The purpose of the hearing was to obtain input from the public, including organizations and individuals, on the housing, community development and social service needs of Mount Prospect residents. A public notice was displayed in the Mount Prospect Journal on July 11, 1997 announcing the meeting (Attachment B). Letters were also mailed to 24 service organizations asking them to participate in the process. A copy of the minutes of the August 6, 1997 meeting has been included in the plan (Attachment C). A second public hearing was held on October I, 1997 to ~eek public input and a recommendation from the Plan Commission on the Annual Plan and the C.D.B.G budget for fiscal year 1998. This hearing was advertized in the Mount Prospect Journal on September 12, 1997 (Attachment D). A copy of the minutes from the hearing have also been included in this plan (Attachment E). The Plan Commission voted 9-0 in favor of recommending approval of the 1998 Annual Consolidated Plan and C.D.B.G. program for the same year, as amended. On November 4, 1997, the Village Board reviewed the 1998 Annual Plan and voted in favor of approving the plan as submitted. There was no effort to expand the citizen participation process used during the 1998 Consolidated Plan process since it promoted full participation from the public. Our agency mailing list was expanded to include a resident organization in the Boxwood neighborhood and Northwest Suburban P.A.D.S. 2 ANNUAL PLAN Strategy Implementation: As noted in HUD's Consolidated Plan instruction manual, the purpose of this section is to present priorities for the investment of Private and public funds in housing and services based on the needs identified in the Community Profile section of the 1995 Consolidated Plan. The public funds will be received under the National Affordable Housing Act. These priorities are · designed to compliment the Comprehensive Plan of the Village of Mount Prospect, assist residents in finding decent and affordable housing in all residential areas of the Village~ address the needs of special populations in the community and carry out the purposes and meet the goals of the Act. The Village's priority analysis and development strategy calls for all resources to be available village-wide and among all eligible residents within the Village. A priority should be made for serving low and very low income elderly and large families as well as special populations of the homeless or near homeless. Mount Prospect has identified priority needs it will address in fiscal year 1998 based on the data and needs documented in the Community Profile section of the 1995 Consolidated Plan. These are: assisted senior citizen rental housing, special housing needs of the elderly, housing for first time home buyers and employees working in Mount Prospect. assisted rental housing and housing for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled and help qualified agencies operate and open specific transitional and emergency housing in Mount Prospect. The priorities, listed below, should have a positive effect in meeting housing affordability needs in Mount Prospect. Some may have a positive effect on the needs of the homeless and near homeless. The strategy for the implementation of each follows: Assisted Senior Citizen Rental Housing with Rental Assistance. Senior Housing Rehabilitation Assistance and Subsidized Rental Assistance: This priority was noted after a review of housing needs shown in the Three Year HAP of 1988, Five Year CHAS of 1991, CHAS public hearing minutes and reports and the 1990 Census. The Census reported a considerable increase in the elderly population over the age of 60 in Mount Prospect. from 11.38% of the population in 1980 to 17.64% in 1990 and that 675 elderly renters in 1990 had incomes below 30% of median income. Priority 1: To provide new construction housing for elderly low ~ncome residents. Very low-income ~0% to 50% of MFI) and low- income t51% to 80% of MFI) - Elderly. One Year Results: Identify site for 75 units of new Section 202 or similar program units with a Section 8 Set a Side or promote other housing suitable for senior citizen use. Institutional Capacity: Village staff asked Catholic Charities to submit an application for a Section 202 subsidized senior housing development in the Village of Mount Prospect for elderly Mount Prospect eligible residents in 1992. The application was approved by HUD and a Section 202 fund reservation made for the project. Catholic Charities was unable to use the fund reservation in Mount Prospect as a result of their losing their option on the selected site. Mount Prospect is still interested in supporting a Section 202 application but has not identified a satisfactory site for the development. Village C.D.B.G. funds may be used to assist in this project. Service agencies and organizations will be utilized in providing needed services to residents. If a Section 202 project is determined to be not feasible, other funding sources may be sought to create the new senior housing. Priority 2: To address the special needs of elderly/disabled low income and very low income residents in various housing settings. Very low- income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI) - Elderly. One Year Results: 5 units of newly created shared housing. 12 units of rehabilitated senior and other homes. 