Oscoda County acknowledges two EMS hires; SUV converted and licensed as first responder vehicle
Summary
The board acknowledged two part-time contingent EMS hires and heard that the county's SUV Tahoe has been licensed as a first responder vehicle and is in service; the hires include a part-time paramedic and a part-time EMT with specified start dates and hourly wages.
The board acknowledged the hiring of Angelina Bonino as a part-time paramedic (start date May 21, 2024; $19.14 per hour; not eligible for county benefits) and Kaylin Munsell as a part-time EMT (start date May 15, 2024; $15.83 per hour; not eligible for county benefits). Both hires were moved and approved in separate motions recorded in the minutes; roll-call votes were recorded as 4-0 in favor.
EMS Director Robert Stankiewicz told the board the county's SUV Tahoe has been officially licensed through the State of Michigan as a first responder vehicle and that employees have been trained to use it; new monitors have been purchased and are in service. He thanked Sheriff Kevin Grace and his staff for support during busy holiday operations.
Commissioner Libby Marsh expressed appreciation for the EMS work and the SUV conversion to first-responder status. The minutes do not show any substantive opposition; both personnel actions were recorded as acknowledgments with associated budget amendments.
Next steps: EMS staffing and vehicle use will proceed under the county's personnel and equipment policies; the minutes do not record a timeline for full deployment beyond the noted start dates.
