Monday Government At Work

OCTOBER 3, 2011

8:15 a.m. – Law and Justice Committee of McHenry County Board –

Meeting in the conference room of the County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The Committee is to view a presentation regarding the next steps on the Integrated Justice Project.

On a similar topic, the committee will consider authorizing a contract with New Dawn Technologies, Inc. for JustWare Case Management Software for the State’s Attorney and Public Defender. This is part of a County Board Strategic Goal of Integrated Justice. New Dawn Technologies, Inc, Utah, was the successful bidder for this portion at a cost not to exceed $1,537,500.

The Committee is also to consider the purchase of one new vehicle for the Coroner’s Office. It has been found that the County can purchase the desired four-wheel vehicle through State bidding at a cost of $30,896.75.

The Committee is also to consider a $90,783.34 request from the Special Prosecutors and Consultants. This is to cover the months of August 2010 through November 2010. In April the County issued a $20,873.00 check to satisfy a payment request. The new request exceeds the amount the County has encumbered in a Contingency Fund for these services by $12,971.53.  It is necessary to have the county board approval to increase the encumbered amount for the services by the $12,971.53.

A resolution is being presented for the Committee’s consideration to authorize the McHenry County Emergency Management Agency to coordinate the establishment and coordination of a Citizens Corps Council. This would provide a coordinated and planned process of volunteer and citizen training to assist in emergencies.

The Committee is also being requested to consider accepting a $10,810 grant for the Illinois Child Passenger Safety Program. The funding is for the purpose of providing education of proper use and installation f safety seats, proper use of seat belts and distribute needed safety seats to the community along with educational materials and hold related community events.

A $54,260 grant is being awarded to the McHenry County Sheriff’s office for recognition by the Illinois Department of Transportation for their work on implementing traffic safety campaigns.
