(KLZA)-- Falls City Council members approved a $2 per hour increase in premium wages for current Falls City Police Officers and Dispatchers who worked through the COVID-19 pandemic.
City Administrator Gary Jorn explained the American Recovery Plan Act funds can be used on a narrow list of things, including premium pay and infrastructure.
Jorn suggested the Council discuss at the next meeting ideas of where the rest of the money, which amounted to a little over $300-thousand could be used.
Jorn said the rules allow the premium pay for hours worked during the pandemic will amount to about $16-thousand.
The premium pay was approved by the six Council members present Monday evening.
