(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Board of Supervisors have a full agenda for their meeting Tuesday morning. Their session takes place at 9-a.m. in their Boardroom at the Cass County Courthouse.

The Supervisors are expected to hear a request for ARPA funds from Jason Rouse, with the Cumberland Fire Department. They are then expected to discuss a new employee or employees, in the Cass County Treasurer’s Office. You may recall, on April 29th, the Board  had a lengthy conversation with regard to a new hire and the hiring process. That issue had been brought about after the Board of Supervisors previously approved hiring an employee as a Driver’s License Examiner at $18 per hour, a lower rate than what was requested by Treasurer Tracey Marshall.

Marshall had stated $18 per hour was not a proper wage for an employee in the Treasurer’s Office. The Supervisors stated that their biggest issue was that Tracey did not follow the proper hiring procedures. During the April 29th meeting, the Board agreed to hire Stacy Mueller, who at that time was a Dispatcher with the Cass County Communications Center. The sometimes heated discussion concluded with a motion to hire Mueller at $19 per hour with an increase on June 6^th pay to $20 per hour. Upon full certification her pay will increase to $22.25.

In other business, the Board will act on passing:

• A Rural Transit System Joint Participation Agreement with SWIPCO
• A Business Service Agreement with the DHS – re: Mediacom
• A Resolution approving ARPA funds for the Anita Child Care Center and Cass County Fire Association.

The Supervisors are expected to approve a cigarette, tobacco, alternative nicotine or vapor products sales permit to Hansen Valley Oil, Dollar General Store #20294, and 21st Century Co-Op. They will receive a weekly report as well, from Cass County Engineer Trent Wolken.
