During a recent county commission meeting, the board convened to elect a new chairperson following the absence of Commissioners Bledsoe and Joplin due to conflicts. The meeting commenced with the clerk opening the floor for nominations. Jared Anderson was nominated for the position, and with no objections raised, the nominations were closed.

The subsequent vote resulted in 18 affirmative votes and one abstention, leading to Anderson's election as chairperson. The commissioners expressed their gratitude for the support shown in the vote, marking a new chapter in the commission's leadership under Chairman Anderson.
