Cedar County updates EMS advisory council structure, names supervisor representative
Summary
The board approved a five‑member EMS Advisory Council with staggered four‑year terms and appointed Supervisor Barnhart as the board representative, with Supervisor Bixler as alternate.
Cedar County supervisors approved an updated structure for the county’s EMS Advisory Council during their May 26 session, setting membership, term lengths and an initial staggering plan.
The board voted to make the council a five‑member body consisting of one at‑large member, one Board of Supervisors member, one EMA/911 representative, one Public Health representative and one representative from local EMS services. Terms will be four years; the at‑large seat and the Board seat will serve initial two‑year terms so that terms subsequently stagger. The local EMS services will provide a recommendation for their representative.
Supervisor Kaufmann moved the reorganization; Supervisor Barnhart seconded the motion. The board unanimously appointed Supervisor Barnhart as the Board representative and named Supervisor Bixler as the alternate. The minutes do not record names for the at‑large, EMA/911, Public Health, or local EMS representatives.
The action updates how the county solicits and seats EMS‑related stakeholders on its advisory panel but does not, in these minutes, specify recruitment timelines or selection criteria.
