Kane County board authorizes temporary use of morgue facilities for McHenry County under intergovernmental agreement
Summary
The board authorized an intergovernmental agreement allowing McHenry County temporary use of Kane County coroner facilities and morgue space; the resolution passed by roll call.
The Kane County Board on Sept. 9 approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) permitting McHenry County to use Kane County coroner facilities and morgue space on a temporary basis. The resolution was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
Board members who spoke in support noted this IGA is an operational arrangement to ensure continuity of decedent services across county lines and to assist a neighboring jurisdiction with short-term capacity needs. The resolution authorizes the Kane County coroner's office to provide temporary access and set terms for use; specific operational details will be in the executed agreement.
Why it matters: IGAs are common tools for regional service continuity; the agreement is administrative and was not tied to a county appropriation during the meeting.
The board adopted the resolution and asked county staff to finalize the agreement in coordination with the coroner and county legal counsel.
