Joint resolution authorizing an amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) (864-13, Modification 2) between the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and the Lake County Work Release Center.

• In 2013, an IGA with the BOP and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office was entered into in order to establish responsibilities for providing secure custody, housing and safekeeping of adjudicated Board of Prison inmates.

• Most recently, the County approved amendments to the IGA (864-13, Modification 1) that require the implementation of additional policy and operational compliance procedures regarding the use of technology (cell phones) and that inmates be given access to Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act information and be allowed to enroll in health insurance prior to discharge from the facility.

• The IGA Modification (864-13, Modification 2) requires the county to cease collecting the subsistence payments from BOP inmates. The agreement outlines that this action is being taken in recognition that the process of re-entry following incarceration is very difficult especially financially due to long periods of unemployment.

• This has no financial impact to Lake County revenue. Under this new agreement, BOP will pay Lake County the full amount for inmates who transfer from BOP to Lake County administered home confinement.

Joint resolution approving a renewal of the Lake County Sheriff’s Department Cooperative State and Local Agreement.

• The Sheriff’s Office is actively working with the United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to collaborate and work together to solve drug crimes.

• The County knows that the illegal drug industry is not limited by local government boundaries; therefore, this agreement allows the Lake County Sheriff’s office to collaborate with Chicago Field Division (CFD)/DEA to solve Lake County drug crimes that have related criminal activity occurring in Chicago. This teamwork is critical in solving complex multi-jurisdictional drug crimes.

• The agreement acknowledges the working relationship between the Sheriff’s Office and the DEA and requires a two-year commitment by the Sheriff’s Office.

• The agreement requires us to assign one experienced deputy to the (CFD) of the DEA. The DEA will be responsible for all costs associated with the CFD to insure program success.

• As the result of our contribution to the CFD’s efforts, any arrest we participate in allows us to receive a portion of the asset seized during the event. Seizure funds are distributed to DEA partners and the County’s percentage depends on the number of jurisdictions and the number of hours each jurisdiction spends on the event.

• To-date, lake county has collected $92,175.98 in federal drug seizure funds.
