Budget Highlights:
• Increase in Circuit court related primarily due to the 1% COLA and 2.5% step for employees as well as the salary scale decompression. Other increases related to an increase in jury fees and software costs and a request to replace audio visual equipment in court rooms. • Increase for State’s Attorney related to two new positions being added, the 1% COLA and 2.5% step for employees as well as the salary scale decompression. • Orphan’s court budget remains fairly consistent from year to year as the spending for th e department is capped based on County Ordinance (ORD-2021-01).
