OLD BUSINESS
Status Update
Development Update
Mr. Cooney stated that Costco had begun the interior demolition of the former Montgomery Ward's building.
It is Costco's desire to be open for business by August of 2003. Mr. Cooney also indicated he had met with
representatives from Randhurst to discuss the other opportunities at the center. The Commission briefly
discussed the various details relating to existing and potential future tenants at the center. Mr. Cooney then
stated that Caribou Coffee had signed on as the second major tenant in the Lofts development and that there
were several other tenants that he hoped would be on board by the end of the year. He stated Fiesta Market
would be opening next week in the former Frank's Nursery location. Fiesta Market is an international produce
mart. Mr. Cooney then indicated that SB Tools would be moving into the former 3Corn building by April of
next year. Their initial move would include approximately 500 employees and that the final employee count at
this location could exceed 1,000. In addition, Mr. Cooney informed the Board that A. W. Zengeler was under
contract for the final vacant parcel in the Kensington Business Park. They will be consolidating 3 operations
from the city of Chicago into their new facilityin the Kensington Center. A. W. Zengeler's primary operation
is the cleaning of industrial uniforms.
NEW BUSINESS
Update of Marketing Tools
Mr. Cooney stated that staff was working on updating the Village's current marketing tools. He stated that the
brochure and video that had been designed several years back was now out-of-date. The goal of the current
modification is to design materials that can be easily updated and tailored towards specific users. Mr. Cooney
demonstrated some of the proposed designs for a new marketing brochure that received general support from
the Commission. He also explained that the Village would be purchasing blank miniature CD ROMs that
would be sent to prospective tenants. He said that the Village could bum Power Point presentations onto these
CD ROMs that are tailored specifically towards a prospective tenant. He also indicated that the economic
development component of the Village's website had been updated to include existing office vacancies and a
listing of shopping centers in Mount Prospect. He stated he would e-mail the website page to the Economic
Development Commissioners so that they could review it and provide comments on the quality of the page.

Mr. Lindgren asked if staff had considered burning the existing video onto the CD ROMs. Mr. Cooney
indicated that staff had not considered that and that portions of the video were out-of-date. He said he would
inquire whether it was possible to splice the video and maintain a viable portion of footage to burn onto the
CDs.
Downtown Redevelopment - the next steps
Mr. Cooney stated that staff had performed a Request for Proposals for a Phase II study on the small triangle
area. Four firms responded and the Iow bid is approximately $4,500 to conduct the work. The Commission
supported moving forward with the borings to determine if there were any environmental issues in this area.
Mr. Trapani then stated he had prepared some draft site plans for the potential redevelopment of the small
triangle area. The Commission reviewed the plans and indicated general support for moving forward with a
recommendation to the Village Board to pursue the redevelopment of the small triangle area. It was suggested
that the Commission wait until the results of the Phase II borings to determine the viability of the
redevelopment of this area. There was concern that, given there were formerly two gasoline service stations on
the lot that there could be substantial environmental issues. There was much discussion of what the next
appropriate steps should be in order to move forward with such a project. Mayor Farley indicated that it would
be appropriate for the Commission to provide a recommendation to the Board for their consideration. It was
decided that once the results of the borings were available, such recommendation would be made.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Chairman Kurtz had no additional comments.
ADJOURNMENT
th
The Commissioners agreed the next meeting would be held on NOvember 7 if the results of the Phase II
environmental study were completed. If these results were not available, the next meeting would be on
December 5th. Mr. Cooney stated he would be in touch with Board members at the end of October to inform
them when the next meeting would take place. The meeting was adjoumed at 9:00 a.m.

There were no Old Business items to discuss.
NEW BUSINESS
(~ommunit¥ Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Overview:
Mr. Cooney gave an overview of the Community Development Block Grant Program, some history of the
Village's involvement in the Program and a summary of the types of projects that are funded through the
CDBG Program. He also reviewed some of the documents that had been provided to the CRC in advance of
the meeting. He outlined what was going to occur at the Public Hearing that was going to be held at 7:30.
Mr. Cooney indicated that representatives of each of the sub-recipients would be there and be prepared to
make a brief presentation regarding the Program and answer any questions that the Commissioners might
have. He then explained that it was staff's hope that the Community Relations Commission would be able to
make a final recommendation that night, following the applicant's presentations at the 7:30 Hearing.
Chairman Brennan indicated that his preference would be to host another meeting where they could discuss in
greater depth the different Programs and see if any of the Commissioners had suggested changes to the
funding. Trustee Zadel outlined his past experience with the CDBG program and the budget review process.
He indicated that the Village is under some time constraints, given HUD's deadlines and additional steps in
the approval process; however, he informed the Commissioners to do whatever they felt was necessary to
accurately review the request and make a recommendation. Following some further discussion,
Commissioners agreed that another meeting should be held on Thursday, November 7, at 7:00 p.m., at which
time they would review amongst themselves the different requests and make a final recommendation. The
Commissioners had some general questions regarding the CDBG Program and what type of questions would
be appropriate during their presentation and question and answer period. Mr. Cooney indicated that the
Commissioners were free to ask whatever questions they wished; however, they should focus primarily on
issues such as the operations of the requesting agency, the number of Mount Prospect residents served, the
type of services provided, and so on.

