Police contract settled
By Pru Sowers

PROVINCETOWN – After being on the job for only two months, Town Manager Sharon Lynn settled the police contract dispute that has been on-going for over a year.
Lynn negotiated a three-year contract for the police rank and file that has been ratified by both the officers and the board of selectmen. The contract calls for a five-percent salary increase retroactive to the previous fiscal year, when police were working without a contract, and annual five percent increases through FY 2010. Each year’s five percent pay hike will add approximately $50,000 to the municipal budget.
