Greene County Council discusses pay rates
The Greene County council met in regular session at 4 p.m. on Sept. 28 in the Bloomfield Courthouse. Following the approval of minutes, the board approved an additional appropriation request of $45,000 from the highway superintendent. In addition, the EMS director requested an adjustment in PRN pay rates. Hourly paramedic rates were requested to be upped to $18, along with paramedics with certification at a rate of $19 an hour and EMT rates for $13.50 an hour, up from $13 for EMT’s and $17 for paramedics without critical care certification. That motion was tabled for the Oct. meeting of county council.
Marvin Abshire stated he had worked with the board to generate job descriptions regarding two open positions in the Soil and Water District. Those positions are expected to be posted on the Greene County government website in the coming days.
In addition, the board approved budget transfers at the request of Sheriff Mike Hasler.
The board also passed a motion to serve as the fiscal body for the Bloomfield Public Library.
Lastly, the board conducted budgetary discussions and approvals.
The next regular meeting of the Greene County Council will take place at 4 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26.
My mistake, the board will be serving as the fiscal body for the library.
