MOTION CARRIED 1 13420 Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees Monday January 4, 2021 Page Two 2021-2022 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing #2. (A) FY22 Public Hearing Presentations Carrie J. Haberstich, Planner/CDBG Administrator presented the Public Hearing #2 The Village's entitlement grant for FY22 is not yet known. At this time, we are estimating $600,000 in entitlement funds. In addition to the new entitlement, we plan to reprogram previously unallocated funds and program income (if available) from the current program year, while accommodating a reserve of unobligated funds that could be used for emergency expenses, resulting in an estimated FY22 budget of $650,000. Proposals from both Village staff and outside agencies total $832,520, so reductions will be necessary. The program’s 20% cap for administrative funding is applied against the new entitlement only, while the 15% cap for public service funding (non-capital/non-construction expenditures) is applied against the new entitlement plus any program income from the current program year. Budget recommendations by staff will be presented at the next public hearing on Monday, February 1. The Board will determine at that time the proposed funding award for each project or activity. Trustee Sutker recused herself from participating in the discussion and voting on the grant as she is a Licensed Social Worker employed by s social service agency that is an applicant for a CDBG grant. She acknowledged the death of a member of the commission on family services, and a friend, Angelo Militello. He was a valued member of the commission, a member of the Local area network and Niles Township Youth Coalition. He worked for 10 years at JCFS advocating for teens in the alternate suspension program. He will be missed.

(Activity subject to 20% administrative cap.) Housing VOS - Home Funding will be used to continue the Village's program of repairing single-family 70,000 Improvement homes, which began in 1983.

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) accounts for this difficulty in 24 CFR 570.208 (a)(1)(ii) allowing area-wide benefits to low/moderate-income persons. Under this rule, the activity must occur in the highest quartile of Skokie Census Block Groups by concentration of low/moderate-income persons. The areas are shaded and identified in the Low/Moderate-Income Eligible Areas Map provided in section SP-10 Geographic Priorities. The street resurfacing project for Program Year 2020 is illustrated in the Low-Income Area Infrastructure Project Map on the following page. Under this program, a deteriorating Niles Avenue and a deteriorating Hull Street (with Road Biotics ratings of 3.00-4.99 out of 5.00, where 0.00 is best and 5.00 is worst), will be resurfaced in U.S. Census Block Group 8077-1 (a 67.72% low/moderate-income neighborhood). As of April 1, 2019, Skokie is no longer an “exception community”1, as Skokie’s top quartile of Census Block Groups exceeds the minimum threshold of 51% to fund public infrastructure improvement projects. In addition to the low/mod-income eligibility ranking, these streets support Skokie’s Complete Streets policy by providing improved street conditions on official Skokie bike routes. This travel option provides opportunities for access to employment and daily necessities. Additionally, the Limited Clientele Projects Map on the page that follows the infrastructure map, identifies the general locations of public facility improvements that will benefit a limited clientele. The projects will benefit to a specific group of beneficiaries rather than to all residents of a particular neighborhood or area.
