Holly Bertka now EMS captain; Rick Skilliter assistant chief
Bluffton council approved two EMS promotions on Monday.
Jan Basinger, EMS chief, recommended to move Holly Bertka from assistant chief to captain and to move Rick Skilliter to assistant chief.
Basinger told council:
“Holly is a valuable officer and handles secretarial work and is treasurer of the department.”
“Rick has been doing our training for years and this requires many hours of work and he has never been compensated for it. He is a tremendous help through this pandemic and is a very valuable resource to the community.”
