AN ORDINANCE
CREATING AN EMPLOYMENT DEMONSTRATION PILOT PROJECT
FOR
FIRST TIME NONVIOLENT OFFENDERS ENTITLED
“THE
COOK COUNTY RE-ENTRY EMPLOYMENT PROJECT”
WHEREAS, Illinois has the ninth largest prison system
in the United States; and
WHEREAS, there are currently almost 44,000
individuals incarcerated by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) with
an additional 35,000 under the Department’s supervision in the State of
Illinois; and
WHEREAS, there are now more than 11,000 persons incarcerated
in the Cook County Department of Corrections; and
WHEREAS, the majority of individuals currently
incarcerated have committed non-violent offenses; and
WHEREAS, the majority of these individuals upon
release return to communities within Cook County; and
WHEREAS, there are currently 425,000 formerly
incarcerated individuals in Illinois with the majority residing in communities
within Cook County; and
WHEREAS, there are approximately 30,000 inmates
scheduled to be released from IDOC institutions this year with more than 60%
returning to Cook County; and
WHEREAS, currently there is a 44% recidivism rate for
former offenders released from state correctional facilities in Illinois; and
WHEREAS, access to livable wage employment has proven
to be a key factor in reducing the re-commission of crime and the rate of
recidivism; and
WHEREAS, the unemployment rate among former
incarcerated individuals who are county residents is higher than the general
population in large part due to the social stigma of being an ex-offender,
unfair employment discrimination, and the lack of access to legal employment
opportunities, education and vocational training within sectors of government
and private industry due to current policies; and
WHEREAS, government should be an exemplar to private
industry in regards to providing equal opportunity for qualified individuals
seeking employment.

ITEM #1 cont’d
Section 5-2 Ex-Offender Employment Readiness Program
As the first phase for an individual to become eligible for a Cook
County issued Certificate of Completion, s/he would need to complete a job
readiness program specifically designed for former offenders and designated by
the Cook County Board of Commissioners as a qualifying training program.
Such a training program shall provide intake and screening services to
identify needs of each participant and develop a specific employability
training plan. All training plans shall include core modules to address, in a
holistic approach, the special needs of former offenders seeking employment
within the County and/or with designated County contractors. The modules shall
include information/education, skill building and behavioral modification
techniques in the areas of cognitive
restructuring, resume preparation, interviewing, alcohol and substance abuse
prevention, anger management and conflict resolution, and relationships in the
work place.
The designated Community Based Organization providing training shall also
have referral agreements in place with educational institutions and social
service agencies for participants to access supportive services for assistance
with food, clothing, housing, substance abuse counseling, GED classes,
vocational training, and family reunification services. The work readiness
program shall also include an aftercare component which will serve as an
on-going support system for candidates who have successfully completed the core
training modules.
Eligibility criteria for admission to the former offender
work-readiness training program
shall be established by the community based organizations that are operating such programs with
the specific inclusion of the following: Participants must be screened for
motivation to participate in the program, history of drug and alcohol
use/abuse, mental health history, type of offense committed, criminal record,
current immediate support needs
(housing, food, clothing, temporary emergency financial assistance, etc.),
employment history, educational background, and willingness to change their
thinking and behavior.
Section-5-3 County Internship Program
Upon successful completion of the Employment Readiness Training
program, participants shall become eligible for a twelve (12) month Internship
Program. The Internship Program will
have the goal of one hundred (100) entry level positions in Cook County
government that are identified as vacant in each fiscal year budget. Participants will be paid the salary
consistent with the grade level budgeted for each vacant position as well as
all county health benefits.
Participants will not be considered for positions where there is a
direct relationship between the previous criminal offense and the specific job
sought, or if the employment of the participant would involve an unreasonable
risk to property or to safety or welfare of specific individuals or the general
public.
Upon successful completion of the designated internship, participants
may then petition the Review Panel for the issuance of a Certificate of Completion. Once issued,
participants may then apply for an appropriate full time position that is
available with the County and/or participating private sector employers.
ARTICLE
VI. IMPACT OF COUNTY ISSUED CERTIFICATE
OF COMPLETION
Section 6-1 This
Section shall not affect the right of a person to collaterally attack his
conviction or to rely on it in bar of subsequent proceedings for the same
offense.
(a) A Certificate
of Completion does not, however, in any way prevent any judicial proceeding,
administrative, licensing, or other body, board, or authority from relying upon
the conviction specified in the Certificate of Completion as the basis for the
exercise of its discretionary power to suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or
refuse to renew any license, permit, or other authority or privilege.
(b) A
Certificate of Completion shall not limit or prevent the introduction of
evidence of a prior conviction for purposes of impeachment of a witness in a
judicial or other proceeding where otherwise authorized by the applicable rules
of evidence.

ITEM #1 cont’d
(c) A
Certificate of Completion may not in any way prevent any judicial proceeding,
administrative, licensing, or other body, board, or authority from considering
the conviction specified in the certificate.
(d) A Certificate of Completion shall not limit or
prevent the introduction of evidence of a prior conviction for purposes of
impeachment of a witness in a judicial or other proceeding where otherwise
authorized by the applicable rules of evidence.
(e) A
Certificate of Completion is not to be deemed to be a pardon. Nothing contained
in this Ordinance shall be deemed to alter or limit or affect the manner of
applying for pardons to the Governor, and no certificate issued under this
Ordinance shall be deemed or construed to be a Pardon.
Section 6-2 Grievance Process
It is not the intention of this Ordinance or the actions of the Review
Panel or the Board of Cook County Commissioners to replace or substitute any
employee grievance process that currently exists in County government. This Ordinance does not preclude a
participant from exercising any due process rights that may be available to
them.
(a) If
a participant is subject to an adverse action by their employer/supervisor and
a grievance procedure exists to address the employee’s issue, the participant
must exhaust the process for redress.
(b) This
ordinance does not create a separate or alternative grievance process for
participants to seek redress from an adverse action taken against them.
ARTICLE
VII. REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATE OF
COMPLETION
Section 7.1 In revoking a Certificate of Completion, the action of the Cook County
Board of Commissioners shall be by majority vote of the members.
(a) Revocation shall be upon notice to the person, who shall be accorded an opportunity
to contest the grounds of revocation prior to a decision to revoke the
Certificate of Completion.
(b) Any
such person possessing a Certificate of Completion shall upon receipt of the
determination of revocation, surrender the certificate to the Cook County Board
of Commissioners or its designee.
(c) A
person who knowingly uses or attempts to use a revoked Certificate of
Completion in order to obtain or to exercise any right or privilege that they
would not be entitled to obtain or to exercise without a valid Certificate of
Completion is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
(d) If
the program participant is involuntarily terminated from their employment with
Cook County for cause, the Certificate of Completion will automatically be
revoked.
ARTICLE
VIII. FORMS AND FILING
Section 8-1 (a) All applications, certificates, and orders of revocation necessary
for the purposes of this Ordinance shall be upon forms prescribed under an
agreement among the Review Panel, the Clerk of the Circuit Court and the Cook
County Board of Commissioners or their designees. The forms relating to
Certificates of Completion shall be distributed by the Clerk of the Circuit
Court.
(b) A
copy of each Certificate of Completion issued shall be filed with the Clerk of
the Circuit Court. Documentation
reflecting the revocation of a Certificate of Completion shall also be filed
with Clerk of the Circuit Court.
