Council conducted the first reading of Ordinance 26-10 concerning amendments to the police department pay classification.

An unnamed council member asked how the ordinance would address salaries for retired and rehired police officers and how contract pay would be handled. City Attorney Stewart responded that she could add contract language to the ordinance to clarify those points. The ordinance remained at first reading with no recorded vote at this meeting.

The exchange did not identify the asking council member by name in the minutes; the transcript records the query generically as "Council Member asked." Staff will return with updated ordinance language if the council directs inclusion of contract provisions.
