4/10/14 - There has been no official information since the announcement of 911 Dispatch Director Don Arbic's resignation last week, but public safety officials are being vocal about his outstanding performance in office. Arbic was the 911 director for Livingston County since 2009, and had worked in public safety for nearly four decades. County Administrator Belinda Peters sent out an email on April 4th announcing Arbic's resignation. This left many county and public safety officials confused, since Arbic had many ongoing projects and had not discussed any plans to retire previously. There has been no additional information from the county since then, but those who worked with Arbic says he was an outstanding and professional 911 director. Putnam Township Fire Chief Greg Amburgey called him an exceptional leader who will be very difficult to replace, and Pinckney Police Chief Jeff Newton says since coming to the area he has learned to respect Arbic for his knowledge and professionalism. Hartland Fire Chief Adam Carroll, Howell Police Chief George Basar, former Unadilla Police Chief William Cook, and County Commissioner Dave Domas have all spoken highly of Arbic since his departure.
