Summary/Notes: Requesting approval of a lease agreement between K&S Investment Group, LLC, an Illinois Limited Liability Company, as Lessor, and the County of Cook, a body corporate and politic of the State of Illinois, as Lessee, for approximately 3,300 square feet of space on the 2nd floor, located at 1948 West Carroll Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60622. This lease agreement is on behalf of the Office of the Chief Judge.
Currently, the Juvenile Redeploy Program is being operated by Youth Services Outreach; however, due to ongoing administrative challenges, the Office of the Chief Judge has decided to administer the program itself, which will enable it to effectively implement its enhanced Juvenile Redeploy Program Model.
Existing courthouse facilities cannot support the expanded staffing and confidentiality requirements, nor can it accommodate the after-school service hours. This dedicated office space will provide a safe, accessible, youth-friendly environment that aligns with best practices and will ensure equitable service delivery. All leasehold costs are 100% funded by the Juvenile Redeploy Grant.
