The Sweet Deal

If you are like your LakeCountyEye then you spend your summer vacation reading minutes from village board meetings. So you don't have to.

Haha, this was an agenda item on the of the July 24 North Barrington Village Board meeting:

VII. ADMINISTRATION – President Eleanor Sweet McDonnell

D. Approval of Resolution #_______, A Resolution approving a proposal from GOVHR USA, LLC for Consulting Services*
Village of North Barrington :: 2019

VILLAGE OF NORTH BARRINGTON MEETING AGENDA

GOVHR USA, LLC is a government staffing agency that provides performance evaluation services:

GovHR is excited to announce our partnership with Engagedly to provide local municipalities with a robust web-based performance evaluation system.

Your LakeCountyEye learned that the village of North Barrington has 3 employees:

The Village Staff consists of the Village Administrator/Clerk and two Deputy Clerks.

And North Barrington has a new Village President:

Eleanor Sweet McDonnell

And the new North Barrington Village President runs an executive search firm:

The Remington Group, LLC

Sharpeyed Operatives will be asking themselves:

Why would a village with only 3 employees and a new President (who runs an executive search company) contract the services of a government staffing agency that conducts performance evaluations?

The answer nodoubt is to be found in the Shakman Decree:

firing, demoting, transferring or punishing a government employee for political positions was unconstitutional and illegal.

Note to Ops: If you want to get rid of unwanted government employees, outsource the job.
