Butler Township commissioners extend police agreement through 2021
Butler Township's commissioners addressed a lengthy agenda at Monday night's meeting that included actions involving its police and its park projects.
Following an executive session, Butler Township approved to extend the collective bargaining agreement for the township's police force through 2021 under the same terms. The only revision was to Article 24, which had listed the end date as Dec. 31, 2020. The article will be changed to reflect the end date of Dec. 31, 2021.
“That was a mutual agreement between the board of commissioners, the bargaining unit and the officers here,” said Butler Township Police Chief John Hays.
Township commissioners also addressed a number of projects involving both Preston Park and Butler Township Park at Monday's meeting.
For the installation of a public restroom at Preston Park, the commissioners accepted a bid for one phase of the project and opened sets of bids for another phase.
The commissioners also made moves on projects involving two of the township's parks.
