1. IEPA Loan & Internet Monitoring Software
Hi Mike,
I have 2 questions for the group...
1.) Has anyone received and IEPA loan recently? Looking for some feedback on the
process. Do's, don'ts, etc.
2.) Looking for some internet monitoring software programs. Does anyone
currently run reports on employee internet usage. I used a program called
Accountability last year, however the cost was way too high for what I got in
return.
Thanks!

6. DID YOU KNOW?
Q: Can a municipality change the compensation paid to the mayor/president as liquor commissioner during his/her term of office?
A: No. The mayor or president is ex officio local liquor commissioner and can receive compensation for that office, separately from any compensation received as mayor/president. However, neither the compensation paid as mayor/president nor the compensation paid as liquor commissioner can be increased or decreased during the incumbent's term of office, or within 180 days prior to the beginning of the term of office.

2008 maximum IMRF wages
IMRF follows federal law, which limits the amount of wages that can be used for
pension purposes. This maximum applies to IMRF members who started IMRF
participation after 1995. For these members, the 2008 maximum wage is $230,000.
You do not withhold IMRF contributions nor report earnings for any wages that
exceed this amount.
