GRANT AWARD
ITEM #6
APPROVED
Transmitting a Communication, dated February 27, 2002 from
TIMOTHY C. EVANS, Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County
requesting authorization to accept a grant in the amount of
$300,000.00 from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority
(ICJIA). This grant will fund services
to delinquent minors identified by the court to be in need of clinical
intervention. Multi-Systemic Therapy
(MST) clinicians will provide intensive therapeutic services for minors between
the ages 12 and 17 who have been diagnosed with mental health disorders. The services provided by this program will
help to reduce the number of minors placed in expensive residential treatment
facilities by allowing minors to remain in the community without compromising
public safety.
The MST model was developed approximately fifteen years ago
by at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Through the combined use of well-known therapeutic techniques such as
cognitive behavior therapy, MST addresses complex issues faced by multi-need
families. Also, MST clinical
interventions target the family as the client rather than the individual
minor. Strong evaluation, quality
assurance measures through strict adherence to well-defined protocols, and
follow-up are essential components of MST.
Grant funds will be used to pay for therapeutic services, as well as
travel by staff, computers and telecommunications equipment and office
supplies.
The grant requires cash matching funds from Cook County of
$100,000.00.
Estimated Fiscal Impact:
$100,000.00. Grant Award: $300,000.00.
Funding period: March 1, 2002
through September 30, 2002. (326-237
Account).

safety program. The additional funding
will supplement the court’s current grant of $385,160.00, which expires

Increase requested: |

|
Adjusted amount: |
$ 279,000.00 |

Reason: |
Essentially, the need for the extension is that we
underestimated the complexity of the changes required. Requirements were understood at a high
level, but once the project team worked through the details, we could see
that the modifications would be more extensive. In fact some of the functionality that we
thought could occur at the registers must be performed within the TRIMS due
to the nature of the registers software, thus adding to the amount of changes
to TRIMS and we had to additionally develop batch backup processing to be
used should the real time updates from the registers not go through. This extension should be all that is
required to complete this project. |

Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County has collected fees from civil filings
for the year 2001 for disbursement to the Dispute Resolution Centers which

of the Circuit Court of Cook County was found to be Center for Conflict

Pursuant to
the Illinois Not-For-Profit Dispute Resolution Act (710, 20/1 et seq.), any

WHEREAS, a resolution honoring

U.S. allied countries, who were similarly inducted into the service of the U.S.
armed forces during World War II, were granted full U.S. veterans status; and
WHEREAS, shortly after the war in 1946, the U.S. Congress passed the
Rescission Act which specifically mandates that services rendered by Filipino
World War II veterans, “…shall not be deemed to have been active military,
naval, or air service for the purposes of any law of the United States
conferring rights, privileges or benefits…”; and
WHEREAS, there is pending legislation (House Resolution 491) in the
U.S. Congress that will restore full United States veterans status to Filipino
World War II veterans; and
WHEREAS, the Cook County Board
President and the Board of Commissioners request the President and Congress
of the United States to take action necessary to amend the 1946 Rescission Act
and honor our country’s moral obligation to restore these Filipino veterans
full United States veteran status with the military benefits that they deserve.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the President and Board of
Commissioners of Cook County, on behalf of the Filipino-American soldiers,
urges the United States Congress to pass House Resolution 491 to restore full
United States veterans status to Filipino World War II veterans; and