3 units of Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payment. Institutional Capacity: The Resource Center for the Elderly operates a shared housing program and the recently formed Resources for Community Living personnel are operating a shared housing program for the mentally ill and disabled. Village staff will work with these agencies in promoting these housing activities. Mount Prospect's C.D.B.G. program has offered housing rehabilitation loans and subsidies for the past 16 years and will continue to offer these to very low and Iow income resident, including elderly homeowners; The Housing Authority of Cook County will continue to administer the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program in the Village. If additional vouchers certificates become available, the Village expects eligible Mount Prospect senior residents to apply for them. First Time Low Income Homebuyers Assistance: As was noted in the Community Profile section of the 1995 Consolidated Plan, it is becoming increasing difficult for low income residents to buy and live in owner occupied housing in Mount Prospect. The Village of Mount Prospect believes that workers whose jobs are in the Village should be able to find affordable housing in Mount Prospect. Priority 3: To provide housing opportunities for first time low income home buyers. Low-income (51% to 80 % of MFI) All renting households. One Year Results: Assist 5 households in becoming ftrst time homebuyers. Institutional Capacity: Funding would come from the Home InvesUnent Partnership Act (HOME). Funding availability is critical to achieving this priority. C.D.B.G. funds may be used to bring project homes up to Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and Village Code. Local banks have become involved in the general affordability issue and may be asked to participate. The Village has been successful in providing a Mortgage Credit Certificate activity to new first time home buyers. This program is administered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority and offers a federal tax credit incentive. Rental Assistance for Very Low Income and Low Income Residents: High market rate rents in Mount Prospect and the northwest suburbs often renders rental housing for very Iow income and Iow income residents unaffordable. One way to bridge the affordability gap is through the Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payments Program. While the Section 8 program is independently administered by the Housing Authority of Cook County, the Village of Mount Prospect must take an active role in monitoring the impact of the Section 8 Program on the community. This monitoring should take the form of (1) educating property owners and managers about the rights and obligations of landlord and tenants under the program and (2) working with the Housing Authority of Cook County to insure that over concentrations of Iow ~ncome households do not occur in either neighborhoods or geographic areas of the Village. Priority 4: To promote the responsible use of financial rental assistance programs throughout the Village for Mount Prospect residents. Very low-income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI) - All renting households. One Year Results: Work closely with the Housing Authority of Cook County in the management of tenant based voucher and certificate programs for low income and very low income Mount Prospect renters. Institutional Capacity: Mount Prospect has contact with and knowledge of all rental properties in its corporate boundaries through the licensing requirements of the Landlord / Tenant Ordinance. Staff will contact rental property owner's or managers and inform them of the rules and regulations governing participation in the Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payments Program. C.D.B.G. funds may be used in connection with private funds to help rehabilitate selected rental units. 5 Housing for the Mentally Ill/Disabled/Homeless or near Homeless: Mount Prospect currently has eight group homes. Two more are in the process of being established this year. Additional support may be needed to rehabilitate these and future group homes. Special services will need to be provided. The need for this housing and associated services was discussed in the Community Profile section of last year's Five Year Consolidated Plan. Area agencies serving the homeless and near homeless are reporting an increased number of persons needing transitional housing and services. priori_fy 5: To provide financial assistance in the purchase or rehabilitation of housing for the mentally ill and/or developmentally disabled. Very low-income (0% to 50% of MFI and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI). One Year Results: Assist organizations serwng the above clients upon request with the purchase and/or rehabilitation of a residential home for use as a community residence for the mentally ill or developmentally disabled. Institutional Capacity: Mount Prospect intends to assist the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill or other qualified organization with the purchase and/or rehabilitation of a home in Mount Prospect to be used as a supervised community residence for the mentally ill or developmentally disabled. Funding for the project may be from Mount Prospect's C .D.B.G. funds, the State of Illinois, corporate donations, HUD's Section 811 program or other appropriate sources. Priority 6: To assist qualified agencies in providing transitional and/or emergency housing to residents with an emphasis on providing self-sufficiency skills in a case management or other appropriate management style. Very low-income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI) - All homeless residents. One Year Results: Assist qualified agencies in applying for financing and obtaining other assistance in operating and/or opening transitional and/or emergency housing units in Mount Prospect. Such assistance could include a grant from the C.D.B.G. program. Institutional Capacity: CEDA-Northwest, WINGS and other agencies have experience in successfully operating transitional housing activities. FEMA-Emergency Shelter Grants and other funds may be utilized by such agencies and should be supported by the Village. P.A.D.S. emergency shelters are serving mom homeless and should be supported. 