The question on your ballot
Shall Article 2, Section 204 of the Home Rule Charter of the Borough of Braddock be amended to provide that Borough Council members shall receive compensation on a per-meeting basis based on their attendance at twelve (12) regularly scheduled annual Borough Council meetings subject to excused absences?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The question asks Braddock voters whether to amend Article 2, Section 204 of the Borough Home Rule Charter so Council members are paid per meeting based on attendance at twelve regularly scheduled Council meetings, subject to excused absences. Under the change, Council members would need to attend the meetings to receive a monthly payment. The ordinance says some absences may be excused but does not say what counts as a valid excuse. Council members are paid regardless of attendance now. A YES vote approves the change, and a NO vote keeps the current payment practice.
