The station is now closed until enough employees can be hired to operate the ambulance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; County Coordinator Wilbur Dean said the shortage of employees does affect response time, \u201cbut it\u2019s just been an uncontrolled set of circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cUntil we get some additional employees hired it will remain closed, but as soon as we get our staffing levels back it will be reopened,\u201d Dean said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He said the biggest problem is that Citrus County has begun to operate a publicly funded EMS department and is hiring employees at wage rates much higher than Levy County. Citrus had previously contracted with a private EMS company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cAll that happened when we had finalized our budget and everything else. It\u2019s kind of making it a little bit complicated,\u201d Dean said. \u201cI am waiting for some information to come back from our labor attorney on some different articles in the contract.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Levy County EMS paramedics and EMTs as well as county firefighters are represented by the International Association of Firefighters Local 4069. It is a public union that can\u2019t strike but can negotiate wages and working conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The county is in the final year of the IAFF contract. Normally the county would negotiate wages and hopefully reach an agreement before the contract ended. Dean said the county could legally raise wages for EMS employees right now if the union would agree to the county\u2019s offer, but he said it\u2019s not that simple for Levy County Commissioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cAt some point, we have to figure out where the money is coming from. It\u2019s an assessment-based program. You have to weigh in on that. The commissioners have a tough decision,\u201d Dean said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; County taxpayers currently pay an EMS property assessment of $154, a fire assessment of $129 and a landfill assessment of $116, and well as a 9-mill property tax millage rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One local resident told <em>Spotlight<\/em> she was being \u201ctaxed out of her home.\u201d She already pays more than $1,650 annually in property taxes and property assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The county requires its paramedics and EMTs to work large amounts of overtime. EMS employees are some of the highest-paid employees in county government but they work a tremendous amount of overtime to reach that pay level. They say extended hours plays havoc with family life and their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It has been suggested that the county raise the base wages of EMTs and paramedics by converting some of the overtime pay into higher hourly wages that would make Levy County EMS more attractive to future employees and reduce the number of hours ambulance crews must work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dean said he is waiting for information from the county\u2019s labor attorney regarding certain articles in the IAFF contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ryan Tietjen, IAFF Local 4069 president, said EMS employees are concerned about the loss of the seventh ambulance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cWe\u2019re concerned. We\u2019re already starting to get thin on units. We have a higher call load and they\u2018re shutting down a truck. Also surrounding counties, their pay is substantially higher than ours, so that\u2019s where everybody is going. They\u2019re not going to come to Levy County when they can make twice as much there.\u201d He was referring mainly to Citrus County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tietjen said he has talked to Levy County Public Safety Director Mitch Harrell about the employee shortage and the amount of overtime ambulance employees are being asked to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cThere\u2019s just not enough people to keep that truck in Fanning Springs open. They\u2019ve moved the people at that station to other spots around to the county to fill other trucks,\u201d Tietjen said. \u201cIt is getting crazy. I\u2019m really hoping the county will make things work. They sent a wage article to their labor attorney a week ago and we haven\u2019t heard back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Enterprise Reporting by Terry Witt November 2, 2021; Posted November 2, 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Terry Witt &#8211; Spotlight Senior Reporter &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Levy County officials confirmed Tuesday they have closed the ambulance station in Fanning Springs until the Emergency Medical Service can hire additional paramedics. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Closing the Fanning Springs station leaves the county with six ambulances instead of seven at a time when call loads are rising. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5474,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bocc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
