DeKalb County Fire Chief Donny Green and Assistant Chief Anthony Boyd have been reappointed to serve for another year.
The County Commission Monday night confirmed the County Mayor’s appointment of both Chief Green and Assistant Chief Boyd. Members of the county fire department recently met and voted unanimously to make this recommendation to County Mayor Tim Stribling. The Fire Chief and Assistant Chief are appointed each year.
The County Commission also adopted a resolution to establish an updated Occupational Safety and Health Program Plan which sets out rules and regulations and provides for a Safety Director to implement the program which includes training of employees in the workplace within all county departments. The commission named Kristie Johnson, an employee of DeKalb EMS, to take on the role of Safety Director, a part-time position. The county already has funds budgeted to pay Johnson for the extra work at $100 per week.
