Council extends employee comp-time cap through May 9, 2025
Summary
Following a request from the police chief, the council voted to extend the comp-time cap for eligible employees to May 9, 2025, citing training timelines for newer officers and recognizing crisis-support resources for staff.
The Preston City Council approved a one-month extension to the city's comp-time cap for eligible employees, setting the expiration date for the temporary extension at May 9, 2025.
Police Chief McCammon asked the council for the extension, saying, "I'd just like to ask if we could extend the call time 1 more month." Council members discussed the training status of newer officers and the importance of not placing "green" officers on duty without proper training. Council president Todd Thomas moved the extension; Chris Larson seconded, and the motion passed on a voice vote.
Council members also noted available crisis-intervention counseling for first responders. The extension applies to all eligible employees through the stated date and will be revisited as scheduling and training plans evolve during the budget cycle.
