BACKGROUND
In June 2011, the Village Board was provided with an update concerning the activities of the
Northwest Suburban Housing Collaborative which involves the Village of Arlington Heights, Village of
Mt. Prospect, Village of Palatine, Village of Buffalo Grove, and City of Rolling Meadows. Earlier this
year, the Collaborative was approved for two grants:
1) A technical assistance grant from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) under
which CMAP will perform a "Homes for a Changing Region" study for the 5 suburbs
(individually and collectively); and
2) A one -year grant, to be administered for the Collaborative by the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus
(MMC), in the amount of $35,000 from the Chicago Community Trust (CTT) to hire a
consultant to work with the members of the Collaborative on their joint planning efforts and
projects.
As stated in the June update, the approvals of these grants lead the communities toward the need
for a formal Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) (attached). With the Village Board's approval, and
continued concurrence by the member municipalities in the Collaborative, the Village of Arlington
Heights will serve as the "Lead Municipality" (see Section 2 of the IGA) for the one -year period of the
Agreement. If the work of the Collaboration continues beyond the first year, a subsequent IGA will
be brought to the Village Board and it is expected that another of the involved municipalities will
become the Lead Municipality for the next one -year period. The IGA and the two grants described
above require no out of pocket Village of Arlington Heights expenditures.
The members of the Northwest Suburban Housing Collaborative are in the process of interviewing
respondents to the Request for Proposals that was issued with respect to the consultant to be shared
by the members of the Collaborative. Once the screening process is completed, the Village Board will
be provided information concerning the selected consultant and with the Independent Contractor
Services Agreement for the Village Board's approval.
