Commissioners appoint Dustin Warner to Public Building Commission; EMS training and cross-training discussed

Commissioner Kurt Ifland moved and Commissioner Jim Gwennap seconded a motion to appoint Dustin Warner to the Public Building Commission Board to serve the unexpired term through January 2026; the motion carried unanimously. The appointment was recorded in the minutes as an administrative board filling.

Keith Wangerin discussed tuition agreements to allow employees to attend the AEMT class and proposed an alternative staffing approach—naming captains for each crew to assist with assistant director duties rather than creating a new assistant director position. Commissioners expressed support for cross-training and exploring that option.
