Gibson hired as Lake County administrator
The Lake County Board on Tuesday voted to hire Gary Gibson as the county administrator.
The board approved a two-year contract that starts Wednesday and will net Gibson a $225,000 starting annual salary.
Gibson, of Lake Bluff, had been serving as interim administrator since September.
He earned a $210,473 annual salary as interim administrator.
Gibson's predecessor as administrator, Bill Panos, quit after only two months to take a state job in North Dakota.
After the board's vote and a standing ovation, Gibson said he was “honored and humbled beyond belief.”
