Union City agenda includes possible motion to hire a part-time police officer
Summary
The posted Aug. 13, 2024 agenda for the Union City Borough Council lists a possible motion to hire a part-time police officer and an executive session to discuss personnel; no vote or personnel details are shown on the agenda.
The posted agenda for the Union City Borough Council meeting on Aug. 13, 2024 lists a possible motion to hire a part-time police officer. The meeting is scheduled for 6:00 P.M. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street.
The agenda places the hiring item under the Mayor's reports, noting 'possible motion to hire a part-time officer.' The document also notifies an executive session to discuss personnel, with the agenda wording that action is possible following that session. The agenda does not name the prospective hire, specify compensation or hours, or list who would move or second a hiring motion.
The Police Chief is also listed as making reports or recommendations on the posted agenda, but no content from those reports appears on the posting. Because the agenda itself is the only available source text, the council's legal or budgetary steps to approve a hire (for example, a formal motion, recorded vote, or budget amendment) are not shown and would depend on actions taken during the live meeting.
The agenda does not include a vote record or further personnel details. If the council moves the item from executive session to formal action during the meeting, the public record (minutes or subsequent posted actions) would be the definitive source for who was hired and with what terms.
