Summary
Stephenson County's Court Services Committee approved a 4.1% cost-of-living increase for the state's attorney (state-funded) and approved the public defender pay schedule at 90% (July 1) and 95% (Jan. 1) of the state's attorney salary. Both resolutions passed by voice vote.
The Court Services Committee approved resolutions establishing the salary for the state's attorney and setting the public defender's salary as a percentage of the state's attorney pay.
The chair said the state's attorney’s resolution includes a 4.1% cost-of-living increase and that the salary is paid 100% by the state. The committee voted to approve the resolution by voice. A committee member explained the public defender's pay is to be set at 90% of the state's attorney salary effective July 1 and 95% effective Jan. 1, as presented; the committee approved that resolution by voice vote.
Committee members did not request additional amendments during discussion. The resolutions passed by voice votes; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript. The meeting record contains a partially garbled numeric line in the transcript and does not provide a full salary table, so exact dollar amounts beyond the stated percentage changes were not specified at the meeting. The committee indicated these matters are funded under state reimbursement arrangements for those positions.
