PRESIDENTIAL VETOS
ITEM #1
Transmitting a Communication, dated
JOHN H. STROGER, JR., President,
In accordance with the authority granted to me by section
2-6008 of the Counties Code and for the reasons stated, I hereby transmit to
you my veto of Amendment 35 to the FY 2004 Annual Appropriation. Please place my veto message on the agenda
for the next meeting of the Cook County Board of Commissioners,
Please be advised that I am exercising my veto authority as
President of the Board of Commissioners and hereby veto the motion approving
Amendment number 35 to the FY 2004 Annual Appropriation Ordinance adopted on
I oppose this amendment on grounds that it is administratively impractical for the Bureau of Administration to determine why an unfilled position in departments throughout County government is vacant at any point in time or for any length of time. Furthermore, the stated intent of this amendment, to speed up the hiring process, reflects an intent of the legislative branch to interfere with the discretion of the executive branch to administer personnel needs.
For these reasons I urge you to reconsider your support of Amendment 35.

ITEM #2
Transmitting a Communication, dated
JOHN H. STROGER, JR., President,
In accordance with the authority granted to me by section
2-6008 of the Counties Code and for the reasons stated, I hereby transmit to
you my veto of Amendment 36 to the FY 2004 Annual Appropriation. Please place my veto message on the agenda
for the next meeting of the Cook County Board of Commissioners,
Please be advised that I am hereby exercising my authority as President of the Board of Commissioners to veto the motion approving Amendment number 36 to the FY 2004 Annual Appropriation Ordinance. This amendment attempts to implement an executive compensation plan. Unfortunately the mechanism provided in this amendment is overly simplified and will be nearly impossible to administer without unfair and inconsistent results. I am submitting a memorandum from Mr. Kilgallon detailing his concerns about implementing this amendment.
I call to your attention Amendment number 30 which I sponsored and the Board approved, calling for development of an Executive Compensation Plan. In proposing this amendment, I committed to evaluate the totality of issues surrounding the compensation for managerial level employees and to prepare a detailed compensation plan with pay schedules for Board approval. I believe that a thoughtful plan must precede any changes in the way we compensate our executive level employees.
For these reasons I urge you to reconsider your support of Amendment 36.
