The Cass County Board of Commissioners held their regular meeting on July 2, 2026. Key procurement-related actions included approval of a resolution (R-30-2026) authorizing a bond contract for the Banks and Lake sewer project in Porter Township, with an estimated project cost of $6.4 million and bond issuance of approximately $6 million to be repaid via special assessments on connected properties. The board also approved a budget adjustment for the Historical Commission and authorized a five-year renewal option for services with the accounting firm Yeo & Yeo following a prior RFP process. Additionally, the board approved the creation of a temporary assistant prosecuting attorney hourly pay classification to provide short-term prosecutorial support, with compensation capped at the county's current appointed attorney rate. This measure aims to address staffing shortages in the prosecutor's office and was passed with a six to two vote. Other discussions included community recognitions, updates from county partners, and public comments, but no further procurement actions were noted.