Page 2
Chairman Brennan outlined to those in the audience how the Public Hearing would proceed with regards to
reviewing the 2003 Budget for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. He asked that
all applicants for the CDBG program sign in and noted that he would call on them in the order they had
signed in to make their presentation. He requested that their presentation be no longer than five minutes,
which would then be followed by a question and answer period by the Commission. He advised them that the
Commission would then take all the comments and questions into consideration and would be meeting again
on November 7th to make a final recommendation to the Village's Board of Trustees.
Chair Brennan then asked that the representative from Access to Care come forward and make a presentation.
The representative indicated that Access to Care provides low-income healthcare to residents of Mount
Prospect and was good access to medical care for many who could not otherwise afford it.
The next presentation was regarding Camp Fire - Campin' Kids. They outlined their program, which involves
a summer day care. They indicated that their budget request for this year was $15,000 and said they primarily
serve children of the Boxwood area.
The third presentation was for the Clayground Ceramics Program, which offers some youth programs for low-
income children. They also requested a $I5,000 funding for 2003. They indicated that they offer two
programs a week, one on Tuesday afternoons and one on Friday evenings. They serve approximately 40
children per year.
The fourth presenter was a representative from the Village of Mount Prospect's Human Services Department.
They indicated that the Village operates two different programs, the Summer Adventure Program and The
Mentor Program. The requested budget amount for the Summer Adventure Program was $15,000 and the
requested amount for the Mentor Program was $3,000. Both programs are targeted to meet the needs of at
risk children within the Village.
The next presentation was by CEDA Northwest Self-Help Center. CEDA provides services for transitional
housing. They said their request actually contained two components: one was a program funding request of
$10,000; the second was $25,000 for CEDA's building sprinkler improvements. It was discussed that the
building rehab funding was a separate line item vs. the public service program.
The next presentation was by a representative of Pads to Hope. The Pads to Hope Program provides several
shelters for homeless people. They had indicated their 2003 funding request was $5,000.
The next presentation was for the Girl Scouts Program and the funding request is targeted towards low-
income people that are not normally served by the Girl Scouts Program. They indicated their funding request
for FY 2003 was $10,000. They indicated that their research shows there are approximately 770 Hispanic
females (ages 5 to 17) in Mount Prospect; however, the Girl Scouts Program served less than 100 in 2001.
They are hoping to serve at least 250 children within that range.
The next presentation was from the Child Advocacy Center. Their request was for $3,000. They indicated
that they assist with regards to sexual and physical abuse cases providing counseling support, Court advocacy
and other services. They indicated that they had served 36 new and ongoing cases within Mount Prospect this
current year.
The next presentation was from the Mt. Prospect Park District's Club RecPlex facility. Their request for
$3,000 related to the Friday night Youth Program that they offer at the RecPlex. The program is funded
ommunity Relations Commission

primarily by the Park District, with the remaining funding provided through the CDBG program.
The next presentation was for the Special Leisure Services Foundation. They requested $5,000. The program
is targeted to cover additional costs for inclusion of handicapped people within the park district programs.
The last presentation was regarding the Resources for Community Living. This request was for $5,000 and
the program serves adults with developmental and physical disabilities.
Chairman Brennan closed the public hearing after all members in the audience had the opportunity to
comment on the subject.

Mount Prospect, Illinois.
CALL TO ORDER
Chairman John Brennan called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m. Commissioners Barbara Muench, Judi
Muniz (arrived at 7:20) and Pankaj Parikh were present. Commissioner Anthony Tolbert was absent.
Also present were staff liaison Lisa Angell and Bill Cooney, Director of Community Development.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
There were no minutes for approval.
OLD BUSINESS
FY 2003 CDBG Budget and Action Plan
Chairman Brennan asked each of the commission members to summarize the five requests that they were
assigned at the previous meeting. Each member provided a brief summary of their respective requests and
offered insights on the particular requests. Once all of the requests were summarized, Chairman Brennan
suggested that the Commission take each request one by one and determine if the Commission wished to
modify the preliminary staff funding recommendation.
The commission members indicated that they were generally in support of the preliminary recommendation,
especially since they were not very familiar with many of the programs and that each of the programs were
certainly worthy of full funding. After a lengthy discussion of each request, the Commission determined that
they would recommend that the preliminary recommendation be modified to increase funding for the
Suburban Primary Health Care Program to $11,000 and to decrease the Club RecPIex Program to $2,500 and
the Special Leisure Services Program to $2,000. The consensus was that the two publicly run programs had
other revenues sources to tap into while the Suburban Primary Health Care provided a very important service
to Iow -income individuals that do not have access to health insurance.
Chairman Brennan asked for a motion to approve the CRC's recommendation to the Village Board.
Commissioner Muench made a motion to approve the FY 2003 Action Plan and CDBG budget as amended
and to forward the recommendation to the Village Board for their review and consideration. Commissioner
Muniz seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. The attached spreadsheet reflects the CRC's
recommendation.
NEW BUSINESS
The Commission briefly discussed what their next steps should be. Chairman Brennan suggested that the
commission members review their bylaws, specifically the goals and objectives that were stipulated by the
Village Board when they created the CRC, and to be prepared to discuss what topics the CRC should pursue
during the upcoming year.

Chairman Brennan had no additional comments.
