Board approves sale of delinquent-tax parcel and denies two State's Attorney wage increase requests
Summary
The board approved Resolution R2026-2 to authorize sale of parcel #27-02-329-005 and a delinquent-tax parcel sale to SHR Trading LLC at a base price of $821. The Finance committee denied a 3% wage increase request for two State's Attorney Office positions.
Finance/IT/Tax committee chair Kathleen Perkinson presented committee business and Resolution R2026-2, authorizing the sale of parcel #27-02-329-005; the resolution and the committee report were approved by roll call vote.
Finance Manager Jill Johnson and committee members discussed IT projects and ongoing FY2024/FY2025 year-end work. The committee also considered wage-increase requests submitted by State’s Attorney Mike Quinlan for a Victim Witness Coordinator and a Chief Deputy. Quinlan proposed 3% increases for both, to be paid from the State’s Attorney Automation Fund; the committee discussed grant-funded positions and budget precedents and voted to deny the increases. "It was discussed during budget hearings that employees under six months of service would not receive an increase," the minutes note.
The board also approved a county-trustee parcel sale (empty lot in Sheldon) to SHR Trading LLC at a base price of $821 as part of the delinquent-tax process. Committee members flagged that committee membership will need augmentation for Finance/I.T./Tax going forward.
