Commissioners appoint EMA director, plan VSO replacement and post cemetery part-time job
Summary
The board appointed Kyla Dale as emergency management (EMA) director pending background check, accepted the part-time veteran service officer's (VSO) resignation and directed staff to advertise the VSO vacancy, and approved posting for a second cemetery part-time position (budgeted).
Scott County commissioners addressed several personnel items.
EMA director: After interviewing multiple applicants, the board voted to appoint Kyla Dale as the EMA director; the appointment is subject to standard post-offer checks (background check and drug test). One commissioner opposed the appointment on the grounds that the EMA director should reside locally for rapid emergency response; the vote to appoint Kyla passed 2-1.
Veteran service officer: Commissioners were notified that the part-time veteran service officer (Tom) submitted a resignation effective mid-September. The board authorized advertising the VSO part-time vacancy and directed staff to begin the recruitment process.
Cemetery staffing: Commissioners approved posting for a second part-time cemetery worker. Commissioners confirmed the position was already budgeted in the county payroll lines and asked staff to proceed with posting and recruitment.
Commissioners said the EMA appointment and all hires are conditional on background checks and the usual employment steps; they asked staff to finalize job descriptions and advertise openings promptly.
