Glassport adopts MOUs affecting police pay and approves three new patrol hires
Summary
Council adopted an MOU with Teamsters Local No. 205 and a separate MOU with Chief DeVerse changing holiday pay terms, ratified a termination and approved hiring three patrol officers to replace departing staff.
Glassport Borough Council on Nov. 19 adopted a Memorandum of Understanding with Teamsters Local No. 205 to change terms of the collective bargaining agreement for Glassport Police Department employees, and separately adopted an MOU with Chief DeVerse altering holiday pay provisions.
The MOU with the Teamsters and the MOU with Chief DeVerse were presented by the solicitor and moved on the floor; both motions carried by recorded votes of 6 yes, 0 no, 1 absent. The council also ratified the termination of employee #11824 and approved hiring three new patrolmen to replace officers who recently left the department (motions and recorded votes noted in the meeting minutes).
Mayor Keith DiMarco said the full police report is available upon request. The meeting did not include detailed salary figures or the specific contract language changes beyond the general descriptions that terms regarding salaries and benefits and holiday pay were amended via the MOU instruments.
Council did not vote on additional staffing levels beyond the three replacement hires or provide effective dates for the MOU changes in the public minutes; further administrative steps will be required to implement contract changes.
