Considelljan'ifioposed Town Pelice Salary Agreement An agreement regarding sal- ary schedules and working con- ditions for the Richmond Hill Police Force, already approved By the police association, was presented to town council Mon- day evening by the police com- mittee's chairman Councillor Thomas Murphy. The agreement was dis- cussed by the council, clause by clause, and pas- sed with one amendment, so that it will have to be considered once again by the police association. for their acceptance before a budget estimate can be brought in by the police committee. Other clauses were disputed. but no changes were made. Many of these disputed items had been included in the 1962 agreement. which had never been signed, and had proved workable. The agreement under discussion is just for one year. Chairman Murphy reported that the pol- ice committee had offered the police association a three-year agreement, which they had re- fused. Deputy-reeve Stanley Tinker pointed out that the three-year offer had contained more benefits than the one-year agreement approved by the as- sociation. The salary schedule included in the agreement provided the following rates with the 1962 salary in brackets: Staff Serge- ant $5,600 ($5,200), Patrol Ser- geant $5,200 ($5,050). lst Class‘ Constable $5.000 ($4.850). 2nd Class Constable $4.400 ($4.250), 3rd Class Constable $4,100 ($3,950), Probationary Con- stable $3.800 ($3.650), Cadet $2,900 ($2,850) and Probation- ary Cadet $2,750 ($2,700). “other municipalities are eyeing our force" and the suggesed salary of $5,600 had been proposed to pro- vide a wider gap between categories. The next clause provides an allowance of 50C 3 day for those policemen required to wear civilian clothing in carry- ing out their duties. This is under the control of the chief of police. The work week of the members of the police force is set under nor- mal working conditions as‘ 40 hours,_ consisting of five eight hour days, with up to one hour lunch time at the discre- tion of the chief constable. A suggestion of the police committee which had provedi acceptable to the police associ- ation provides $450 a man in lieu of overtime and court ap- pearances. Councillor Walter Scudds. member of the police committee. pointed out that this arrangement would save the town money, as the average payment last year was $459. with the highest amount for overtime and court appearances reaching $750. Prospects for 1963 are that the hours of over- time and court appearances would be greater. Councillor Thomas Murphy, chairman of the committee, emphasized the fact that this arrangement was acceptable to the police associ- alion. Provision is made that wit- ness fees obtained from other sources will be tyrned into the town treasury by the police. Policemen will receive the Policemen will receive the same statutory holidays as the office staff, with the time off to be used in the week in which the holiday falls. An amendment proposed by Councillor White and Reeve Perkins that the sal- ary of the staff sergeant be $5,500 resulted in a 3-3 tie vote. In casting the dc- ciding vote the mayor voted in favour of the am- endment that the salary be $5,500. which must now be considered by the police association. Councillor Wal- ter Scudds pointed out dur- ing the discussion that The Triple Trio from Walter Scott Public School won first place in their class in the recent Kiwanis Music Festival in Toronto. The girls who are from grades 7 and 8 secured a total of 85 marks. Their director is Mr. John Peace.
