Andre Pirtle was working with youth and volunteering with the food pantry at his local YMCA. For him, the job became a refuge from his life: His father had spent most of Andre’s life in prison; his mother had developed cancer; and he was trying to help make ends meet.
Elgin council splits over new budget, spending on new hires
Updated 12/17/2020 7:06 PM
Elgin s newly approved $266 million budget for 2021 is balanced, but not all city council members supported the addition of two new city staff positions that will focus on environmentally friendly practices and promoting and protecting human and civil rights.
The new staff positions are in response to areas of need identified both by existing staff and in a survey of residents. But three council members Terry Gavin, Rose Martinez and Toby Shaw said an already struggling local economy combined with the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic is not the time to add new positions. At the council meeting Wednesday, they also highlighted the need for pay cuts and furloughs for the majority of city staff to balance out both the 2020 and 2021 budget.
