Trustees approve $500 annual uniform stipend for full-time Okawville police officers
Summary
Ordinance No. 616 changes the police uniform allowance to a $500 annual stipend for full-time officers; part-time officers will be provided necessary items or receive stipends as needed. Vote passed 5–0 with one abstention.
The Okawville Board of Trustees on Jan. 26 adopted Ordinance No. 616, changing the police uniform allowance to a $500 stipend for full-time officers, paid annually in January. Trustee Scott Cragen moved the ordinance; Trustee Brett Heberer seconded. At roll call, five trustees voted yes and Trustee Kevin Kink abstained.
The minutes state part-time officers "will be outfitted with necessary items or given a stipend on an as-needed basis." The board did not record a dollar figure for part-time stipends. The police department will need to coordinate payroll changes so the stipend is paid in January going forward.
