Cass County adopts 2026 Capital Improvement Plan with small levy increase
Summary
The Board approved the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan and five‑year forecast, increasing the levy contribution from $900,000 to $927,000 to account for inflation and noting state funding limits for major capital projects.
Chief Financial Officer Becky Toso presented the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan and Five‑Year Forecast. She reported the proposed levy contribution for the plan increased from $900,000 to $927,000 to account for inflation and noted limited state funding assistance for large capital projects including the planned transfer station reconstruction; no public comments were received during the brief hearing.
Chair Bob Kangas moved to approve the 2026 Cass County Capital Improvement Plan with the Five‑Year Forecast; the motion carried unanimously. Board members acknowledged that while the levy increase was appropriate, it may not be sufficient to meet future capital needs and staff will continue to evaluate financing during the budget cycle.
The adoption authorizes staff to proceed with the plan as presented and carry the levy contribution into the 2026 budget process; the Board asked staff to continue monitoring capital needs and funding opportunities.
