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 RecPlex 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 low -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.
