Title
Joint resolution authorizing the emergency appropriation of the Lake County Children's Advocacy Center (LCCAC) program funding, awarded by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) through the Children's Advocacy Center of Illinois in the amount of $331,269.86 for previously awarded and appropriated funds and an additional new grant amount.
Staff Summary
* In July 2023, the LCCAC was awarded funding by DCFS in the amount of $571,799, and a resolution was passed by the County Board on August 8, 2023, including an emergency appropriation of $483,122.
* The grant period is July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
* The carryover of unused appropriated grant funds from Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 to FY2024 budget did not occur so this emergency appropriation makes it possible to spend the funds remaining at the end of FY 2023.
* Additionally, after the initial funding was awarded, DCFS provided the LCCAC with a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increase in the amount of $24,541.84.
* This resolution appropriates $331,269.86, which would provide the appropriate budget remaining as of the end of FY 2023 as well as the COLA increase to execute the grant programming.
