Rowland for Supervisor

While recognizing the group effort and hard work required to complete successful projects, Vicki is pleased to have been a leader in these accomplishments during her first term:

• Secured new Backbone Area Mental Health Counseling Center in West Union

In addition, Vicki...

• Serves as President of the Northland Agency on Aging Board, where she defended continuing the Oelwein meal site,

• Completes Emergency Operations training for Fayette County,

• Is Fiscally Conservative. She helped lower taxes and raise the carryover balance, which had been the lowest among the 99 counties in the state.

• Helps to "watch the little things”— such as the hundreds of dollars that were being spent on “bandaids” with Cintas—and strives for the “big things” such as working with Sheriff Fisher to balance the jail budget and increase revenue of over $250,000.

• Called regular department head meetings during her two terms as chairperson.

• Increased Government Employee Accountability, by implementing an Annual Performance Review for department heads overseen by the Board of Supervisors.
