Court approves EMT pay changes and a part‑time status; commissioners seek budget detail
Summary
The fiscal court approved proposed EMT and advanced‑EMT pay changes and agreed to move Connor Brumley from full‑time to part‑time Advanced EMT; commissioners requested detailed budget estimates and asked staff to return with precise annual cost figures.
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved an updated pay schedule for EMT and advanced‑EMT positions and authorized a personnel change for an EMT.
Chair (speaker 3) moved to approve the pay rates submitted by Robert (staff) and to change Connor Brumley from full‑time to part‑time Advanced EMT at $18 per hour; both motions were presented and passed by voice vote. Commissioners debated the fiscal impact—members referenced an estimated additional annual cost in the range of $20,000–$30,000—and discussed parity with paramedic pay and longevity differentials.
Several commissioners asked staff to produce a detailed budget impact analysis showing annual costs, benefits, and how raises would interact with other recent personnel adjustments. Chair asked Robert to prepare revised numbers and return at the next meeting for a final vote on implementation timing. The transcript records the motions and passage but shows that commissioners want clearer figures before finalizing raises across other departments.
