Overview
Overview
The Village currently uses a temporary services agency to employ the Village’s Interim Chief Financial Officer position. While originally intended to be short-term in nature and approved under the Village Manager’s spending authority, staff have identified a need for the Interim Chief Financial Officer employee to remain with the Village through August 2, 2024 until the completion of the Village’s audit and a permanent Chief Financial Officer can be hired and onboarded.

Recommendation
Recommendation
Adopt the Resolution.
Background
The Village uses a number of temporary services agencies to provide temporary employees during times of staffing shortage or when there is a key employee vacancy that requires a temporary employee. When the previous permanent Chief Financial Officer resigned last fall, the Village utilized GovTemps to hire an interim Chief Financial Officer. Originally, staff intended for the temporary employment agreement to be short-term in nature and a contract was approved under the Village Manager’s spending authority for a period from September 7, 2023 through December 6, 2023. During a portion of this time, the Interim CFO role was to be part-time and the interim placement was meant to be in place through the adoption of the FY24 Budget. Subsequently, staff determined that it would be in the best interest of the Village for the Interim CFO to remain in the role through the completion of the annual audit to ensure continuity and consistency with our auditing firm. Additionally, GovTemps was purchased by MGT of America Consulting, LLC.
The Village Board approved an employee leasing agreement with MGT of America on January 30, 2024 to maintain Donna Gayden’s temporary employment with the Village through April 30, 2024. Staff are requesting an amendment to the agreement, extending the term through August 2, 2024 and increasing the hourly rate by $7.00.
