$25,000 Bonus for Riverton Chief

The following was taken from the Riverton Borough Council minutes website. " AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A ONE-TIME PAYMENT TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE FOR DUTIES PERFORMED OVER AND ABOVE HIS REGULAR DUTIES AS CHIEF OF THE RIVERTON POLICE DEPARTMENT

The above Ordinance was read by title only for the second time by Ms. Cairns Wells, who moved for its adoption. This was seconded by Mr. Creighton. At this time Mayor Brown opened this portion of the meeting to the public for any comment on this Ordinance. Scott Reed asked how much this one time payment was for. Ms. Cairns Wells responded $25,000.00. There being no further public comment on this Ordinance, Mayor Brown closed this portion of the meeting to the public."  

My question is THIS IS THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS?  The meeting  was closed to the public?  What else is voted on in private and who else is getting a bonus?
