The Montgomery County Emergency Management Director has been suspended without pay.

 

Commission Chair Robert Bever says that Rick Whitson violated a policy and that led to this decision.

 

Montgomery County has a procurement policy utilized for the acquisition of services, and Bever says that county departments are expected to follow the policy.

 

Whitson will be eligible to return next Monday, April 24th.

 

Additional items of discussion at the Montgomery County Commission meeting were a budget presentation from the 14th District Juvenile Community Corrections, as well as reports from Public Works and Jim Wright, and the County Health Department.
