With a vote of 3-1, council voted to hire Mark Wiekrykas at a rate of $26.00/hr as part time Police Chief.
Councilman Thomas McCabe was the lone "no" vote with Councilman Kline and Councilman Flamini not present.
Wiekrykas had held the position previously for 15 years when he was hired in 1999 and retired from the force in 2013.
Mahanoy City has been without a Chief of Police since Kenneth Zipovsky resigned from the position to take a position with Rush Township.
