Prescott Police Officers To Receive Bonus

The Prescott City Council recently discussed bonuses for City Police Officers for their dedicated work during the COVID-19 issues. According to the meeting minutes of April 27th, the rest of the staff have been breaking up their days, but Police Officers have worked their 80 hours per pay period with some having to do overtime. It was discussed the Officers and Chief would receive $250 for the months of April and May for a total of $500. Alderperson Oss questioned if the city should go outside of the union contract. Alderperson Otwell stated officers are well trained and the City doesn’t want to risk losing any of the Officers. Alderperson Hintz stated the city invests a lot of time in the officers. A motion to approve a $500 bonus to each Officer and Chief due to COVID-19 passed without a negative voice vote.
