Police Chief's Salary Set at $138K
Municipal Alliance Coordinator salary also approved
The Committee approved an ordinance setting the salary of Chief of Police at $138,000 last Thursday.
David Paprota was promoted from Captain to Chief of Police earlier in March. The appointment came after months of deliberation of how the Committee would replace retired Chief William Nally.
As Captain, with perks such as longevity and holiday pay, Paprota made $155,000. After the Committee approved the second reading of the ordinance by a vote of 3-0 (Committeemen Gary Quinn and Mark Dykoff were absent), he will now make $138,000. With perks, Paprota will be making approximately $158,000.
