Cannon County may be looking at replacing Cannon County Emergency Management Agency Director Faye Morse in the near future. The State of Tennessee as well as local officials have complained numerous times about the inability to not be able to reach Morse about several matters.

The Cannon County Commission met Thursday and discussed the situation. One of the matters is that Director Morse allegedly continues to keep Emergency equipment at her private residence which is said to cause an inconvenience as well as other concerns should the County need to use the equipment.

Most of the equipment in question was awarded to Cannon County by Homeland Security Grants. There is no inventory however on record as to what all equipment Director Morse has, but it is known that there is a vehicle, along with some radios and some other heavy equipment that is on the private property and needs to be returned to Cannon County so that it can be stored on secure County property for all emergency responders to use in case of an emergency.

One of the trucks in question is to be shared in three different counties in the area as it was awarded to Cannon County to maintain in a three county district.

The motion was made and passed to send a letter by registered mail and also by regular mail directing Morse to return all equipment to be stored at the 9-1-1 Center by the next Cannon County Commission meeting.
