A new emergency management coordinator to serve only Washington County has been hired.

The Washington County Board of Supervisors officially acknowledged the hire of Marissa Reisen at their meeting Tuesday. Chairman Richard Young said there were 13 applicants, six of which were interviewed. Reisen will begin in Washington County July 10th. Washington and Keokuk counties had a sharing agreement for the current emergency management coordinator position, but Washington County elected in December to end that agreement. The Washington County only position will have a salary of $45,760.
