Salaries to be Set for Municipal Employees

Those for council, mayor to remain the same, others see 2 percent increase.

The township council unanimously approved the introduction of an ordinance Monday that sets salaries for department heads and others—and for the most part, there isn't much of a change in costs.

Township administrator James Naples said the compenations for mayor, council president, council, director of administration and municipal judge are all flat.

"There is a zero increase from the past," he said.

The rest of the salaries, Naples said, will see a 2 percent increase, with the exception of the police chief, who sees a 2.75 percent increase, all consistent with contracts and other determinations.

Naples said these salaries are all consistent with what was passed and accounted for in the 2012 budget.
