City Drops Plan to Cut Police Pay
City council abandons a pay cut for police and aims to convince voters to approve a two mill operating levy at the May primary. Solicitor Don Hollingsworth disclosed the move after voters rejected a similar levy last month. The panel also noted new council members oppose the plan, and emergencies could allow temporary hires to meet staffing needs without exceeding 40 hours weekly. The current police starting pay is $287.20 with adjustments for service and rank.
