After executive session, finance committee recommends $40,000 transfer to EMS salaries
Summary
Following an executive‑session discussion of a contractual matter, Williamsburg County’s finance committee approved recommending a $40,000 transfer from contractual services into EMS full‑time salaries and will forward the recommendation to full council for consideration Tuesday evening.
The Williamsburg County Finance and Budget Committee moved into executive session to discuss a contractual matter involving the county’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) department and, after returning, approved a recommendation to transfer $40,000 from contractual services into the EMS full‑time salaries line.
Chair introduced Interim EMS Director Anthony Hux before the executive‑session motion. "Mister Hux, on behalf of myself and the other members of county council... we want to thank you for stepping up in the interim capacity as the interim director for our EMS office," the chair said, noting Hux’s long service in the department.
The committee voted to go into executive session to discuss the contract and, upon returning, a motion to transfer $40,000 into EMS salaries was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. The chair said the committee will forward the finance committee’s recommendation to the full council for consideration at the scheduled Tuesday meeting.
No roll‑call vote with named tallies was recorded at the committee level. The transfer was described as an intra‑budget action tied to issues discussed in executive session; the transcript does not provide details of the contract discussed in executive session.
