The Westfield Town Council voted to adopt two ordinances on second reading that update the town's personnel and public-safety salary schedules after recent union negotiations.
Councilman Victor Grama moved to adopt General Ordinance 2026-01, an amendment to Chapter 2 (personnel positions and salary schedule). The motion was seconded by Councilman Saunders and carried on a roll-call vote. Councilman Grama then moved adoption of General Ordinance 2026-02, amending General Ordinance 2022-16 concerning police and fire salaries; that motion was seconded by Councilwoman Gilman and likewise passed.
Mayor Burbank had introduced the ordinances earlier in the meeting as part of a concise agenda item; no members of the public spoke during the advertised hearings on the ordinances. The council made no changes on the floor during the recorded discussion. The ordinances implement negotiated salary ranges agreed in recent union negotiations and will be reflected in the town's personnel schedule and in the salaries for specified police and fire positions.
The council handled the adoptions by standard motion, second and roll-call; each motion was recorded as carried. The meeting record does not show any amendments to the ordinances during this session.
