 WHEREAS, Congratulations are extended to the members of Hadassah on the occasion
of the organization’s 100th anniversary on February 24, 2012; and

 WHEREAS, with 300,000 members, Hadassah is the largest Jewish volunteer
organization in America and one of the largest women’s volunteer organizations in the world; and

 WHEREAS, in 1909, Henrietta Szold and her mother took a trip to pre-state Israel,
where they witnessed the starvation and disease that afflicted the people of the region. Upon
returning to the United States, she soon founded Hadassah, a volunteer women’s organization
with the biblical mission of Aruhat Bat Ami: the Healing of the Daughter of My People; and

 WHEREAS, by the mid-1930’s, it because clear that Jewish children needed to be saved
from a Europe that was rapidly darkening with anti-Semitic and Nazi threats. Joining with a
German colleague, Henrietta Szold helped organize the rescue of thousands such children,
bringing them to safety in Palestine; and

 WHEREAS, Hadassah founded, owns, and supports two world-class medical centers in
greater Jerusalem, and is rapidly expanding their campuses and facilities. Hadassah is currently
concluding a $210 million campaign for the Sarah Wetsman Davidson Tower at Hadassah
Medical Center in Ein Kerem, Jerusalem. Hadassah has expanded Israeli projects to include
Hadassah College Jerusalem, three Hadassah Youth Aliyah villages and residency programs for
American Jewish youth through Young Judaea, the Hadassah Zionist youth movement; and

 WHEREAS, since its inception, Hadassah has in the United States taken firm advocacy
positions on First Amendment issues, public health, support of Israel, and a vast array of social
concerns, including immigration and voting rights. In recent years, Hadassah has spoken out
passionately in favor of federal and state funding for stem cell research and has advocated
strongly for legislation that supports medical privacy and freedom from genetic discrimination by
insurance companies and employers.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village of Skokie,
do hereby proclaim Friday, February 24, as

 “HADASSAH’S 100th ANNIVERSARY DAY”

 This Agreement is entered into this day of 2012 by and
between RITA COSTAS AND ANDREW COSTAS, hereinafter referred to as "PROPERTY
OWNERS", and the VILLAGE OF SKOKIE, an Illinois municipal corporation hereinafter referred
to as "VILLAGE". The parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

 1. PROPERTY OWNERS are the owners of real property located in the Village of

 PARCEL 1:
 LOTS 1 TO 10, BOTH INCLUSIVE, AND TWO LOTS 39 AND 40 IN BLOCK 18 IN

 PINS: 10-23-202-054-0000, 10-23-202-055-0000

 commonly known as 3457 Dempster Street, Skokie, Illinois.

 2. At or near the time of execution of this Agreement, the VILLAGE granted an
 Occupancy Permit, Business License, or Special Use Permit hereinafter collectively
 referred to as “permit” pursuant to state statutes and local ordinances.

 3. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNERS are required to
 install and maintain landscaping in accordance with the revised plan dated June 19,
 1990 or as it may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager,
 or designee, and the Corporation Counsel.

 4. The parties to this Agreement recognize that the installation and maintenance of
 landscaping is an integral part of the PROPERTY OWNERS’ plan for development
 and/or use of the property and is necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the
 VILLAGE's land use objectives, and that the permit would not have been approved
 by the VILLAGE without the assurance that this Agreement would be executed by
 the PROPERTY OWNERS.

 5. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:
 (a) installation of the landscaping in accordance with the landscaping plan
 approved by the VILLAGE, and
 (b) continued maintenance and care of the landscaping, including any
 landscaping indicated in the parkway area.

 6. The property, which is the subject matter of this Agreement, is legally described
 above. The portions of the subject property which are to be landscaped and
 maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are indicated on
 the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part
 of this Agreement.

 7. PROPERTY OWNERS agree that the installation and maintenance of the
 landscaping which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE
 and this Agreement will materially benefit the subject property. Such landscaping is
 necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNERS to comply with the conditions of
 the permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNERS’
 requested development or use of the property.