6 OTHER ACTIONS Public Policies: The high cost of Mount Prospect's housing is primarily due to it's location in the Greater Chicago Area, close proximity to major highway systems and O'Hare International Airport. and the availability of the Chicago commuter rail system that links Mount Prospect m the Chicago Loop. Staff has reviewed Village development requirements and believes, on a whole, they do not pose major impediments to achieving affordable housing. Even so, Mount Prospect is actively involved in finding ways m address the housing affordability issue. For example, the Village's Zoning Ordinance was amended to permit households of up to 8 persons with developmental disabilities, and paid staff, to occupy a single dwelling unit. The Zoning Ordinance, as amended in 1993, created a new Downtown zoning district which permits mixed uses. This change may create new affordable housing units in an area that has a low concentration of low income households. There are no pending tax or fee increases anticipated by the Village. Public Housing Resident's Pro_iect Involvement: The two senior citizen housing projects in Mount Prospect, Centennial Apartments and Huntington Towers Apartments, represent the only federally assisted housing here. Both are privately owned, well managed and the Village sees no benefit to the residents in their becoming involved in their own management or in a home ownership program. There are no public housing projects in Mount Prospect. Institutional Structure: Mount Prospect will apply for and administer activities funded under a federal CDBG Entitlement Program. It will also seek funding for the first time home buyers program. Funds may be sought from local lending institutions, unobligated industrial bonding or the State of Illinois' HOME Program. Please refer to the institutional structure narrative included in each priority noted above. They explain how each activity will be carried out as well as problems that may be encountered. Public Housing Improvements / Public Housing Resident Initiatives: Mount Prospect has no public housing units and thus will not have any public housing ~mprovemem programs or public housing resident initiatives Lead Based Paint Hazard Reductions: During the coming year. staff will continue to require all loose paint, under the Village's housing rehabilitation loan programs, be removed and either covered or repainted. We will also provide public information on the problem with lead based paint and the measures to be taken to reduce risk and protect health. Anti-Poverty Strategy: The Village's anti-poverty strategy is based on an objective of decentralizing low-income households, insuring needed services are provided and the continuation of a strong local economy. The decentralization of low income households will be implemented by encouraging low and very-low income residents households to live and work throughout Mount Prospect., It will encourage all six priority programs noted above be distributed evenly in all neighborhoods. Each priority activity should have supportive services so participating households can climb out of poverty. These services have previously been 7 described in this documem. Finally, Mount Prosect is taking formal steps to improve the economic health of the community. It has an Economic Development Commission for promoting local economic growth and has recently developed a downtown redevelopment ad hoc committee to investigate and recommend improvements in the downtown commercial and government areas. It is our belief that these identified housing, economic development and service programs will measurably reduce the number of households living below the poverty line by as many as 20 households. This reduction will help free up affordable housing units as the previously lower and moderate income households move into market rate housing. Coordination Efforts: During the process of preparing this report, Village staff contacted by mail or phone twenty four organization that are interest in affordable housing issues and asked them to participate in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan. Village staff also discussed with area local governments a number of affordable housing issues and will continue to dialog and cooperate with them on such issues. Summary_ of Citizen Comments: Village staff has not received any citizen comments other than those received during the public hearing process and included in this plan. Accompanying this section are the minutes from the public hearings and a summary of citizen letters received during that process. Village staff will seek to encourage further citizen participation using the processes used in developing this plan. Lead Agency: The Village of Mount Prospect and it's Community Developmem Department Planning Division is the lead agency responsible for the development of this Annual Plan. Participating Groups and Individuals: The following groups and individuals participated in the Annual Plan process: Suburban Primary Health Care Inc.. Resources for Community Living, Resource Center for the Elderly, Girl Scouts-Illinois Crossroads Council Inc., Village of Mount Prospect Human Services Department. CEDA-Northwest, Northwest Community Services Inc., Camp Fire Boys and Girls-Metropolitan Chicago Council, Mount Prospect Public Library, Mount Prospect Historical Society, Northwest Suburban P.A.D.S. and the Mount Prospect Plan Commission and Village Board.

