Board approves county engineer salary formula and ROW permit fee schedule
Summary
The board approved setting the County Engineer's salary at 60% of 95% of the IDOT recommendation (in conjunction with Putnam County), approved participation in the IDOT salary program, appropriated funds for engineer pay, and adopted a right-of-way permit fee schedule.
County Engineer Catherine Terando updated the board on road work and equipment: a culvert extension at a township road entrance, routine tractor servicing, two trucks repaired after the first snow event, and the Harvest Road bridge nearing completion. During the same agenda item the Board approved several highway-related actions: a resolution establishing the County Engineer's salary at "60% of 95% of recommendation from IDOT in conjunction with Putnam County" (#25-89), an agreement to participate in the County Engineer's Salary Program (#25-90), a resolution appropriating funds for payment of the County Engineer's salary (#25-91), and an ordinance establishing a right-of-way (ROW) permit fee schedule (#25-92). Each motion passed with "all ayes, and 0 nays" recorded in the minutes.
The highway report combined operational updates with formal salary and fee-policy actions; the salary calculation references IDOT recommendations and formalizes a shared arrangement with Putnam County for determining pay. The ROW fee ordinance establishes a permit schedule (ordinance text and fee amounts were referenced in the packet but not read into the minutes).
