Hawarden council approves hiring full-time EMT contingent on hospital board support
Summary
The council approved hiring a full-time EMT for the ambulance department on Feb. 26, 2025, after an initial motion to table failed; the final approval is contingent on Hawarden Regional Hospital Board approval of support and pay and passed 3-1.
The Hawarden City Council voted Feb. 26 to approve hiring a full-time emergency medical technician for the ambulance department, contingent on receiving support from the Hawarden Regional Hospital Board for pay or other support.
The minutes record that Council Member Harvey moved to table the hire and the motion produced a 2-2 split (Aye: Harvey, Warner; Nay: Klocke, Allen) and therefore failed. After the failed table motion, Council Member Klocke moved to approve hiring a full-time EMT contingent on Hawarden Regional Hospital Board approval of support/pay; Council Member Allen seconded. The minutes list Aye votes from Klocke, Allen and Warner and a Nay vote from Harvey; the motion carried 3-1.
The minutes state the approval is "contingent on Hawarden Regional Hospital Board approval of support/pay." The record does not specify salary, start date, classification details, whether the position is headcount within the city budget or how hospital support would be structured; those items are listed in the minutes as "not specified."
