Board approves county police contract for roughly 20 hours weekly at $45 per hour
Summary
Trustee Nelson moved and the board unanimously approved entering a county police-services contract that would supply up to two officers totaling about 20 hours per week at approximately $45 per hour; Treasurer Beverly Merano noted a 1,000-hour-per-year IMRF threshold for classifying workers.
Mayor Pezze and Treasurer Beverly Merano summarized a proposed contract with the county to provide police coverage for the village—roughly two officers covering a combined total of around 20 hours per week at about $45 per hour. Merano told trustees that officers under this arrangement would be paid by 1099 and that if an officer exceeds 1,000 hours in a year the village would need to address IMRF implications.
Trustee Nelson moved "that we do the police contract ASAP," Dees seconded, and trustees voted all ayes to authorize the arrangement. The board discussed that the contract would not use village vehicles, would be documented through periodic paperwork from the county listing hours worked, and likely be an open-ended arrangement the village could end once a village hire is found.
