Committee questions supplementing grant-funded victim-witness coordinator pay
Summary
Members discussed a Kankakee County grant that covers a victim-witness coordinator's salary ($41,008.78); the county is weighing whether supplementing pay for additional local duties is appropriate or would jeopardize the grant.
Committee members reviewed an email and grant agreement describing a Kankakee County grant that covers a victim-witness coordinator position. The presenter said the grant administrator listed the amount as $41,008.78 for the grant year.
"I have an email from Kankakee County SAO grant administrator dated 10/15/25 showing the figure to be $41,008.78," the presenter said, and added that county staff are uncertain whether county-funded supplements for additional duties would be acceptable under the grant terms. Members debated whether additional local duties performed by the grant employee should be compensated by the county and emphasized that any such change should not jeopardize grant compliance.
The committee directed staff to obtain the grant language and share it with members so they could clarify permissible duties and compensation arrangements; no final resolution was recorded in the transcript.
