Lyon County Emergency Communications Center Director Roxanne Van Gundy called her appearance before Lyon County Commissioners Thursday morning a “surreal day.”
Van Gundy’s appearance was in part to seek approval of bids from Evergreen Design/Build and Kansas Security for phase 2 construction of the county’s new Emergency Operations Center. When asked why the moment felt surreal, Van Gundy stated that as dispatchers, it can sometimes feel as though they are viewed as “secondary,” but that was not the case Thursday.
