A familiar face has joined the Iola City Council. Wicoff was one of two Ward 2 residents seeking the seat, alongside Iolan Chi Wiggin. With children and grandchildren living in Iola, Wicoff said he appreciated the opportunity to serve again, “to make this town the best it can be.” Council members voted, 4-3, to appoint Wicoff, with Nich Lohman, Jon Wells, Kim Peterson and Joelle Shallah in support, and Mark Peters, Jeremiah Ivy and Doug Kerr opposed. ONCE WICOFF was seated, Council members tabled a pair of significant decisions.
