Chattahoochee Hills approves police pay plan with two added officer positions

Chattahoochee Hills City Council unanimously approved a police compensation and retention plan covering 14 current full-time positions and two additional probationary officer positions, according to draft action minutes. The vote on Item 26-063 advances the previously reported proposal.

The package raises annual base payroll for the existing 14 positions from $894,269.50 to $975,500, an increase of $81,230.50, or about 9.08%. Two additional officers at $60,000 each bring the plan's annual base payroll for 16 positions to $1,095,500. Employer benefits and variable incentive costs are additional; Finance would calculate and budget them based on eligibility and actual use.

The approval date remains unresolved: the draft minutes' header says October 1, 2026, while the footer identifies the October 6 meeting.
