The 13 full-time police officers in the borough police department have a new fouryear contract following a 5-0 vote by borough council Tuesday night. Council president John Frombach and Councilwoman Stephanie Fox were absent.

The collective bargaining agreement between the borough and Teamsters Local Union No. 205 runs from Jan. 1, 2016, to Dec. 31, 2019, and includes 3 percent raises for each of the four years.

A patrol officer’s base wage rate of $79,956 increased to $82,354 as of Jan. 1, 2016, and will go to $89,991 on Jan. 1, 2019.

A sergeant’s base rate increased from $83,953 to $86,472 as of Jan. 1, 2016. On Jan. 1, 2019, it will become $94,490.

Council also adopted a military banner program to honor any active, retired or deceased military personnel who resides or resided in the borough by placing banners with photos and names on borough-owned utility poles.

Banners will be displayed from Memorial Day through Veterans Day.

While the fabrication and design of the 24-inch by 36inch banners will be the sole responsibility of the borough, they will be paid for by veterans’ families. The one-time cost to join the program is $80 for 2017. For information on purchasing a banner, visit: www.brentwoodboro.com, or call the borough office at 412-884-1500.

The borough’s new website has won first place in the yearly contest sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs.

Judging is based on content, clarity and effectiveness, but the contest also provides boroughs with a chance to display how they communicate with their communities. Entrants are separated by population.

This year, in the 50017,500 population category, Carnegie received first place for its site, which spotlights local landmarks, information on upcoming events and other facts for residents.

Carnegie redesigned its website with the help of resident Deneen Underwood.
