Scott County Fiscal Court voted to approve multiple personnel actions across county departments, including firefighter lateral transfers, an animal-control promotion with two new hires, an attorney hire recommendation and increases to part‑time EMS pay.

Jeff recommended two lateral firefighter hires effective Jan. 5: Tyler Sipes (starting pay $16.70/hr; more than 15 years’ experience) and Danny McGuire ($16.27/hr; previously employed 2021–22). The court moved and seconded the hiring action.

Cam told the court that attorney Erin Lociano resigned Nov. 7 and recommended hiring James Judge to begin Jan. 5. Cam said total compensation would be $104,185. He said the majority of the salary would be paid by the Unified Prosecutorial System; the county portion was estimated at either $43,735 or $30,123 depending on credit for years of experience, and final county cost would be confirmed after a PAC meeting.

In animal control, Jeff recommended the promotion of City Evans to animal control officer at $19.97/hr effective Dec. 20 and two new hires effective Jan. 5: Linda Reyes ($19.97/hr) and Elizabeth Green (animal care technician at $17/hr). The court approved the changes by voice vote.

On EMS compensation, staff proposed increases to part‑time pay to improve recruitment: EMT from $12.77 to $14/hr, advanced EMT from $14.50 to $16/hr, and part‑time paramedic from $17.69 to $20/hr (roughly 10–13% increases). A motion to approve the pay adjustments was made and seconded.

The court also agreed in principle to allow Georgetown Police Department paramedic participation on the SRT team but directed that a Memorandum of Understanding be drafted by Cam and city staff and returned for approval to define the participation terms.

Court members voiced appreciation for staffing efforts and supported the personnel moves as necessary to maintain services.
