E-911 addressing nears completion

County commissioners enter lengthy executive session

Joy Hampton

Claremore — County commissioners entered a lengthy executive session Monday to discuss the future employment of Vicki Atchley, the part-time county employee in charge of E-911 addressing.

Following the session, commissioners and Atchley agreed in the public commissioner’s meeting that the addressing will be completed within six months as the fiscal year comes to an end June 30. That will finish out Atchley’s service before next year’s budget when money is expected to be tighter than ever. Atchley is also continuing to train Shelly Epperson in the Emergency Management Office. Epperson will keep the addressing system updated after Atchley completes it.
