Cass County Commission approves CDL training agreement to speed driver onboarding
Summary
The Cass County Commission unanimously approved Resolution 26-60 to outsource CDL training for Road and Bridge hires after staff said rising hiring volumes mean the county cannot complete all training in-house; commissioners voted 3-0.
The Cass County Commission voted 3-0 on Resolution 26-60 to approve a commercial driver’s license (CDL) training agreement for the Cass County Road and Bridge Department.
County staff identified in the record as Travis said the department has seen an influx of new employees and lacks capacity to complete all training internally, so the county will send workers to an external training program to accelerate certification. "We don't have time to do it in house," Travis said, arguing the outside training will be "quicker and more efficient." Chair called the change necessary to "get more guys in trucks on the road." The resolution passed by voice vote with three in favor and none opposed.
Commission records do not list the motion mover or seconder by name in the transcript. The agreement was introduced as an administrative measure intended to reduce time-to-deployment for road crews; specific vendor, contract length and cost were not specified in the meeting record. The commission did not solicit public comment on the item during the meeting.
