Spencer County approves vendor for national background checks and hires part‑time paramedic
Summary
Responding to a state law change, the fiscal court approved a vendor agreement for national background checks and also approved hiring Aaron Hudson as a part‑time paramedic. The background-check contract was described as a statutory compliance step and was approved by motion.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court approved a service agreement March 2 with a vendor to provide national background checks after county staff said state law now requires biannual national checks for certain employees.
A county staff member explained the statutory change and presented the vendor pricing structure (transcript references $29 for routine biannual checks and $34 for full preemployment checks). The court voted to enter the service agreement so the county can comply with the new requirement.
Separately, the court approved the hire of Aaron Hudson as a part‑time paramedic (starting pay given in the packet as approximately $19.20 per hour in the discussion). The motion to hire was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
Staff told the court they will implement the service agreement to ensure timely completion of national checks for current employees and new hires per the statute, and to track costs to the appropriate budget lines.
