SHERIFF OF COOK COUNTY, Thomas J. Dart, by David S. Devane, Executive Director, Department of Community Supervision and Intervention:

 

requesting authorization for the Purchasing Agent to extend for twelve (12) months, Contract No. 05-73-561 with HEALTHCARE ALTERNATIVE SERVICES, INC. (HAS), Chicago, Illinois, for a substance abuse treatment program for the Sheriff’s Department of Community Supervision and Intervention, Day Reporting Center.

 

Reason:   The Sheriff’s Office is exercising a one-year extension option as per contract documents.  Healthcare Alternative Systems, Inc. (HAS) has seven (7) staff serving the population of the Day Reporting Program.  Most of the staff are Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors who provide classroom-size counseling or cognitive instruction focused on substance abuse education and treatment, relapse prevention, drug dependency education, and cognitive-behavioral restructuring.  HAS staff also provided limited individual counseling, case management, community referrals for ancillary services, and on-site drug testing.  The expiration date of the current contract is January 8, 2008.

 

Estimated Fiscal Impact:  $597,938.00.  Contract extension:  January 9, 2008 through January 8, 2009.  (236-298 Account).

 

Approval of this item would commit Fiscal Year 2008 and future year funds.

 

* Referred to the Committee on Finance on 10/02/07.

290358

COOK COUNTY ASSESSOR, James M. Houlihan, by John M. Fallon, Special Assistant to the Assessor, transmitting a Communication:

 

requesting authorization for the Purchasing Agent to enter into a contract with ACS GOVERNMENT RECORDS MANAGEMENT, Dallas, Texas, for enhancements to the Recorder of Deeds indexing module of the 20/20 Perfect Vision System and two (2) years of maintenance and technical support for the Assessor’s Scanning and Document Imaging System.  These enhancements will give the Recorder of Deeds the ability to capture the additional data from the IL PTAX-203 Transfer Declaration Form.  This data is currently being captured by the Assessor’s Office and is needed to support the Illinois Department of Revenue’s Sales Ration Study and the Assessor’s Office Assessment Cycle.  The enhancements to the Recorder’s 20/20 System will eliminate the duplicative data entry efforts being made by the Recorder of Deeds and the Assessor’s Office, and give the Recorder of Deeds the ability to capture all of the data needed by the agencies.

 

Reason:   ACS Government Records Management (ACS) is the original vendor for the Recorder of Deeds 20/20 Perfect Vision System and the Assessor’s Scanning and Document Imaging System.  The Recorder of Deeds and the Assessor’s Office Imaging Systems contain ACS proprietary software or software customized exclusively by ACS to meet business needs.  To have another vendor undertake these enhancements and have them enter our environments to learn our systems and business processes would be very costly and timely.  ACS fully understands the Recorder of Deeds and Assessor’s Office Imaging Systems and the related business functions that will be implemented, making this the best way to achieve our goals in a cost efficient manner.

 

Estimated Fiscal Impact:  $61,500.00.  Contract period:  December 1, 2007 through November 30, 2009.  (040-441 Account).  Requisition No. 70400037.

 

Approval of this item would commit Fiscal Year 2007 and 2008 funds.

 

The Chief Information Officer has reviewed this item and concurs with this recommendation.

ACCURATE POSITION TITLES AND SALARY GRADES REPORT (PROPOSED RESOLUTION).  Submitting a Proposed Resolution sponsored by Deborah Sims, County Commissioner.

 

PROPOSED RESOLUTION

 

ACCURATE POSITION TITLES AND SALARY GRADES REPORT

 

WHEREAS, Cook County government is in a challenging budget year and is working on passing a balanced fiscal year 2008 budget by finding an appropriate balance between cutting expenses and generating additional revenues; and

 

WHEREAS, Cook County government is making concentrated efforts to cut expenses by streamlining operations through the elimination of duplicity in various government departments through consolidation, increasing revenue collection efforts and improving efficiencies; and

 

WHEREAS, it is nearly impossible for the Board of Commissioners to make thoughtful decisions as to whether various positions are necessary to the operation and core missions of County departments, when many budget titles and salary grades contained in the County budget do not accurately describe the work being performed by people in those budgeted positions; and

 

WHEREAS, arbitrarily cutting positions is neither conducive to providing core services for which this government is responsible and upon which our citizens rely, nor to streamlining operations to run effectively and efficiently; and

 

WHEREAS, there is a long history of not updating position titles in the County budget as those positions and the duties of people in those budgeted positions have evolved over the years; and

 

WHEREAS, it is the desire of this Honorable Body to receive the most accurate information available to make the necessary changes and decisions to ensure this government will be financially viable and responsible to the taxpayers it represents and efficiently provide the services for which it is mandated; and

 

WHEREAS, having the necessary information to make informed decisions on where to make cuts if necessary, is essential to running an effective organization.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Cook County Board of Commissioners does hereby request that the Bureau of Human Resources provide the County Board, no later than September 1, 2008, with a list of all positions in the County, by department, which show position titles and salary grades that accurately reflect the work being performed by people in those positions; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Cook County Department of Budget and Management Services shall incorporate this list of updated budget titles and salary grades into the Cook County Board President’s fiscal year 2009 budget recommendation.

 

* Referred to the Committee on Finance on 11/06/07.

requesting authorization for the Purchasing Agent to renew Contract No. 06-41-378 with HEWLETT PACKARD COMPANY, Roseville, California, to provide maintenance of software support systems.

 

Reason:      This software is proprietary to the Hewlett Packard Company and therefore is the only source of support and maintenance.

 

Estimated Fiscal Impact:  $27,811.20.  Contract period:  January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.  (239-441 Account).  Requisition No. 82390008.