 8. PROPERTY OWNERS shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is
 installed and required by the permit and this Agreement, using generally accepted
 methods of cultivation and watering. The PROPERTY OWNERS shall maintain a
 standard of care necessary to prevent the landscaping from deteriorating to the
 extent that its value as landscaping is destroyed. If Exhibit “1”, attached hereto or
 permit specifies maintenance standards or procedures, such procedures are hereby
 adopted as part of this Agreement, and by such adoption, become enforcement
 conditions of this Agreement.

 9. Failure to maintain the landscaping as required by this Agreement shall be a
 nuisance. In the event the PROPERTY OWNERS fail to meet the standard of
 maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required
 by this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the
 PROPERTY OWNERS who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or
 replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20-
 day period, the VILLAGE may elect to abate the nuisance and take necessary action
 to assure that the landscaping is replaced and/or maintained. In the event, the
 VILLAGE so elects; the VILLAGE shall serve notice of its intent to enter the
 premises for this purpose. The VILLAGE shall either personally serve the notice
 upon the PROPERTY OWNERS or mail a copy of it by certified mail to the
 PROPERTY OWNERS’ last known address, or as shown on the tax rolls, at least 15
 days in advance of the date when the VILLAGE or its agent intends to enter the
 premises.

10. For this purpose, the VILLAGE or its agent may enter upon the property and perform
 such work as it considers reasonably necessary and proper to restore, maintain, or
 replace the landscaping required by this Agreement. The VILLAGE may act either
 through its own employees or through an independent contractor.

11. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in
 restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE
 follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not
 be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The
 VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNERS for payment. If the
 PROPERTY OWNERS fail to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which
 demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the subject
 property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook
 County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape
 Agreement. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to collect interest at the statutory rate on
 the amount owed.

12. In addition to having a lien placed on the subject property, the VILLAGE may
 institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNERS
 agree to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.

13. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNERS post
 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNERS to post additional security. The
 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
 performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The
 condition of the security shall be that if the PROPERTY OWNERS fail to perform any
 obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the

 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING MAP WITH REGARD
 TO THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5550 TOUHY AVENUE
 SKOKIE, ILLINOIS FROM AN M1 OFFICE ASSEMBLY
 DISTRICT TO A B3 BUSINESS DISTRICT

 1 WHEREAS, the owner of the following described real property:

 2 THE WEST 220 FEET OF THE SOUTH 495 FEET OF THE SOUTHWEST ¼ OF
 3 SECTION 28, TOWNSHIP 41 NORTH, RANGE 13 (EXCEPT THAT PART OF THE
 4 LAND FALLING IN THE STREET) EAST OF THE THIRD PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, IN
 5 COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
 6 PIN: 10-28-312-031-0000
 7 commonly known 5550 Touhy Avenue, Skokie, Illinois (hereinafter “Subject Property”),
 8 petitioned the Village of Skokie to reclassify the zoning of the Subject Property from an M1
 9 Office Assembly district to a B3 Business district; and

10 WHEREAS, the Subject Property is currently zoned M1 Office Assembly and abuts
11 M1 zoned property on the north and east sides. However, the Subject Property is directly
12 across the street from retail intensive, commercially zoned properties, Village Crossing and
13 Pointe Plaza shopping centers; and

14 WHEREAS, the Subject Property currently contains a 4-story office building and a
15 185-space surface parking lot. There are no industrial uses on the property, nor is the
16 building designed for such uses. All existing tenants perform office type activities; and

17 WHEREAS, the petitioner desires to reclassify the property in order to attract a wider
18 range of tenants, including medical clinics, which are currently not a permitted use in the M1
19 district; and

21 sides of the Skokie-Niles border, have trended towards retail/service employment; and

22 WHEREAS, Community Development Department staff is supportive of the zoning
23 changes, which would allow a greater variety of office uses that would be appropriate for the
24 Subject Property. Staff also stated that reclassification of the Subject Property would create
25 a legal non-conforming situation as the current building, estimated at 45 to 50 feet in height,
26 exceeds the height restriction limit of 39 feet in a B3 district; and

27 WHEREAS, the petitioner was informed that a special use permit could be
28 requested if in the future there was a desire to increase the height of the building; and

