REQUEST FOR INCREABE IN COMPENSATION FOR EMS MEDICAL DIRECTORS
Chairman Haire stated that Al Upton, the Director of Safety and
Emergency Management for Iredell County, appeared at the agenda
briefing and discussed this matter. Upton suggested that the
County reimburse Dr. Bartelt, the EMS Medical Director, at $100 per
hour with a maximum of $4,000 per year.
MOTION by Commissioner Stewart to compensate the EMS Medical
Director at $100 per hour with a maximum of $4,000 per year.
MOTION by Commissioner Boone to amend the $100 to $45 per
year. (The $45 represents the statewide average compensation that
was found on a State survey.)
Chairman Haire said she felt more was involved than the price
per hour. There are additional charges added to the medical
director's malpractice insurance because this person carries the
EMS service on his policy.
Commissioner Boone mentioned he thought this position was
somewhat similar to a volunteer position. Boone mentioned some of
the advisory boards that the county has and the hours devoted to
them by other professionals.
Commissioner Stewart said there was a difference between
advisory board members and what they did compared to what Dr.
Bartelt did in his role as EMS Medical Director.
Commissioner Johnson said he used the data supplied by the
State and the average compensation came out be $45.58 per hour.
Mr. Johnson said if additional justification could be supplied to
increase this amount then he would do so at next year's budget
deliberations.
VOTING: Commissioner Boone's amendment to change the
compensation from $100 to $45 per hour.
Ayes - 2 (Boone/Johnson); Nays - 3 (Haire/Madison/Stewart)
VOTING: Commissioner Stewart's motion to compensate the EMS
Medical Director at $100 per hour with a maximum of $4,000 per
year.
