Commissioners appoint interim EMS director; 75/25 grant for a firetruck discussed
Summary
The board appointed Stephanie Fink as interim EMS director, approved training and minor repairs, and discussed a potential 75/25 grant contacted through Senator Moran's office to purchase a firetruck.
Dusty and Stephanie from EMS reported recent incidents and equipment issues, and requested routine approvals. Commissioners approved payment for a training ($95 plus overnight) for Julie Talbert and an ambulance repair estimated at $1,100.
Dusty said Senator Moran's office contacted Commissioner Tucker about a possible 75/25 grant to purchase a firetruck; no formal grant application vote occurred. Commissioners moved to appoint Stephanie Fink as interim EMS Director on a motion by JW Finn, seconded by Ed Anderson, and directed Dusty to advertise the EMS Director position while the Clerk prepares an interim‑director resolution. The board also discussed changes to open‑burning rules and the county's TCP timekeeping system integrations.
The EMS items combined personnel, minor equipment costs and potential capital funding avenues pending federal/state grant application processes.