Consultation with Social Service Agencies: Agencies were invited to attend a meeting with the Plan Commission and discuss the housing and service needs of residents. Citizen Participation Process: See the first page of the plan. Identification of Leveraged AdditiOnal Resources: Federal resoumes to be used to leverage other funds may include C.D.B.G. funds, Section 202 funds, HOME funds, Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments and FEMA-Emergency Shelter Grants. Other funds could include private home buyers down payments, private home improvement and matching funds, participation from lenders and the Village of Mount Prospect for the HOME Program. Geographic Distribution of Activities: The Street Improvement Program, funded under the C.D.B.G. program, is target'rog the CT 8050.02, Block Group 4 neighborhood because of the need for street improvements and because 49.17 % of the residents there are of low or moderate income. Handicap accessible sidewalk ramps will be installed Village-Wide to meet Americans with Disability Act requirements. Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities: The P.A.D.S. organization will continue to provide shelter and meals to the homeless in Mount Prospect. Mount Prospect will continue it's support of transitional shelters by providing C.D.B.G. funds for the CEDA-Northwest homeless program. The Mount Prospect Human Services DeparUnent will continue to provide aid and assistance to the near homeless to help them remain independent. The needs of special populations within Mount Prospect will be served by agencies designed to address their needs. Additional Actions: Mount Prospect is continually seeking information from its residents on their needs and wants. Its Visions Committee reviews the needs and problems in lower income areas monthly and creates programs and activities to meet those needs. A couple of year ago the Village hired additional code enforcement staff and a full time social worker who is fluent in spanish to nnprove housing conditions and provide additional services in the lower income areas of the Village. Their efforts are helping to insure that Mount Prospect maintains a strong rental housing market. Rents remain competitive and affordable. The Community Development Department continues to actively seek new businesses for Mount Prospect. These efforts should help reduce the number of poverty level families while keeping the cost of housing affordable. The Annual Plan citizen participation planning process enhances the coordination between public and private housing providers by providing an avenue for communication and cooperation. Program Income: This past year, fiscal year 1996, Mount Prospect received $108,461. in C.D.B.G. program income. The Village's policy on program income, which is received from the repayment of housing rehabilitation loans, is to use it to fund new housing rehabilitation activities. This policy was altered once in 1996 by the Village Board when $150,000. was used for a low income area neighborhood street resurfacing program. Project ID and Local Code Numbers: The project ID numbers are in random order. The project numbers assigned by Mount Prospect follows an order used in previous Grantee Performance Reports. The order begins with public services activities and continues with housing rehabilitation, architectural barrier, public facilities improvements and concludes with program administration. Funding of Homeless Activities: The 1990 Census counted very few homeless individuals in Mount Prospect. It did not count the near homeless. The transitional housing activities being funded with C.D.B.G. program address this need. The P.A.D.S. program provides emergency shelter for the homeless. Homeless Tables in the Five Year Consolidated Plan - Youth: The Table on homeless population shows there were 5 persons in homeless families, 40% of these were :hildren. There were no homeless children not in families. lo MONITORING PLAN Mount Prospect will perform semi-annual reviews of all Mount Prospect C.D.B.G. sub- recipients. These will include collecting data on the number of residents receiving services and a visit to their particular programs. A written report will be filed noting the results of the review. Staff will also request annual reports from the Housing Authority of Coolc County on their progress in providing Section 8 and other assistance in Mount Prospect. Staff may assist the PHA in encouraging Mount Prospect residents in applying for the Section 8 program. A report from the Village will also be prepared on the progress of it's Section 202, HOME or other National Affordable Housing Act activities. 10/15/97 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 07:58:25 CPD Consolidated Plan System Listing of Priority Needs Priority Need Level Est.

