Homewood Village Manager Gets Significant Salary Bump

HOMEWOOD, IL - Village trustees in Homewood unanimously approved a $10,000 bump in pay for Village Manager Jim Marino. Marino, the village’s manager since 2012 who spent 13 years before that as assistant village manager, was lauded for his work in recent months while the village has been without an assistant village manager according to a report from the Homewood-Flossmoor Chronicle.

Marino’s bonus will be added to the $136,346.50 salary he earned in 2016. No one on the board objected to the raise and Mayor Rich Hofeld described it as merit-based.

“For quite some time we’d been operating without an assistant village manager. We had to operate without a community development director, economic development director; no salaries were paid,” Hofeld said. “Mr. Marino stepped into those roles in an excellent fashion.”
