(KTNC) - Part-time Dispatchers with the Falls City Police Department will get a salary increase after all.
After discussion Monday night, the City Council approved a two-and-a-quarter percent pay raise and holiday pay for part-time dispatchers.
The dispatchers had requested the increase, which is the same increase negotiated with full-time city employees last October. City Clerk Gary Jorn explains. (play audio :45)

Police Chief John Caverzagie explained why the request was on the agenda. (play audio :29)
The increase brings the starting salary for a part-time dispatcher to $10.70 an hour. Falls City has four part-time and four full-time dispatchers. Caverzagie said the part-time dispatchers worked a combined total of 2,089 hours last year.
