Council approves $70 hourly flat rate reimbursement for distracted driving overtime campaign
Summary
Council authorized paying participating officers a flat $70 per hour for grant‑funded distracted‑driving enforcement so the borough will be reimbursed at that rate by the grant.
Council members voted to authorize a $70 per hour flat overtime rate for officers participating in a distracted‑driving enforcement campaign funded through a Division of Highway Traffic Safety grant.
Councilman Grazi said the campaign requires 100 hours of overtime patrol; paying participating officers a flat $70 per hour (rather than each officer’s actual overtime rate) increases reimbursement from the grant if the borough pays the higher flat rate. The mayor and several council members said the measure would help keep the community safe and encourage newer officers to volunteer for overtime shifts.
Council voted by voice to approve paying a flat $70 per hour for the grant‑funded distracted‑driving campaign; council members noted the money for reimbursement comes from the grant.
