JEANNETTE CITY COUNCIL AND POLICE UNION WILL TRY TO FILL THREE OPEN FULL-TIME POSITIONS

Two agreements between Jeannette City Council and the police union will try to fill three open full-time positions.  The Trib reports that the council approved measures to increase pay for 2026 hires and allow the police chief to collect overtime pay.  Under the agreement approved last week with the Jeannette Police Officers’ Benefit Association, new officers hired in 2026 will have a base salary of $68,979, said manager Ethan Keedy. They would get 2% raises for 2027 and 2028 instead of 3%.
