MOTION CARRIED 2014-15 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing #3. Planner/CDBG Administrator Carrie J. Haberstich presented the CDBG Public Hearing #3. The Village's entitlement grant for Program Year 2014-15 remains unknown, so the estimate of $450,000 continues to be assumed at this point based on an approximate 5% reduction of the Program Year 2013-14 entitlement funding. In addition to the new entitlement, $66,991 in unobligated funds and $12,128 in program income is recommended to be applied to the Program Year 2014-15 budget. (The majority of the unobligated funds are from last year’s surplus entitlement over the approved budget.) The program cap of 20% for administrative funding is applied only against the new entitlement while the 15% cap for public service funding (non- capital expenditures) is applied against the new entitlement plus program income. Per our normal procedures, a balance of unobligated funds will be retained for emergencies for activities such as the Home Improvement Program, Street Resurfacing, or the 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program, should the recommended allocations prove inadequate during Program Year 2014-15. The total estimated budget is $529,119. 12790 Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees Monday, February 3, 2014 Page Four Recommended Budget Program Year 2014-15 Program Year Program Year 2013-14 2014-15 Projects Funded Requested Suggested Allowed Administration VOS - Program Administration and Planning 93,500 90,000 90,000 Subtotal 93,500 90,000 90,000 90,000 Service VOS - Social Worker 33,644 33,392 31,519 Metropolitan Family Services 5,000 6,000 5,000 JCFS 3,850 10,000 3,500 Center for Enriched Living 2,200 3,500 2,200 Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation 2,200 3,000 2,200 Access to Care 3,850 6,000 2,200 PEER Services, Inc. 4,950 12,000 4,500 Children's Advocacy Center 2,200 2,750 2,200 The Harbour, Inc. 4,950 8,000 4,500 North Shore Senior Center 7,150 10,000 6,500 YOU Youth Organizations Umbrella, Inc. n/a 8,000 5,000 Northside Community Development Corporation n/a 10,000 0 Subtotal 69,994 112,642 69,319 69,319 Construction VOS - Home Improvement Program 95,000 85,000 85,000 VOS - Street Resurfacing 150,000 200,000 190,000 VOS - 50/50 Sidewalk Grant Program 3,000 3,000 3,000 Connections for the Homeless 3,559 3,750 3,750 CJE SeniorLife 15,000 27,363 20,000 Turning Point n/a 5,362 5,300 Search, Inc. 24,750 18,750 18,000 SHORE Community Services - CILA 13,541 8,025 8,000 Orchard Village n/a 23,734 18,000 New Foundation Center n/a 18,750 18,750 SHORE Community Services - Regenstein see CILA 4,815 0 Subtotal 304,850 398,549 369,800 369,800 Grand Total 468,344 601,191 529,119 529,119 Overall Budget with Unallocated Funds and Program Income 529,119 Estimated Entitlement from HUD 450,000 Unallocated Funds 66,991 Program Income During PY13 12,128 Motion to concur with the recommended projects and funding levels for the 2014-15 CDBG Program.
