Gary Albrecht resigned Monday as the second executive director of the Johnson County Joint Emergency Communications Center.

Albrecht went on medical leave last week for undisclosed reasons, and he officially announced his resignation Monday evening. The resignation took effect March 23.

Albrecht began his position as executive director on Jan. 3, 2011, and he will receive his salary of $79,825 until June 30.

Tom Jones, associate director and information technology manager — who served as interim director before — will serve as the interim director once again. Communication-center officials said they have not made any plans to hire anyone at this time.

Albrecht is the second communications-center director to resign in the last two years.
