The recent resignation of Emergency Medical Services Director Charles Barefoot presents a good time for Harnett County to restructure without costing additional funds. Mr. Emory presented for the Board’s consideration a proposed structure that would bring all emergency functions under Emergency Services. The three sections under that Department would be fire marshal, emergency management and emergency medical services. To accomplish this, the following would be required: addition of 1 deputy fire marshal position, pay grade 68, and reclassifications as listed below. Title Changes and Reclassifications Emergency Services Director - from pay grade 75 to grade 80 Assistant Fire Marshal to Fire Marshal - from grade 70 to grade 74 Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator to Emergency Management Coordinator - from grade 69 to grade 71 Emergency Medical Services Operations Officer to Assistant Emergency Services Director for EMS - from grade 75 to grade 77 Emergency Medical Services Transport Coordinator - from grade 58 to grade 59 Commissioner McNeill moved to approve the restructure of Emergency Services as presented by Mr. Emory.
