City of Monticello, Iowa
RESOLUTION #2025-72
Approving the hiring of a Monticello Ambulance Part-Time EMT and setting wage
WHEREAS, A Monticello Full-Time Ambulance EMT position has been available with the resignation of an EMT Brett Herman, and
WHEREAS, The Ambulance Director has temporarily filled vacancy of the full-time daily schedule, with other part-time EMT’s. Having a part-time EMT to fill open weekday shifts is working with the current staff levels, when previously a full time EMT was needed to keep shifts full. This also makes more weekend shifts available for the volunteers to pick up, and
WHEREAS, Refilling the position with a part-time employee will save the City money, however the Ambulance Director would also like to be able to replace the part time EMT position back to a full time EMT position, if the part-timer does not benefit the schedule, and
WHEREAS, The Ambulance Director interviewed candidates for the part-time position, and felt Cora Wheeler would be a great addition to the roster as a part-time EMT and wishes to offer the position to Wheeler, and
WHEREAS, The City Council has set forth starting wages for EMTs at $20.42 per hour, and
WHEREAS, The City Administrator recommends hiring the Monticello Ambulance part-time EMT but keeping the full-time EMT position open for future hiring if needed, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds it appropriate to follow the recommendation of the Ambulance Director and the City Administrator, and further finds that the wages set are fair and reasonable and should, therefore, be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, The Council hereby authorizes the hiring a Monticello Ambulance part-time EMT with a starting wage of $20.42.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 19th day of May 2025.
