Morrisville council approves 3‑year police contract extension added to the agenda
Summary
The Morrisville Borough Council voted unanimously to add and approve a memorandum of understanding that extends the police collective bargaining agreement for three years; council said the final signed contract will be made public when completed.
Morrisville Borough Council voted unanimously Feb. 17 to add and approve a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that extends the collective bargaining agreement with the Morrisville Police Association for three years.
Council added the item to the agenda after staff said the borough’s labor representatives submitted the MOU late; the motion to amend the agenda passed 8‑0. Council then moved to approve the MOU “in the form presented,” and the approval likewise passed 8‑0. Council leadership told residents the public will have access to the final contract once it is signed and that staff will provide a contract recap.
The inclusion of the MOU on short notice drew a procedural question from one council member, who said a resident had raised concerns that the online agenda may not have been updated within the 24‑hour window required by local practice; staff acknowledged the point and said they would correct the posting to avoid potential notice issues.
Why it matters: Extending the contract sets pay, staffing and other collective‑bargaining terms for the police department for three years and will affect budget planning. Council emphasized that the signed contract will be published when available so residents can review its details.
What’s next: Council said the finalized contract and any related documents will be posted and summarized for the public after signatures are obtained.
