AN ORDINANCE CREATING AN EMPLOYMENT DEMONSTRATION PILOT PROJECT
FOR FIRST TIME NONVIOLENT OFFENDERS ENTITLED
“THE COOK COUNTY RE-ENTRY EMPLOYMENT PROJECT”
WHEREAS, Illinois has the ninth largest prison system in the United States; and
WHEREAS, there are currently almost 44,000 individuals incarcerated by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) with an additional 35,000 under the Department’s supervision in the State of Illinois; and
WHEREAS, there are now more than 11,000 persons incarcerated in the Cook County Department of Corrections; and
WHEREAS, the majority of individuals currently incarcerated have committed non-violent offenses; and
WHEREAS, the majority of these individuals upon release return to communities within Cook County; and
WHEREAS, there are currently 425,000 formerly incarcerated individuals in Illinois with the majority residing in communities within Cook County; and
WHEREAS, there are approximately 30,000 inmates scheduled to be released from IDOC institutions this year with more than 60% returning to Cook County; and
WHEREAS, currently there is a 44% recidivism rate for former offenders released from state correctional facilities in Illinois; and
WHEREAS, access to livable wage employment has proven to be a key factor in reducing the re-commission of crime and the rate of recidivism; and
WHEREAS, the unemployment rate among former incarcerated individuals who are county residents is higher than the general population in large part due to the social stigma of being an ex-offender, unfair employment discrimination, and the lack of access to legal employment opportunities, education and vocational training within sectors of government and private industry due to current policies; and
WHEREAS, government should be an exemplar to private industry in regards to providing equal opportunity for qualified individuals seeking employment.

ITEM #1 cont’d
Section 5-2 Ex-Offender Employment Readiness Program
As the first phase for an individual to become eligible for a Cook County issued Certificate of Completion, s/he would need to complete a job readiness program specifically designed for former offenders and designated by the Cook County Board of Commissioners as a qualifying training program.
Such a training program shall provide intake and screening services to identify needs of each participant and develop a specific employability training plan. All training plans shall include core modules to address, in a holistic approach, the special needs of former offenders seeking employment within the County and/or with designated County contractors. The modules shall include information/education, skill building and behavioral modification techniques in the areas of cognitive restructuring, resume preparation, interviewing, alcohol and substance abuse prevention, anger management and conflict resolution, and relationships in the work place.
The designated Community Based Organization providing training shall also have referral agreements in place with educational institutions and social service agencies for participants to access supportive services for assistance with food, clothing, housing, substance abuse counseling, GED classes, vocational training, and family reunification services. The work readiness program shall also include an aftercare component which will serve as an on-going support system for candidates who have successfully completed the core training modules.
Eligibility criteria for admission to the former offender work-readiness training program shall be established by the community based organizations that are operating such programs with the specific inclusion of the following: Participants must be screened for motivation to participate in the program, history of drug and alcohol use/abuse, mental health history, type of offense committed, criminal record, current immediate support needs (housing, food, clothing, temporary emergency financial assistance, etc.), employment history, educational background, and willingness to change their thinking and behavior.
Section-5-3 County Internship Program
Upon successful completion of the Employment Readiness Training program, participants shall become eligible for a twelve (12) month Internship Program. The Internship Program will have the goal of one hundred (100) entry level positions in Cook County government that are identified as vacant in each fiscal year budget. Participants will be paid the salary consistent with the grade level budgeted for each vacant position as well as all county health benefits.
Participants will not be considered for positions where there is a direct relationship between the previous criminal offense and the specific job sought, or if the employment of the participant would involve an unreasonable risk to property or to safety or welfare of specific individuals or the general public.
Upon successful completion of the designated internship, participants may then petition the Review Panel for the issuance of a Certificate of Completion. Once issued, participants may then apply for an appropriate full time position that is available with the County and/or participating private sector employers.
ARTICLE VI. IMPACT OF COUNTY ISSUED CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION
Section 6-1 This Section shall not affect the right of a person to collaterally attack his conviction or to rely on it in bar of subsequent proceedings for the same offense.
(a) A Certificate of Completion does not, however, in any way prevent any judicial proceeding, administrative, licensing, or other body, board, or authority from relying upon the conviction specified in the Certificate of Completion as the basis for the exercise of its discretionary power to suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or refuse to renew any license, permit, or other authority or privilege.
(b) A Certificate of Completion shall not limit or prevent the introduction of evidence of a prior conviction for purposes of impeachment of a witness in a judicial or other proceeding where otherwise authorized by the applicable rules of evidence.

AND REQUEST TO APPROVE AS AMENDED continued
ITEM #1 cont’d
(c) A Certificate of Completion may not in any way prevent any judicial proceeding, administrative, licensing, or other body, board, or authority from considering the conviction specified in the certificate.
(d) A Certificate of Completion shall not limit or prevent the introduction of evidence of a prior conviction for purposes of impeachment of a witness in a judicial or other proceeding where otherwise authorized by the applicable rules of evidence.
(e) A Certificate of Completion is not to be deemed to be a pardon. Nothing contained in this Ordinance shall be deemed to alter or limit or affect the manner of applying for pardons to the Governor, and no certificate issued under this Ordinance shall be deemed or construed to be a Pardon.
Section 6-2 Grievance Process
It is not the intention of this Ordinance or the actions of the Review Panel or the Board of Cook County Commissioners to replace or substitute any employee grievance process that currently exists in County government. This Ordinance does not preclude a participant from exercising any due process rights that may be available to them.
(a) If a participant is subject to an adverse action by their employer/supervisor and a grievance procedure exists to address the employee’s issue, the participant must exhaust the process for redress.
(b) This ordinance does not create a separate or alternative grievance process for participants to seek redress from an adverse action taken against them.
ARTICLE VII. REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION
Section 7.1 In revoking a Certificate of Completion, the action of the Cook County Board of Commissioners shall be by majority vote of the members.
(a) Revocation shall be upon notice to the person, who shall be accorded an opportunity to contest the grounds of revocation prior to a decision to revoke the Certificate of Completion.
(b) Any such person possessing a Certificate of Completion shall upon receipt of the determination of revocation, surrender the certificate to the Cook County Board of Commissioners or its designee.
(c) A person who knowingly uses or attempts to use a revoked Certificate of Completion in order to obtain or to exercise any right or privilege that they would not be entitled to obtain or to exercise without a valid Certificate of Completion is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
(d) If the program participant is involuntarily terminated from their employment with Cook County for cause, the Certificate of Completion will automatically be revoked.
ARTICLE VIII. FORMS AND FILING
Section 8-1 (a) All applications, certificates, and orders of revocation necessary for the purposes of this Ordinance shall be upon forms prescribed under an agreement among the Review Panel, the Clerk of the Circuit Court and the Cook County Board of Commissioners or their designees. The forms relating to Certificates of Completion shall be distributed by the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
(b) A copy of each Certificate of Completion issued shall be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Documentation reflecting the revocation of a Certificate of Completion shall also be filed with Clerk of the Circuit Court.
