Public Hearing for the Amendment to the 2001 Action Plan for the Community Development Block (CDBG)
Program - Chairman Pro Tern Carol Tortorello asked Ms. Roberts to review the proposed amendments to the 2001
Action Plan. Ms. Roberts said that the Village intends to spend $280,000 of CDBG funds on water main
replacement and street improvements on the ludith Ann Drive neighborhood. She said that the Village also intends
to do streetlight improvements on Wheeling Road. Ms. Roberts said that the streethght improvements were initially
budgeted for Huntington; however, due to right of way issues on Huntington, the project will be done on Wheeling
Road instead. She said that the estimated cost for street improvements on Wheeling Road is the same as
Huntington; therefore, the streetlight improvements project would not increase the budget for 2001. Ms. Roberts
also added that the Village intends to do parking improvements on Judith Ann Drive. However, Ms. Roberts said
that in order to do the parking improvements, HUD requires that the parking improvements should be done as part
of a substantial improvement that includes rehabilitation to the actual structure of the buildings, i.e., parking
improvements, roofing, etc. Ms. Roberts stated that these expenditures would allow the Village to meet HUD's
timeliness requirements, and provide an opportunity to assist the Judith Ann neighborhood with a project that was
presented to the Plan Commission last year. She said that the purpose of the Public Hearing is to obtain suggestions
and comments from citizens on these amendments.
Chainuan Pro Tern Carol Tortorello opened the Public Hearing at 7:18 p.m., and asked if there were any comments
on the proposed amendments for the 2001 Action Plan. There were no comments. Chairman Pro Tern Carol
Tortorello deferred approval of the amendments because there was not a quorum to vote.
