Calhoun County EMA/E911 director to retire; board asked to approve full‑time replacement
Summary
EMA/E911 Director Shane Voith told the county board he plans to retire at the end of July and requested approval to hire a full‑time successor; the board made no decision and continued budget workshop discussions.
Shane Voith, Calhoun County EMA/E911 Director, told the Board of Supervisors on Feb. 11 that he plans to retire at the end of July and asked the board to approve hiring a full‑time EMA/E911 Director to replace him. The board did not take action on the request at the meeting.
The notice came during a regular meeting at the Calhoun County Courthouse in Rockwell City attended by Chairman Dave George, Vice Chairman Cory Ridgely and Member Scott Jacobs. Voith’s announcement was given as the board conducted departmental updates and a continuing budget workshop.
Nick Buse, the Calhoun/Sac County Engineer, also presented department updates and said the engineer’s office is seeking a new engineering technician and described the qualifications they are looking for. Bruce Musgrave, EMS Director, presented routine monthly EMS updates; the meeting record does not specify further EMS details.
Board members did not debate or vote on Voith’s retirement plan or a hiring authorization at the Feb. 11 meeting. The board recessed the budget workshop at 12:15 p.m. for a Conference Board meeting and resumed the workshop at 1:00 p.m., continuing until 2:30 p.m. Further staffing decisions, including any formal hiring authorization for a full‑time EMA/E911 director, are expected to be discussed in subsequent budget or personnel sessions.
No direct quotes were recorded in the meeting minutes for these updates. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Feb. 18, 2025, at 9:00 a.m.
