Iowa County officials reported positive developments during their recent meeting, highlighting the anticipated arrival of new vehicles for county operations. The county has placed an order for a Chrysler model, expected to be delivered by February or March, just in time for spring activities.

The new vehicles, which include the Dodge version of the Chrysler, will replace older models and enhance the county's operational efficiency. Officials expressed optimism about the delivery timeline, noting that the vehicles are crucial for maintaining services, especially as they prepare for the unpredictable winter weather.

In a light-hearted moment, members reflected on last year's harsh winter, which saw the county closed more days than it was open in January. This year, they are hopeful for milder conditions, which would allow for smoother operations and better road maintenance.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's proactive approach to managing resources and preparing for seasonal challenges, ensuring that they are ready to serve the community effectively.
