• Create Capital and Educational Trust Funds with "lockbox" accountability guarantees for capital investments and continuation of the current level of lottery proceeds for P-12 education.

• Use motor fuel taxes to support bonded road projects that allow nearly $2 billion in additional projects

News from Illinois House of Representatives

Schmitz, Munson Push for Jobs, Infrastructure Funding Springfield ...Lawmakers from Kane County are increasing the pressure in Springfield for passage this spring of a comprehensive jobs and capital improvement plan. State Representatives Ruth Munson (R-Elgin) and Tim Schmitz (R-Batavia) introduced a resolution calling for prompt passage of a long-overdue capital plan to improve roads, bridges, schools and local mass transit systems.

"This is a serious safety issue. It has been more than six years since we last had a capital plan in place and our infrastructure is literally crumbling. We are on track to reach a new record high 3,450 bad miles of road in just a few years, and we have 2,450 bridges that have been rated `structurally deficient'. We need a capital plan in place, and we need it now," said Munson.

"As our communities have continued to grow, the strain on our roads and schools has reached the critical stage. Local municipalities can't keep up without help. We must have a statewide plan in place in order to access more than $9.3 billion in federal transportation dollars that our congressional delegation brought home to Illinois ," Schmitz said. "This week we filed a resolution that not only calls for prompt action, but also lays out critical protections that must be included in a comprehensive capital plan to make sure the funding actually goes where it's intended

House Resolution 1278 calls for passage this spring of a statewide capital jobs and infrastructure plan, including:

5/21/2008 Page 2 of 2

® At least $3 billion each year over the next five years for road and bridge construction and- maintenance. The funding would be deposited directly into a Capital Infrastructure Fund, and could not be diverted for any other purpose.

• At least $2 billion each year over the next three years for construction and maintenance of public transportation systems. A new Public Transportation Construction Fund will be created to ensure this funding is allocated as intended.

a At least $500 million each year over the next three years for school construction grants, that, when combined with the 50% local match, will make available $3 billion to repair, replace and upgrade local school, community college or university buildings.

"There are 23 school districts still waiting for school construction grants the state promised to them in 2002. That's unconscionable," Schmitz said. "Our schools need help and beleaguered property taxpayers can't continue to bear the burden alone."

Rep. Munson noted that the resolution also calls for increased accountability to local taxpayers regarding how their transportation tax dollars are. collected and spent.

"No more road fund diversions," Munson said. "Under our resolution, state motor fuel tax dollars and license fees that go into the road -fund will stay in the road fund to pay for road repairs. We are also calling for an annual audit of the Road, Highway Construction, and Public Transportation Funds to make sure precious infrastructure dollars are being spent appropriately."

Representatives Munson and Schnitz said they will push for prompt passage of their resolution.

http://www.ilgagov/legislation/BillStatuspf..asp?DoeNum=227S8DocTypelD=SB&Legl... 5/22/2008 The Impact of Adding Seventeen Year Old Offenders To the Juvenile Justice System in the Collar Counties

ISSUE SB 2275 seeks to amend the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the Unified Code of Corrections to make offenders ' under the age of 18, instead of 17, subject to the Act for delinquent minors. While this bill would initially just involve misdemeanor charges, it allows for a study of the impact of moving all 17 .year olds into juvenile court in the future. HB 1518 seeks to move all.17 year olds under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court without any phase-in period. There would be significant financial impact to the entire Juvenile Court System by the increase in workload that would result from the addition of this age group to the existing population. This paper analyzes the potential impact this legislation would have in the Collar Counties.

A report from the National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ) estimates that the provisions of this legislation would add*to the overall juvenile justice system by approximately 30%. The state of Wisconsin' is seeking to move 17 year olds back into the juvenile system after moving them to the adult system in 1995 . In an article in the February issue of the Criminal Justice Newsletter, the Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau said that the return of 17 year olds to juvenile court jurisdiction would have a significant fiscal effect on counties , because they primarily operate the juvenile system. The auditors wrote, "We estimate returning 17 year olds to the juvenile system could cost $53.5 million to $82.4 million annually." Such a study has not been performed in Illinois to judge the effect that this legislation would have on Il.l.inois counties.

