Other consideratons…
1- We have already received most of the budgeted property tax revenue for 2026 ($3,945,000 out of a budgeted $4,000,000).
2- The taxpayers will be giving us an additional $2.4 million annually going forward, with 2028 being the first year it is fully recognized.
Note: The county won't start receipting the sales tax collections till March. Hence, these numbers represent 10/12 or 5/6 of an entire year,
which I project to be $5.3 million on the sales tax and $1.5 million on the use tax.

What are your qualifications for the board for which you are applying ?
I have more than 20 years of experience working with business and government leaders to evaluate complex issues, weigh competing
interests, and support clear, defensible decisions. I also bring firsthand experience as a rural Cass County property owner who has recently
navigated zoning, surveying, subdivision, utility, and public-notification requirements. I would bring careful preparation, independent judgment,
and a practical understanding of how planning decisions affect property owners, neighbors, infrastructure, and future development.

What is your reason for wanting to serve?
I have lived in Cass County for more than 20 years, and I want to contribute to the county's future. I believe responsible planning should
respect property rights, support appropriate development, and consider the long-term effects on residents and communities. I would approach
each matter with an open mind, listen carefully to those affected, and work toward decisions that are fair, understandable, and in the best
interests of Cass County.

be reimbursed under this award. These monies may not be utilized to pay debts incurred by other
activities. The recipient agrees to obligate funds no later than the last day of the project period.
(Funds are obligated when a legal liability to pay a determinable sum for services or goods is
incurred and will require payment during the same or future period.) The recipient also agrees to
expend funds no later than the date identified in the “MBSGP Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO)”. (Funds are expended when payment is made.) Any funds not properly obligated and/or
expended will lapse. Any deviation from the approved award must have prior approval from the
DPS/OHS. The recipient shall fully coordinate all activities in the performance of the project with
those of the DPS/OHS. The recipient certifies that all expendable and non-expendable property
purchased funds under this award shall be used for approved project purposes only.
2. Award Adjustments: The recipient understands that any deviation from the approved award must
have prior approval from the DPS/OHS. No additional funding shall be awarded to a recipient
(unless specifically notified by the DPS/OHS of additional funding being awarded), but changes
from one budget line to another budget line may be possible if the request is allowable and within
the scope of the guidelines. Prior approval must be requested via the “Subaward Adjustment”
component of WebGrants.
3. Award Document Changes: In the event the DPS/OHS determines that changes are necessary to
the award document after an award has been made, including changes to period of performance or
Articles of Agreement, the recipient will be notified of the changes in writing. Once notification has
been made, any subsequent request for funds will indicate recipient acceptance of the changes to
