SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I am appointing Chief Joseph Conway as Deputy
Emergency Preparedness Coordinator. As you know in the past John
Raynor, who. is a radio operator, has held this position, but in working on
it the past two years, and with John's help rewriting, and the County and
so forth, rewriting our plan, and trying to bring it up to snuff, it does
not entirely make sense that in the case of an emergency that the person in
charge as a Deputy to myself is a radio. operator, who will have to give
orders to the Chief of Police, so most of your towns do have the Chief of
Police as your Deputy, and so Chief Conway was kind enough to say, yes,
he would serve in that capacity. We have also kept John Raynor because
he has served the community well in this capacity, and he is the one that
actually does the legwork, and keeping things on a balance, so he will be
appointed Joe's assistant.
