The Police Department is authorized to employ one police officer, in addition to and supplemental to any previous authority granted to the Department to hire officers, for the purpose of creating the position of the Commander for the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition Task Force. The Commander shall be an employee of the village, but his or her day-to-day duties and responsibilities will be dictated by the Task Force. The position is a salaried position as such salary or other compensation is determined by the county. The position will exist only as long as the Task Force or other agency provides funds for the position. The village will not be responsible for any wages, benefits, pension contributions, or expenses for the commander position, which will instead be paid from non-village funds such as a QRT grant or other such funds facilitated by the Task Force. So long as the position as described exists, the village will support the position with miscellaneous equipment such as a firearm, bullet-proof vest, and all gear associated with the position. Any person filling the position of Commander will not be entitled to carry forward accumulated vacation, sick time, or other leave from another governmental agency.
