Court agrees to step increases for eligible staff, holds grade changes for later review

Kendall County commissioners reviewed a list of employees identified by departments as eligible for step increases under the court’s recently adopted pay policy. The list — compiled in response to earlier salary discussions — includes several deputies, engineers, and court staff who would move up prescribed steps to correct hire-date or experience gaps. The court agreed to treat step moves consistently across departments, leaving any grade reclassifications for later review with supporting market data.