30 interested parties testified, one commissioner inquired about the current occupancy rate of

 2 and

 3 WHEREAS, after all discussion, the Skokie Plan Commission (i) determined that
 4 proper notice had been given; (ii) made the appropriate findings of fact in the affirmative as
 5 required under Section 118-32 of the Skokie Village Code and (iii) voted to recommend to
 6 the Mayor and Board of Trustees that the requested zoning reclassification be granted and
 7 the Official Zoning Map of the Village of Skokie be amended to reflect this reclassification;
 8 and

 9 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees, after the public meeting duly held on
10 December 19, 2011, concurred in the aforesaid recommendation of the Plan Commission;

11 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the

 AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE INSTALLATION AND
 ESTABLISHMENT OF A TWO-WAY STOP SIGN CONTROL AT
 THE INTERSECTION OF DAVIS STREET AND LINDER
 AVENUE, SKOKIE, ILLINOIS

 1 WHEREAS, due to the concerns regarding the traffic flow and the uniqueness of the
 2 intersection of the Davis Street and Linder Avenue intersection, the Village Manager directed the
 3 Engineering Division to review it for potential intersection control; and

 4 WHEREAS, this intersection lays half within the Village of Skokie and half within the
 5 Village of Morton Grove. The western corporate limits of the Village of Skokie, run through the
 6 center line of Linder Avenue. Currently there exists no traffic controls at the intersection, thus it is
 7 an open intersection; and

 8 WHEREAS, the Traffic Engineering Division conducted a study of the intersection’s
 9 characteristics that may result in accident potential with the existing no control at the Davis Street
10 and Linder Avenue intersection; and

11 WHEREAS, an analysis of the information collected for the study led to the following
12 determinations:
13 i. The intersection is located in a residential area of the Village, west of the Edens
14 Expressway and is shared with the Village of Morton Grove;
15 ii. The accident experience is less than one per year;
16 iii. Davis Street and Linder Avenue are both local streets, but have different features:
17 a. Linder Avenue is 30 feet wide with average daily traffic (ADT) of 336,
18 b. Davis Street is 25 feet wide with a 200 ADT;
19 iv. There is no direct assignment of right of way and with this intersection being a
20 school bus stop, designation of control would be beneficial; and

21 WHEREAS, based upon the above determinations, the Director of Engineering made the
22 recommendation to the Village Manager to change the existing no control operation to a two-way
23 stop sign with the placement of the stop signs on Davis Street, along with stop lines and cross
24 walk lines, to improve the safety characteristics of this intersection and the area in general; and

25 WHEREAS, the Village of Morton Grove has been apprised of the intersection
26 investigation and the recommendations thereof; and

27 WHEREAS, the Village of Morton Grove has been informed of the recommendation, and
28 the Director of Engineering will coordinate the administrative aspects with Morton Grove; and

CDBG proposals from both Village staff and outside agencies totaled $605,114, so reductions
totaling $166,009 are necessary to meet the estimated budget.

Staff from the Human Services Division reviewed the public service proposals and helped shape
the staff recommendations regarding such activities, and site visits were made by Department of
Community Development staff to the locations for which rehab or capital improvement funds
were requested. Funding recommendations take into account existing conditions, immediacy of
the problem, necessity of the public services, coordination with the work of the Village’s Human
Services Division, priorities of the Village’s Consolidated Plan, and conformance with the
CDBG program regulations. Program Year 2012-13 will mark the second year in which a 25%
agency match is required for any award of CDBG funding for capital improvement or building
rehabilitation projects. A full description of the recommended activities and funding levels is
provided at the end of this memo.


Program Administration (20% cap)
The staff request for Program Administration is $85,000, or 20% of the estimated entitlement
amount. This sum will fund the costs of administering the CDBG program. Any unused funds
will be reprogrammed in 2013-14. If the Program Year 2012-13 entitlement amount turns out to
be less than the estimate, this allocation will need to be decreased accordingly.


