Court approves diversion-fund transfer to cover investigator salary in FY26
Summary
The court approved use of diversion funds to cover an investigator's FY26 salary and fringes, increasing an initial $5,000 request to $7,007.41 per staff recalculation.
The Cook County Commissioners Court authorized the county attorney to use diversion funds to help cover an investigator's salary in the FY26 budget, approving a revised amount of $7,007.41 after staff recalculation.
County staff initially discussed a $5,000 request; Elizabeth (budget staff) updated the court with a corrected total of $7,007.41 after including additional components. Commissioner Hollowell moved the item; Commissioner Snuggs seconded. The court voted 5-0 to approve the transfer.
The transfer is intended to address the county attorney's FY26 personnel costs tied to an investigator position; the motion and staff discussion specified that the amount includes fringes. Staff will adjust FY26 budget lines accordingly.
