Commission appoints 911 training officer; Emergency Services coordinator warns modular building needs demolition

Pendleton County Commission · December 16, 2025

Summary

The commission appointed Mandy Hutchison as the 911 Certified Training Officer, heard an $11,000 demolition estimate for a modular building at the General Services Center from Emergency Services Coordinator Rick Gillespie, and received EMS supplement requests totaling $39,904.50.

The Pendleton County Commission unanimously appointed Mandy Hutchison to the Certified Training Officer (CTO) position at the county 911 center following an executive session on Dec. 16. Commissioner Roger Dahmer moved for the appointment and the commission voted unanimously.

Rick Gillespie, the county's Emergency Services Coordinator, told the commission that a modular building at the Pendleton County General Services Center needs to be demolished to allow Mon Power to run power lines; he estimated demolition, selective tree removal and fill for parking at about $11,000. Gillespie said the county hopes to move the county OEM offices into new space in January.

Mike Alt presented third-quarter requests for EMS supplements and stipends totaling $39,904.50 and thanked the commission for past funding. The minutes record the submission of the requests but do not show a separate vote on those specific payments during this meeting.

The commission had entered executive session earlier to discuss an IT contract and 911 personnel matters and reconvened without recording any separate action from the session beyond the later appointment to the CTO position.
