PROSPECT PARK DISTRICT AND MOUNT PROSPECT SCHOOL DISTRICT 57 REGARDING THE REDEVELOPMENT AND USE OF IMPROVEMENTS AT LIONS PARK. Meeting October 17, 2023 - REGULAR MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD Fiscal Impact (Y/N) YES Dollar Amount $250,000 Budget Source CDBG and TIF Increment Category NEW BUSINESS Type Action Item Information The Prospect and Main TIF was created in order to incentivize economic improvement to the Village's downtown. Part of the original plan was to help fellow units of local government make improvements to the recreational opportunities in this part of the Village. The TIF law allows such enhancements because they create an environment more conducive to the primary goal of commercial growth. The IGA before the Village Board furthers a project to make improvements to Lions Park, which is owned and operated by the Mt. Prospect Park District. The project will enhance recreational and athletic facilities available to the general public at no charge, while also accommodating the dedicated use of these facilities by community organizations, including but not limited to School District 57. Under the terms of the IGA, the Village will contribute a total of $250,000 to the project: $59,000 will be paid from the Prospect and Main TIF; and $191,000 will be paid from CDBG funds. The total budget for the project is approximately $1.8 - $2.0 million and includes the following improvements: • New playground with areas for 2-5 year olds and 5-12 year olds • New game court including half court basketball, four square, and hopscotch • New adult fitness stations with concrete surfacing • Refurbishing of existing tennis courts and baseball fields • New picnic grove with picnic and game tables • New prairie detention area featuring pollinator plants and art installation • New 8 -foot wide asphalt walking loop with bench seating The Mt. Prospect Park District proposed a timeline of October - November 2023 for public bidding for the project, with construction commencing in March 2024 and substantial completion in September 2024. The Mt. Prospect Park District applied for $250,000 in CDBG funds to support the rehabilitation of Lions Park. The park is eligible for CDBG funding because it is considered a public facility and the improvements will benefit low- and moderate -income residents. The Village receives an annual allocation of CDBG funds from HUD, but CDBG dollars are limited and the funding requests from subrecipients always exceed the CDBG dollars available. The Village was able to allocate up to $191,000 in CDBG funds, and will contribute TIF funds in the amount of $59,000, to bring the total Village contribution to $250,000 for the Lions Park project. The CDBG funds are earmarked to support construction of the accessible walking loop, which has a scope of work and service area most in alignment with CDBG objectives. Other sources of funding for the Lions Park project include Mt. Prospect Park District, Mount Prospect School District 57, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Discussion Alternatives 1.
