Union City council agenda includes possible hire of part-time police officer
Summary
The Union City Borough Council’s Aug. 13 agenda includes a possible motion to hire a part-time police officer and an executive session on personnel; the Police Chief and Mayor are scheduled to report. No candidate, salary, or budget details are included on the posted agenda.
The Union City Borough Council will meet Aug. 13 at 6:00 p.m. at the First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, and the posted agenda lists a 'Possible motion to hire a part-time officer.' The agenda pairs that item with a scheduled executive session on personnel that notes 'possible action to be taken.'
The agenda assigns time for the Mayor to make reports and for the Police Chief to present any recommendations. The agenda does not identify a candidate, specify compensation or funding for a new hire, or attach supporting documents such as a job description or budget amendment.
Because the agenda does not include salary, source of funds, or a staffing justification, the council's authorization — if it occurs — would determine whether and how a new part-time officer is added to the department. The agenda shows no motion mover, seconder, or scheduled vote tally.
The meeting also lists routine administration and department liaison reports and an adjournment. The council will consider the personnel items in public session following the posted start time; the agenda does not state whether any hiring vote would be final at the meeting or contingent on subsequent approvals.
