MEMORANDUM
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER II 3
FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2010 `
SUBJECT: CRC FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS - 2011 ACTION PL : ■ �: "._
BACKGROUND
The Village of Mount Prospect is an entitlement community that receives an annual allocation from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for our Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program. The Village's responsibility is to ensure that Mount Prospect residents, specifically those
considered as low /moderate - income, are benefiting from the CDBG grant. Preliminary budget information
from the Federal Government indicates that our 2011 funding allocation will be roughly the same as our
2009 allocation of $363,969. Although our 2010 allocation was $391,839, HUD has indicated the same
increase in funding cannot be guaranteed.
The federal allocation is the primary portion of the Village's CDBG budget. Other revenue sources that
contribute to program funding include program income and non - allocated carryover funds. HUD however
allows only 15% of the annual allocation plus 15% of the previous year's program income to be granted to
public service programs. Program income is generated from repayment of outstanding 0% interest
rehabilitation loans, and with the housing market still in a downturn, our program income in the past few
years has been substantially less. Public Service allotment in 2011 will be $62,000 or approximately 15% of
the projected CDBG allocation plus 15% of the program income received thus far in 2010.
2011 ACTION PLAN BUDGET
The Community Relations Commission based their recommendations on staff memos, funding applications,
and presentations from public service agencies. On August 5, 2010, the CRC held a public meeting
regarding the 2011 CDBG budget, which allowed each of the public service applicants to present their 2011
funding applications and the CRC then made their final budget recommendation to the Board of Trustees.
The following is a summary of the substantial changes between the 2010 budget and the 2011 budget.
Public - Service Programs
• During the preparation of the 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan, the community developed priorities and
objectives for future CDBG programs based on public comments obtained through an extensive
survey and interview process. In 2011, funding was increased for those Public Service Agencies that
address more than one objective which was seen as a need in our community.
• With the relatively small amount of CDBG funding available to Mount Prospect, programs with the
greatest fmancial need, that serve a majority of Mount Prospect residents and whose programs
benefit a new group of residents each year were considered as top priority.
• Where Public Agencies provide similar services, the CRC focused resources on the agency best
meeting the Community's needs. For our funding to be most effective, funds were channeled to
agencies with productive outcomes instead of spreading the funds among a greater number of
agencies.
Low/Moderate- Income Projects
• Funding is recommended to supplement the Briarwood Sanitary Sewer Replacement project, near the
intersection of Briarwood Drive West and Briarwood Drive East. This project involves the
replacement of the existing sanitary sewer main that is failing and causing backups into basements.
CONCLUSION
The Village Board is asked to consider the funding recommendations as they relate to the 2011 Action Plan.
To assist in your review of these issues, the following items have been attached:
• 2011 CRC Recommended Budget
• Summary of Applicant's Request
• August 5, 2010 CRC Meeting Minutes
A required 30 -day public review period has taken place from September 7, 2010 through October 6, 2010. In
order to meet HUD's timeline requirements, the Village Board must approve the 2011 Action Plan, which
will then be submitted to HUD by their deadline of November 15, 2010.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at
their November 2nd meeting. Staff will be present at the meeting to answer any questions regarding this
matter.

SUMMARY OF FUNDING REQUESTS
The Village of Mount Prospect's CDBG budget is derived from three sources: annual
entitlement grant, unallocated carry over funds, and program income. The following describes
the public service activities and low /moderate - income projects to receive Community
Development Block Grant funds during 2011. Staff is assuming the same grant amount as 2009,
which is approximately $363,969. Although our 2010 Grant amount was $391,839, the same
increase in funding cannot be guaranteed. HUD allows only 15% of the annual allocation (plus
15% of the previous year's program income) to be granted to public service programs. The
projected available 2011 funds for service programs will be approximately $62,000.

students who are determined to be "at-risk", with the ability
to experience new activities in a non - threatening learning
environment. All meetings are supervised and provide a mix
of none -on -one and group intervention. Activities offered
during the course of the school year cover a wide spectrum -
learning games, community projects, field trips, team
building activities and guest speakers are a part of the
learning experience. This activity serves a large percentage
of Mount Prospect residents. Staff recommends funding.

