Summary

The Fiscal Court approved hiring Sandra Spalding as a full-time EMT at $18.62 per hour, pending hiring requirements, and heard that EMS building lock system is complete amid a complaint about access for a community group.

Spencer County Fiscal Court on March 3 approved hiring Sandra Spalding as a full-time emergency medical technician at a starting rate of $18.62 per hour, pending completion of standard hiring requirements.

Esq. Stump moved to approve the hire and Esq. Pharris seconded; the motion passed by voice vote with Esqs. Cotton and Eldridge absent. During the discussion, Esq. Pharris asked Mr. Klinglesmith whether the new lock system on the EMS building had been completed. Klinglesmith said the lock system was installed but acknowledged a complaint from a member of the Ladies AmVet group that they could not gain access for a meeting. Klinglesmith said he would ensure the group had access on meeting nights and that the department preferred not to distribute the door code broadly. A meeting attendee identified as Rob said he caused the complaint by declining to provide the code and described the response he received as unprofessional.

The court recorded no additional personnel actions at the meeting; the hire is contingent on the standard hiring requirements noted in the motion.