One of the factors that needs to be considered is the difference in how juvenile cases are processed when compared to adult cases. The majority of adult cases are placed on probation "instanter ". The Court orders the sentence with no presentence involvement by probation staff. In juvenile, the probation department receives referrals from local police jurisdictions . Juvenile probation staff screen the referrals, interview the juvenile and parents, perform assessments to determine risk protective factors, and determine whether court is necessary to resolve the case . If the case is filed in court, the juvenile probation officer prepares a social investigation on the minor, collecting information on the home, school, employment, prior offenses, drug and alcohol usage, mental health history, leisure activities, peer relationships, and victim information. If the case is diverted from court, the officer must provide follow-up on the minor' s cooperation with any program to which the minor is referred or victim restitution the minor must pay, and many minors are supervised on an "informal" basis with no court involvement. Thus, the initial processing of juvenile cases by probation is far more labor-intensive than the processing for adult cases.

The following information was collected by individual Collar Counties to highlight estimated increases in spending by these counties should 17 year olds, be moved into the juvenile system . These costs are necessary in order to insure that the 17 year olds coming into the juvenile system will have the same level of service provided as those minors currently under juvenile jurisdiction . Each county used the. NCJJ figure of 30% increase in workload if all 17 year olds were moved into the system. Additional data was collected from the jurisdictions to determine the breakdown of misdemeanor vs. felony charges filed for 17 year olds during 2006. For these jurisdictions, the cases filed on 17 year olds were on average 78% misdemeanor and 22% felony. The jurisdictions each did estimated cost increases for the full 30%. These increases are reflected in the following narrative. The attached spreadsheet reflects these 30% increases, broken down into Probation, Detention, and Residential. cost increases.

The chart also reflects the increases using misdemeanor costs only. The misdemeanor costs for probation are reflected using the 78% of the 30% full increase, since 78%n of the cases filed on 17 year olds were misdemeanors, and 100% of these cases could come through intake in the juvenile probation system. The detention increase for misdemeanor only was calculated using a comparison of 16 year olds who were detained on warrants or probation violations. 16 year olds in this category comprised 13% of the total detention admissions, and 17 year olds would' represent a similar population. Realistically, 17 year old misdemeanants would not meet the detention criteria unless they were already under the court's jurisdiction. Once under the court's jurisdiction, the possibility of detention for violations or warrants is present for these cases.

The residential expenses for 17 year old misdemeanants are difficult to predict. There are minors residentially placed for misdemeanor charges, particularly when they are sexual in nature or the minor has a history of significant mental illness. It is likely that each jurisdiction might place at least one minor annually. The figure of $205/day for 365 days was used, as this is an average cost of residential care for sex offenders or those with significant mental health issues. This totaled $75,000/year per minor.

I McHenry County ,

Probation

McHenry County officials estimate that a 30% increase in workload would result in the need to hire two additional juvenile probation officers and one additional intake officers. This would result in the need to purchase additional desks, chairs, computers, supplies, and support training of new officers.

Cost for Probation: $137,415 (Salary and Benefits for three officers) $11,100 (Equipment and training costs)

Total Cost Increase for Probation - $148,515

Detention

McHenry County does not have a detentionfacility and must contract with other facilities. The projected increase of 30% assumes no increase in the $90/day charge they currently pay to Kane County If Kane County beds become full, they are estimating an additional increase of 60-70% per bed per day. Sheriff transportation costs would likely increase 30% as well, but these costs are not available.

Total Cost Increase for Detention -$38,610 (429 additional days at $90/day - Average length of stay of 11 days.)

2 (McHenry County Cont'd.)

Residential Placement

Total Cost Increase for Residential Placement -$209,400 - (Represents a 30% increase in residential placement costs.)

