Shelby County supervisors approve ambulance lease and temporary law‑enforcement hires in short special session

The Shelby County Board of Supervisors met in special session on July 17, 2026, in the Supervisors Chamber of the courthouse. Vice‑Chairman Mike Kolbe opened the meeting, asked for conflicts of interest (none were stated), and the board approved the agenda and the minutes of July 7, 2026.

EMS Director Kenny Hansen presented a short‑term ambulance vehicle lease and an intergovernmental use agreement between the City of Shelby and the Shelby County Ambulance Service; the board approved the agreement after a motion from Supervisor Bryce Schaben and a second from Vice‑Chairman Kolbe. Sheriff Neil Gross asked the board to approve temporary employment agreements for several law‑enforcement officers; the board approved one agreement for Jesse Hoss (July 17–19) and a group of temporary hires for July 19, all by unanimous vote. The meeting adjourned at 9:08 A.M., and the minutes bear the signatures of Chairman Charles Parkhurst and Clerk Taryn Knapp.

The record does not specify lease length, rental cost, or other financial terms of the ambulance agreement, nor does it list vote tallies beyond “motion carried unanimously.”
