Cass County board reorganizes leadership, retaining treasurer

The Cass County board opened the meeting and moved quickly through its annual reorganization, nominating and approving officers for the coming year. A member nominated a candidate for president; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The chair then nominated Rick for vice president; that motion also passed by voice vote.

The board also voted to retain Tony Key as the board's financial advisor/treasurer after discussion about keeping the position unchanged. "I'll make a motion that we retain Tony Key as our financial advisor," a member said, and the motion carried after a voice vote. The clerk moved to approve the minutes from Dec. 9, 2025; the motion passed.

The actions taken were procedural appointments and standard approvals to set leadership and administrative records for the board into the next calendar period. No contested nominations or roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript.
