LaPorte County appoints Mike Yacullo as county engineer at $108,000 salary
Summary
After interviewing a single qualified candidate, the board appointed Mike Yacullo as LaPorte County Engineer and confirmed the position’s salary at $108,000, up from $86,216; Yacullo thanked the board and cited prior local experience securing federal and state aid.
Monique Thomas, the county human-resources director, told the board on June 3 that the county had recruited for a vacant county engineer position for 11 months and had one qualified applicant. The interview panel — which included members of county leadership and department heads — recommended Mike Yacullo. Thomas said the council had approved the $108,000 salary in the budget.
A commissioner asked about compensation; Thomas confirmed the hire rate is $108,000, an increase from the prior $86,216 figure. The board moved, seconded and voted to appoint Yacullo as the county engineer. Yacullo, present at the meeting, thanked commissioners and said he looked forward to continuing work he had done previously bringing state and federal aid to county bridge and road projects.
Commissioners noted several projects already lined up for the new engineer; no vote opposed the appointment on the record.
