Salaries?

(see http://www.vah.com/MenusAndLinks/MunicipalCode/CHAPTER%2002.pdf, page 3).

 

 

Mayor's salary:  $8500

Director of Public Works:  $125,449 (5/06-4/07)

Chief of Police:  $125,024  (5/06-4/07)

 

Increases in salary for the Director of Public Works and the Police Chief are voted on by the Village Trustees in a special ordinance each year.  Keep in mind that elected officials often have fairly low salaries while you have to consider that administrative/hired officials are comparable to executives/managers in the corporate world, thus they often have significantly higher compensation.

 

If you're interested in other staff members' salaries, you can contact the Village Clerk at 847-368-5541.  They can give you the Dept. Heads' information very quickly, but it may require  a Freedom of Information Act request to see other employees' salaries (and yes, that still means that they're considered public information!).
