Summary
The April 2008 St. James Township Board approved Sarah McCafferty as a full-time EMS director and one of its paramedics at $26,000 per year, with a reported 280 workdays and continuous on-call responsibility. Each township was to contribute up to $9,573 from contingency funds, while an August primary proposal would seek a higher EMS millage. The Board was also drafting an invasive-species ordinance and reviewing low-speed-vehicle road requirements.
