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.
