Council approves one-year agreement with Dr. Hohman as EMS medical director
Summary
The council approved a one-year agreement naming Dr. Hohman as Broken Bow Emergency Medical Services medical director, with annual compensation of $2,500, to oversee ALS responsibilities, the council was told by EMS head Dave Baltz.
The Broken Bow City Council approved an agreement on Oct. 22 to appoint Dr. Hohman as the Broken Bow Emergency Medical Services (EMS) medical director for a one-year term beginning on the date of signature.
The agreement provides $2,500 in compensation to be paid annually on Dec. 1. EMS Department Head Dave Baltz told the council the medical director role allows physician supervision of ambulance service operations, which the city has greater responsibility for now that it provides advanced life support (ALS) services. Baltz said Dr. Hohman is held in high regard and that the city previously had not paid for this service.
The motion to approve the agreement was moved by Councilmember Paul Holland and seconded by Councilmember Luke Wassom; the motion carried on a roll-call vote. No public comment was recorded on the item during the meeting.
The minutes record the appointment and compensation but do not provide the full contract text or details about duties beyond general medical oversight for EMS; the council did not specify additional terms in the minutes.
