Richland County EMA Director Joe Petrycki has resigned.
RichlandSource.com reports, the county commissioners approved the resignation effective on Sunday and said Petrycki, who worked for Mansfield Police for 25 years, has found a job in the private sector.
He was Richland County EMA director for 11months and saw a winter snow storm of nearly a foot and tornado in June that caused widespread power outage and damage across the county. There is no plan to name an interim director as the search for a new director gets underway, as Richland County will use mutual aid from neighboring counties.
