to the Township of charges hereinafter specified, supply the number

There shall be paid to the Township of Cheltenham
for the police service provided under the terms of this Article an
hourly rate as determined by the Township Manager under the provisions
of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. If the activity requires
fewer than two hours' police service, there shall be a charge for
not fewer than two hours. All such charges shall be paid to the Township
in advance prior to the time said police service is required.
A.
The Chief of Police shall, from time to time, ascertain
which police officers desire to participate in this police service
in addition to their regular duties, keep an accurate record thereof
and assign such service as extra work to those men desiring the same
in a fair and equitable manner. All officers performing such services
in addition to their regular duties shall receive additional compensation
equal to one and one-half (11/2) times their regular hourly rate,
in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, such additional compensation
to be determined by the time actually spent on the assignment, except
that, if the total time per assignment shall be less than two hours,
the officer shall be compensated for two hours. Such compensation
shall be added to the officer's regular compensation and included
therewith for purposes of pensions and all other benefits to which
the officers are entitled as regular policemen. During the time the
officers are performing such extra duty, including traveling to and
from the assignment, they shall be under the jurisdiction and control
of the Chief of Police in the same manner as police officers are when
performing their regular police duties.

B.
The Chief of Police shall keep a record of the assignments
of police officers to extraordinary service as herein provided and
certify the same to the Township Manager by time sheets incorporated
in the special police services permit. Upon approval thereof by the
Township Manager, such officers shall receive the sums earned by them,
less proper deductions, in their regular payroll checks.
