The DeWitt County Board has filled the vacancy of CENCOM Director.
The departure of Tony Harris from the DeWitt County 9-1-1 Center had been unfilled since about the middle of January.. DeWitt County Board Chair Joe Witte indicates Karen Clevenger will be taking over the positions of 9-1-1 Systems Manager, CENCOM Supervisor, and the Emergency Telephone Systems Board (ETSB).
Witte notes much of the discussion at the March County Board meeting was to discuss the details and structure of the position. While the ETSB will cover the majority of her salary, the CENCOM Board will be chipping in as well.
Since Harris' departure from the Animal Control Administrator position, he has been involved in the transition with new Administrator Grace Moore. Witte indicates while they are grateful for his willingness to help, it will not be the case for Clevenger's role.
Clevenger will begin in her position as 9-1-1 Systems Manager and CENCOM Supervisor at the end of this month. She comes to DeWitt County via many years in first responder experience in Champaign County.