Rock Island County

Probation

Rock Island County would be required to add one new juvenile intake position and one new caseload supervision position. These new staff would require desks, chairs, computers, and office supplies.

Cost for Probation (Rock Island County cont' d.)

$85,000 (Salary and Benefits for two officers) $3200 (Equipment)

Total Cost Increase for Probation - $88,200

Detention

Thirty eight-(38) additional youth would be detained in one year, at an average stay of 26 days and a cost of $105/day at Mary Davis Juvenile Detention Center. Rock Island County does not have its own detention center and must rely on other centers throughout the state to meet their detention needs. The addition of 17 year olds could result in a dramatic loss or reduction of available detention bed space, which could have a negative impact on public safety. There would also be a cost increase for the Sheriffs Department to transport 17 year old youth to detention centers that do not provide transportation.

Total Cost Increase for Detention. $103,740 (38 additional youth at 26 days at $105/day)

Residential Placement

Rock Island official conservatively estimated three (3) 17 year olds in residential placement per year.

Total Cost Increase for Residential Placement- $110,000

3 Winnebago ' County

Probation

Winnebago County estimates that six field probation officers, two intake officers, and a probation supervisor would be necessary if their caseload increases by 30%.

Cost for Probation.

$300,000 ($50,000 for each of six field probation officers, including salary, benefits, equipment, and furniture) $100,000 ($50,000 for each of two intake officers, including salary, benefits, equipment, and furniture) $60,000 (One probation supervisor, including salary, benefits, equipment, and mature)

Total Cost Increase for Probation- $460,000 Detention (Winnebago County Cont'd)

Winnebago County indicates that 12 additional detention officers and 3 additional detention supervisors would be required to meet the 30% increase. This would potentially also require an expansion or replacement of their detention facility.

Cost for Detention

$600,000 ($50,000 for each of 12 detention officers including salary, benefits, equipment, and furniture) $180,000 ($60,000 for each of 3 detention supervisors including salary, benefits, equipment, and furniture) $25,000,000 (New detention facility or expansion of existing facility)

Total Cost Increase for Detention - $780,000 and potential $25,000,000 for new /expanded facility

residential Placement

Total Cost Increase for Residential Placement - $220 ,000 (Increase in use of residential placement due to influx of 17 year olds)

Kane County'

Probation

Based upon an increased referral rate of 30%, Kane County would require 4 additional probation officers to handle the combined intake/caseload functions of probation. In addition, the Homebound Detention Unit would require one additional officer to handle the 30% increase. in cases. All four of

4 (Kane County Cont'd) these officers would require desks, computers, file cabinets, phones, and supplies. In addition, since all three held offices are out of office space, there would be a need to expand the existing space to accommodate additional staff. Each officer would require a minimum of 70 square feet, representing an additional 350 square feet ' of office space. The current price for the existing office space is $7.50/sq.ft per year. but alternative facilities at an increased price might need to be sought due to the inability to ft. additional staff into the existing space.

Cost for Probation

$188,000 (4 probation officers at $47,00.0 each, including salary and benefits.) $47,000 (One homebound detention officer, including salary and benefits) $10,000 (Equipment and furniture for five new off cers) $2700 annually (Increase to add 350 sq. ft. to existing office space at $7.50 sq. ft.)

Total Cost Increase for Probation - $247,700/year

Detention Kane County has a detention center which services Kane County as well as DeKalb, Kendall, and McHenry Counties on a contractual basis. For 2007, average daily detention population in this 80 bed facility was 50, but one 16 bed unit in this facility is currently used for the Challenge, Program, a residential placement targeting gang members who might otherwise be committed to the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice. A 30% increase in the daily detention population would place the detention headcount at 65, which in addition to the 16 residential beds would fill the facility above its rated capacity. This would result in the discontinuation of contracts for bed space, which generate. $400,000 in revenue annually, and it would force those other countiesto shop detention beds elsewhere. If the Challenge Program were discontinued to accommodate the additional minors, the budget for external residential placements would increase, as would the rate of commitment to the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice. To accommodate the building at capacity, two additional youth counselors would be required.

