Commission approves two emergency communications hires; starting dates and pay set
Summary
The commission approved two PCNs for the emergency communications center: Jessica Aldridge to start Aug. 17 at $20.61 per hour and Melissa Leggett to start Aug. 16; commissioners discussed commuting and training requirements.
Emily Yates, director of emergency management communications, presented two personnel change notices for dispatch hires and asked the commission to approve the appointments.
Yates said of the first candidate, "we would like to start her on August 17 at a 13 a at $20.61 per hour," referring to Jessica Aldridge, who does not have prior dispatch experience but passed required testing and background checks. Commissioners moved to approve the PCN effective Aug. 17.
The second PCN was for Melissa Leggett (transcript spelling varies); Yates said Leggett has some 9-1-1 dispatch experience limited to EMS work and is certified in emergency medical dispatch; the PCN was approved effective Aug. 16. Commissioners asked whether the hires would commute and noted additional training would be provided for law enforcement and fire dispatch duties.