Public Services (15% cap)
The requests for Public Services funding totaled $98,488, so a reduction of at least $33,883 is
necessary for the coming fiscal year to bring the total public service funding within the estimated
15% cap. The CDBG program was originally designed to be a “bricks and mortar” program as
evidenced by the fact that only 15% of new funding and program income can be used for
activities not resulting in actual physical improvements. The original program guidelines
actually limited public services to only 10% of the grant, but this was increased in the 1980s.
HUD does not support further increases in the public service cap. The Village’s funding
application form stresses the preference for capital improvements and rehabilitation activities
and warns applicants that public service funding is very limited. It states that public service
grants to outside agencies will generally be less than $10,000; however, the Village continues to
receive a significant number of such requests, primarily from agencies located outside Skokie
that serve the Village’s residents.

 Recommended Village of Skokie Activity
 In order to more fairly distribute the anticipated entitlement funds, staff proposes to reduce
 the funding requests for the Village’s public services activity.

 Funding for the Social Worker position is recommended for $27,605, a decrease from
 the $35,350 budgeted for Program Year 2011-12. The Village’s social worker primarily
 works with an ever-increasing number of Village residents meeting the low-income
 guidelines who necessitate various counseling, referral, case management, and other
 social work services. This year’s request was $35,380, and staff is recommending the
 reduction to enable the Village to fund more of the outside public service requests for the
 coming year. This reduction will necessitate additional funding from the Village’s
 General Fund to fulfill this activity.

VOSDOCS-#395067-v1-CDBG_Public_Hearings_Memo_No__3.DOC 2
 Recommended Activities for Other Organizations
 In order to more fairly distribute the anticipated entitlement funds, staff proposes to
 match or reduce the funding requests for public service activities for eight private
 organizations. Staff does not recommend funding any activity less than $2,000, due to
 the required documentation efforts associated with program administration for both the
 Village and the applicants.

 Funding for the Center for Enriched Living program is recommended at $2,000, which
 will enable the organization to provide scholarship assistance for developmentally
 disabled Skokie residents to participate in various programs such as sports, hobbies, and
 self-care for participants to learn new skills and socialize with others.

 Funding for the Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation program is
 recommended at $2,000, which will provide scholarship assistance for developmentally
 disabled Skokie residents to participate in therapeutic recreation activities.

 Funding for the Access to Care program is recommended at $5,000, which will enable
 approximately seven Skokie residents to receive primary health care services such as
 unlimited visits to their Access to Care physician, routine lab and x-ray services, and
 prescription drugs for nominal co-payments.

 Funding for the PEER Services, Inc. program is recommended at $6,500, which will be
 applied to costs associated with staffing a part-time treatment engagement and retention
 specialist. Services will include outreach, assessment, and treatment for teens, families,
 and single adults in the Village. The operation of an Intensive Outpatient Program for
 teens with substance abuse issues has been very valuable for the overall youth services by
 the Human Services Division. PEER is also part of the Village’s regular court call team
 for teen substance abuse cases.

 Funding for the Children’s Advocacy Center is recommended at $2,500, which will be
 applied to costs associated with staffing an advocate/counselor to provide support to child
 victims of abuse and their non-offending family members, through expert child
 interviews, medical evaluations, and crisis intervention services.

 Funding for The Harbour is recommended at $6,000, which will serve teens and young
 adults by providing emergency shelter and transitional housing to runaway, homeless,
 and neglected youth. This organization is a valuable component in the local social
 service network, and has demonstrated fiscal responsibility this past year by adjusting its
 budget to correspond with its revenues, so near-full funding is recommended.

 Funding for the North Shore Senior Center program is recommended at $8,000, which
 will provide long-term case management and counseling services to Skokie’s
 homebound, low-income elderly and their families. This organization works very closely
 with the Human Services Division on an almost daily basis, so near-full funding is
 recommended.

 Funding for Metropolitan Family Services is recommended at $5,000, which will
 provide counseling services to low/moderate-income Skokie residents. In the past, this
 organization has requested capital improvement and rehabilitation funding; however, the
 organization greatly needs public services funding to continue to provide grief, trauma,
VOSDOCS-#395067-v1-CDBG_Public_Hearings_Memo_No__3.DOC 3
 family/couple and/or parent/child relationship, child/adolescent school performance and
 behavior, work performance, substance abuse, individual and family development, and
 family violence counseling services to Skokie residents. The Human Services Division
 depends on this organization on an almost daily basis, so full funding is strongly
 recommended.

