Fees. <br /> The county board of social services is authorized to enter into contracts with any <br /> governmental or private agency, or with any person, whereby the board of social services agrees <br /> to render services to or for such agency or person in exchange for a fee to cover the cost of <br /> rendering such service. This authority is to be limited to services voluntarily rendered and <br /> voluntarily received, but shall not apply where the charging of a fee for a particular service is <br /> specifically prohibited by statute or regulation. The fees to be charged under the authority of this <br /> section are to be based upon a plan recommended by the county director of social services and <br /> approved by the local board of social services and the board of county commissioners. In no <br /> event is the fee charged to exceed the cost to the board of social services. Fee policies may not <br /> conflict with rules and regulations adopted by the Social Services Commission or Department of <br /> Health and Human Services regarding fees. <br /> The fees collected under the authority of this section are to be deposited to the account of the <br /> social services department so that they may be expended for social services purposes in <br /> accordance with the provisions of Article 3 of Chapter 159, the Local Government Budget and <br /> Fiscal Control Act. No individual employee is to receive any compensation over and above his <br /> regular salary as a result of rendering services for which a fee is charged. <br /> The county board of social services shall annually report to the county commissioners <br /> receipts received under this section. Fees collected under this section shall not be used to replace <br /> any other funds, either State or local, for the program for which the fees were collected.

No member shall disclose or make <br /> public any information which he may acquire by examining such records.
