Motion was made by Commissioner Feiner and seconded
by Commissioner Jones to nominate Commissioner Halenza as

was unanimous.
Tom Brown, County Administrator, and Francis
Morris, Emergency Medical Services Director, discussed
clarification of the Board's intent concerning paramedic
salary increases. Motion was made by Commissioner Feiner
and seconded by Commissioner Jones to approve the following
recommendation:
"...that distribution be among all EMS field
positions, ie, Paramedics, Paramedic/Shift
Supervisors, and EMT/Drivers, in a manner that
maintains the current salary differential of
15.8% between Paramedics and EMT/Drivers. This
would translate to an increase of $718.12 per
annum for Paramedic and Paramedic/Shift
Supervisor positions, and an increase of $620.14
per annum for EMT/Driver positions. These
calculations assume the inclusion of all 47 field
positions, therefore, the starting minimum salary
would also be increased for all vacant positions.
32 Paramedic/Paramedic Shift Supervisor Positions
@ $718.12 per Position = $22,979.84
15 EMT/Driver Positions
@ $620.14 per Position = 9,302.10
Total $32,281.94
"...this distribution will most probably accomplish
the intent of the Board action and at the same
time recognize the contribution of Paramedics and
EMTs without upsetting the current differential
TT 0206
in the respective salary positions which have been
achieved through education, longevity, and/or
previous merit increases."
excluding the proposed transfer of $7,700.00 from the Salary
Adjustment Account. Roll call vote was unanimous.
Commissioner Feiner discussed the need for a method
for District Commissioners to place items on the Agenda.
Commissioner Feiner also reminded Staff and the
