DeKalb County Executive Committee met Aug. 9.
Here is the agenda provided by the committee:
1. Roll Call
2. Approval of Agenda
3. Approval of Minutes
a. Minutes from June 14, 2023
4. Public Comments
Any member of the public may address the Committee for up to 3 minutes on any topic of their choosing. There will be no yielding of time to other members of the public and agenda time for public comments is limited to 30 minutes in total.
5. Resolutions
a. Resolution R2023-079—A Resolution Increasing Election Judge Daily Compensation for DeKalb County, Illinois.
In July of 2023, HB3817 85-5 partially amended 10 ILCS 5/13-10 to increase the reimbursement amount for each election judge’s daily compensation from the State Board of Elections by $20, provided that the increased reimbursement “be used to increase each judge’s compensation” and “not be used by the election authority or election jurisdiction to reduce its portion of a judge’s compensation.” A resolution to adopt this $20 increase in election judge daily compensation would allow the election judges to receive a $20 increase without any additional cost to the county, bringing their total daily compensation to $170 for a 15-hour day, which averages to just over $11 an hour.
Several other counties in Illinois are matching the $20 increase from State Board so that their election judges will receive at least a $40 increase. If the County Board matches the increase and raises election judge compensation by an additional $25, resulting in a $45 total increase, it would bring the election judge daily compensation to $195, which averages to approximately $13 per hour. If the County Board raises election judge compensation by an additional $30, for a $55 total increase, election judges would receive $200 for the day, which is comparable to the election judge compensation in other Illinois counties.
