Council approves EMS overtime transfer, probation hire and a Gas City Library appointment
Summary
Council approved an EMS overtime transfer to cover unexpected staffing gaps, authorized filling a vacant probation officer post effective immediately, and appointed Tracy Henkman to the Gas City Library board (term not specified in paperwork).
Several routine items on the Grant County agenda were approved by voice vote.
Grant County EMS requested a transfer from billing and medical director funds to cover overtime caused by maternity leave and a string of shift call‑outs. The EMS representative (Dawn) said recent months included many 12‑hour supervisory shifts that triggered overtime; council approved the transfer after brief questions about whether the spike was unique to this year.
The council also approved a motion to fill a vacant probation officer position in the certified court program, which works with drug and alcohol clients; the presenter (introduced as Mike Small) said the vacancy is immediate and the county would begin filling it this week. Council members discussed pre‑sentence investigation (PSI) work time (presenters estimated 3–6 hours per PSI) and statutory PSI requirements for higher‑level felonies.
Finally, the council approved the appointment of Tracy Henkman to the Gas City Library board. The paperwork circulated at the meeting did not specify a term; the council approved the appointment subject to the position’s required term.
