Council adopts EMS pay-scale changes; EMS still faces staffing and equipment shortages
Summary
Council approved a pay-scale change that added a compliance officer title to EMS without changing wages; EMS reported one ambulance down for repairs and temporary staffing shortfalls prompting a recruitment posting.
Council accepted a Fire/EMS pay-scale change after clarification that the revision does not affect employee wages; the change added a 'compliance officer' title under EMS. The motion to accept the pay-scale change was made by Natalie Haddix and seconded by Charlene Louk; a roll-call vote was unanimous.
EMS also reported operational strains: one ambulance is out of service with a significant oil leak and is under repair, and staffing is tight after one full-time employee returned to part time for medical school and another is on personal leave. The department has posted for a full-time position to address shortages.
