Board approves three-year contract with Sheriff's lieutenants, adds $73,000 to budget

The Peoria County Board approved a three‑year collective bargaining agreement with the Police Benevolent Labor Committee lieutenant unit and a corresponding budget amendment of $73,000.
Member Ricker described the agreement as the third recent update covering three operating units in the Sheriff’s Department — corrections, deputies and now lieutenants — and said the contract addresses wage compression between lieutenants and deputies. He recommended support for the agreement.
The resolution and budget amendment were presented from the County Operations Committee and passed on the board floor with 18 ayes recorded. No motions to amend the agreement or requests to table were recorded at the meeting.
County staff will implement the contract terms and the finance office will record the $73,000 budget amendment. The board did not record additional changes to the bargaining agreement on the public record during the meeting.
