The commissioners said that Alan Kyle of Ozark Metalworks in Theodosia redesigned the new county seal and completed the metal piece. The seal features a farm scene, water sports on the lake, fishing, county mills, wildlife and more. It says “Ozark County, Missouri.

The community feedback so far has been “awesome,” said Presiding Commissioner Terry Newton. Times photos/Jessi Dreckman
