Policy committee reviews employment agreement request for incoming police chief
Summary
The Labor & Personnel Committee discussed a proposed employment agreement for the incoming police chief, reviewing a Saratoga model; the committee will forward the draft to the city attorney for legal review before future council consideration.
The Glens Falls Policy and Labor & Personnel committees reported May 26 that they reviewed a proposed employment agreement for the incoming police chief, Kyle Diamond, and recommended forwarding a revised draft to the city attorney for legal review.
Councilman Andre said the committee examined an employment agreement similar to one used by the city of Saratoga and discussed key provisions to protect benefits upon retirement. He said the incoming chief would need to step out of the PBA union and requested specific protections in the agreement.
"We discussed a request by Police Chief Kyle Diamond for an employment agreement similar to the one used by many cities statewide," Councilman Andre said during his committee report.
Council members noted that two other department heads have requested similar protections, and the committee intends to have the city attorney suggest final language. The committee will return the matter to the council for additional discussion after legal review.
No formal vote on the employment agreement was taken at the full council meeting; committee members described next steps as additional legal review followed by future council consideration.
