Mollendorf said the tax sale is scheduled for Monday at 10 a.m. on the courthouse north steps. At the time of his report, 55 bidders were registered and 51 properties were slated for offering; staff are continuing outreach to owners to reduce the list and plan to post property addresses on the collector’s office Facebook page to help locate owners. He said law enforcement will be present and Pearl Street will be closed for the event. Mollendorf asked for volunteer “spotters” and thanked staff for heavy workloads preparing the sale.

On senior services, Mollendorf reported that about 9,900 households were enrolled last year; about 800 households have been removed from the rolls because people moved or died, and roughly 3,000 additional households have been newly enrolled so far. He said the county will change renewal mailings from postcards to formal letters with return envelopes to improve privacy and response rates. The hard open-enrollment deadline for seniors was given as Aug. 29 at 4:30 p.m.

Mollendorf also warned commissioners about ongoing litigation tied to a tax-credit program: he said there are three lawsuits, including two class actions in St. Louis and a challenge filed by Senator Michael Moon of Christian County. He recommended holding off on spending for a public-facing online portal until litigation clears. No formal action on the litigation was taken at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commission Meeting 8-20-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Collector Chris Mollendorf told the commission the delinquent real-estate tax sale is Monday at 10 a.m. with 55 registered bidders and 51 properties; staff is working to contact owners and hopes to reduce the list below 40.

Matt, county health staff, told the commission the county is contracted by the state to inspect licensed daycare facilities because the state lacks sufficient inspection staffing. Under the 2025–2028 agreement, staff reported performing roughly 87 inspections last year and receiving reimbursement of $130 for routine inspections, $75 for reinspections and $35 an hour for special circumstances. Commissioners voted 3-0 to approve the resolution.

The commission also approved a separate agreement to allow the county to inspect summer food service and at-risk after-school programs. Matt said the state reimburses up to $1,000 if the county completes about 90% of inspections it requests; last year the state sent fewer than 10 inspection requests, so workload is typically small. That resolution passed unanimously, 3-0.

No one from the public addressed these items during the meeting. The agreements cover routine inspection responsibilities and modest reimbursements; commissioners did not identify additional staffing changes or program expansions in the discussion.","The commission approved agreements with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services for county staff to perform licensed daycare inspections and summer food program checks, with reimbursements for inspections outlined by staff; both measures passed 3-0.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6788605,"Cass County approves aluminum box culvert bids for Fergus and Cleveland roads",79,44705,123850,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5613693-cc063bfb0bdbb37568bb34f3874db817&start=44&end=123","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5613693-cc063bfb0bdbb37568bb34f3874db817/thumbnail_44705.jpg","/articles/6788605/Cass-County/Missouri/Cass-County-approves-aluminum-box-culvert-bids-for-Fergus-and-Cleveland-roads","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6788605-5288d05ec1234554858fe44ad49b4a5c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771182297&Signature=Tm~Rp-Zngh5laU6qzSGihAW-EvkcfU6eigegSNhrldKJ9fdA3B74sSmO0tWyk0yWeAe1M-oGNVLScMEyxAbGvdyk52jwgElNS4ZtEMQTVlrckxUNf9eNChsojrBXRviHtJLV4gPBWNhe58bxPB~OwD-ygaWmizm9E1GlwRGPpzgGPAliqZuCjYIlyqGQ9Yi5xkBx729g3jFRqZGbszVUhZuFvq3LlbmfDOR-KuOKMK51pvOLqOhuM7rxV2fZxyta2yrTiskDp1kQTljdsluv2bZohdHbGqHhlIt4rGJsw7X7sxnoCgiNinMkuxTp7B4tdV4HJ91PFbniDOoQmVZfpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cass County Commission approved two resolutions Aug. 20 to accept bids for aluminum box culverts on Fergus Road and Cleveland Road.

For Fergus Road, the commission accepted the bid from the faster-delivery vendor despite a roughly $6,400 higher cost on an approximately $83,000 contract. County staff told commissioners the preferred bidder could deliver in three to six weeks versus 12–14 weeks for the alternative, and noted earlier availability would allow crews to begin work sooner. The motion to accept the recommended bid passed unanimously, 3-0.

For Cleveland Road, staff recommended Polyfab because its turnaround time was shorter and the price difference was not material to the county’s schedule. Commissioners approved that bid, also on a 3-0 vote.

Both items were presented during the commission’s routine infrastructure consent business. No members of the public spoke on the culvert items during the meeting. The commission did not identify additional funding sources or schedule start dates during the discussion; staff indicated readiness to proceed once materials arrive.","The Cass County Commission on Aug. 20 approved two resolutions accepting bids for aluminum box culverts on Fergus and Cleveland roads, favoring faster delivery times despite modest cost differences; both motions passed unanimously, 3-0.","actionData","errors"]
