November 5, 2014 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 5 Glen Rock Council approves salary increases for supervisors by John Koster The Glen Rock Borough Council had adopted a resolution providing for a two percent salary increase for those in certain supervisory positions in the police department and the department of public works. The resolution provides for a scale for each position covered. The range for a police officer is $34,525 for a new hire to a maximum of $113,594 for a senior patrol- man. The range for a police detective reaches a maximum of $121,540. Detectives begin their careers as patrolmen, so there is no set starting salary. The top salary for a sergeant is $122,750. For a detec- tive sergeant, the top salary is $123,288. The top salary for a police lieutenant is $128,806, and the top salary for a captain is $129,334. The public works salaries cover 13 borough employ- ees and establish wages of $20 to $35.09 per hour for a foreman, $20 to $37.06 per hour for a mechanic and $35.66 for an assistant mechanic, and $20 to $33.14 for a laborer. In the Department of Sanitation, which has 10 employ- ees covered, the minimum pay is $20 per hour and the maximum is $34.24 per hour, and the wages for a loader are $19 to $31.51 per hour. The wages for the two Glen Rock Recycling Depart- ment laborers are both at the maximum figure. The ranges are a minimum of $20 and a maximum of $33.14 per hour. Community Church will host Wreath Making Workshop The Friends of the Glen Rock Arboretum, Inc. will present a Holiday Wreath Making Workshop on Satur- day, Nov. 22 at the Fellowship Hall of the Glen Rock Community Church, 354 Rock Road in Glen Rock. Two sessions are available: 10 a.m. to noon or 1 to 3 p.m. The cost is $25 per person, which includes all fresh greens, decorations, and ribbons. Participants are invited to immerse themselves in the beauty of the coming season. This is a time to create for the whole family. Bring friends and family members along and have a great time preparing something home- made for the holiday season. Volunteers will be avail- able to help those who ask for assistance. Those who attend are encouraged to bring gloves, clippers/pruners, and small pliers. A limited number of these tools will be provided. Wreath makers who want to include some- thing special in their creations should also remember to bring those items. Those who do not need a wreath of their own may want to attend a workshop and make a wreath for a family member, friend, or neighbor. Preregister online at www.glenrockarboretum.org before Nov. 15. Remember to select the morning or afternoon session. All proceeds from this event will go to the Thielke Arboretum Environmental Education Center Building Fund. At right: Caroll Thielke and family
