Summary

The Jay County Commissioners on July 10 unanimously approved the appointment of paramedic Kyle Gerlach as a JEMS shift supervisor, authorized bank-signatory changes removing Larry Nuckols and adding Gerlach, and reassigned a power of attorney to permit schedule II controlled-substance orders to Gerlach.

The Jay County Commissioners on July 10 appointed paramedic Kyle Gerlach to a vacant shift supervisor position at Jay Emergency Medical Services and approved related administrative changes.

Gary Barnett and John McFarland, JEMS shift supervisors, asked the board to fill the vacancy created by an employee retirement and recommended Gerlach. Commissioner Brian McGalliard moved to appoint Kyle Gerlach effective July 10, 2023; Commissioner Chad Aker seconded and the motion passed by unanimous vote of the three commissioners present.

The board also approved removing Larry Nuckols from all JEMS bank accounts and adding Gerlach as a signatory. Separately, commissioners authorized changing the power of attorney that permits ordering schedule II controlled substances — shifting that authority from Nuckols to Gerlach to cover ordering in McFarland’s absence. Those motions were moved by McGalliard, seconded by Aker, and approved unanimously.

Outcomes and next steps: the personnel appointment is effective immediately; the county auditor and JEMS will execute bank paperwork to remove and add signatories; the power-of-attorney paperwork will be updated to reflect the new designee.

Action details: Motion to appoint Gerlach — mover: Brian McGalliard; second: Chad Aker; outcome: approved (unanimous). Motion to change bank signatories and POA — mover: Brian McGalliard; second: Chad Aker; outcome: approved (unanimous).
