Police chief will work without pay during furlough
Police Chief Peter Hoell said he will work without pay on his six furlough days scheduled for the remainder of the year as part of a village budget-cutting plan.
Village Administrator David Schornack last month presented the plan, which eliminates 17 village positions, reduces hours at the Recycling Center and requires almost all full- and part-time employees to take one day off without pay each month.
The plan excludes police officers, dispatchers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians. Library personnel also are excluded. However, the plan does include furloughs for the police chief and the department's two captains and five lieutenants, in addition to the fire chief.
However, Hoell said he and his captains, and possibly some lieutenants, will work on their furlough days “for the good of the department.” Hoell said his position is not tied to a 40-hour work week.
