Drop Plan Cuts City Workers Pay and Vacations End
The city council accepted a voluntary 2 week paid vacation withdrawal and kept salaries unchanged to save about 4042.28 for the year. Police and five departments agreed to the new schedule effective today, with no further paid time off. The move, urged by Finance Director England but supported by Mayor Starr, aligns with local municipal finances and mirrors lower police pay in nearby Warren, North East, and Titusville. The council adjourned after approving December and January treasurer reports and discussing street markers, school zone signs, and driver licensing costs for city employees.
