Committee forwards sheriff salary resolution to full board
Summary
The Stephenson County Public Safety and Public Properties Committee voted to forward a resolution that sets the sheriff's salary to the full county board; members said the figure is calculated from a state letter that included a 4.1% cost-of-living adjustment.
The Stephenson County Public Safety and Public Properties Committee voted to forward a resolution establishing the sheriff's salary to the full county board. The motion to send the measure was moved by 'mister Nunez' and seconded by 'mister Buster,' and the chair declared the motion carried.
Committee members discussed how the salary is calculated. A committee member noted the packet included a state letter that "gave the state's attorney a 4.1% COLA," and that the sheriff's salary is set as a percentage of that figure. The chair also said the salary is subject to state rules and that counties "do get reimbursed for that," as the packet indicates.
The committee took no final action to adopt the salary; it voted only to advance the resolution for consideration by the full county board. The committee did not record an individual roll-call vote in the transcript; the chair announced that the ayes carried. The resolution will next appear on the full board's agenda for further consideration.
