Osceola County supervisors approve active-shooter guidelines, claims payments and appoint ambulance interview team
Summary
The Osceola County Board of Supervisors approved active-shooter guidelines, authorized claim payments (including Boswell Water Service claim #735), approved the low procurement submission with one abstention, and named an interview team for the ambulance coordinator vacancy.
The Osceola County Board of Supervisors handled several administrative items and votes during its meeting, including adopting active‑shooter guidelines, approving claims and naming an interview panel for an ambulance coordinator vacancy.
On a policy matter, the board approved active‑shooter guidelines that staff and ICAP reviewed. The motion to adopt the guidelines came from Schulte with support from Loring and passed by voice vote.
On financial business, the board approved payment of claim number 735 to Boswell Water Service and then approved the remainder of claims by voice vote. Earlier in the meeting a board member moved to approve the lowest submitted quote on a procurement item (referred to in the discussion as submission #22); the motion passed by voice vote with one member abstaining, who said they were "too close to it." The transcript does not record detailed roll-call tallies for those voice votes.
On personnel, the board discussed procedures for interviewing applicants for an ambulance coordinator position. Because Sandy (the staff contact) was temporarily unavailable, the board agreed to name an interview team and later confirmed the committee: advisory-board members Ty Schultz, Don Scholberg and Berlin Kenninger, plus Sandy Smith and board representative Jerry Helmers. The board approved that committee by voice vote.
Other procedural items included a brief recess to allow drainage‑district meetings to conclude and routine discussion about wellness incentives and pending insurance updates. The meeting adjourned after the personnel appointment and routine business.
