Discussion
was held regarding various questions of Mrs. Kopczak. Mrs. Kopczak first asked the health status of Mayor’s Court
Clerk, Cindy Gerak. Administrator
Sample replied he was unsure at the time.
After an explanation of rate of pay and number of hours per week of the
assistant to the Clerk-Treasurer, Mrs. Kopczak asked for a job description.
Sample replied any duties as directed by the Clerk-Treasurer.
He added that the rate of pay is commensurate to Administrative
Assistant, Mayor’s Court Clerk, and Police Clerk positions.
Mrs. Kopczak added that ADP, Inc, a payroll processing company, was hired
to cut-down on the Clerk-Treasurer’s duties. Mayor Reed replied that ADP, Inc. was hired to fit an
immediate need for Village payroll due to the departure of former

assistant position as temporary until the new Clerk-Treasurer was ready to hire
her own assisitant. Mayor
Reed responded that the position was and is needed, and should be created
presently. Sample stated that he
will hire former Clerk-Treasurer, Tracy Butler,
to train Jo Ross and be paid as a contractor for services rendered.