2011 Goal: An engineering firm was hired to review their problem and
implement a repair. Due to the age of the building, the
design of the roof pitch and improper insulation in place, the
engineering firm specified the need for an insulated roofing
system with supplemental heat and added wall insulation.
The estimated cost of the entire repair job is approximately
$60,000. CEDA is seeking $25,000 in support of the repair
that will allow them to provide uninterrupted service to the
residents of Mount Prospect during the cold winter months.

Considering Factors: In the year 2000, the CEDA NW headquarters building at
1300 W. Northwest Hwy in Mt. Prospect was upgraded with
several office spaces, washrooms, a resource center and
conference rooms. The new upgraded structure was not
grandfathered under the fire code so CEDA was required to
provide a sprinkler system for the entire building. The new
sprinkler system was installed in an unheated attic space. Six
unit heaters were installed to mitigate any freezing of the
pipes that might occur. These unit heaters have proven to be
ineffective. Since 2000, the sprinkler system has frozen and
the pipes fractured four times spraying water all over the
office. This has caused substantial damages and the closing
of the offices. Staff recommends funding.

INTRODUCTIONS
Chairperson Tolbert introduced the Commission and thanked the different agencies for attending the
meeting. He stated that distributing Community Development Block Grant funds is one of the most
important duties the Commission performs and described the CDBG funding process, noting that
CRC recommendations go to the Village Board, who then gives the final approval. Chairman Tolbert
introduced Janet Saewert, who was representing Village Staff.
NEW BUSINESS
2011 CDBG Public Service Budget
Ms. Saewert thanked the Public Service Representatives for addressing the needs in our Community.
Based on HUD guidelines, 15% of our projected entitlement grant plus 15% of the previous year's
program income can be used to fund Public Service Programs. Program Income is generated from
repayment of our CDBG Single Family Rehab Loans and with the housing market still in a slump, our
program income is also down. In 2011, our estimated Public Service Budget will be $62,000 or 5% less
than in 2010. Our Community Relations Commission has the tough job of making recommendations
of how to spend those funds. Although all the programs represented are extremely valuable and
address a need within our Community, we just do not have the funds to support them all. Ms.
Saewert thanked the Public Service Representatives for coming and invited each of them to talk about
their program and answer any questions the CRC may have.

The following funding applicants spoke on behalf of their organization, and there was a brief

After a brief intermission, the Commission had a general discussion about the funds available in 2011,
and the Priorities and Objectives indentified in the Village's 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan. Some
agencies applying for funds address more than one objective and funding was recommended for
those organizations. Funding was also recommended for those Programs which serve a large number
of Mount Prospect residents and assist a new group of people each year. Overlaps in funding may
occur when public agencies provide similar services. The CRC is recommending funding for those
organizations they feel best meet the community's needs. The CRC also realizes that spreading the
funds among a number of agencies may not be as effective as channeling the funds to fewer agencies,
with productive outcomes.
The preliminary staff recommendations were amended as follows. A motion was made by
Commissioner Muench to approve the changes and seconded by Commissioner Ortiz. All voted aye
for approval. The motion carried.
Chairperson Tolbert stated that the following recommendations be available to the public for the 30-
day review period and to be forwarded to the Village Board for consideration at the October 19, 2010
meeting.

Relations Commission meeting. Commissioner Ortiz seconded the motion. All voted aye for
approval.
OLD BUSINESS
The Commission discussed their efforts to make more residents aware of the CRC and their purpose.
A new Community Relations Commission brochure was developed and handed out at the Village's
Block Party to help get the word out. There was also recent discussion with the Police Department
regarding possible projects that the CRC could help with that would benefit residents, such as
collecting school supplies for children of low- and moderate - income households. Chairperson Tolbert
requested that Ms. Saewert contact Mike Semkiu to ask if anything more had come of that idea.
ADJOURNMENT
The next meeting is scheduled for the first Thursday in October. A motion was made by
Commissioner Schmalzer to adjourn the meeting and seconded by Commissioner Ortiz. All voted
Aye for approval and the meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m.
