LaSalle County officials approve AFSCME side letter on holiday schedule for state's attorney's office
Summary
During a meeting, LaSalle County officials voted unanimously to approve a side letter agreement with AFSCME addressing the holiday schedule and the elected state's attorney contract and added language to forward the tentative agreement to the full board.
LaSalle County officials voted to approve a side letter agreement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) that updates the holiday schedule and amends elements of the elected state's attorney's contract.
The vote came after the meeting returned from an executive session when a motion was made to approve the side letter as presented. Board member Kathy Bright moved the motion and Board member James Bailey seconded it; the motion carried with all members voting aye — Mike McEnery, Tina Bush, Kathy Bright and James Bailey.
County officials said the item originated in executive session. Board members discussed adding language to the motion to forward the tentative agreement to the full board for its consideration; meeting participants agreed to add that wording to the existing motion. The board recorded the action as approving the side letter and directing that the tentative agreement be sent to the full board for further action.
The approval affects the holiday schedule and contract terms for the office of the elected state's attorney, as described in the side letter presented to the officials. The meeting transcript does not specify the detailed contract language or changes to staff pay or benefits included in the side letter.
After the vote on the side letter, the board approved routine items including payment of bills and then adjourned. The next committee meeting was announced for June 25 at 9 a.m.
