EMA director seeks full‑time position but council tables request; Code‑Red contract approved

Dec 2, 2024

EMA Director Deni Stempowski asked to convert the EMA role to full time and said grant reimbursement fell from about $20,000 to $12,000; the council tabled that staffing request until January but approved a $14,000–$15,000 Code‑Red contract.

The full story

EMA Director Deni Stempowski appeared before the council and requested approval to convert the Emergency Management position to a full‑time role. Stempowski told the council that "the EMPG grant will only reimburse for the EMA portion of her salary which means the county will only receive $12,000 instead of the $20,000 in previous years," and councilmembers said they wanted more information before making a staffing decision.
