Commissioners approved a lease with H.G. Violet for several ATVs and UTVs for Monday's eclipse. The vehicles will be used by emergency management in case an emergency response is needed. The vehicles would be able to maneuver through high-traffic areas easier than larger equipment. Commissioners say that the county is ready for Monday's eclipse.
