WHEREAS, the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970, Article VII, Section 10, provides that "units of local government and school districts may contract or otherwise associate among themselves . . . [and] with individuals, associations, and corporations in any manner not prohibited by law or by ordinance"; and
WHEREAS, Kane County, in order to promote the public's safety and welfare, wishes to assist its law enforcement agencies in accessing mental health resources, including counselors or therapists; and
WHEREAS, the Kane County Board has the authority to "impose additional duties, powers and functions upon county officers" (55 ILCS 5/5-1087); and
WHEREAS, the Kane County State’s Attorney desires to provide mental health resources to its employees (see 55 ILCS 5/3-9006); and
WHEREAS, the Kane County Board recognizes that the Kane County State’s Attorney, as the elected official responsible for the operations of her office, is the county officer best situated to determine if and when it is appropriate to enter into agreements related to sharing the services of a wellness program coordinator; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution 25-55, the Kane County Board previously authorized the Kane County Sheriff’s Office and the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the County of Kendall for Sharing the Services of a Wellness Program Coordinator; and
WHEREAS, the Kane County Sheriff’s Office no longer wishes to be a party of the Intergovernmental Agreement, which has been updated and adjusted accordingly; and
WHEREAS, the Kane County Board has received, reviewed, and now approves of the updated Intergovernmental Services Agreement Between the Kane County State’s Attorney and the County of Kendall, Illinois for Sharing the Services of a Wellness Program Coordinator, attached as Exhibit A, which details how the Kendall County Sheriff and the Kane County State’s Attorney will jointly provide for the services of a wellness program coordinator for their employees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Kane County Board hereby grants the Kane County State’s Attorney the authority to enter into an agreement with the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office for the shared services of a wellness program coordinator without further action by the Kane County Board, and the authority to bind the County, provided that the term of any such agreement does not exceed one (1) calendar year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the authority herein granted to the Kane County State’s Attorney will continue for two years after the date of adoption ("Termination Date"). The County Board may extend the authority every two years thereafter, by a majority vote. The County Board may revoke the authority granted to the Kane County State’s Attorney at any time, with a majority vote of the County Board.
