At Tuesday’s meeting, the South Londonderry Township Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to pass the 2024-27 police collective bargaining agreement and memorandum of understanding.

While the agreement is not available to the public, chairman Faith Bucks announced that the agreement includes annual pay increases of 3 percent per year.

The board also took care of more routine business.

Vice chair Jack Custer and chair Faith Bucks discuss the agenda. Supervisor Bill Bova was not present at Tuesday’s meeting.