Cost for Detention

$94,000 (2 youth counselors at $47,000 each for salary and benefits) $400,000 (Potential loss of revenue for contractual beds, which represents a cost to the County) $51,000 (Additional operating costs for increase to 80 population}

Total Cost Increase for Detention -$545,000

Residential Placement

In 2007, Kane County expended $ 1,509, 109 on residential placement costs for minors. If placement costs were to increase by 30%, it w©uld.result in an additional $452,733 annually. Realistically, based (Kane County Cont'd), upon having placed four 16 year olds in 2007 and using 17 year olds as a comparative population, we would estimate that the increase would involve four additional minors being residentially placed. Using an average placement cost of $175/day for one year, the cost of placing four additional minors would be $255,500.

Cost for Residential Placement

Total Cost Increase for Residential Treatment -$255,500.

WILL COUNTY

Probation

Relative to Will County, a 30% increase in the referral rate. would. require the addition of five probation officers .to handle caseload functions and one probation^offi.ce to handle intake functions, for a total of six probation officers. One supervisor would need to, be added to manage the additional staff. This increase in staff will require an additional 30% increase in operational expenses. Also needed would be an expansion of the existing probation office (775 square feet of additional space needed, minimally,) which has currently been utilized to the maximum extent.

Cost for Probation

Recurring Expenses:

$343,740 for 6 Probation Officers ($40,922 salary +$16,368 benefits = $57,290 each officer) $82,785 for 1 Supervisors ($59,132 salary + $23,653 benefits = $82,785) $51,149 increase in operational costs (office equipment, office furniture, training expenses, travel expenses, treatment, counseling, automation, supplies, etc.)

Total Annual Cost Increase for Probation -$477,674

Non-recurring Expenses:

$250,000 for expansion of current juvenile probation office. (It should be noted that there will also be an increase in recurring additional maintenance costs.)

Total non-recurring cost for Probation - $250,000

Total Cost Increase for Probation - $727,674 Gill County Detention Cont'd)

Detention

In Will County, a 30% increase in the juvenile detention population would have a significant operational and fiscal impact. The rated capacity of the River Valley Detention Center is 102, however, due to a number of operation factors, the actual functional capacity of the facility is approximately 95. The current Average Daily Population of the detention center is 72 residents. Taking into account a 30% increase, the population of the detention center would be approximately 94. This would include 15-17 additional Will County juveniles and 6-9 additional Kankakee County juveniles. Based on the promulgated AOIC standards this would require an additional 15 Juvenile Detention Officers and 2 Supervisors to adequately supervise this population, as well as additional support staff.

In order to meet the demand of the increasing' juvenile detention population an expansion to the existing detention center would be necessary. New construction would minimally include an additional 51 bed pod, 5 classrooms, and an additional dining room. The estimated cost of this expansion would, be in excess of $9,000,000 (2006 dollars).

Additional personnel costs including salaries and benefits would break down as follows:

15. additional Detention Officers - $820,780/year 2 additional Supervisors - $129,000/year I additional Kitchen/Laundry Clerk - $39,370/year Estimated additional overtime expenditure - $60,000/year

Total Personnel Increase - $1,049,150

Additional operational costs are as follows"

Commodities for residents (i.e. clothing, hygiene supplies) $4000/year Food - $73,500/year Medical expense per current contract would increase by $11,500/year

Total Operation Cost Increase $89,000

Total Annual Cost Increase for Detention - $1,138,150 (2008 dollars) Total Non-Recurring Cost Increase -$9,000,000 (Facility Expansion)

7 KANKAKEE COUNTY

Probation

The additional workload would result in the need for three additional probation officer positions, one in intake and two in general caseload supervision cost of this would be approximately $129,936 which includes salary and benefits. This figure does not reflect the additional cost of annual training for each officer as required by statute.

The additional staff above would require work stations including desk, computers, chairs, phones and general office supplies at a cost of approximately $7500. Current office space is not available for two of the three positions that would be needed. The cost to locate or create the needed space is unknown at this time.

