Overview

Overview

This is an agreement among ten taxing districts in Oak Park and River Forest who each pay a share of this contract for services related to youth gang prevention, drugs & violence.  The Oak Park Township is the primary district who manages the program.  The program assists families and neighborhoods through case management and supports the communities of Oak Park and River Forest through staff training, inter-unit cooperation and confidential information sharing.  The annual total for 2018-2020 is $255,000.  Each district’s share ranges from 1.5% to 24%.  The Villabe of Oak Park pays 24% or $60,000 in 2018/19 and $61,200 in 2019/20.

 

Body

Staff Recommendation

Approve the Resolution.

 

Fiscal Impact

Funds for this program are budgeted in the General Fund 1001-410202-101-530667 in the Village Manager’s Office.  The Village of Oak Park pays 24% or $60,000 in 2018/19 and $61,200 in 2019/20.

 

Background

The Village of Oak Park has participated in this program for the last 19 years.  In 2010, the Village asked the Council of Governments and the Township to review the share that each district pays to ensure fairness in the distribution.  The Village’s share was lowered slightly in 2011 from 28.24% to 24%.

 

Last month the Village of River Forest voted to not renew participation.   The Township is unsure of this time of the impact to services, if at all.   The Township indicated that the River Forest Township may provide some additional funding.

 

Alternatives

The Village Board could not continue with this program or ask for additional time to review.
