GEORGETOWN, Ky. — Scott County Fiscal Court on Aug. 28 approved staffing recommendations for the county’s emergency medical services and road department.

County staff recommended five hires for EMS: two paramedics (Madeline Kincaid starting Sept. 8 at $19.50/hour and Tab Jagger starting part‑time Sept. 8 and full time Sept. 29 at $19.45/hour), one EMT (Patrick Boykin starting Sept. 2 at $14.56/hour), and two part‑time hires (Emily Mather and Chris Perry starting Sept. 2 at $12.77/hour). The court approved the hires by motion and second, and voice vote.

For the road department, staff reported that a previously recommended candidate had accepted a counteroffer from another employer, prompting continued recruitment. The court approved the hire of an equipment operator, listed in the transcript as Bridal Rubocava, to start Sept. 2 at $25.76/hour; staff said the hire brings the department back to full staffing.

Why this matters: Restoring staffing in EMS and roads affects response capacity and infrastructure operations. The court approved the personnel actions by motion and voice vote and directed HR and department managers to proceed with onboarding.
