Because of the added workload, Chief Moore asked the governing body to move him from salary to hourly pay. Police Chief John Moore’s pay status was discussed again during the July 15th Saratoga Town Council meeting. Mayor Davis said Chief Moore was hired as a salaried employee and that leaving him on hourly status was unfair to the town’s other salaried staff. He only said the town cannot change the chief’s pay status until they hear back from the attorney.
