Summary
Ordinance #3-2021, listing 2021 salaries for borough officers and employees (including a $215,069.04 salary for chief of police and $133,398.64 for superintendent of public works), passed first reading; Council Member Donna Puglisi voted against it. Final hearing is April 21, 2021.
The Borough of North Haledon passed Ordinance #3-2021 on first reading March 17, adopting a detailed schedule of salaries and compensations for municipal officers and employees for 2021.
The salary schedule, as read by the municipal clerk, lists line-item amounts for elected officials and staff. Representative entries include the mayor's annual salary of $20,672.49; council members at $6,352.02; chief of police $215,069.04; municipal clerk $99,832.44; and superintendent of public works $133,398.64. The ordinance also lists a range of hourly rates for part-time staff and positions, and per-appearance/pay items for boards and special meetings.
Council Member George Pomianek moved the ordinance; it passed first reading. All members voted in favor except Council Member Donna Puglisi, who voted in the negative. The ordinance was scheduled for final consideration and public hearing on April 21, 2021.
Why it matters: The ordinance formally sets compensation levels for elected and municipal employees for the year and is the controlling schedule for payroll budgeting and shared-service arrangements. The recorded negative vote shows at least one member's objection to the package at first reading.
What happens next: The ordinance will be published for public notice and returned for final vote at the April 21 meeting.
