Summary: Since January 16, 2013, per an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Cook County ("County"), by and through the Department of Revenue ("DOR"), and the Office of the Cook County State's Attorney and the State of Illinois, by and through its State Comptroller's Office, the County has participated in the Local Debt Recovery Program, whereby the Illinois Office of the Comptroller has assisted in collecting unpaid debt owed to the County. Authorization is hereby requested to amend the existing IGA. The amendments clarify the process for administration of the program, usage of new software acquired by the Illinois Office of the Comptroller, notice requirements and future amendments.
Since the IGA was originally executed, a small pilot program involving the Individual Use Tax has resulted in collection of approximately $25,000 in outstanding debt for the County. We hope to include additional tax types to increase the amount of collection over the coming year.
This Intergovernmental Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Cook County State's Attorney Office.
