Nesquehoning Borough Council spoke about or acted on the following items during its monthly meeting on Wednesday:

• Received a quote for cameras, associated equipment and installation for the borough’s five police vehicles. The quote came in at $36,700. Mayor Sam Kitchko said that maybe the borough should think about applying for a Local Share Accounts grant for items the department needs.

• Enacted the part-time police pay scale. New hires will be paid $12 per hour and jump to $18 per hour once they receive their MOPETC and finish ride-along training; six months after that will be an increase to $19; one-year anniversary, $20; and second anniversary, $22. Councilwoman Rosemary Porembo said the new pay scale will hopefully be an incentive for part-time officers to stay in the department, as well as attract more officers who would like part-time hours.

• Resident Harry Miller thanked council for getting the speed lines painted on Route 54. Last month, the issue of speed coming off what many locals refer to as the Hautobon, a 1-mile straightaway coming into the village of Hauto, that is known as an area for speeders.