Chairman June Richards Frank Boege Carol Tortorello Edwin Janus Louis Velasco Absent: William Reddy Angela Volpe Village Staff Present: Judy Connolly, Long Range Planner Michael Sims, Planner Barbara Swiatek. Planning Secretary APPROVAL OF MINUTES: A motion was made by Carol Tortorello, seconded by June Richards, to approve the minutes of the July 2, 1997 meeting. Those minutes were approved by a vote of 5-0. 1 abstention by Frank Boege. SUBDIVISIONS: Plat of Subdivision - Honan's Resubdivision: Michael Sims, Planner, explained that the proposed subdivision was a two lot vacant site. The petitioner, Michael Honan, went to Zoning Board of Appeals July 24, 1997 and received approval for a variance to the lot size he requested. He was now seeking approval ora plat of subdivision for Honan's Subdivision at 1215 Wildwood Lane. The plat of subdivision will subdivide a .47 acre vacant lot into two 63.75' wide, 10,296 sq.ft, single family lots. Michael Honan, petitioner, came forward and repeated the request for approval, explaining that they planned to build their own home on one tot and build another home on the other lot. Mr. Hoffman asked if there were any questions from the Board. Mr. Velasco asked why the petitioner had gone before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variation to lot width, in previous years that had been under the purview of the Plan Commission. Mr. Sims said the ZBA grants variations for lot width and the Plan Commission approves the plat of subdivision. Michael Hoffman also stated that lot width is determined by Zoning Ordinance, consequently variance requests are heard by the ZBA. The Plan Commission is consulted for variance to the Developmem Code. Mike Sims said the 39 PLAN COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES A~gust 6, 1997 Meeting Page 2 Development Code addresses the depth of the lot but these lots had sufficient depth and did not need a variance for that. Motion to accept the plat of subdivision as presented by the petitioner was made by Louis Velasco at 7:40 p.m. and seconded by Frank Boege. Upon Roll Call: AYES: Hoffman, Boege, Tortorello, Richards~ Velasco, Janus NAYS: None Motion passed 6-0. Mike Hoffman asked Mike Sims to look into the Development Code lot dimension requirements and report further at the next meeting. Preliminary Plat of Subdivision - Pine Hill Subdivision/2225 W. Lincoln St.: The Pine Hill Subdivision is athree lot single family preliminary plat of subdivision. The property in question is located on the south side of West Lincoln Street, approximately 115' west of Helena Avenue. Lots 1 and 3 of the proposed subdivision will be 75' wide by 145' deep. Lot 2 will be T- shaped, with 65.52' of £rontage on Lincoln Street. The developer plans to utilize the narrow leg at Lincoln Street as an access drive to his home, to be located on the south section of the lot. Lot 2 on the final plat will have two parcels. The west parcel is a separate undevelopable 38' by 150.49' parcel with a "must sell" covenant. This parcel would enable the adjacent lot to be re-subdivided in compliance with the Zoning Code R-1 District bulk requirements and the Development Code right- of-way requirements. If the adjacent lot is not resubdivided, the parcel would remain as part of lot 2 in perpetuity. Attorney Bart Loethen, 311 South Wacker, Chicago IL 60606, came forward to speak for the petitioner, who was also present with his builder. He explained that the petitioner will build his home on the larger lot in the back of the property. He further described the lot and the "must sell" covenant. Frank Boege asked Mr. Loethen when they plan to build. Mr. Loethen said they will start to build on the three lots this year. There is a structure on the property that will be removed. Michael Hoffman pointed out that a preliminary plat should show existing conditions: topography, existing buildings, trees, etc. Was that submitted as a separate exhibit? Mike Sims said we had not received a landscaping plan which would show that. Mr. Hoffman said he would like to see that with the next request. Ms. Tortorello asked the Engineering Division's opinion. Mr. Sims responded that they will be following the Engineering Division's requirements. Motion to accept preliminary plat of subdivision as presented, with the "must sell" condition, ~vas made by Frank Boege at 7:55 p.m. and seconded by Ed Janus. Mike Hoffman read the condition: 4O PLAN COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES August 6. 