Policemen's Benevolent Labor Committee v. City of Sparta

Summary

The court held that the City's activity-points policy violates the Illinois Municipal Code because it awards points for issuing citations when evaluating police officers' performance. The statutory prohibition on including citations in a points-of-contact system is clear and must be applied as written, without resort to legislative history. The court affirmed the appellate judgment, reversed the circuit court's judgment, and remanded for summary judgment in favor of the Union.
