Summary
The committee voted to recommend a salary increase for a full‑time public defender effective July 1, 2025; the increase would allow DeWitt County to receive two‑thirds reimbursement from the State of Illinois.
By voice vote the Finance Committee recommended that the full board approve and certify a salary increase for the county’s full‑time public defender effective July 1, 2025.
