CHANGING ANNUAL COMPENSATION FOR

 MEMBERS OF THE SHERIFF’S MERIT COMMISSION

                     WHEREAS, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Merit Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “Commission”) is duly organized and operating under the Sheriff’s Merit System Law, 55 ILCS 5/3-8001 et seq.; and,

                     WHEREAS, the Sheriff’s Merit System Law, 55 ILCS 5/3-8006, Appropriations, provides:

“A sufficient sum of money shall be provided each year by the county board to carry out the provisions of this Division.  The county board may establish per diem compensation for members of the Commission and shall allow reimbursement for reasonable and necessary expenses.”; and, 

                     WHEREAS, effective December 1, 2010, pursuant to Resolution FI-0187-10, the County Board chose to pay, as compensation to each member of the Commission, annual compensation of Four Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($4,800.00) per year, rather than pay compensation at a permissive per diem rate; and,

                     WHEREAS, the annual compensation of Four Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($4,800.00) per year to each member of the Commission has remained unchanged since December 1, 2010; and,

WHEREAS, the Finance Committee has determined that it is in the best interest of the County to increase the annual compensation to each member of the Commission to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00); and

                     WHEREAS, the Finance Committee recommends County Board approval for a change in payment of annual compensation to each member of the DuPage County Sheriff’s Merit Commission from an annual compensation of Four Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($4,800.00) per year, to an annual compensation rate of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) per year.

                     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, effective December 1, 2023, the payment of compensation for each member of the DuPage County Sheriff’s Merit Commission will be annual compensation of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) per year; and,

                     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Clerk be directed to transmit copies of this Resolution to the Auditor, Treasurer, Finance Department, Sheriff’s Merit Commission, Human Resources Department, and one copy to the County Board.
