The Munster Town Council sealed its Police Department’s position in the top five highest-paid departments in Lake County Thursday night.
With some modifications to the ordinance the council approved 4-1 at its meeting on April 15, the council unanimously gave the Munster Police Department its second raise of the year at its Thursday night meeting.
It also removes the current car stipends — using them to help pay for the raises — but gives officers take-home cars instead. Resident Kevin Cappo, prior to the vote, told the council that giving $400,000 in raises to the police would “disadvantage all other town staff.” Munster, on the other hand, has a corridor that sees 16,516 cars per day and is ranked #5 in the state by Safewise, Dean said.
“I want to assure you that the town is very much solvent,” Nellans said, adding that the TIF will have $3 million in it when all is said and done, plus the town has access to its portion of the Local Income Tax, which is $3.1 million that can be used for public safety expenses. “This was really looked at.”
