Spencer County approves EMS personnel changes, authorizes ambulance bids and an emergency repair
Summary
The fiscal court approved EMS personnel adjustments (one employee moving to part time and a part-time paramedic pay rate), authorized bids for a Type 1 ambulance, and approved an emergency repair of an ambulance for $4,685.60.
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved several EMS-related items, including personnel changes and vehicle procurement steps.
Court members accepted a personnel slate that moved Yusef Aloy from full-time to part-time and added Steven Cousins as a part-time paramedic at $18.70 per hour. "I'll move to make the, presented personnel changes as presented on this exhibit," one member said before the motion (moved and seconded), and the court voted in favor.
The court also approved an emergency repair for an ambulance with a motion that carried: the repair amount was recorded as $4,685.60. Members discussed procurement for a new Type 1 series ambulance, noting manufacturer lead times of 18–20 months and rising prices; the court authorized putting the bid/purchase process in motion and discussed budget implications (the ambulance line was cited around $158,000, while projected price estimates ranged up to approximately $215,000+ depending on configuration). Members debated 4-wheel drive versus savings from gasoline-powered options and asked staff to examine financing and bid timelines.
Court members instructed staff to bring back purchase-order language and specific budget obligations at a later meeting; no final purchase order was issued at this session.
