Centerton approves pay adjustment for clerk overseeing in-house ambulance billing transition
Summary
Council approved continuing Crystal Valdez at $21.26 per hour while she performs expanded ambulance-billing and administrative duties as the city transitions ambulance billing to in-house processing.
The Centerton City Council voted March 10 to retain Crystal Valdez at a temporary-duty rate of $21.26 per hour as she carries out additional administrative responsibilities related to moving ambulance billing in-house.
Staff described Valdez's expanded duties during the transition and said the move to internal billing redistributes existing budgeted hours; council members stated the pay adjustment would have no net budget impact because the city had previously budgeted part-time hours for similar tasks. The council approved the personnel action by roll call.
Why this matters: Moving ambulance billing in-house could change billing workflows and customer service processes; the pay adjustment recognizes added responsibility for the employee handling the transition.
