(KAIR)--November 16 is the starting date for Atchison County's new EMS Director.

The decision to hire Lieutenant Corey Scott was made last week, following discussion during an executive session at the weekly meeting of the Atchison County Commission.

The decision to hire Scott was unanimous.

He accepted the County's offer of a salary of $62,000 for the first year. He will also be furnished with a vehicle sometime after January 1, and will receive an annual evaluation.

Scott, during last week's meeting, was instructed to work with the county's Human Resources department to begin the process of developing job descriptions for the ambulance service personnel, and to begin looking to fill positions, including the hiring of a financial employee to oversee billing for the service.

According to the Atchison County EMS Facebook page, Scott was named the 2015 Employee of the Year in the Atchison County EMS division.

Scott is a paramedic who, according to the announcement of his award, has overseen numerous administrative duties while conducting public education events.

The search for an EMS Director was launched in September after the County Commission decided to place the ambulance service under County oversight, instead of contracted management.
