Glassport council adopts police MOUs, ratifies termination and hires three patrolmen
Summary
Council adopted a Memorandum of Understanding with Teamsters Local No. 205 affecting police salaries and benefits, approved an MOU with Chief DeVerse changing holiday‑pay terms, ratified a termination and approved hiring three patrolmen to replace departed officers.
Glassport Borough Council on Nov. 19 approved multiple personnel and labor‑relation actions affecting the police department.
Council adopted a Memorandum of Understanding with Teamsters Local No. 205 that changes terms of the collective bargaining agreement for the Glassport Police Department regarding salaries and certain benefits. The motion to adopt the MOU carried Yes 6, No 0, Absent 1.
Separately, council approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Chief Meghan DeVerse that modifies terms of his agreement concerning holiday pay for hours worked; that motion also passed unanimously among voting members present (Yes 6, No 0, Absent 1).
Council ratified the termination of employee #11824 (motion by Paul Trunzo, second by Meghan DeVerse) and later voted to hire three new patrolmen to replace officers who left the department (motion by Dave Kowalski, second by Mark Stecak). Both motions carried Yes 6, No 0, Absent 1. Mayor Keith DiMarco indicated the police report is available upon request and the department logged 1,452 calls for service in October, including 125 juvenile incidents that resulted in four arrests.
The MOU with Teamsters and the staffing approvals indicate council action to address personnel terms and restore patrol strength; council did not provide specific hire names or the effective dates for amended CBA provisions during the meeting.
