∙ This is a request to renew the VCVA grant administered through the Office of the Illinois Attorney General, with a grant period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Funding for this grant began in 1990 and has been renewed each year.

∙ The SFY 2024 grant will fund $65,404 for salary and $28,248 for fringe benefits for one full-time Domestic Violence Victim Specialist (DV Coordinator) to serve as a liaison to victims of domestic violence in Lake County, as well as $1,348 to fund relevant staff training on trauma-informed care, an increase of $58,400 from the SFY 2023 award of $36,600.
∙ The DV Coordinator position and grant are already included in the State’s Attorney’s approved Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 budget and an emergency appropriation of $1,348 is necessary for the grant funded training.

Joint resolution authorizing a line-item transfer for licensing, software, implementation, maintenance, and project management for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office’s shared, integrated public safety Records Management System (RMS), Jail Management System (JMS), E-Citation, and E-Crash Software in the amount of $300,000 from the General Operating Expense contingency funds, due to an extension of the implementation timeline.
∙ The Sheriff Department’s new program request to replace its end-of-life Computer Aided Dispatch, Records Management, and Jail Management
Systems was approved in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 budget in the amount of $3,450,000 based on an estimated cost for the replacement system(s) only.
∙ In May 2021, a contract in the amount of $2,831,209 was approved for the replacement of the Lake County Sheriff’s RMS, JMS, E-Citation, and E-Crash to be funded from the FY 2020 allocation. The Lake County ETSB was independently funding a shared, integrated CAD system.
∙ In May 2021, a separate contract with a project management firm, in the amount of $608,125 was approved for project management services through the entire public safety software implementation. This encumbered the remaining FY 2020 allocation, leaving minimal funding for project contingencies.
∙ Contingency funding was planned and budgeted in FY 2023 to cover the transfer of additional funds to this project, if required.
∙ It has been determined that additional funding is necessary for the successful implementation of the program and a line-item transfer in the amount of $300,000 is necessary to appropriate funds.
