Davidson County appoints Ron Sink to Parks & Recreation and approves ambulance billing reclassification
Summary
The board appointed Ron Sink to the Parks and Recreation Commission and approved a reclassification of four ambulance billing/collections positions (and creation of a shell consultant position) at an estimated recurring cost of about $12,700; the board approved both items by voice vote.
The Davidson County Board of Commissioners filled a Parks & Recreation vacancy and approved personnel changes in the county's finance department.
Parks and Recreation reported that a board member had resigned after accepting a job, and the Parks & Rec committee recommended Ron Sink to fill the vacancy. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the appointment by voice vote.
Finance staff presented a reclassification plan for ambulance billing and collections. The proposal would reclassify three existing billing/collections positions and one collections position into a single new job title, "ambulance billing and collections technician," and place the positions at a higher pay grade (grade 65) with cross-training across billing and collections duties. Staff also asked the board to create a shell position for an "ambulance billing and collections consultant" to allow recruitment and transition of the supervisor into that role. Finance estimated the total cost of the reclassification and related salary/benefit changes at about $12,700 (approximate, total baked-in cost).
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about supervisory duties, internal reporting (positions would report to the finance director) and fairness of pay ranges. The board approved the personnel changes and the shell position by motion and voice vote; staff said the supervisor duties would be redistributed among the reclassified positions and future hiring would fill the consultant slot.
Both items were carried without recorded roll-call tallies in the meeting transcript.