 Activity not Recommended for Funding
 Any activities that don’t provide enough information to ensure compliance with program
 eligibility or make an informed decision, and/or match a high priority activity from the
 Consolidated Plan are not recommended for CDBG funding.

 Funding for the proposed “Preventing Evictions in Foreclosures” program by Interfaith
 Housing Center of the Northern Suburbs is not recommended due to “tenant/landlord
 counseling” activities being considered only a “medium” priority per Table 2B in the
 Village’s Consolidated Plan, and the overall demand for public services funding far
 exceeding the estimated supply available utilizing the 15% funding cap. In addition, the
 Village already provides foreclosure counseling to residents two days a week through the
 Community and Economic Development Association of Cook County (CEDA), whose
 counselor spends those two days in the Village’s Human Services Division offices to
 provide such counseling for Skokie residents.

 Interfaith currently provides tenant/landlord counseling services between Skokie renters
 and property owners, a program that is appreciated and a resource recommended to
 tenants and landlords by Village staff. If the Village Board supports upgrading
 “tenant/landlord counseling” to a high priority, staff will look into the procedure for
 amending the Consolidated Plan to potentially recommend funding for a tenant/landlord
 counseling activity in the future. Please keep in mind that staff recommends keeping
 tenant landlord counseling and foreclosure counseling separate due to potential conflict
 of interest issues.


Capital Improvements and Rehabilitation
Following allocations of $85,000 for Program Administration and $64,605 for Public Services,
staff is recommending that $289,500 be awarded for six capital improvement and rehab
activities. If additional funding is allocated per the bulleted list on Page 1, two alternate
activities will receive funding. We were unable to fully fund the requested amounts of any of the
project requests.

 Recommended Village of Skokie Projects
 In order to more fairly distribute the anticipated entitlement funds, staff proposes to reduce
 the funding requests for the Village’s capital improvement and rehabilitation projects.

 Funding for the Home Improvement Program is recommended for $110,000. To-date,
 the demand for funding is slightly reduced from the prior program year; however,
 demand is anticipated to remain high, so only a slight reduction is recommended. This
 program has been ongoing for 29 years. Three years ago, the maximum grant was raised
 from $8,000 to $12,000 per household in cases where emergency and life safety
 improvements were necessary.

VOSDOCS-#395067-v1-CDBG_Public_Hearings_Memo_No__3.DOC 4
 Funding for the Street Resurfacing Program is recommended for $150,000, potentially
 eliminating CDBG funding for resurfacing the alley. The resurfacing work will be on
 Keating Avenue between Keeney and Washington Streets. This area has not received
 capital improvement funding in several years as the recent focus has been on the area
 between the Downtown and Oakton Community College campus.

 Funding for the 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program is recommended for $2,000,
 since fewer applications were submitted for Program Year 2011-12 from Program Year
 2010-11. Homeowners meeting the low/moderate income requirements are eligible to
 receive grants for their shares of the sidewalk replacement cost. The focus of the
 sidewalk replacement efforts will be in an area bounded by Dempster Street to the north,
 Main Street to the south, and the municipal boundaries to the east and west.

 Recommended Projects for Other Organizations
 In order to more fairly distribute the anticipated entitlement funds, staff proposes to reduce
 the funding requests for capital improvement and rehabilitation projects for three private
 organizations.

 Funding for CJE SeniorLife is recommended for $10,000, which will assist with the
 purchase of one of the two commercial-grade 40-gallon capacity kitchen kettles of the
 organization’s proposal. The kettles enable the preparation of soup stocks, mashed
 potatoes, ground beef and turkey items, gravies, and various rice and pasta dishes for
 meals for approximately 210 Lieberman residents and home-delivered meals to
 approximately 100 Skokie residents almost every day. The kettles are used almost every
 day, and are sometimes used for 24-hour periods when making soup stocks.

