LaSalle County's Public Safety committee unanimously approved a compensation-resolution reflecting the Compensation Review Board's recommended salary for the state's attorney and related calculations for the public defender and sheriff.

Under the resolution the state's attorney's salary was set at $219,325.62 (effective July 1, reflecting COLA), the public defender's salary was set at 90% of the state's attorney ($197,393.06), and the sheriff's salary was fixed at 80% of the state's attorney ($175,460.49). Committee discussion noted state reimbursement rules governing portions of the compensation and statutory reimbursement schedules; a committee member clarified how state reimbursement applies to pre-1988 baseline compensation and subsequent increases.

The motion (mover: Craig; second: Tom) passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. The committee chair circulated the approved resolution for signatures and instructed the clerk to transmit the signed resolution to appropriate offices for processing.
