A. 2016-17 Community Develop1nent Block Grant Hearing #3 Trustee Sutker read a prepared statement "I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker employed by a social service agency that is an applicant for a CDBG grant. I do not believe this creates a conflict, however, I believe it is important to avoid the appearance of partiality. Therefore, I will recuse myself from participating in the discussions relating to the applications and from voting on the grants. My recusal from participating in the discussion should not be construed as indifference to the valuable services that the applicants provide to people in need. I commend and admire all of the agencies for their efforts." Planner/CDBG Administrator Carrie J. Haberstich presented the CDBG Public Hearing #3 The Village's entitlement grant for Program Year 2016-17 remains unknown, so the estimate of $450,000 continues to be assumed at this point based on an approximate 7% reduction from Program Year 2015-16 entitlement funding. In addition to the new entitlement, $35,000 in unobligated funds and $10,315 in program income is recommended to be applied to the Program Year 2016-17 budget. (The main sources of unobligated funds are from previous surplus entitlement funds or capital improvement project bids coming in under 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 Horne Improvement Program, Street resurfacing, or the 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program, should the recommended allocations prove inadequate during Program Year 2016-17. The total estimated budget is $495,315.  12973 Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees Monday, February 1, 2016 Page Three CDBG Recommended Budget Program Year 2016-17 February 1, 2016 - Proposed Program Year Program Year 2015-16 2016-17 Projects Funded Requested Suggested Allowed Administration VOS - Program Administration and Planning 97,161 90,000 90,000 Subtotal 97,161 90,000 90,000 90,000 Tier Code Service 1 5.1 VOS - Social Worker 32,955 41,629 25,047 1 5.1 Metropolitan Family Services 6,000 6,000 6,000 2 5.1 JCFS 3,570 10,000 4,000 3 5.2 Center for Enriched Living 2,040 3,500 0 3 5.2 Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation 2,040 3,000 0 4 5.5 Access to Care 0 6,000 0 1 5.8 PEER Services, Inc. 6,120 12,000 7,500 2 5.9 Children's Advocacy Center 2,550 3,000 3,000 2 5.9 The Harbour, Inc. 5,100 8,720 6,000 1 6.2 North Shore Senior Center 8,160 10,000 10,000 1 7.3 YOU Youth and Opportunity United 6,120 15,000 7,500 Subtotal 74,655 118,849 69,047 69,047 Construction 2.1 VOS - Home Improvement Program 75,111 70,000 64,268 Housing Opportunity Development 2.22 Corporation 0 20,000 12,000 - Housing Authority of Cook County 20,000 0 0 3.1 VOS - Street Resurfacing 180,000 200,000 175,000 3.2 VOS - 50/50 Sidewalk Grant Program 3,000 3,000 3,000 4.1 CJE SeniorLife 20,000 78,750 25,000 4.1 Turning Point 9,500 29,174 12,000 4.2 Search, Inc. 15,000 13,500 10,000 4.2 Orchard Village 20,000 16,575 15,000 4.4 SHORE Community Services 5,000 10,243 0 4.5 Asian Human Services - Skokie Clinic 25,000 25,000 20,000 Subtotal 372,611 466,242 336,268 336,268 Grand Total 544,427 675,091 495,315 495,315 Overall Budget with Unallocated Funds and Program Income 495,315 Estimated Entitlement from HUD 450,000 Past Unallocated Funds to be Programmed 35,000 PY15 Program Income 10,315 Estimated Budget for Cap Restrictions Caps Administration Cap (20%) - estimated entitlement only 90,000 Public Service Cap (15%) - estimated entitlement + program income 69,047 12974 Meeting of the Mayor- and Board of Trustees Monday, February 1, 2016 Page Four Motion to concur with the recommended projects and funding levels for 2016-2017 CDBG Program.