1997 Meeting Page 3 "Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the petitioner shall prepare and submit a final plat of subdivision to the Village for review and approval. The plat shall include the "must selF' covenam and illustrate a 48' setback along the south 150.49' of the wes! property line of lot 2." Upon Roll Call: AYES: Hoffinan, Boege, Tortorello, Richards, Velasco, Janus NAYS: None Motion passed 6-0. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Comprehensive Plan Committee - Michael Hoffman announced representatives from several park districts were here tonight to discuss Comprehensive Plan issues. He is working to get representa- tives from the other taxing bodies to coordinate their comprehensive planning with Plan Commission and to attend upcoming meetings. A representative from School District 214 is scheduled to attend the September 3 meeting. Mr. Hoffman attended a BDDRC meeting several weeks ago and one suggestion from BDDRC was to create a task force to develop a short range action plan for the downtown plan and TIF District. Two representatives from BDDRC, EDC, Plan Commission and Board of Trustees will meet to form a plan, before the end of the year, for the downtown area. That task force will need to be approved by the Board first. OLD BUSINESS: Comprehensive Planning Discussion - Michael Hoffman announced there would be discussion on the Comprehensive Plan related to Mount Prospect and River Trails Park Districts. We have representatives from both groups tonight. Walt Cook, Mount Prospect Park District, was introduced and spoke about their discussions with United, which are on hold until annexation plans are resolved. They would like to get more organized activities in that area. They presently maintain several ball fields for United. The park district did draft a comprehensive plan. When that is complete they will share il with the Conunission. Mr. Cook would also like to address the Commission at some time regarding the C-R zoning designation. It is a rather restricting zoning for the park district. They are allowed to sell less than 3 acres of land without referendum; however, in order to sell any land, they must request rezoning from C-R back to R-1. Mr. Cook described future plans for parks, play areas, swimming pools and the golf course and the planned bandshell for Lyons Park. PLAN COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES August 6, 1997 Meeting Page 4 Mr. Hoffman then introduced Debbie Carlson from River Trails Park District. She spoke of their activities of the past five years at Burning Bush Trails, Evergreen Trails and Sycamore Trails Parks. They have moved their administration t° the Prospect Heights City Hall. Ms. Carlson pointed out the River Trails Park District boundaries, about three square miles serving 15,500 people2 They have not yet formulated a comprehensive plan. They would like to provide more recreational parks to the BoxWood area. Frank Boege remarked that the Boxwood area has been much improved under their jurisdiction. River Trails Park District also finds the C-R zoning to be restrictive. NEW BUSINESS: C.D.B.G. - Mr. Hoffrnan opened the Community Development Block Grant Public Heating at 8:32 p.m. Mr. Sims assured Mr. Hoffman that Notice of Public Heating had been published. Mr. Sims explained that this hearing was being conducted in order to recdive comments and proposals for the Village's Consolidated Plan, which includes the Village's C.D.B.G. applicatiOns and proposals for 1998. AI0ng with publishing notice in the newspaper, we Solicited comments and applications frOm staff and mailings to various agencies who have participated in the past. Michael Hoffman asked if the amount of estimated funds for 1998 was $373,000, the approximate amount received last year. Mike Sims said yes, we hope to have a firm~figure bY budget time. Mr. Boege reminded staff of his objections to using loan repayment funds on paVing streetS in low income areas. Much discussion followed on that subject, ending with Mr. Sims assuring the commission that no subsidized home loans had been turned down as a result of that program. Mr. Hoffman announced he wanted to give each agency representative some time to explain how they utilized C.D.B.G. funds in the past, what they would like to accomplish with future anticipated funds and to describe the activities conducted by their groups.

