The Public Safety Commission heard about further updates from interim Dispatch Supervisor Nikole Bennett.
The commission approved the appointment of Nikole Bennett as the Dispatch Communications Officer at the rate of $65,000 per year annual salary, exempt.
Bennett will work in dispatch less than 20 hours per week and will work in the supervisory role the majority of the time. The Commission will work with Mike Galloway, Iowa Employment & Labor Law Attorney.
At the same time, Erin Bennett was removed as Assistant Dispatch Supervisor by a unanimous vote as Nikole Bennett is now established in her role.
The Commission also voted to remove Kyle Bissell as Dispatch Administrator.
“I think that is going to change and go to Nikole as communications officer. The duties will just be part of that role,” Shawna Crahan, Deputy Auditor and payroll/HR Administrator, said.
