Council adopts ordinance setting salary, vacation for newly appointed police chief
Summary
The Defiance City Council adopted an ordinance establishing salary and vacation leave for Chief Frank Herbert and declared an emergency so the changes take effect immediately, the council said during its June 24 meeting.
Defiance City Council on June 24 adopted an ordinance establishing the salary and vacation leave for the city’s newly appointed police chief and declared an emergency so the measure could take immediate effect.
City staff described the ordinance as setting the terms for Chief Frank Herbert after his appointment earlier this month. “Chief Herbert comes to us with years of service, not only here at the Defiance Police Department, but also serving in the military as a law enforcement officer, through various ranks,” City staff member Mister Mack said.
The ordinance was read by caption only before the council moved to suspend rules and call the roll for final passage. Council members voted in favor on the roll call and the president stated the ordinance was adopted.
No amendments or changes to the salary or vacation provisions were recorded during the meeting. The council did not announce a specific salary figure on the public record during the meeting.
The emergency clause declared with the ordinance indicates the council intended the personnel terms to become effective without the normal waiting period; the transcript records that the ordinance was adopted with the emergency declaration.
The council took no additional formal action at the meeting related to the police department beyond adopting the ordinance.
