Commissioner Lee seeks ordinance change to align off‑duty police pay with county rates
Summary
Commissioner Lee told the Jan. 17 meeting he met with police leaders and plans to amend the borough ordinance so off‑duty police pay follows county Department of Transportation rates; the clerk will prepare the amendment for the February caucus meeting.
At the Audubon Borough Commissioners meeting on Jan. 17, 2023, Commissioner Lee said he met with Police Chief Tom Tassi and Lieutenant Gaspari and proposed revising the borough’s off‑duty police pay structure to align with county Department of Transportation rates.
Lee said the change will require an amendment to the borough ordinance; he asked Borough Clerk Danielle Ingves to work with Chief Tassi and Solicitor Sal Siciliano to prepare the ordinance for introduction at the February caucus meeting. The transcript records no vote on the ordinance at the Jan. 17 meeting.
The discussion focused on policy and process rather than an immediate decision: Lee described the intention to follow county rates and to bring a formal amendment forward. Chief Tassi was present for the discussion; the clerk and solicitor will draft the amendment and the commissioners will take up the proposed ordinance at the next caucus meeting.
If the commission adopts an amendment, it would change the pay arrangement for off‑duty road work to match county guidance; the transcript does not specify the exact rate change, budget impact, or an effective date. Those financial details and any implementation plan were not provided and are listed as not specified in the meeting record.
