Authorizing an Addendum to the Intergovernmental Agreement with DuPage County for Juvenile Detention Services
body
WHEREAS, the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970, Article VII, Section 10, provides that units of local government may contract or otherwise associate among themselves to obtain or share services and to exercise, combine, or transfer any power or function in any matter not prohibited by law or by ordinance and may use their credit, revenues, and other resources to pay costs related to intergovernmental activities; and
WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, 5 ILCS 220/1 et seq., provides that any county may participate in an intergovernmental agreement under this Act notwithstanding the absence of specific authority under the State law to perform the service involved provided that the unit of local government contracting with the county has authority to perform the service; and
WHEREAS, DuPage County’s current intergovernmental agreement for juvenile detention services with Kane County charges a per diem of $175 (one hundred and seventy-five dollars) and does not expire until February 1, 2028. That agreement states that it may be amended with written consent of all parties. DuPage County was informed that it is no longer equitable for Kane County to charge a per diem rate of $175.00 (one hundred and seventy-five dollars) and that it would be necessary to amend the agreement. DuPage County has agreed to amend the existing agreement to a per diem rate of $225.00 (two hundred and twenty-five dollars) per day per minor, effective July 1, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the current agreement with DuPage County will remain unchanged except for the per diem rate increasing to $225.00 (two hundred and twenty-five dollars) on July 1, 2026. The current agreement runs through February 1, 2028, and may be amended with the written consent of all parties hereto and, provided a need continues to exist and may be renewed thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date for a period not to exceed one (1) year for each renewal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Madam Chair be authorized to sign an addendum to the intergovernmental agreement with the County of DuPage, raising the per diem rate to $225.00 (two hundred and twenty-five dollars), per day per minor, effective July 1, 2026.
