Rosebud County accepts two resignations and appoints AJ Barnes as Colster EMS director
Summary
The county accepted resignations from the Colster EMS director and the county road department secretary, and appointed AJ Barnes as the new Colster EMS director; the board voted on each item during its Sept. 9 meeting.
Rosebud County commissioners accepted two staff resignations and appointed AJ Barnes as the new director of Colster EMS during their Sept. 9 meeting.
The board accepted letters of resignation from Kyla, the Colster EMS director, and Don Buck, the county road department secretary. A committee member moved to accept both resignations; the board voted in favor. During discussion a commissioner asked about last dates — one speaker referenced an October date and there was a question whether Kyla's last day would be Sept. 30 — but the meeting record did not resolve or formally set final separation dates.
The board then moved to appoint AJ Barnes as director of Colster EMS. Supporters at the meeting said the transition should not disrupt service and that staff including Tyler would assist with the local operations during the changeover. The motion to appoint Barnes passed by voice vote.
The meeting record did not provide written resignation letters in the transcript, did not specify effective resignation dates, and did not include a full description of Barnes's qualifications. Commissioners said they would assist in ensuring continuity of service during the transition.
