# Human Service Zone Board Meeting 10/5

The Cass County Human Service Zone Advisory Board meeting was held October 6, 2026. The board approved the August minutes (the transcript does not provide the motion or vote details) and recognized the Family Services team for receiving the 2026 Fearless Ruff Rider Team Award. Members discussed three board terms ending December 31 and possible recruitment from additional community sectors; the board plans to revisit membership in November. No board contract awards, bids, or spending approvals were identified. The operations update noted that the county building renovation is proceeding, though demolition work has caused some delay; exterior work was expected to begin soon, subject to weather. No renovation contract, vendor, or project cost was stated.

Staff also reported that the state has contracted with Human Services Group for discovery visits focused on SNAP payment accuracy and timeliness, including a two-day visit to Cass County. The work is examining processes and manual tracking; no contract amount or number was provided. The board received updates on administrative standards and state performance measures, adult protective services, staffing, and the ongoing renovation. These discussions did not result in additional procurement actions by the board.
