Crawford County conducts EMS interviews and appoints interim EMS director
Summary
The commissioners held multiple closed sessions to interview EMS candidates and appointed Randy Glessner as interim EMS Director via motion listed in the meeting motions; the executive sessions were held under K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(1).
Crawford County commissioners recorded a series of closed executive sessions April 10 to interview EMS candidates and later appointed Randy Glessner as interim EMS Director.
The minutes list multiple executive-session motions under K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(1) for EMS interviews. County Counselor Jim Emerson and EMS-related personnel attended the closed sessions at various times; named participants in the record include Randy Glessner, Micheal Burnett, Brett Hamblin, Jill Warford, Robert Spencer, Erin Taber and Cruise Main.
Motion 26-164 in the meeting motions list is recorded as "To appoint Mr. Randy Glessner as the interim EMS Director." The motions section of the minutes indicates motions related to EMS interviews and the appointment passed in the recorded motions block (motions list shows motions as passed 3-0 where recorded). The minutes also record additional special executive-session entries (motions 26 Special 172; 26 Special 173) for EMS interviews.
The minutes show no committee or public discussion in open session about the details of the interviews; the board reconvened in open session after each closed session with "no action taken except to go back into open session," except for the recorded appointment. The minutes do not provide candidate résumés, compensation terms for the interim role, or a timeline for a permanent appointment.
Next steps: county staff and the commissioners will proceed with the interim appointment and continue recruitment or staffing work as recorded in executive-session motions; the minutes do not specify a timetable for a permanent hire.
