Greensboro council approves $30,000 Fire Department donation and $4,000 for Weaver Building; declines police holiday pay change
Summary
The Greensboro Town Council approved a $30,000 donation to the Fire Department and an additional $4,000 for Weaver Building renovations, and chose not to change holiday pay for police officers after discussion at its Jan. 15 meeting.
At its Jan. 15 meeting, the Greensboro Town Council approved two budget-related items and discussed holiday pay for police officers.
Council approved an additional $4,000 for renovations to the Weaver Building and approved a $30,000 donation to the Fire Department. The minutes record each approval but do not list mover/second names or vote tallies.
During the personnel policy discussion, the police chief requested holiday pay be increased from eight to 10 hours to match a 10-hour shift; council discussed the request and made no change to the existing policy. The minutes do not record a formal vote against the request, only that no change was made.
Late in the meeting, a motion was made and seconded to enter a closed session under §3-305(b)(1) of the Maryland Open Meetings Act to discuss a personnel matter involving potential modified duty for the chief of police; the minutes indicate the meeting was adjourned after the decision to enter closed session.
The minutes do not include detailed vote tallies or motion sponsors for the approvals; they record outcomes (approved or no change) and note the council’s direction to seek legal review on other items.