 Funding for SHORE Community Services is recommended for $4,500, which will
 assist with the replacement of four energy-efficient windows and three heavy-duty
 exterior doors at the group home located at 8900 Central Park Avenue. Although there
 are apparent water/foundation problems at this group home, and technicians from the
 Building Division accompanied Community Development staff on the site visit, the
 uncertainty of the magnitude of the potential water problem and the appropriate solution
 prompted staff to not recommend support that portion of the request at this time. Staff is
 recommending to waive the 25% cost share for this effort in order to give SHORE the
 ability to hire and pay for a structural engineer (or similar expert) to evaluate the potential
 water/foundation problem and provide a written recommendation with line item cost
 estimates for the recommended solution. Since the issue does not appear to pose an
 imminent danger at present, SHORE could apply for funding next year if the solution is a
 CDBG-eligible activity.

 Funding for Orchard Village is recommended for $13,000, which will assist with the
 repair or replacement of two bathrooms, kitchen appliances, mortar (tuckpointing), and
 gutters at the group home located at 3856 Brummel Street. Although this amount is
 significantly reduced from the requested amount, the funding will be contingent upon
 Orchard Village addressing at least one other line item from the proposal and performing
 general maintenance activities, including, but not limited to, floor covering repair and
 interior/exterior painting, and providing before and after photos of such activities.



VOSDOCS-#395067-v1-CDBG_Public_Hearings_Memo_No__3.DOC 5
 Recommended Alternate Projects
 Since staff is anticipating another reduction in CDBG funds, and allotting a greatly reduced
 grant to two organizations will likely result in these organizations not moving forward with
 their projects, staff is proposing that these two organizations receive alternate funding should
 the Village receive a minimum of $435,000 in new entitlement funding.

 Funding for Search, Inc. is recommended up to a maximum of $15,000, which will assist
 with the remodeling of two bathrooms to increase accessibility and safety in a group
 home for women with developmental disabilities at 7807 Keeler Avenue.

 Funding for Turning Point is recommended up to a maximum of $5,000, which will
 assist in the creation of one nurse practitioner’s office and two substance abuse
 counseling offices within the Turning Point building at 8324 Skokie Boulevard.

 Should these two organizations not receive funding this year, staff will consider their
 applications again next year.

 Project not Recommended for Funding
 Any projects that don’t provide enough information to ensure compliance with program
 eligibility or make an informed decision, and/or match a high priority activity from the
 Consolidated Plan are not recommended for CDBG funding.

 Funding for the Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) is not recommended due
 to the lack of understanding of the scope/magnitude of the project, the projected cost per
 square foot of constructing the ramps, (the cost of concrete was estimated by the HACC’s
 inspector at $21-25/square foot, while the Village of Skokie generally pays $5/square
 foot (or less) for concrete and $20/linear foot of concrete curb), and the lack of sufficient
 documentation demonstrating proactive measures to locate other sources of funding.
 Staff found the sidewalks and existing ramps to be in generally good condition, but with
 some slopes potentially exceeding current ADA standards. The driveway is also in
 generally good condition, and enables individuals to be dropped off at the front entrance
 to access the building without using the ramps.

 Since the CDBG program and the HACC are both funded by HUD, staff has concerns
 about whether or not the proposed ramp improvements could be funded by the CDBG
 program in the future, even after a well-documented search demonstrating an inability to
 secure outside funding sources is provided. The HACC is encouraged to consider
 “economies of scale” when addressing similar projects among its eight northern elderly
 housing facilities by packaging together similar improvement projects such as ADA
 ramps, accessibility in common area restrooms, accessibility in individual units, etc.

 Recommendation
 ($)
Administration
  VOS - Program Funding will be used to administer the Village’s CDBG Program, implement and monitor all projects, submit 85,000
  Administration all required documentation to HUD, and coordinate all planning activities relative to the Village’s community
 development efforts. (Activity subject to 20% administrative cap.)


