Calhoun County Board establishes EMS donations account and approves payout for separated employee

The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors on April 21 adopted Resolution 2026-10 to establish a dedicated bank account for donations to Calhoun County EMS and approved a payout of accrued vacation and compensatory time for an employee who separated from the department.

Bruce Musgrave, Calhoun County EMS Director, told the Board that the department received a grant to purchase two IV pumps, that EMS Week will be observed May 17–23, and that the department will hold an open house May 21. The Board approved the department actions and accepted the equipment grant as part of routine departmental updates.

The Board voted to authorize the payout for Kristin Sherman, who has separated from employment with Calhoun County EMS. The motion to approve payout was made by Dave George, vice chairman, and seconded by Cory Ridgely; the motion carried with all members voting in favor.
