Committee backs multiple Emergency Services hires and a $150,000 hazard‑mitigation grant appropriation
Summary
Finance Committee approved creation and filling of multiple Emergency Services positions (A‑EMT, paramedics, Deputy EMS Operations Coordinator) and a $150,000 appropriation for Hazard Mitigation Planning Grant professional services; members noted and corrected initial staffing data errors.
The committee approved several Emergency Services staffing actions intended to bolster county ambulance and EMS operations. Actions include creation and fill of one A‑EMT (1.0 FTE at $25.24–$31.42/hr), one full‑time Paramedic (1.0 FTE at $30.39–$40.69/hr), one per‑diem Paramedic, and one Deputy EMS Operations Coordinator (management Grade 8, $78,280–$90,748), effective May 13 or June 2, 2026 depending on the listing. Motions by Supervisor May carried unanimously among seven present members (one absent).
Emergency Services also received an appropriation of $150,000 for professional service contracts tied to a Hazard Mitigation Planning Grant, funded by Hazard Mitigation State Aid; May moved the appropriation and the motion passed 7–0. The minutes record a post‑committee correction after Deputy HR Director B. Horsmon noted that wrong data had initially been provided by Emergency Services, and that the block was corrected.
