Board approves ordinance setting Clerk, Treasurer and Circuit Clerk salaries; chair votes no
Summary
The County Board approved an ordinance setting salaries for three elected county offices at $153,527.92 in year one (tied to 70% of the State's Attorney's salary), with Chair Hawkinson the lone no vote. Board members discussed timing and whether to group all three offices together.
Vice-Chair Brian Friedrich presented an ordinance to set compensation for three elected offices — County Clerk, Treasurer and Circuit Clerk — at $153,527.92 for the first year, based on 70% of the State's Attorney's salary. Friedrich said the board may need to adjust amounts if the State's Attorney receives an increase so these three offices remain at 70%.
Member Pamela Davidson asked about the Circuit Clerk being on an "off year" and questioned grouping all three offices together; Friedrich said combining them avoided repeated action the following month. The ordinance passed 13–1; Chair Jared Hawkinson cast the lone no vote.
