Council reappoints Tracy and John Hague with salary increases

The LaSalle County government meeting on July 7, 2025, focused on key personnel decisions within the IT and Central Services departments. The primary discussions revolved around the reappointment and salary adjustments for two directors: Tracy, the Central Services Director, and John Hague, the Director of the IT Committee.

The meeting began with a motion to reappoint Tracy as the Central Services Director. The motion was supported by members Tina and Kendra, and it passed unanimously. Following this, the council discussed her salary, proposing an increase of either 3.5 percent or $1 per hour, whichever amount was greater. This motion also received unanimous approval.

Similarly, John Hague was reappointed as the Director of the IT Committee. The motion for his reappointment was made by Joanne and Nancy, and it too passed without opposition. The council then moved to discuss his salary, proposing the same increase structure as Tracy's, which was also approved.

In addition to personnel matters, the meeting briefly touched on budget discussions led by John Hague, although specific details regarding the budget were not elaborated upon during this segment.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to maintaining leadership within its IT and Central Services departments while ensuring competitive compensation for its directors. The next steps will involve forwarding the salary adjustments to the salary and labor committee for further consideration.
