The Cass County Board of Supervisors are set to discuss speed limits and other matters pertaining to a roadway (including a portion of 620th Street), to and from the new Schildberg Rock Quarry, south of Atlantic. The meeting begins at 9-a.m., Tuesday (Sept. 15), and is available for viewing electronically.

During the Board’s meeting last week, three county citizens asked the Supervisors to consider what can be done to mitigate safety and environmental problems on roadway south of Atlantic due to traffic resultant of the opening of a quarry south of Atlantic west of Highway 71, on Lansing Road. After due discussion the County Engineer said he would meet with representatives of Schildbergs and look into establishing a lower speed limit on roadway which includes a portion of 620th Street.

In other business, the Board will act on establishing an amount in a Resolution requesting reimbursement from the Iowa COVID-19 Government Relief Fund, for eligible costs related to the COVID-19 public health emergency. They are also expected to act on approving a fiscal year 2019-20 Urban Renewal Report, and hear various department head reports, as available.