Public Services
 VOS - Social Worker Funding will be used to offset the costs of a Village of Skokie Social Worker position. This position works 27,605
 exclusively with low/moderate-income residents who need various types of financial assistance, counseling,
 and referrals. Residents seeking financial aid are required to prove their income status prior to receiving
 any assistance from the Human Services Division. CDBG funding is expected to provide case
 management, counseling, and referral services for 340 low/moderate-income Skokie residents in Program
 Year 2011-12. (Activity subject to 15% public service cap.)
 Center for Enriched The Center for Enriched Living (CEL) exists so that low/moderate-income people with developmental 2,000
 Living disabilities can be fully included in the community, achieve personal success, and enjoy a good quality of
 life. Although the programs are fun and of great interest to participants, CEL's primary objective is to
 alleviate the isolation and loneliness experienced by people with developmental disabilities. Various
 programs and activities teach new skills and enhance the participants' abilities to communicate with and
 relate to others. Programs are offered seven days a week throughout the year at various locations,
 including Niles North High School. CDBG funding will provide scholarship assistance, and the program is
 expected to serve a total of 71 low/moderate-income Skokie residents, of which a percentage will receive
 direct scholarship assistance in Program Year 2012-13. (Activity subject to 15% public service cap.)




VOSDOCS-#393532-v1-CDBG_Public_Hearings_-_Proposal_Summaries.XLS 1
 Maine-Niles MNASR provides financial aid to extremely low- to low-income children and adults with developmental 2,000

 unlimited number of visits to their Access to Care physician, routine lab and x-ray services, and prescription
 drugs for nominal co-payments. Members pay $5 per physician office visits, lab specimens, and x-rays,
 and $15-40 for prescription drugs. CDBG funding will be used to offset the costs of staff functions, and is
 expected to enable 7 low/moderate-income Skokie residents to enroll into the Access to Care program in
 Program Year 2012-13. (Activity subject to 15% public service cap.)
 PEER Services PEER Services provides outreach, clinical assessments, drug education, early intervention, treatment, and 6,500
 recovery services to teens, families, and single adults who are experiencing problems related to substance
 abuse. CDBG funding will be used to offset the costs of a half-time treatment engagement and retention
 specialist, and is expected to serve 90 low/moderate-income Skokie residents with substance abuse
 services in Program Year 2012-13. (Activity subject to 15% public service cap.)
 Children's Advocacy The Children's Advocacy Center supports child victims of abuse, and their non-offending family members, 2,500

 CDBG funding will offset the costs of a Child and Family Advocate/Counselor position, and the program is
 expected to serve 18 low/moderate-income Skokie residents with counseling services in Program Year
 2012-13. (Activity subject to 15% public service cap.)




VOSDOCS-#393532-v1-CDBG_Public_Hearings_-_Proposal_Summaries.XLS 2
 The Harbour The Harbour, Inc. serves the needs of homeless youth (including locked-out, runaway, and abandoned) 6,000
 ages 12-21 in the north and northwest suburbs. Agency programs include an Emergency Shelter,
 Transitional Living Program (TLP), Independent Living Program (ILP), and a Successful Teens/Effective
 Parents (STEPS) program. Days and nights of service have increased significantly in the past year. CDBG
 funding will be disbursed among the four programs to offset the costs associated with staff functions, and
 the program is expected to serve 12 low/moderate-income Skokie residents in Program Year 2012-13.
 (Activity subject to 15% public service cap.)
 North Shore Senior The NSSC provides long-term case management and counseling services to Skokie’s homebound, low- 8,000
 Center (NSSC) income elderly and their families. Services include formal assessments, assistance in applying for public
 entitlements, arranging medical appointments, counseling services, case management, and follow-up home
 visits. CDBG funding will be used to offset the costs associated with staff functions, and the program is
 expected to serve 410 elderly, low/moderate-income Skokie residents in Program Year 2012-13. (Activity
 subject to 15% public service cap.)

 Metropolitan Family Metropolitan Family Services (MFS) supports and strengthens families and individuals through counseling 5,000
 Services services that are offered in MFS' community-based centers, clients' homes, and school settings. MFS
 utilizes a solution-focused, time-limited approach to counseling interventions that build on clients' strengths,
 capacity for change and growth, and relationships within their families, community, work, and school
 settings. CDBG funding will be used to offset the costs associated with staff functions, and the program is
 expected to serve 180 low/moderate-income Skokie residents in Program Year 2012-13. (Activity subject
 to 15% public service cap.)


