Board hires new ambulance director and approves state‑funded Economic Support Lead
Summary
The board approved the administrator's hire for ambulance service director and adopted a resolution to create a state‑funded Economic Support Lead position to assist with quality‑control reviews for benefit eligibility.
The county approved the administrator’s recommended hire for the Ambulance Service Director. Candidates were interviewed by a three‑member panel; the board approved Brian Hise (recorded in the minutes with variants of the name) for the role and authorized the appointment.
Separately, the board adopted Resolution 2637 to create an Economic Support Lead position funded through Act 116 (signed 03/24/2026). County staff said the statewide appropriation provides $11.4 million to consortium counties to hire staff to conduct quality control reviews and help avoid state penalties tied to eligibility error rates; the local position will be funded legislatively and remain in place only while that funding is available.
Officials said the Economic Support Lead role will be housed within county economic support services and that internal candidates may be considered to fill it.
