Committee appoints county administrator Trish as acting EMS director until a contractor is secured
Summary
After a brief closed session on EMS personnel matters, the committee appointed the county administrator (Trish) as acting EMS services director until a contracted provider can be put in place; the appointment was approved by voice vote.
Following a closed session to discuss ambulance department employment and performance matters under Wisconsin law, the Richland County Executive Finance Standing Committee reconvened in open session June 23 and appointed the county administrator, Trish, as acting EMS services director until a contracted provider can be secured.
The committee made the appointment in open session. A motion to appoint the administrator as acting EMS services director until the county secures a contracted provider was made and approved by voice vote. The committee chair said staff would provide the “right wording” of the appointment in writing to the county clerk and administrator.
Committee members also asked for contact information for immediate operational communications; a phone number was provided for the county chief so that the EMS chief’s contact is available 24 hours per day. The transcript does not include the text of any employment agreement, compensation change, or any other administrative detail beyond the temporary appointment and the request for contact information.
The committee’s action was administrative, temporary and contingent on securing a contracted EMS services provider; the committee did not supply contract terms or a timeline for selecting a provider in the open transcripted discussion.