There would be additional cost for travel related expenses to provide services to the increased caseloads.

$129,936 salary and benefits (3 additional staff) $7500 (Work stations,, including desk, computers, chairs, phones, and office supplies)

Total Cost Increase for probation - $137,436 (Not including training and travel expenses) Detention Kankakee County would detain an additional 64 minors annually at River Valley Detention Center in Joliet EL, or which Kankakee owns 25% (twenty six beds). This increase would result in 1 104 additional detention days The increase in operational cost at our detention center for Kankakee County will be approximately $19,500/month for a total increase annually of $233,875. For details regarding increase in daily operational cost please see Fiscal Impact Report from Will County River Valley Detention Center.

Currently the Kankakee County Sheriffs Department provides transportation for all'minors detained at River Valley Detention Center. They would incur additional cost for travel and staffing in order to service the additional population of juveniles detained. Probation officers travel on a weekly basis to the detention facility to complete court ordered reports. The River Valley Detention Center is. approximately 50 miles from our county seat.

Total Annual Cost Increase for Detention - $233,875 (not including additional transport and mileage costs.)

Residential Placement

Kankakee County would average three additional minors in residential placement per year The cost for placing these minors would range from $108,000 to$288,000 per year. Current placement budget for , 2008 is $293,215.

Total Annual Cost Increase for Residential Placement - $108,000 to $288,000

8 DU "PAGE COUNTY.

Cost of line staff P4 salary and Benefits is $47,965.

Probation Casework Probation

857 cases on '07 x 1.30 = 1114 cases, or an increase of 257 cases. (DuPage County Probation Cont' d.)

257 Cases High risk .30 x 257 cases = 77 high risk cases = 4 high risk caseworkers Medium risk .50 x 257 cases= 128 medium cases= 3 medium risk caseworkers Low risk .20 x 257 cases = 51 low risk cases = .5 low risk caseworkers

7.5 extra caseworkers x $47965 =$359,737 for probation.

Juvenile Investigators (DuPage County Probation Cont'd)

472 Investigations competed in 2007 x 1.30=614 cases. Full load for investigators in 2007 is 472/5=94 investigations per PO Increase of 30% yields 614 cases-472 investigations =142 investigations Increase of 30 additional cases per PO would require 1/3 investigative PO, rounded up to additional .5 position. .5 X $47,965 =$23,983 for the 1/2 position investigator

Functional Family Therapist

1 additional therapist would be required to maintain the same client/therapist ratio with the increase of 30% in caseload.

Starting salary of FFT therapist is $39,000 x 1.35 to-include benefits =$52,650. Additional cost for the required 1 FFT therapist is $52,650.

Multisystemic Treatment Therapist (MST Therapist)

Similar to FFT program this increase in caseload would result in a necessary increase of 1 MST therapist position and the same additional cost as FFT of $52,650.

Preliminary Conferences

1152 Data sheets screened and Preliminary Conferences conducted in '07. Full work load is 1152/1.5 officers =768 (Full work load per officer) 1152 x 1.3 = 1498 cases with 17 year olds in system

9 (DuPage County Probation Cont'd.) .

1498 cases-1.152 cases = 356 case increase Increase of 346 cases is approximately '/2 additional Preliminary Conference Officer. .5 x $47965=$23,983 additional cost of %2 Preliminary Conference Officer

Community Service

The juvenile division has one position devoted to community service placement and monitoring. In. 2007, 278 youths were placed into community service.

With a projected 30% increase, the-278 would grow by 83 more cases. This would call for the equivalent of an additional %2 position.

.5 x $47,965 = $23,983 additional cost for 1/2 community service officer.

Home Detention

The Home Detention Unit can comfortably manage a 30% increase in juvenile workload without addition of officers. Home Detention utilizes electronic monitoring equipment that cost $35,563 to use iii 2007. If 30% additional uses of the equipment were to occur due to the new 17 year olds in juvenile it would result in a total cost of $46,232 for an increase of $10,667.

