Board approves $0.50 hourly raise for Stonington police chief
Summary
Trustees approved a $0.50/hour increase to Chief of Police Travis Peden’s pay on Oct. 6, 2025, citing removal of insurance as the reason for the adjustment; vote was 5–0.
President Bruce Dowdy requested Board approval to increase Chief of Police Travis Peden's hourly rate by $0.50 because insurance had been removed. Trustee Scott Kuntzman moved and Trustee Caleb Grover seconded the motion; the Board approved the pay increase by a 5–0 vote.
The minutes state the reason as "due to insurance being removed" but do not list the new hourly rate or whether the adjustment applies retroactively. The Clerk's Office will record the pay change in payroll records per the Board's authorization.
