Scott County Fiscal Court has approved two significant training travel requests for emergency services personnel during its recent meeting on July 24, 2025. The court greenlit a request for Paramedic Maddie Williams to attend special operations training in Columbus, Ohio, which will incur approximately $600 in lodging and travel expenses. This training is offered at no cost, making it a valuable opportunity for skill enhancement.

Additionally, the court approved funding for Division Chief of Training John Osterman to attend an educators conference in Orlando, Florida. This trip is expected to cost around $2,500, pending final hotel arrangements. Both training sessions are scheduled for next month and are aimed at improving the capabilities of Scott County's emergency services.

In another key development, the court recommended the appointment of Kevin Mahoney as an equipment operator with a Class A CDL license, effective August 11. Mahoney brings several years of relevant experience to the role, which is crucial for the road department's operations.

These decisions reflect the court's commitment to investing in the training and development of its personnel, ensuring that Scott County continues to provide high-quality emergency services and maintain efficient road operations.
