Kane County Approves $225 Daily Rate in Multi-County Juvenile Detention Agreements
Summary
The Finance and Budget Committee approved three-year intergovernmental agreements with five neighboring counties to provide juvenile detention services at a new daily rate of $225 per bed-day.
The Kane County Finance and Budget Committee on Sept. 24 approved a set of intergovernmental agreements to provide juvenile detention services to other counties at a new daily rate of $225.
The committee approved separate three-year agreements with Rock Island County, Ogle County, Lee County, Stevenson County and Whiteside County. Each agreement sets the daily detention rate at $225 and was approved by roll call during the meeting.
Committee members moved and seconded each resolution in sequence; no substantive questions were raised during discussion of the agreements and each resolution passed on recorded votes. The agreements were presented by the state's attorney's office as standard intergovernmental contracts to provide detention bed capacity to neighboring counties at the negotiated rate.
Why this matters: Intergovernmental agreements for detention services are routine county functions that provide a revenue stream for the county's juvenile facilities and ensure neighboring jurisdictions have capacity for detained youth. The standardized rate and multi-county framework simplify administration and billing for these services.
Attribution and outcome: The state's attorney presented the items; roll-call votes show each resolution passed with committee members recorded as "yes." No amendments were proposed at the meeting.
