The Starke County Commissioners welcomed a new Starke County Emergency Management Agency Director Monday night.
Jean Nier will be filling the position as unanimously approved by the commissioners. Commissioner Kathy Norem noted that the position will be full-time.
“I think the commissioners would like to offer her a full-time position as our EMA Director,” said Norem. “When we looked at the parameters that the council established for us I think we could start her at $33,000 with another $1,000 after 90 days and another $1,000 after six months which would be a total salary of $35,000.”
Norem said Nier brings a lot of knowledge to the position.
“Jean comes to the job with more than six years of experience with half of it as a previous county EMA director and the other half as an employee working for the state Department of Homeland Security in this particular role.”
Nier will begin as the new Starke County EMA Director on Tuesday, Oct. 17.
