addition, in Cumberland. (More specifically: Certificates 2007-71 and 2018-118 S50’ N80’ of Block 6, 2nd Addition, Cumberland)

In other business, the Supervisors will act on a Resolution placing Stop signs at the intersection of 595th Street and Lansing Road. Last week, Jon Schwanke asked the Board to consider a stop sign or signs at the “Blind” intersection located at the top of a hill. It was noted the site had become a dangerous corner due to increased traffic associated with the opening of a new rock quarry. The Board concluded after considerable discussion last week, that a Stop sign is needed.

And, the Board of Supervisors will discuss the closing of a County Roadway at 570th Street and the I-80 underpass. The Iowa DOT plans to make I-80 a six-lane highway, which requires the closure of some underpasses. As an incentive, they are offering the County about $1.5-million dollars to close the road. After much discussion last week, including sharing of concerns from land owners and residents in the area, located both north- and south- of I-80, the Board decided to continue those discussions at future meetings, including the one set for Tuesday.
