Notable elements of the contract are:
- A starting salary of $140,000 per year, through June 30, 2018 Section 4A

- A probationary period that runs through December 31, 2018. Successful completion of probationary period will entitle the Chief to an additional 3% raise (approximately $4,272) Section 2A

Chief Brackney, welcome to $ugartown!
Carole, she probably wants to be called “Doctor Brackney.” I see she is already eschewing that evil blue police uniform at council meetings, instead opting for the Michelle Obama sleeveless dress. Nothing says “police chief” like sleeveless!
