Sedan council amends police officer starting pay to $16.50 for non-certified candidates
Summary
Council members voted March 10 to advertise for a police officer position, then amended the non-certified starting pay from $15.00 to $16.50 and recorded a unanimous vote to approve the amended pay.
The Sedan City Council on March 10 approved advertising for a police officer and amended the starting pay for non-certified candidates to $16.50 per hour.
Crystal Wade moved to advertise for a police officer with a proposed starting pay of "$15.00 for non-certified, $18.00 base pay for certified" with no residency requirement. Adam Clark then moved to amend the non-certified starting pay to "$16.50 for non-certified officer." Crystal Wade seconded the amendment; the amended motion was carried and recorded as "0 Nay to 4 Yay votes." The council then proceeded with the amended terms in the advertisement.
The council recorded no abstentions; the approved amendment raises the initial non-certified wage expectation above the motion's original proposal. The advertisement will open the application process for certified and non-certified candidates under the amended pay terms.
