MOTION CARRIED A. 2018-2019 Community Development Block Grant Hearing #3. Planner/CDBG Administrator Carrie J. Haberstich presented the Public Heating #3 The Village's entitlement grant for Program Year 2018-19 remains unknown, so the estimate of $500,000 continues to be assumed at this point based on a slight reduction from Program Year 2017-18 entitlement funding. In addition to the new entitlement, $11,825 in unobligated funds and $15,343 in program income is recommended to be applied to the Program Year 2018-19 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 planning and administration 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 construction-related activities, should the recommended allocations prove inadequate during Program Year 2018-19. The total estimated budget is $527,168.
