City of Zumbrota Police Pay Increase

The City of Zumbrota is implementing a pay increase for police officers.

The City Council approved an agreement last week with the police union that bumps hourly pay for patrol officers to a minimum of $29 an hour on November 12th.

That will grow to more than $30 an hour in January.

The mayor says the increases will not affect the city's budget because one position has been cut from the police force to free money for the raises.
