Chickasaw County to Re-Interview Candidates for Ambulance Director
The search for a director of Chickasaw County’s public ambulance service will continue.
Last week, the Board of Supervisors, minus Steven Breitbach, went into closed sessions to interview three applicants for the post. Breitbach excused himself from the hiring process because he is related to one of the candidates, who were not identified.
After the interviews were finished, the Board offered the position to Candidate #3 with a compensation package of $75,000 including benefits. However, that candidate has since declined the offer, thus Supervisors will meet in special session Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. to re-interview candidates #1 and #2.
While the Board continues the process of hiring a director for the new Chickasaw County EMS department, the County is also recruiting for the other five full-time positions on the ambulance staff. The deadline for submission of those applications is 4 p.m. Friday, October 28th, with hopes of beginning interviews in early November.