Medical Budget

DuPage County spent $65,428 for the medical needs for juvenile probationers in 2007. These costs generally are in the category of psychological, psychiatric, sex offender evaluations, and a variety of different forms of counseling. The total cost of the medical budget would rise to $85,057 for a total increase of $19,628.

PO Supervisory Position

The current PO Supervisor/PO Staff ratio is approximately 6:1, with 43 staff to 7 PO supervisors. With the addition of 11 PO positions required to maintain the same level of service accounting for 17 year olds and to maintain the 6:1 ratio, we would now have 53 PO's and therapists in juvenile and would need 2 additional supervisors.

The starting salary for a supervisor is $48,784, and with, the addition of 35% in benefits, the cost is $68,818. 2 additional supervisors would cost the county 2x$65,818=$131,636.

Support Staff Position

Currently there are 7 support staff for 43 line staff PO's, or approximately a 6:1 ratio. To maintain this ratio, the number of support staff would have to be increased by 2. Starting salary for support'staff is $25,000 with an additional 35%'paid out in benefits. $25,000 x 1.35 =$33,750.

10 (DuPage County Probation Cont'd.)

2 additional support staff x $33,750 = $67,500 in additional costs for support staff.

Total Annual Increase for Probation

Juvenile Caseworkers -- 7.5 additional caseworkers x $47,965 = $359,737 Juvenile investigators - .5 additional investigator x $47,965 = $23,983 Preliminary Conference - .5 additional preliminary conference x $47,965$23,983. Community Service - .5 additional Public Service Officer x $47,965 = $23,983 MST Therapist - 1 additional MST Therapist x $52,650=$52,560 FFT Therapist --1 additional FFT Therapist x $52,650 = $52,650 PO'Supervisory Position -- 2 additional PO supervisors x $65,818 = $131,636 Support Staff Position - 2 additional support, staff x $33,750 = $67,500 Home Detention Costs - Cost of additional Electronic Monitoring = $10,667 Medical Budget - Cost of Increased Services = $19,628

Total Annual Cost Increase for Probation - $766,417

Residential Placement

DuPage County spent approximately $931,188.55 for youth in residential care in 2007. It should not be. surmised that 30% more youths will be placed as a result of the additional 30% increase of the overall caseloads. However, if one additional juvenile were to be placed (which is highly probable), the increase cost would be approximately $75,000.

Total Annual Increase for Residential Placement - $75,000

Detention

No detention figures were available for DuPage County at the time of this writing.

13th Circuit

Probation

There were 623 referrals received by juvenile probation in 2006. Applying NCJJ findings to local data, the number of juvenile referrals would increase by about 185.

11 (13th Circuit Cont'd)

There were 272 juveniles on active supervision at the end of 2006. Given the NCJJ findinigs that workload would increase by about 30%, the probation caseload could increase by 82. One or two additional probation officers would need to be hired at a cost of approximately $35,000 to $70,000 to intake and supervise these youth.

Total Annual Increase for Probation - $70,000

Detention The LaSalle County Juvenile detention Home has the capacity to detain 14 youths. The Detention Horne does have two holding cells that is uses when the population exceeds the rated capacity. The total number of admissions to secure detention in 2007 was 185. The average daily stay for a minor in secure detention was 23 days. This includes the population from Bureau and Grundy Counties, who use LaSalle County detention on a "space available" basis.) For. just LaSalle County, admissions totaled 140 with an average daily stay. for 26 days.

The average daily population of the LaSalle County Detention Home in 2007 was 13. Two snapshots of the LaSalle County Jail taken in 2006 and 2007 indicated the average daily population of 17 year olds was 22.46 and 16.58. Based on these statistics, and that of a possible 30% increase in detention population, the LaSalle County Detention Home could possibly see an increase between 6* and 7 minors that could be added to the detention center's average daily population, which would exceed the detention center's capacity, based on the total amount of admissions.

