Council amends salary ordinance lists: adds ballistic sunglasses for police, removes sunglasses from fire list
Summary
On first reading the council amended the 2025 salary ordinance attachments to add ballistic-rated sunglasses to the police clothing allowance and to remove sunglasses from the fire department list; the amended ordinance passed on first reading and staff will present a clean attachment for second reading.
The Tipton City Council amended Ordinance 2025-03, the 2025 salary ordinance, to revise department clothing lists for police and fire.
Council members moved and approved two separate changes to the ordinances clothing-allowance attachments: the police department list was amended to add "sunglasses (ballistic)" to the authorized items; the fire department list had "sunglasses" removed. Council members voted to approve the amended ordinance on first reading, and council discussion clarified that a clean, updated attachment will be prepared for the second reading so the ordinance text will not show strikethroughs or markup.
The motions to amend were approved individually (motion to amend police list; motion to remove sunglasses from the fire list) and the council then voted to approve the ordinance as amended on first reading. Council members said the subsequent packet for second reading will contain the finalized attachment reflecting the changes.