Housing
 VOS - Home Funding will be used to continue the Village's program of repairing single-family homes. This program 110,000
 Improvement Program began in 1983. Low-income households (less than 50% of area median family income) are eligible to
 receive grants up to $8,000 to pay for building materials or contractors' services, and moderate-income
 households (50-80% of median family income) can receive loans up to $8,000 from local banks with the
 entire interest charges being paid through the program. In cases of emergency and life safety repairs, the
 Village has the ability to increase any grants to a level of $12,000. CDBG funding has been used to provide
 grants to 12 low-income Skokie homeowners and a loan interest payment to 1 moderate-income Skokie
 homeowner to-date in Program Year 2011-12.



VOSDOCS-#393532-v1-CDBG_Public_Hearings_-_Proposal_Summaries.XLS 3
Infrastructure
 VOS - Street and Alley Funding will be used to resurface a street in a designated low/moderate-income multi-family residential area 150,000
 Resurfacing northeast of the Skokie Boulevard and Oakton Street intersection. The street is Keating Avenue between
 Keeney Street and Washington Street. The proposed improvements are located in Census Tract 8074,
 Block Groups #3 and #5, which, according to the 2000 U.S. Census, had 61.1% and 52.5% low/moderate-
 income populations, respectively. CDBG funding was used to resurface 1 street segment and 1 alley in a
 low/moderate-income area south of Downtown Skokie, improving a neighborhood of 1,837 Skokie residents
 in Program Year 2011-12.
 VOS - 50/50 Sidewalk Funding will be used to provide grants to homeowners meeting low/moderate-income eligibility who are 2,000
 Replacement Program required to participate in the Village’s 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program. As the Village implements
 this program each year, low/moderate-income homeowners are able to apply on an individual basis for
 CDBG funds to cover their 50% share of the sidewalk replacement. A simple application form is used and
 proof of income status is based on our Home Improvement Program guidelines (i.e. most recent federal tax
 return or proof of current earnings and signed affidavit). CDBG funding was used to replace sidewalk
 segments for 31 low/moderate-income households in Program Year 2010-11, and 9 low/moderate-income
 households in Program Year 2011-12.

Public Facilities
 CJE SeniorLife The Lieberman Center for Health and Rehabilitation kitchen at 9700 Gross Point Road provides meals to 10,000
 approximately 210 Lieberman residents, and home-delivered meals to approximately 100 elderly Skokie
 residents. CDBG funding will be used to assist with the replacement of two 40-gallon capacity industrial
 kettles to ensure uninterrupted meal preparation six days a week. CJE SeniorLife will be expected to
 provide the balance of purchase and installation costs.
 SHORE The SHORE group home at 8900 Central Park provides residential living services to 7 female Skokie 4,500
 residents with developmental disabilities. CDBG funding will be used for the replacement of four energy-
 efficient windows and three heavy-duty exterior doors. Funding will be contingent upon SHORE hiring and
 paying for a structural engineer (or similar expert) to evaluate the potential water/foundation problem at the
 group home, and providing a written recommendation with line item cost estimates for the recommended
 solution. (The potential water/foundation problem does not appear to pose an imminent danger at present,
 and SHORE could apply for funding next year if the solution is a CDBG-eligible activity.)

 and performing general maintenance activities, including, but not limited to, floor covering repair and
 interior/exterior painting, and providing before and after photos of such activities.

2012-13 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing #3.
CDBG Administrator Carrie Haberstich conducted the third and final public hearing for
the 2012-13 Community Development Block Grant. The Village’s entitlement grant for
2012-13 is still unknown so we are estimating $425,000 in entitlement funds, based on
an approximate 10% reduction in entitlement funds from Program Year 2011-12, plus
recommending the use of $8,405 in unobligated funds and $5,700 in program income
for the Program Year 2012-13 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
the program income. The total estimated budget is $439,105.

During the presentation, CDBG Administrator Haberstich asked the Board if it was
amenable to upgrading "tenant/landlord counseling" from a "medium" priority to a
"high" priority in the Village's Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Since the Board supported
the potential upgrade, staff will look into the procedure for amending the Consolidated
Plan for such activities in the future.
