Former 9-1-1 center coordinator Tony Harris has made his way across the street to the City of Clinton, leading the future of the role to possibly be changed.
At Thursday Night's DeWitt County Public Safety Committee Meeting, DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker stated they've reviewed the job descriptions of the positions that were both previously held by Tony Harris.
The position of 9-1-1 systems manager will report directly to the Emergency Telephone System Board. This will save the county money by ending the need for CENCOM to pay a portion of the salary.
The Lead Telecommunicator role will oversee the day-to-day happenings of the 9-1-1 center and will report directly to Sheriff Walker.
Also during Thursday night's meeting, the committee amended the job description of EMA Coordinator Will Paveleck to no longer require him to live in the county but rather within a 25-mile radius of the courthouse. This was done at his request.
The committee also reviewed the contract of J&M Critter Care to clarify some of the language. This is the team that cleans the Animal Control Facilities and feeds the animals on weekends and holidays.
