The Goodhue County Board approved the creation of a communications captain position in the sheriff’s department during the April 16 meeting.
According to a document sent to the county’s human resources director and county administrator by Sheriff Marty Kelly, the person hired will be responsible for the county-owned radio system. He said this will eliminate some of the costs of contracts with private contractors. The captain also will oversee the dispatch center and attend related meetings, which Kelly said will reduce some of the overtime.
