Clayton council introduces ordinances on extra-duty police pay and municipal salaries
Summary
At its March 26 work session, the Borough of Clayton council introduced Ordinance 3-2026, updating extra-duty law enforcement compensation, and Ordinance 4-2026, adjusting salaries and wages for borough officers and employees. The motions to introduce passed on roll call votes.
Mayor Simon called the March 26 work session to order and the council moved quickly into business, introducing two ordinances that will return for further consideration.
Ordinance 3-2026 "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 21. ARTICLE III. SECTION 24. EXTRA DUTY LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES; RATES OF COMPENSATION" and Ordinance 4-2026 "AMENDING THE SALARIES, WAGES AND COMPENSATION TO BE PAID THE VARIOUS OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE BOROUGH OF CLAYTON, COUNTY OF GLOUCESTER AND STATE OF NEW JERSEY" were presented for introduction. Council member Moorhouse moved to introduce the ordinances and Council member Wolak seconded. The roll call recorded Wolak, Rollo, Moorhouse, Vondran and Long as voting "yes." No adoption was recorded at the meeting; the items were entered as introductions.
Why it matters: Ordinance 3-2026 covers extra-duty law enforcement assignments and the rates paid for those services, a matter that affects both public-safety staffing and off-duty compensation. Ordinance 4-2026 adjusts the municipal salary schedule and will affect pay lines for borough employees if adopted.
What happens next: The ordinances were introduced at the March 26 meeting and will follow the borough’s standard ordinance process for further readings and potential adoption. The meeting minutes do not show final adoption on March 26.
