Mr. Crumley informed the Board that only two bids had been received for
the general construction contract for the Willie M. group home. Since three
are reqired by law, this contract must be rebid. The low bid for heating and
air conditioning was Jordan Sheet Metal & Plumbing at $10,250. The low bid for

mation on all 27 boards having members appointed by the County Commissioners.

Bob Crumley asked the Board to make a policy decision concerning pay for
the County's EMT's who, at some point after being hired, complete training to
become paramedics. The County currently has 17 paramedics, with 15-18
non -supervisory paramedics being needed. Four others have almost completed
training. Should be County have only the number of paramedics required and pay
only those the paramedic salary, or should we increase EMT's salaries to para-
medic level when they complete paramedic training? After discussing this
issue, the Commissioners, by consensus, voted to upgrade EMT's salaries when
they complete paramedic training. Hiring of new staff should,be at EMT level
to allow for this upward mobility.
Fire Marshal Don Heard presented the annual contracts between the County
and the fire districts in the county. On motion of Richard Pugh, seconded by
Darrell Frye, the Commissioners unanimously accepted the contracts.
On motion of Richard Petty, seconded by Darrell Frye, the Commissioners
