An unidentified county speaker commended multiple county agencies and community partners for response and cleanup efforts after a recent snow-and-ice storm, saying the combination of snow and ice made cleanup "extremely challenging."
"Just to touch on the winter storm that we just experienced and we're still cleaning up from," the unidentified speaker said, noting children were off school and that public works staff told commissioners the cleanup was harder than usual. The speaker thanked emergency services, public works and transportation, the county administrator's office, aging and human services, recreation and parks, the sheriff's office, the State Highway Administration, contracted crews, the Department of Social Services, and community partners including WARM, the Mission, and 3 Oaks, as well as SMECO and the library for their roles.
The speaker added, "We're not out of the woods yet. There's it's still just the middle of winter. There's there could be more coming," and urged continued vigilance. No new county directives or emergency declarations were announced in the remarks.
