Title

Joint resolution accepting a grant through the Special Project - Adult Redeploy Illinois program and authorizing an emergency appropriation of $28,870 for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Staff Summary

                     The State of Illinois is redeploying federal funds in the form of planning grants to local units of government.  The terms of the grant provide funds to research opportunities for alternative to incarceration programs. 

                     The term of the grant was for the period May 4, 2010 through June 30, 2010; therefore, Lake County applied for funds to implement one of the recommendations from the Judicial Facilities Review Committee’s Study of Operational Efficiencies in the Criminal Justice System. 

                     Funding will be used to develop a justice system population projection model to examine the characteristics of the jail population to use as a forecasting tool to better plan and program for jail inmate populations.  It will also identify whether there are any gaps in our current alternative to incarceration programming. 

                     This resolution authorizes an emergency appropriation in the amount of $28,870 for an Adult Redeploy planning grant.  There is no required match for this grant.
