Council extends comp-time cap for eligible employees through May 9, 2025
Summary
The Preston City Council voted to extend the cap on accrued comp time for eligible employees to May 9, 2025, to allow staffing and training of new officers to proceed without forcing overtime-related absences.
The Preston City Council on a unanimous voice vote extended the city’s cap on accrued compensatory time for eligible employees through May 9, 2025. The council approved the one-month extension after hearing from Police Chief McCammon that new officers and training demands had made the existing schedule difficult to sustain.
Police Chief McCammon asked the council to delay the cap’s reduction, saying, “I’d just like to ask if we could extend the comp time one more month,” and described staffing and training pressures as the reason for the request. Council President Todd Thomas moved to extend the cap; Council Member Chris Larson seconded the motion and the council voted in favor.
Why it matters: Councilmembers said the temporary extension is intended to preserve officer safety and training continuity while staff work to reduce accumulated comp time. The extension applies to all eligible employees and the council asked staff to report back during the upcoming budget discussions if further adjustments are needed.
Provenance: Topic introduced at SEG 159 (chief’s request) and motion recorded at SEG 211–215.
