Cass County council approves minutes, 911 compensation and a small budget correction
Summary
At the Jan. 16 meeting the council approved prior meeting minutes, authorized a one-time 911 compensation payout of $6,184.25 for two positions, and approved a $1,291 budget reduction in the 2026 order with an internal reallocation to avoid impacting IT.
The council handled several routine administrative actions during the Jan. 16 meeting.
Minutes: Members voted to approve the minutes from the Dec. 12, 2025 meeting. Derek moved to approve the minutes and the motion passed.
911 compensation: Council discussed a one-time compensation payout for 911 staff related to personal days that could not be rolled over and confirmed the funds were budgeted. The total payout for two positions (identified in discussion as covering Tasha and another employee) was $6,184.25. Dean moved to approve the payment and the motion carried.
Budget correction: County staff reported that the 2026 budget order required a reduction of $1,291 in one line (affecting building, sheriff and IT allocations). The council agreed to lower the building allocation slightly to accommodate the change and avoid taking funds from IT; Cheryl moved to approve the recommended adjustment, seconded by Zenger, and the motion passed.
Ending: All motions carried; no further votes were taken on these items at the meeting.
