Title
Joint resolution authorizing an emergency appropriation in the amount of $17,381 for the Lake County Workforce Development Department.
Staff Summary
* Lake County has a 2015 agreement with IDES and CMS to provide space for four IDES staff members at the Lake County Job Center.
* The agreement calls for the State to pay to the County costs based upon the square footage of the facility that the IDES staff members occupy (10.6 percent).
* Under the terms of the agreement, the State owes Lake County for the period of September 2015 through October 2017, $17,381 of which Lake County received in November of 2017.
* Workforce Development does not have the $17,381 in their budget due to delays in receiving payments from the State, therefore an emergency appropriation is needed, and this additional revenue shall be booked to Workforce's fiscal year 2017 Modified Budget for October 2017.
