Page26Prevailing Wage - 820 ILCS 130Annually, the library board adopts a resolution indicating the library complies with theprevailing wage rate of the county. Prevailing wage impacts any construction or maintenancework done to the library such as painting, wiring, or plumbing. Each June, the IllinoisDepartment of Labor determines the prevailing wage for construction related work for theIllinois Counties. Visit their Web site at http://www.state.il.us/agency/idol/rates/rates.HTM forthe rates.The district library board will need to adopt the prevailing wage ordinance afterreceiving the newest prevailing wage rate information; this is usually adopted and posted at theJune or July board meeting. Municipal libraries may be included in their corporate authority’sadoption of prevailing wage. If the library is included in the corporate authority’s adoption, themunicipal library still needs to post the prevailing wage information.Information ResourcesIllinois Compiled StatutesFinancial Manual for Illinois Public Libraries / Stewart H.
