Absent: None MOTION CARRIED 2012-13 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing #2. CDBG Administrator Carrie J. Haberstich presented the Public Hearing. 2012-2013 CDBG Funding Proposals The Village's entitlement grant for 2012-2013 is not known yet. We are estimating $425,000 at this point based on hearing reports that CDBG funding is expected to decrease once again. In addition to the new entitlement, we will reprogram approximately $4,500 in unobligated funds from completed projects and $4,100 in program income this past year. The estimated 2012-2013 budget is therefore $433,600. Proposals from both Village staff and outside agencies total $605,114, so reductions totaling $171,514 will be necessary. The program cap of 20% for administrative funding is applied against the new entitlement only while the 15% for public service funding (non-capital expenditures) is applied against the new entitlement plus the program income.
