<br /> October 8, 2021 Mayor City Address <br /> Re: Cass County Joint Powers Election Agreement Dear Mayor, Cass County greatly appreciates the strong partnership we have with municipalities and school districts for the administration of elections. These partnerships have been successful for many years and we have every confidence they will remain so for many years to come. Enclosed you will find a draft agreement between Cass County and the City of <br />(name). The intent of this MOU is simply to memorialize the largely informal agreement between Cass County and municipalities and school districts for the provision of election-related services. You may be aware that former Cass County Auditor/Finance Director Mike Montplaisir retired earlier this year. Mike was an election resource and source of <br />institutional knowledge not only for Cass County, but also for many municipalities, school districts and other counties. Prior to Mr. Montplaisir’s retirement he encouraged me to formalize these agreements. The enclosed draft Joint Powers Agreement is an attempt to do just that. Brandy Madrigga is the new Cass County Finance Director. She leads a dedicated staff and I have every confidence the Finance Office will continue to provide exceptional support in all phases of the election process. The Cass County Commission will consider adoption of this JPA at the Board meeting on October 18th. Please provide any feedback or questions you have about the MOU prior to that date. If the County Commission approves the draft JPA, an updated version, including a signature page will be provided to all municipalities and school districts the County partners with for election services. <br /> Cass County hopes to finalize these agreements as soon as possible, but no later than December 31, 2021. If you have any questions – or would like a representative of Cass County to address your Board related to this MOU, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br />Thank you, <br /> Robert W.
