Boulder ambulance director Michele St. George to retire Jan. 1; recommends assistant Molly Carey as successor
Summary
Ambulance Director Michele St. George announced at the Dec. 16 council meeting that she will retire effective Jan. 1, 2025, and said she and ambulance crews recommend Assistant Ambulance Director Molly Carey to replace her. The minutes record the announcement but do not show a formal appointment.
Ambulance Director Michele St. George told the Boulder City Council on Dec. 16 that she will retire effective Jan. 1, 2025, and that she and ambulance staff recommended Assistant Ambulance Director Molly Carey as her successor. The council minutes record the announcement and the recommendation but do not record a formal appointment or council vote on the replacement.
St. George made the announcement during the open public comment portion of the meeting and identified Jan. 1, 2025 as her retirement date. The minutes say she and the crews recommended Molly Carey to replace her; no further personnel action was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The minutes also record additional public comments: Council member Mike Taylor commended city staff for the Dec. 6 Christmas Parade; Kathy Mahoney presented a letter asking for more notification to adjoining property owners about permits; and Robert Clark announced a neighborhood watch meeting scheduled Dec. 21 at noon at the Senior Center.
Why it matters A change in leadership for the city ambulance service affects continuity of emergency medical coverage and staffing. The minutes show a recommended internal successor but do not record a formal appointment or vote; any formal hiring or appointment steps will need to be confirmed in subsequent meetings or in city personnel records.
What happens next The council did not record a vote to appoint a new ambulance director on Dec. 16. Council members or staff may place the formal appointment on a future agenda for action; the next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 21, 2025.
