the CDBG process, and the Commission would have time to question funding applicants after their individual
presentations at the August 21st meeting.
Mr. Jacobs also explained that since HUD has not notified the Village of its 2004 allocation, the Village's 2004
estimate is based on the 2003 allocation. Mr. Jacobs stated that if HUD releases the 2004 figure pdor to the
August 21st meeting he will ask the staff liaison to forward the information to the Commission.

them of the August 21 st meeting. The staff liaison stated she would send the letters.
At the conclusion of the CDBG discussion Mr. Jacobs and Ms. Wameke excused themselves from the meeting.
[The Commission received a memo and a draft copy of an information card from Police Chief Eddington in their

reported she reviewed the wdtten information from the Police Department, and submitted and discussed her
revisions to Commander Semkiu. There were no comments from the other Commissioners.

Father Sonny.

Services Department 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 low-income at-
risk children within the Village.
The next presentation was for the Clayground Professional Art Studio, a Division of the River Trails Park
District. This program provides youth programs for low-income children. Because the facility is now a

Prospect.

supportive services to adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities. These services include
everything from balancing a checkbook, to participating in social groups, to finding affordable housing. This

funds this program, with the remaining funding provided through the CDBG program.
