Council adopts boroughwide AI policy and passes ordinance setting special school police wages
Summary
Council adopted an artificial intelligence policy intended for employees, vendors, volunteers and officials and passed Ordinance 19-10 setting hourly wages and benefits for special school police employees.
The Green Tree Borough Council on July 7 adopted a boroughwide artificial intelligence policy and passed an ordinance setting hourly wages for special school police employees.
Finance committee chair Timothy Barton introduced the AI policy (referred to as Resolution 13-78 in the agenda discussion). Council debated whether a separate, council‑specific AI policy was needed; legal counsel and staff said provisions in the draft policy apply to employees and elected officials and that a separate council-only policy was unnecessary. Council approved the AI policy by roll-call vote.
Earlier in the meeting council considered Ordinance 19-10, which sets hourly wages and benefits for special school police employees. Council held a roll-call vote and the ordinance passed.
Council members noted the value of AI tools for drafting and research but emphasized "verify, verify, verify" when using machine-generated results.
Notes: The packet listed the draft AI policy and the ordinance; members asked about origins of the policy language and confirmed legal review.
