(KMZA)--Nemaha County's emergency preparedness director has an additional job title.
The Nemaha County Commission at their June 12 meeting approved the appointment Emergency Preparedness Director Eddie Aldrine to the newly created position of county Safety and Security Operations Director, effective June 21.
Aldrine will be paid $25,000 in the additional role. Commissioners say the salary is to be entirely supplemented by a grant. The salary paid each year will be determined by the amount of the grant.
Aldrine said in his new position he will oversee the installation of various security measures to the Nemaha County Community Building and other county buildings later on. The security measures will be tech devices like cameras and key card entry. He will also work on the County Courthouse security later.
In addition, Aldrine will be writing the "safety plans and procedures" that the state of Kansas requires for procedures for emergency events like floods or tornadoes or loss of power events for the safety of county employees and visitors to the county buildings.
In other business, the commission accepted the resignation of Joseph Dalinghaus as Marion Township Clerk. On the recommendation of the remaining members of the Marion Township Board, the commission approved the appointment of Tyler Dalinghaus to the position.
