Summary
The court approved hiring two full-time EMTs starting Dec. 1 and four part-time EMTs to fill open shifts; starting hourly rates were read into the record and the court approved the hires by motion.
Scott County Fiscal Court approved recommendations to hire six emergency medical services (EMS) personnel to fill open positions, including two full-time hires and four part-time EMTs. County staff said the full-time hires — Angela Stanfield and Chris Perry — will start Dec. 1 with hourly rates read into the record; four part-time EMTs (Austin Nolser, Sarah O'Donas, Gavin Parker and Devin Thompson) were also approved with starting hourly rates noted.
County staff said the recommendations would fill two of three EMT vacancies approved at a prior meeting; a paramedic had recently resigned and two positions remain open. One magistrate disclosed a working relationship with a recommended hire and announced an abstention if the court considered a single omnibus motion; the court proceeded with a motion and voice vote and approved the hires.
The court recorded the motion and second and approved the hires; payroll and onboarding steps were left to staff to implement.
