Freemansburg council approves personnel actions after executive session: raise, conditional hire and cell‑phone stipends
Summary
Following an executive session, council approved a $0.50 raise to Jayden Caraballo, hired Justine Rossi contingent on Solicitor review of compatibility with council service, and authorized cell phone stipends for Public Works employees without company phones; minutes record the motions as "ALL AYES."
After an executive session on litigation, property acquisition and personnel, Freemansburg Borough Council reconvened and recorded several personnel actions on June 17.
Council authorized a $0.50 hourly raise for Jayden Caraballo effective immediately; the motion was made by Jim Smith and seconded by Monica Elliott and is recorded in the minutes as carried "ALL AYES." The minutes do not state Caraballo's prior rate or the budgetary impact of the increase.
