The LaSalle County Salary and Labor Committee on Oct. 22 heard a presentation from a representative of the Sheriff's Office about proposed changes to part-time telecommunicator positions and an amendment to the elected officials' contract, and the committee agreed to table the item to the next meeting.

Committee Chair Steve Aubrey opened the agenda item, saying the Sheriff's Office had been negotiating language for the two items but had not finalized it in time for the meeting. A representative speaking on behalf of the Sheriff's Office said: “We haven't finalized our language yet, but we're close. We've been bouncing back and forth. I was hoping to have it ready for this meeting.” The representative added that the final amendment could eliminate the need for separate part‑time telecommunicator positions and asked that the committee table the item until the next meeting so the contract language could be finalized.

Members accepted that request. Aubrey told the committee, “Okay. Let's go ahead and table that then.” No formal vote on the substance of the staffing change or contract amendment was taken; the matter was postponed pending finalized contract language.
