Union City council adopts pay ordinance for collaborative public-safety director
Summary
The Union City council on April 21 approved Ordinance 2026-01, setting the wages for a collaborative director of public safety and declaring an emergency; the measure passed on a roll-call voice vote after brief discussion about payroll jurisdiction and previously approved amounts.
The Union City council voted April 21 to adopt Ordinance 2026-01, which sets the wages for a collaborative director of public safety and was declared an emergency so it could take effect immediately.
Council members moved and seconded the ordinance during the meeting; the clerk read the prior approved figures and discussed payroll logistics. The clerk said the previously approved amount equated to a biweekly payment of $3,316.21 under the prior arrangement and added that the village would prefer the position to “be solely on Ohio's payroll” rather than invoicing Indiana for the stipend.
A motion to pass the ordinance was made, seconded, and the council conducted a roll-call voice vote. The clerk called each member by name during the vote; the responses recorded at the meeting were: Eddie Lang — yes; Homer (name pronounced variably in the record) — yes; David Waughman — yes; Shane Tedrow — yes; Ron Raymert — yes; Eric Ross — yes. The motion carried and the ordinance was adopted as read.
The ordinance sets the compensation for the collaborative director position and was presented as necessary to finalize payroll arrangements pending completion of an interlocal agreement. The council did not request further amendments during the session.
The meeting proceeded to other business after the vote; the ordinance will be implemented as the interlocal agreement process continues.
