Commissioners approve EMS supervisory pay change and four supervisory appointments

The Board of County Commissioners approved a $1 supervisory pay rate adjustment for EMS supervisors and certified four appointment slips at the Sept. 11 meeting; the board also certified one additional appointment for Jeremy Knowlton. Why it matters: The salary adjustment affects payroll calculations for EMS supervisory staff and the certified appointment slips formalize personnel changes. The county HR manager presented a request to change forms to reflect a $1 supervisory pay for EMS supervisors and to certify four appointment slips. Commissioners said the change will streamline payroll and help avoid miscalculations. A motion to approve the pay-form change and to certify the appointment slips passed unanimously. Later on the agenda a separate appointment motion certified Jeremy Knowlton—s supervisory appointment; that motion also passed by voice vote. Commissioners stated the change should have been applied previously and described the approval as a clerical and payroll correction rather than a new compensation policy to expand across other offices. The board did not vote to change supervisory pay for other county offices at this meeting.
