Crafton makes code‑inspector full‑time, adopts 2025 wage resolution and fills rec‑board vacancies
Summary
Council approved making the code inspector a full‑time, benefits‑eligible position effective at the next pay period, adopted Resolution 2025‑02 setting nonunion wages for 2025, and appointed four recreation board members.
Crafton Borough Council voted Feb. 13 to change the code inspector position from part‑time to full‑time with benefits effective at the start of the next pay period, adopted a wage resolution for nonunion staff for 2025 and filled four seats on the recreation board.
During the meeting, Borough staff member Andrew Price (reporting for personnel and code issues) said the position change was budgeted and would take effect at the next pay period; council moved, seconded and approved the amendment. "It would actually start the next pay period," Price said when the council asked about timing. The motion to change the code inspector from part time to full time with benefits passed by voice vote.
Council also approved Resolution 2025‑02, the annual wage resolution setting wages for nonunion borough employees. The finance committee had reviewed the changes at its last meeting and staff said the increases were budgeted.
In appointments and commission business, council filled four Recreation Board seats: Chris Nicholson (term to 02/28/2026), Corey Grama (term to 12/31/2027), Mandy Guirino (term to 02/28/2029) and Gabrielle Backner (term to 02/28/2029). Each appointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. In public comment, Corey Grama (who was appointed) thanked council and said he looked forward to volunteering and serving the community.
Why it matters: Making the code inspector position full‑time expands borough capacity for inspections, including rental inspections staff said, and wage adjustments affect the borough's personnel budget that was reviewed by the finance committee. Filling Recreation Board seats restores volunteer capacity for community events and programs.
Next steps: Staff will notify the affected employee and implement the position change at the next payroll cycle; wage resolution will be implemented per the borough payroll calendar; appointees will be seated on the Recreation Board.
