Commission gave permission to hire Maxwell McCain and Garrett Scott as probationary firefighters; AMR reported October totals (145 page-outs, 61 transports, 4 helicopter transports) and a 3‑year accreditation.

Randy Haidt, Golden County Rural Fire Department and Emergency Management representative, asked the commission’s permission to hire two probationary firefighters. "I'd like permission to hire Maxwell McCain to station 960... that'll be 8 out of 15 spots as a probationary firefighter," Haidt said. The commission moved and seconded motions to hire Maxwell McCain and Garrett Scott to Station 960 in Prescott; both motions were approved by voice vote.

Earlier in the meeting, an AMR representative reported weekly and monthly call statistics. "Last week, there was 32 calls and 15 transports," the AMR representative said, adding October totals of 145 page-outs, 61 transports and four helicopter transports. The AMR speaker also said AMR was re‑accredited for three years after an inspection and that the state would perform an additional inspection on Tuesday.

The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript for these personnel approvals; both hires were approved by voice vote during the meeting.
