LaSalle County committee launches search for new finance director after Davis announces departure
Summary
Chair Tina Bush told the committee that Davis will leave county service; the committee voted to start the hiring process, direct Don to convene a hiring committee, and authorize HR to post the job (posting costs to be covered as incurred).
LaSalle County's Finance & TIF Committee voted May 12 to begin recruiting a new finance director after Chair Tina Bush announced the incumbent, Davis, will be leaving county employment.
"Davis is going to be taking another job, and he will be leaving us," Chair Tina Bush told the committee and asked members to begin the hiring process. Committee members asked whether the job posting had recently been posted and discussed where to advertise; staff said posting costs vary by outlet and HR would cover posting fees as part of recruitment.
Don (county staff) will set up the hiring committee and manage coordination with HR and Melissa for posting and recruitment logistics. The committee moved, seconded and voted to start the hiring process; the motion carried.
Context: the committee also discussed budget planning and the auditor noted the county added a finance director position in December 2025 to improve controls. The new hire will fill a role identified in the audit as important for strengthening internal accounting oversight.
What happens next: Don to convene a hiring committee and HR will post the vacancy; the committee directed staff to proceed with recruitment and return with candidate recommendations for future committee and board consideration.
