Swearing In Ceremony

Judge Bill Lewis administered the Oath of Office during the January 9th Commission Meeting and I participated in my first Commission meeting.

I have attended many Commission meetings in the past but not as a participant. In fact, I discussed with someone last night there have been many previous meetings where it was only me and a reporter in the audience.

Praise God for giving me the ability to serve, to Governor Robert Bentley for appointing me and all of those people that have supported me in my effort to serve our community.

Travel Advisory

I attended a meeting on Friday at the Elmore County Operations Center where plans were discussed relating to preparations for bitter cold and possible ice and snow moving into our area overnight.

Elmore County EMA Director Eric Jones and County Engineer Richie Beyer and staff have been monitering the Winter Storm system moving through Elmore County all night and the Commissioners have received frequent updates throughout the night.

At 4:15 this morning Commissioners were informed by Eric and Richie that they have throughly canvassed the County since midnight and see no major issues on the County transportation system and will soon be lifting the Travel Advisory for County roads.

Please continue to be safe on all roads today and watch for isolated hazardous road conditions.

We are blessed to have these two men and their staff serving Elmore County and I appreciate all of their hard work.

Stay Warm today

Winter Weather Approaching

Elmore County is currently under a Winter Storm Watch beginning 6:00 a.m. Friday until 9:00 a.m. Saturday with the possibility of this being upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning as early as this afternoon.

Our County EMA Director and County Engineer work closely together anytime a storm is approaching to minimize the possibility of road closures and to distribute information to keep citizens informed and safe.

EMA staff is monitoring the approaching Winter Storms and will issue local travel advisories when needed.

Flooding everywhere this evening as we have all seen. This is what I found in my yard when I got home this afternoon. Just spoke with County EMA Director Eric Jones, his staff is monitoring the weather this evening. Please check www.elmoreema.com for local and regional updates.