Current law allows for youth as .young as 10 years old to be placed in juvenile detention. Per juvenile detention standards, the younger youth will need to be separated from the older youth by sight and sound to prevent their association with a more sophisticated criminal element. Due to the design of the LaSalle County Detention Home, segregation cannot exist.

Having an older population in detention will cause a need for more mental health services. Adding a full time mental health counselor to the present staff would cost $57,630.

Revenue collected in FY2007 for. minors from other jurisdictions was in excess of $67,000. If the detention facility operates either at or near capacity, this amount of revenue will be significantly reduced.

Additional costs to the county would be ' for transport of minors to other facilities around the state if the facility reaches capacity.. This would impact the sheriffs budget. Costs to house LaSalle minors in other facilities range from $100 to $150 per day if the facility is at capacity. This would apply to approximate 6 youth staying an average of 26 days, for a total cost of $17,250.

Expanding this facility would cost millions in capital and operating expenses.

Total Annual Increase for Detention - $141,880

12 (13th Circuit Cont'd)

Residential Placement

Total placement expenditures for the Thirteenth Circuit for 2006 and 2007 averaged $391,025. Applying the NCJJ figure of 30% suggests an increase of $117,300 over the existing budget for placement services and detention.

Total Annual Cost Increase for Residential Placement $117,300

LAKE COUNTY

Intake

At the front end of the system is the intake unit.. All business that arrives at the juvenile court comes through thus unit. Juvenile Intake is responsible for the processing of all referrals to the juvenile courts. The Intake Unit also handles any interim conditions ordered by the courts as well as a caseload of minors placed on home confinement. Any transportation of a minor in custody is funneled through and arranged by Intake. Intake officers are responsible for the preparation of a number of different reports, ranging from the intake custody reports to review of detention reports ordered on minors in secure detention.

The total number of referrals processed by Intake in 2005 was 1803. Applying the NCJJ findings to the local data, the number of juvenile referrals would increase by about 540. This additional workload would require two new juvenile counselor positions in the intake/admissions unit, costing about $127,695.

Total annual, cost increase to Intake - $127,695

Probation

Juvenile Probation handled 456 cases in 2005. Juvenile Probation cases are assigned to either a standard probation caseload or a specialized caseload. based on identified issues and risk to re-offend. Cases are assigned to specialized caseloads for reasons such as mental health issues, sex offenses, high-risk cases, gender-specific programming, and non-English speaking clients. The need for specialized casewiork has risen recently and currently represents 52% of the probation caseload.

Given the NCJJ findings that workload would increase by about 30%, the number of investigations could increase by about 150 and the probation caseload could increase by 136. The current staff/caseload ratio is 3 5, and the additional workload would increase the ratio to 45. The recommended caseload for juvenile probatin is 40, so two additional probation officers would need to be hired at a cost of $127,695.

13 (Lake County Cont'd)

Total annual cost increase to Probation - $127,695.

(Combined figure of Intake/Casework -- Total of $255,390)

Detention

The Hulse Detention Center has the capacity to detain up to 48 youths. In 2005, the average daily population of the juvenile detention center was 31. Based upon two snapshots of the Lake County Jail population in 2006, 1917-year-olds were housed on one occasion and 15 on another occasion. Based upon the crimes from which these individuals were arrested, it is estimated that between 12 and 15 additional minors would be housed at the detention center, bringing the population very close to its capacity of 48.

As a result of the additional population,, it would be necessary to bring the kitchen up to full staffing by hiring one full-time cook. Education programming at the detention center would also need to be addressed. The 17 year olds would be required by juvenile detention standards to participate in a full school day with a certified classroom teacher. This would require converting an existing craft room to a classroom and the addition of a teacher. This would add $73,414 for the addition of a teacher and $10,000 for furniture and computers. for a new classroom.

Current law allows for youth, as young as 10 years old to be placed in juvenile detention. 'Per juvenile detention standards, the younger youth will need to be separated from the older youth by sight and . should to prevent their association with a more sophisticated criminal element. The addition of the 17 year olds, therefore, would require the implementation of a classification system to assign the detainees to pods. Two new juvenile counselors would have to be hired to supervise the youth under these circumstances.

