Public commenter asks commission to require sheriff's office to provide traffic statistics
Summary
A public commenter asked the Cass County Commission to adopt an ordinance requiring the sheriff's office to provide traffic statistics, citing 2025 counts (1,384 total motor vehicle accidents), and asking the commission to place the figures in the official record.
During public comment, a speaker requested that the commission pursue an ordinance requiring the sheriff's office to provide traffic statistics to the commission and submitted figures for 2025.
The commenter reported "a total of 1,384" vehicle accidents in 2025, said the local agency handled 246 of those (44 were injury crashes) while the highway patrol handled 315, and asked the commission to put the data into the official record. The chair asked the speaker to email a copy and the commission agreed to include it in the official record; no formal commitment to an ordinance was made at the meeting.
The speaker asked that the data be emailed to the clerk for inclusion in meeting records; commissioners thanked the speaker and closed public comment with no further action on an ordinance at that meeting.