COMMITTEE REPORTS: Comt>rehensive Plan Committee - Michael Hoffman announced that there have been two meetings of the Downtown Planning Task Force. The first meeting consisted of brainstorming and the second meeting was a tour of the downtown area.

NEW BUSINESS: Mike Hoffman opened the Public Hearing for the Community Development Block Grant for the Annual Consolidated Plan and the Community Development Block Grant budget for fiscal year 1998. Notice of this hearing was published in the JOURNAL & TOPICS newspaper on September 12. 1998. Mr. Hoffman explained, "We will proceed with Michael Sims. Planner. g~wng a pre§entation of what we are doing, what 45 PLAN COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES ~ October 1, 1997 Meeting Page 2 the plan is, a presentation of the proposed budget and what issues we will be discussing tonight. We will have questions, comments and discussion by the Commission. Then we will open the hearing to the public for comments and questions. We will close the Public Hearing and the Commission will decide how we want to take action on the budget and Consolidated Plan." Frank Boege had comments on the Consolidated Plan and the use of C.D.B.G. funds. Chairman Hoffman asked to proceed with Mike Sims' summary and then return to comments~ Mr. Sims opened by explaining the Consolidated Planning process. He mentioned the process included a Public Hearing in August, 1997, the mailing of requests for proposals and comments on housing and community development needs. He stated the purpose of the C.D.B.G. Program is primarily to assist lower and moderate income individuals, households and neighborhoods by providing needed public services, housing assistance and neighborhood improvements. He added that C.D.B.G. funds may also be used to correct slum and blight conditions and correct conditions with an urgent need which have oc(~urred as a result ora disaster. William Cooney, Director of Community Development, is here to present the proposed budget and discuss C.D.B.G. activities to be undertaken in 1998. Mr. Cooney addressed the Commission, stating it is estimated that the amount of funds to be received this year is $383,000, which was the amount received last year. The actual amount will not be known until January, 1998. He explained that guidelines dictate that no more than 15% of those funds be used for public service type programs, which are the majority of the requests we receive from outside agencies. 20% may be used for administrative services and 70% overall must benefit low to moderate income households. Our proposed budget meets the objectives of the C.D.B.G. Program. Generally, this is a very similar budget to last year's, which was approved by the Plan Commission and the Village Board. Mr. Velasco asked if there were surplus funds which were not included in the proposed budget. Mr. Cooney estimated there was approximately an $80,000 reserve fund. The same guidelines would need to be applied to the use of any reserve funds. In reply to questions from members, Mr. Cooney stated the Plan Commission can make recommendations to the Village Board as to disbursement of housing rehabilitation funds which are paid back to the reserve fund, but the same C.D.B.G. guidelines must be observed with those funds. Bill Reddy voiced concern over using reserve funds and not having sufficient reserves if a large number of the more than one hundred second housekeeping unit building owners request funds to reconvert to single-family, as required by the year 2000. Bill Cooney said the owners of those second housekeeping unit buildings might not qualify for C.D.B.G. funds. After much discussion, it was decided to put the question into the form ora motion, for the Village Board to see, that all loan pay back funds be held in reserve for housing rehabilitation activities: There was considerable discussion among members who voiced their concern that many of the public service agencies were not receiving the entire amount that they had originally requested in the proposed budget. Some agencies, in fact, would not receive any funding. Objections were raised with certain agencies who, in the opinion of some Commission members, did not control administration funds to ensure that a high percentage of their budget benefitted the needy people for whom they were donated. Conversely, agencies perceived as very deserving were receiving no funds or not enough. Jackie Hinaber, Mount Prospect Public Library, asked how it had been decided to deny their request for funds. Mr. Cooney replied that, in some cases, it was necessary to allot needed funds to agencies who were unable to receive monies through tm(es rather than agencies who did have that option. 