Union City Council hires part‑time police officer Kenneth Fye
Summary
Union City Council voted unanimously Aug. 13 to hire Kenneth Fye from the certified civil‑service list as a part‑time police officer; borough officials said the role will reduce overtime pressure and cost less than the budgeted full‑time wages and benefits.
Union City Borough Council voted unanimously Aug. 13 to hire Kenneth Fye, a candidate on the certified civil‑service list, as a part‑time police officer.
Mayor Robert Wolf told the council it is important to maintain a local police department and recommended adding part‑time support. Council discussion noted part‑time coverage would expand hours of service while costing less than a full‑time hire; Borough Manager Cindy Wells said the budget included at least $33,560 for wages and benefits and that final cost would depend on hours worked.
The motion to approve hiring Kenneth Fye was made by Councilor Matt Joyce and seconded by Councilor Osborn; the motion carried unanimously. Police Chief David Pernice later summarized recent calls for service and expressed appreciation that the council approved the additional part‑time position.
