Commission appoints David Simpson as new EMS director
Summary
After interviews and committee review, the Greene County Commission appointed David Simpson as EMS director to replace Doug Hall, who resigned to focus on his excavating business; Scott Sargent was the other finalist.
The Greene County Commission appointed David Simpson as the county’s new emergency medical services director following interviews and a recommendation from the EMS board committee.
Commissioners and EMS board members praised both finalists; the commission chair said the selection was difficult and that both candidates “deeply care about this service.” David Simpson and Scott Sargent, both EMS employees, were present at the meeting. The commission said it conducted interviews during an earlier executive session and that the EMS board had pared a larger applicant pool to two finalists.
A motion to hire David Simpson as director was made and seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records the affirmative outcome but not a roll-call tally. Commissioners cited Simpson’s interview performance and fit with the board’s list of duties as reasons for selection. The departing director, Doug Hall, told the commissioners he is resigning to focus on his excavating business and to cultivate it for his son.
