(Atlantic) The Cass County Board of Supervisors continued their discussions on the use of the American Rescue Plan funds at their meeting Tuesday.
The Board reported that they received an inquiry on whether the funds could be used to enhance the local/community food system and lower the dependence on external resources such as industrial meat processing. Recorder Mary Ward also reported a proposal was received from Cott Systems for ‘Hosted Online Index Books’ and the County Auditor reported a proposal was received from Cott Systems for “Auditor Land Transfer Online Book Project’ (combined projects cost about $200,000).
The board will act on whether or not to approve the proposals at next meeting. The board also discussed the possible use of ARP funds for courthouse climate control/HVAC improvements.
