( Of f, City of Elgin Agenda Item No. C 0- S) • January 2, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Robert 0. Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Agreement with the Village of South Elgin to House Prisoners PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Mayor and members of the City Council to consider an agreement to temporarily house Village of South Elgin prison- ers . BACKGROUND The City of Elgin has been approached by the Village of South Elgin requesting an agreement to house prisoners. This request is necessitated by construction and remodeling of the South Elgin Village Hall and Police Department. The agreement provides for their prisoners being held over- night for bond call. The agreement is for a 120-day period. The Village of South Elgin is responsible for a $50 per day fee per prisoner and for any medical expenses incurred. An analysis of Elgin's jail population has shown no negative impact. There are currently 27 cells available, with an average daily population of four prisoners per day, with occasionally up to 15 prisoners. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The South Elgin Police Department, Village Administrator and Village Board have reviewed and approved the agreement draft- ed by the City of Elgin. FINANCIAL IMPACT This agreement provides for a $50 per day fee for every prisoner held to cover expenses incurred. It is anticipated that 2-4 prisoners will be held each week, generating $100-200 per week, for an anticipated revenue of $1,200-2,400 . LEGAL IMPACT None. Intergovernmental Agreement/Village of South Elgin January 2, 1997 "" Page 2 ALTERNATIVES The City may choose to decline the housing of South Elgin prisoners. This would require South Elgin to find other jail sites or transport prisoners to the Kane County jail in Geneva. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City of Elgin enter into a tempo- rary agreement with the Village of South Elgin to house prisoners for a period of 120 days .
