(Atlantic, IA) – The Cass County Board of Supervisors held a regular bi-weekly meeting this (Tuesday) morning, in Atlantic. During their session, the Board discussed bids from the July 15, 2025 Iowa DOT letting for a road resurfacing project. They heard from Cass County Engineer Trent Wolken, who said there were four for the N-28 (690^th Street) project, near Cumberland, from Highway 92 to the County line.

The bid of slightly more than $2.84-million from Blacktop Service Company out of Humboldt, was slightly higher than the engineer’s estimate, Wolken said. Wolken said he understands the timing of the project (harvest season, isn’t the best)…

Following discussion, the Supervisors awarded the project contract to Blacktop Service, and passed a Resolution to that effect. Wolken provided the Board with an update on various, ongoing Secondary Roads Department projects.

The Cass County Supervisors approved a FY25/26 wage for Sheriff’s Office Assistant Mandy Parks. The Board had overlooked paying the adjusted wage at an earlier meeting. The Board then discussed issuing a County credit card to new landfill (Cass County Environmental Control) Director Chris Jahnke, and approved the card for his use. Supervisor Steve Green…

They passed also, a resolution designating voting representatives for the Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC). And, since Cass County Treasurer Tracey Marshall was not available to present her report for the quarter that ended June 30, 2025, the Board tabled discussion about the report, until they could hear from Marshall, and ask questions if necessary. Commenting on Marshall’s written report, Supervisor Pettinger said, however, “It looks good. It looks like we’re in good shape.”
