Not since Don Leist moved from being an Assistant State’s Attorney to Affirmative Action Officer in the Sheriff’s Office have I seen such a lateral transfer.

But, on the agenda of the Finance Committee today is a similar switch of bosses:

Bill Prim

The Sheriff’s Office had two employees in Grade 7N retire and a recruitment process both internally and externally was done to replace them.

Lou Bianchi

The most qualified candidate for one of our vacancies is an internal employee who works in the State’s Attorney’s Office (SAO).

This employee will serve as the Sheriff’s Secretary, the Chief of Operations assistant and will perform duties within the business office.

This employee’s experience, demonstration of handling confidential information, professionalism and familiarity with the county justifies the midpoint hourly rate.

Impact on Human Resources:   This employee would be filling a vacancy at the same title and  grade.  At the midpoint of Grade 7N, this employee would be below the salary and personnel costs for the incumbent ($6,318 annual savings).
