Sales County council transfers more funds for EMS payroll Freyberger injured in crash mile south of the Line Road. She suffered head injuries and was transported by LifeFlight to the hospital. She was driving north on CR250W when she ran off the road, hit an embankment and overturned. Above: First Responders and EMTs assist Freyberger. Casey Freyberger of rural Petersburg was injured Tuesday when her car overturned at about 6:30 p.m. on CR250W about a half an additional appropriation of $88,000 to handle a short- fall in the EMTs' salary line items. No action was tak- en on the additional request during the county council's monthly meeting Tuesday morning. "I was contacted by Ron to approve $18,000 in trans- fers to keep EMS employees paid in the short term, until they determine why those ac- counts are coming up short. The EMS had requested County councilmen voted By Andy Heuring were any natural disasters or other large emergencies it could cause that amount to rise. Council president Greg are several things that con- tributed to it. One is several of the EMTs have been mov- ing up from basic to inter- mediate and intermediate to paramedic. Each of these pay a different amount. Young said some of the intermedi- ates did not pass their para- medic test as quickly as he anticipated. He said they had to guess who would be paid from what line item. He said another cost was (Wilson the county auditor) about a month ago saying we had a shortage in wages. At that point we looked at the other line items and found we are short for the year. I really don't know where this came from, but I have a few ideas," said EMS Director Chris Young. He said he thinks there Willis asked if that amount or the shortage was from any additional employees. Young said it wasn't. In fact he said he had worked several shifts instead of paying an EMT to fill the vacant shifts. Eventually, Councilman probably were only going to need $60,119 instead of $88,000. However he said if there to a second used ambulance. Young said right after the Joe Sutton put moved to ap- prove transfers of $6,500 from incentive pay to para- medic and intermediate line items and $11,500 from the basic advance line item to intermediate for a total of $18,000. "I appreciate Chris coming in now, because it gives us a 'heads up,' but if we have bal- ances now let's spend them down," said Sutton. Willis said it appears they they want to get the same type ambulances so EMTs will have uniformity and won't have to deal with items being in different places from one ambulance to another, while dealing with an emergency. This was not discussed at a council meeting the county commissioners called him and told him they were not interested in purchasing a used ambulance. He said the commissioners told him they were afraid a used am- bulance might not be any bet- ter than the troublesome am- bulances they already have. He said another factor is commissioner meeting. Willis commended Young for increased collections by the ambulance service. He said all of 2011 the col- were more than $270,000. Two other large appropri- no action on a request for $68,652.72 from CEDIT funds for Bridge 147 over the Patoka River on CR350E just south of Winslow. The bridge is in the process of being re- placed as a federal aid bridge project. In this program the county received a grant for 80 percent of the bridge. The request was made be- ations requests were not ap- proved. The Soil and Water Conservation District with- drew an additional appropri- ation request of $20,910 that was tabled in the April coun- cil meeting. Also councilmen took lections were $200,300 and already in 2012 collections should be able to go until Oc- tober before running out of money in those accounts. Sutton said by then Young would have more time to see exactly how much they were going to need. It was approved by a 7-0 when EMT Janet Gray re- tired she had accumulated the maximum sick days and they had to pay about $4,500 that wasn't budgeted. Young did have some good news for the council. He said he and Wilson had worked on esti- mates and determined they cause during a study of the project they found there is a coal seam where the pilings will be placed, causing them to be more expensive. Auditor Wilson explained the project is now set up with fers totaling $51,464 in the jail budget to help pay for a health care contract. They voted 7-0 to transfer $35,000 from medical and dental and $16,464 from meals for pris- oners. Chief Deputy Sheriff Todd line items that allows them to run a negative balance until they are reimbursed for their expenditures. Construction bids are scheduled to be let in 2013 so councilmen decid- ed against funding the addi- tional until later. Council approved trans- Meadors said in past years they paid medical bills as ser- vices were provided. However he said the new contract now is one-fee up front.
