Authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement with Kendall 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, Kendall 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 November 30, 2026. That agreement states that the agreement may be amended with written consent of all parties. Kendall 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. Kendall County has agreed to enter into a new agreement wherein Kane County will house Kendall County minors at its Juvenile Justice Center with a per diem of $225.00 (two hundred and twenty-five dollars) per day per minor; and
WHEREAS, the new intergovernmental agreement with Kendall County commences on July 1, 2026, and runs through November 30, 2029. This agreement 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. Any pricing adjustment in excess of 10% mid contract, will be presented by August of the current fiscal year and will not go into effect until December 1st of the new fiscal year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Kane County Board that Madam Chair be authorized to sign an intergovernmental agreement with the County of Kendall for juvenile detention services.
