DeWitt County EMA Coordinator has requested a change to his job description to better reflect other nearby counties. 

At Thursday night's DeWitt County Public Safety Committee meeting, EMA Coordinator Will Paveleck approached the committee to remove the in-county residence requirement from his job description. Committee Chair Tom Farris pointed out that neither animal control nor deputy sheriffs are required to live in the county.

After deliberation from the committee, they ultimately decided to grant Paveleck's request with the catch that he must live within 25 miles of the courthouse. 

Paveleck has been the EMA Coordinator since May 20th, 2024.
