Summary
Council accepted the retirement of Detective Mark Buschik, effective Feb. 28, 2025, and approved payment of accrued benefits per the collective bargaining agreement; council also approved a conditional offer to candidate No. 2 on the civil‑service certified list for an entry‑level police officer.
White Oak Borough Council accepted the retirement of Police Detective Mark Buschik, effective Feb. 28, 2025, and approved payment of his accrued time benefits in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement.
The motion was presented during the Feb. 17 meeting by Public Safety chair Lori Sheridan; council approved the motion by voice vote. Sheridan said the department will pay Buschik’s accrued benefits as provided under the borough’s collective bargaining agreement.
Council also approved a separate motion offering a conditional appointment to candidate number two on the civil‑service commission’s certified list for an entry‑level White Oak Borough police officer position. The conditional offer was approved by voice vote; council then approved the additional motions necessary to finalize the hire, including an approved conditional offer and related procedural steps.
Sheridan reported the public safety committee last met Jan. 29 and that a committee meeting scheduled for the current month was being rescheduled. The council did not provide additional detail in the public minutes about the candidate beyond the certified‑list position number; background checks and pre‑employment conditions implied by a “conditional” offer were referenced but not detailed in the meeting record.
Votes were recorded by voice; motions carried.
