Morton County EMS proposes organizational change; restructuring tabled
Summary
Dusty of EMS proposed shifting EMS under a Director of Public Safety and raised equipment purchase choices; commissioners asked for a formal review of structure and tabled the proposal until the absent commissioner returns.
Dusty (EMS) asked to purchase a refrigerator from Circle D for $669 rather than Menards at $650, citing closer proximity and local service advantages; he also proposed reorganizing EMS under a Director of Public Safety so EMS would be aligned with public works functions. Commissioner Tucker and other commissioners expressed concerns about transferring funds between budgets and asked the County Attorney to review the structure, roles and job descriptions.
The County Attorney recommended a formal review of structure, responsibilities and assets before action; because one commissioner (JW Finn) was absent, commissioners tabled the reorganization proposal for a later meeting. Dusty reported operational call volumes: 87 fire calls and 326 EMS calls for the reported period. The minutes record discussion but no final vote on structural change.
