Town police will work 5 percent fewer hours but keep their same pay under a new contract proposal.

“So that is essentially a 5 percent [pay] increase,” Town Manager Kathleen Weiser told town commissioners at their January workshop.

Commissioners scheduled the three-year pact for a Feb. 7 vote. Officers will also be eligible, as other town employees are, for yearly merit raises up to 5 percent.

Under the proposal, police will work six 12-hour shifts and one 8-hour shift every two weeks, Chief Craig Hartmann said.

Officers will also take “voluntary” physicals each year instead of “mandatory” ones.
