City Council on Thursday approved an ordinance extending pay and benefits for Austin police officers in line with the ordinance passed last year, including extra pay for longevity, for field training officers, bilingual officers, officers with mental health certification and other stipends.
Other speakers, including a contingent representing the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Austin Alliance, urged Council to approve the ordinance, pointing out the serious shortage on the police force.
