The Cass County Board of Commissioners approved its consent agenda by roll call and took three additional actions on motions from the floor: budget adjustments for jail repairs and fire safety, an adjustment related to the Eagle Materials Management Planning Program grant, and a change to the board’s August meeting schedule.
Vice Chair Lawrence moved to approve the consent agenda (M‑98‑2025 through M‑104‑2025) by a single roll call vote; the motion passed with all commissioners voting yes. The roll call recorded the following affirmative votes: Commissioner Langley; Commissioner Lawrence; Commissioner Northrop; Chair Jones; Commissioner Grace; Commissioner Marchetti; Commissioner Ferrera; Commissioner Lee.
The board approved a motion described in the meeting as M1052025 to authorize budget adjustments for jail repairs and fire safety upgrades. The motion was seconded, and passed by voice vote; no roll call tally was recorded in the transcript. The meeting record notes the board adopted the adjustment and commissioners remarked it was needed.
Separately, the board approved budget adjustments for the Eagle Materials Management Planning Program grant (referred to as M1062025). That motion passed by voice vote after a motion and second; the transcript records the motion as approved but does not provide a roll call vote or per‑member tallies.
On scheduling, Commissioner Marchetti introduced a motion — later amended and approved by voice vote — to set the board’s regular August meeting for Thursday, Aug. 7, 2025, and to hold the Committee of the Whole on the third Thursday (Aug. 21, 2025). The motion was amended on the floor to clarify the regular meeting and the Committee of the Whole dates; the amended motion passed by voice vote.
No votes in the transcript were recorded as failing or tabled. Several motions were approved by voice vote without a roll call tally; where the transcript did not provide numeric vote counts the board’s outcome is recorded as “approved” and the transcript‑available details are noted as not specified.