46 PLAN COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES October 1. 1997 Meeting Page 3 Chairman Hoffman read each line item in the proposed budget, inviting the Commission members to suggest their revisions. After going through each item. it was decided to suggest to the Village Board that the amount granted to Access to Care be reduced by $4,000 and $2.000 awarded to Clayground and $2,000 to New Horizon% It was agreed that the other line item amounts were acceptable to the Plan Commission. It was also agreed that reserve funds should be used for single-family rehabilitation. Chairman Hoffman asked if them were any more comments on the Consolidated Plan. He had seen some errom. Mike Sims said Mike Hoffman should give him a copy with the corrections noted and he would make those corrections. Mike Hoffman asked staff how many people had received mortgage credit certificates. Bill Cooney said 27 people had received those certificates since 1993. Mr. Hoffman closed the Public Hearing at 9:34 p.m. He read the figures from the proposed budget as revised by the Plan Commission, for submission to the Village Board. (Attachment A) Frank Boege said he wanted to compliment staff on the wonderful job they had done in preparing the Consolidated Plan and C.D.B.G. budget. Frank Boege also made a motion to approve the Annual Consolidated Plan and Budget for 1998 for Community Development Block Grant Funds with the revised budget figures as discussed. Carol Tortorello seconded the motion. Upon Roll Call: AYES: Boege, Janus, Reddy, Richards, Tortorello, Velasco, Volpe, Zadel and Hoffman, NAYS: None Motion carried 9-0. Motion was made by Michael Zadet to recommend to the Village Board to stick to the policy in the Consolidated Plan to recycle funds that are paid back from the Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Program and use those for additional loans in the same program. Motion was seconded by William Reddy. Upon Roll Call: AYES: Boege, Janus, Reddy, Richards, Tortorello, Velasco, Volpe, Zadel and Hoffman, NAYS: None Motion carried 9-0. Chairman Hoffman ir/troduced the next item on the agenda, the Small Rental Rehabilitation Program application, and asked Mike Sims to review the Program for the group. Mike Sims explained that the Village of Mount Prospect is interested in applying for a federal grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's HOME Program to fund a small rental rehabilitation program. The grant will provide a five year, 0% interest, deferred, forgivable loan for the rehabilitation of rental properties that have no more than ten units. The application will require that one of the units be occupied by the property owner. The property owner's unit will not be eligible for assistance but must also be rehabilitated. If approved, the HOME funds will pay for 75% ora total project's cost. The remaining cost will be paid by each property owner. There will be no expenditure of local government funds for the program. The maximum cost for rehabilitating a unit is $14,999. Only rental units occupied by lower income households will be eligible. The Home Program requires that rents remain affordable for the term of the loan (five years). 47 LAN COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES October 1, 1997 Meetir/g Page 4 Environmental Health Coordinator Bob Roels has seen an increase in the number of rental properties that are occupied by the property owner. It is estimated thirty-six units would qualify for the program. We anticipate receiving $231,000 through the HOME Program. With the $ 77,200 property owners share, this would equal a total Program amount of $308.200. We believe this program will help them bring their property up to the Village's building codes and provide the renter with a safe, affordable and healthy home. Staff requests that the Plan Commission endorse the Village's Small Rental Rehabilitation Program application. William Reddy made motion that the Plan Commission recommend that the Village pursue a grant with the HOME Program for the Small Rental Rehabilitation Program. Motion was seconded by Michael Zadel. Upon Roll Call: AYES: Boege, Janus, Reddy, Richards, Tortorello, Velasco, Volpe, Zadel and Hoffman, NAYS: None Motion carried 9-0.
