An emergency management official now working in Everett is in line to replace Bob Hamlin as the director of Jefferson County’s Department of Emergency Management (DEM).
The Jefferson County commissioners today will consider approval of an employment agreement with Lynn Sterbenz, who was “the top pick from a field of 15 candidates,” said County Administrator Philip Morley.
Her salary would be $75,509 annually plus benefits.
Commissioners will consider the hiring as a part of their consent agenda during their regular meeting at 9 a.m. today at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St.
Hamlin will retire Dec. 31, after leading the Jefferson County Department of Emergency Management for 17 years.
