The Village Board discussed Village Manager Michael Cassady's accomplishments and goals he attained in 2017. Mayor Juracek
stated Mr. Cassady was presented with a challenging list of Strategic Plan goals and he met and in most cases, exceeded
expectations. Each member of the Village Board expressed their support and gratitude; stating the Village has grown and prospered
under Mr. Cassady's leadership.
Trustee Grossi supported Mr. Cassady's employment agreement which includes a 5% merit salary increase and a $20,000 bonus,
but expressed concern over the Villages' ability to sustain similar increases each year.

compensation. Mr. Cassady's bonus, the bulk of the increase, is based on the value he brings to the Village and is evaluated each
year.