Costs associated with the increased population of the detention center are summarized as follows:

One full-time cook: $49,270 Furniture and computers for a new classroom : $10,000 Certified Teacher: $73,414 Two new juvenile counselor positions in the detention center: $127,695

Total Increase for Detention: $260,379

Residential Placement

Lake County currently budgets $500,000 a year for juvenile probation services and residential placements, with $200,000 designated for psychological services and $300,000 designated for placements.

14 Lake County Contd.

Actual Expenditures for juvenile probation services and residential placements in FY 2005 were $489,531 . Applying the NCJJ figure of a 30% increase in workload to this line. item suggests an increase of $136,391 over the existing budget for psychological services and placements.

Total Increase for Psychological Services/Residential Placements - $136,391

CONCLUSION Adding 17 year old offenders to the Juvenile Justice System will impact the system in a variety of ways. It is imperative that these financial concerns be addressed as the General Assembly considers this legislation. If this legislation is passed as an unfunded mandate, the counties will face a financial and workload crisis that will not easily or quickly be resolved.

The Honorable John E. Bradley Illinois House of Representatives 265-S Stratton Office Building Springfield, Illinois 62706-0001

Re: SB2820

Dear Representative Bradley:

Thank you for the opportunity to present information from the perspective of a Chief County Assessment Officer (CCAO). I am the Legislative Chair for Area One of the County Assessment Officer's Association, which consists of CCAOs from Boone, Bureau, Carroll, Cook, DeKalb, McHenry, DuPage, Grundy, Henry, Jo Daviess, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Lee, Marshall, Mercer, Ogle, Putnam, Rock Island, Stephenson, Whiteside, Will, and Winnebago Counties. I have been in contact with many of my counterparts , and the general consensus is that we are moving in the right direction with the changes that have already been made to SB2820 in the Senate.

However, we do have one major concern. As currently drafted, the law requires immediate implementation, which, is not possible; we are already well into the 2008 tax cycle. However, for many counties statewide, implementation in 2009 is very difficult. For many of the counties, this will require process improvements and software upgrades . And since budgets for 2008 have already been completed, we are looking at 2009 before many counties will be able to afford to begin to take the steps to implement these provisions. If required to implement this law in 2009, there are counties that will have to choose between a) ignoring the law for 2009 , or b) implementing the law, but sending out tax bills late, resulting in millions of taxpayer dollars spent in interest charges on tax anticipation warrants.

Recommended Solution: Amend Section 99 to read Effective date. This Act takes effect ors. January 1. 2010 upon becomi~ law.

The CCAOs of Area One have also noted two minor concerns; we offer solutions for each one:

Concern : If a township maintains the property information in a database, SB2820 requires the CCAO to publish the website where that information is available. It provides no guidance for situations where the township has a CAMA system, but not a website.

Our Mission: An equitable assessment for every parcel. The Honorable John E. Bradley May 12, 2008 Page 2 of 2

Possible Solution: Amend subsection d to read and where one or more townships in the coun maintain and control an electronic database containin g the physical characteristics of the property. and some' or all of the database is available via a website that is maintained and controlled by the township the notice shall include .

Concert: The requirement of a "plain-English explanation" of the equalization process, will result'in 101 different explanations of a process that is nominally identical in each of the counties. Additionally, state equalization factors will not have been issued at the time of notice to the taxpayers.

Possible Solution: Amend subsection fto read: The chief county assessment officer in every_ coun with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants must provide a plain-English -explanation of all townshi coun and State equalization factors including the rationale and methods used to determine the a ualizations. The Department of R evenue shall provide each chief county assessment officer with the plain-English ex lanation of the State equal izationfactor as well as a sample plain-English explanation of township and county equalization factors.

On behalf of Area One CCAOs, I thank you for. the opportunity to present information and work together for a more open and transparent assessment process.

Very truly yours,

Mark D. Arhistrong, CIAO
