Summary

County HR told the board there are 15 EMS personnel actions (mostly new hires) following a bi-annual recruiting academy; Commissioner Davidson noted EMS-week events and a proclamation reading.

HR staff told the board during an EMS-focused session that there were 15 total EMS personnel actions on the agenda, a majority the result of a recent bi-annual recruiting academy. The personnel actions, which included two promotions, were reviewed by the auditor's office and HR and found consistent with budget authority and personnel-action guidelines.

"There are a total of 15 total personnel actions. All of them have been submitted for review by both the auditor's office and the HR to make sure they were consistent with the budget authority and personnel action guidelines," the HR staff member said. The board approved the personnel actions by motion and voice vote.

Commissioner Davidson gave an update noting EMS-week activities and that a proclamation had been read at community events.

Why it matters: the new hires and promotions reflect county efforts to staff EMS after a recruiting academy and relate to retention and service capacity for emergency medical services.

Next steps: HR and EMS will continue orientation and retention activities for new hires and monitor staffing levels.
