The Borough of Northampton council approved Ordinance No. 12‑42, an ordinance updating compensation for the mayor, borough council president and council members.
The ordinance — described by staff as the item tabled at the previous meeting due to absences — was moved for approval by Trevor Stone and seconded by Jason Donahue. A roll‑call was conducted. During the recorded vote, at least one member (Judy Haldeman) registered opposition and one member registered an abstention (Ronald Glassick); the chair declared the ordinance passed.
Council did not elaborate the exact salary figures in the public roll call discussion; the ordinance text was included in the council packet and has been advertised per statutory notice requirements.
