The downturn of the economic world is causing reconsiderations in a number of areas. The Human Resources Committee of the McHenry County Board will consider some of these at its Monday morning meeting. Considerations will affect the County Clerk, County Treasurer, and County Sheriff, County Board members and the County Board Chairman.
The topic of increases for these officials was under discussion last November at a County Board meeting.
The "sticky" point is that union employees are receiving an increase which makes it difficult for those who are not affiliated with a union. The Board decided last November in an 18 to 6 vote to approve an increase for certain elected officials as listed above. These are the officials whose terms expire this year with a new term beginning December 1, 2010.
As explained at the Board meeting of November 3, 2009, the salaries for the County Clerk and Treasurer are $101,498 and with a 2.27% CPI would increase to $103,000. The Sheriff's salary currently is $142, 517 and if an increase is provided would reach $145,000 in December of this year.
A proposed Resolution being consider by the Human Resources Committee Monday morning, for presentation to the full County Board on Jun 1, provides that for fiscal year 2012, the County Board would return to using the CPI for Northern Illinois/Metropolitan Chicago, third quarter average if the economic forecasts are presenting stronger financial outcomes, otherwise they could maintain the freeze through fiscal year 2012.
