PROPOSED TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Department: Cook County's State's Attorney's Office
Request: Transfer of Funds
Reason: To create a budget neutral accounting entry to reflect a credit of $1,000,000.00 to permit the State's Attorney's Office ("SAO") to account for Justice Advisory Council ("JAC") funding under an interagency agreement approved by the County Board and executed on January 20, 2026 for the Pretrial Alternatives to Juvenile Detention Pilot Program (the "Program"). The SAO has partnered with New Life Centers and Firehouse Community Arts Center of Chicago and all eligible and approved costs will be reimbursed by the Justice Advisory Council.
From Account(s): 11100.1250.15395.580380-Appropriation Adjustment ($1,000,000.00)
To Account(s): 11100.1250.15395.520830- Professional Services $1,000,000.00
Total Amount of Transfer: $1,000,000.00
On what date did it become apparent that the receiving account would require an infusion of funds in order to meet current obligations? What was the balance in the account on that date, and what was the balance 30 days prior to that date?
On January 20, 2026, the JAC and SAO entered into an interagency agreement under which the JAC will reimburse up to $1,000,000 of the SAO's allowable and approved costs incurred through the partnership with New Life Centers and Firehouse Community Arts Center of Chicago as it relates to the Program. The balance on both above mentioned accounts is currently zero. This is a budget neutral accounting entry to establish an account against which reimbursements by the JAC will be credited, and against which to debit Program payments to New Life Centers and Firehouse Community Arts Center of Chicago.
How was the account used for the source of transferred funds identified? List any other accounts that were also considered (but not used) as the source of the transferred funds.
The Appropriation Adjustment account is used to reflect any expected credits to the SAO budget.
