County presents Teamsters contract and ambulance-standby agreement; no final votes recorded
Summary
The CEO described a tentative Teamsters Local No. 2 contract with two 4% wage increases and a $1,000-per-individual health-insurance contribution; Chief Crawford described an ambulance standby agreement to cover four home football games at Mitchell Stadium. Commissioners expressed support; the transcript records presentations but no final approvals.
The commission heard two operational agreements on the agenda: a labor contract framework offered to Teamsters Local No. 2 and other unions, and a memorandum-of-understanding-style agreement for ambulance standby during high-school football games.
The CEO said the contract offer mirrored concessions made countywide: a 4% wage increase in year one and another 4% in year two, plus an increased county contribution to individual health insurance of $1,000. "We got great people who do a good job," the CEO said, describing the deal as competitive and manageable for taxpayers. The county attorney had no comment on the terms during the meeting.
Chief Crawford presented the ambulance standby arrangement, saying the ambulance service and county staff had met with the school principal and athletic director and proposed staffing two ambulance personnel for home games at Mitchell Stadium; the county would cover wages for those attendants during the four scheduled home games. Commissioners thanked the ambulance service and described the school district as a community partner. The transcript shows discussion and public appreciation but no recorded approval, vote tally, or signature action during this meeting.
