Webster County EMS advisory council reopens coordinator posting, raises top salary to $85,000 and adds flex time
Summary
At its Jan. 7 meeting, the Webster County EMS Advisory Council voted to reopen the EMS coordinator job posting and amend the job description to raise the top salary to $85,000 and add negotiable flex time, clearing the way to attract additional applicants.
The Webster County EMS Advisory Council voted Jan. 7 to reopen the EMS coordinator job posting and amend the job description to raise the top salary to up to $85,000 a year and add negotiable flex time.
An advisory council member moved to reopen the posting and amend the salary and schedule; another member seconded and the motion carried by voice vote. "I would like to make a motion to reopen the EMS coordinator job posting, and amend the job description to raise the salary to up to $85,000 a year and add flex time to the schedule," the member said during the motion.
Council members said the change is intended to strengthen the candidate pool for a role the council discussed during a closed session on hiring. The council did not set a specific hiring timeline on the record at the meeting; members said the posting will be reopened and follow the council’s established hiring procedures.
The council’s motion did not include a precise start date for the new salary scale and described the flex schedule as negotiable. The chair summarized next steps after the vote: the posting will be reopened under the amended job description and the council will proceed with screening and interviews as allowed under county hiring rules.
The council held the closed-session discussion on hiring earlier in the meeting and returned to public session to record the motion and vote. The council did not publish a vote tally in the minutes; members approved the motion by voice vote.
