Commission approves termination and hires Nicole Rediker as part‑time on‑call regional control officer

The county commission on an agenda item addressing personnel matters approved a request "to terminate" and then moved to hire Nicole Rediker of Trenton as a part‑time, on‑call secondary regional and control officer.

Steven Noel, who identified himself in the record as an IT technician, stated, "I'm going to approve the termination," and later moved, "I'm now going to approve the hire of Nicole Rediker of Trenton for part time on call as needed secondary regional and control officer at a pay rate of $25.70 effective 10/25/2025." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records multiple "Aye" responses but does not provide a full named vote tally for each motion.

Officials discussed the new hire's certification and training requirements. An unnamed staff member said the new hire must be "certified within 6 months" and that training opportunities occur roughly twice a year, which the presenter said will be used to meet the six‑month requirement. Staff also described an interagency agreement being drafted to define shared equipment and resources and noted that the hire will require initial training and supplies.

The record does not clearly state who was the subject of the termination request; the transcript includes the approval motion but does not attach a name or other identifying detail to the termination action. No additional personnel documents or reasons for the termination are recorded in the transcript.

The hiring motion included a clear hourly rate and effective date in the motion text. There was no recorded discussion of additional benefits, tenure, or probationary terms in the portion of the transcript provided. The commission proceeded to other agenda items after voice approval of the motions.
