Manteno board approves village-administrator contract over mayoral veto; board asks for payroll language clarification
Summary
The Village Board voted to approve a contract with Village Administrator Chris LaRocque over the mayor's veto and directed staff to clarify payroll/stipend language separating building inspector and administrator pay.
The Manteno Village Board voted to approve a contract with Village Administrator Chris LaRocque over a veto by the mayor after a motion and roll-call votes at the meeting. The board first moved to reconsider the earlier vote, then approved the administrator's contract by roll call; the chair announced, "Motion carries."
Trustees discussed clarifying language in the administrator's contract. A trustee requested that stipends and payroll for the building-inspector role be separated from the village-administrator salary; the board directed staff to prepare amended language for the next meeting so payroll items are listed separately.
There was public and trustee commentary praising LaRocque's work. At the meeting a trustee said the administrator was "doing a great job," but the board limited its final action to a formal contract approval and a directive to revise contract language as recorded.
