BUCKHANNON -- The Upshur County Commission has named an interim director for the county's E-911 Center.
County Commissioners chose Office of Emergency Management director Jim Farry for the position.
Farry has been part-time OEM director for about three years and he will now do both jobs and work full-time, said commissioners.
Farry says he does not anticipate applying for the permanent E911 director job, but says he does have goals while he's the interim director. For example, he'd like to improve the relationship between the Office of Emergency Management and the E911 Center.
"Planning and developing some resource lists. And I want to make sure that that information is shared so that everyone is on the same page. I think that's critical," said Farry, Upshur County's new interim E911 director.
The county's former E911 Director, Louse Bleigh, resigned about two weeks ago at an Upshur County Commission meeting. A dispatcher was also fired at the meeting.
A permanent director could be hired in two or three months, said Farry. |
