The home was to be moved to another lot and rehabilitated for sale. The lot at 637 Wing Street was to serve as additional parking and open space for the adjacent public housing units. The acquisition was completed in August of 1975 and the residents were relocated the following month. A number of methods for disposal of the structure were considered, including donation to a local Realtor' s Pride program. When the Realtors rejected this option, an attempt was made to sell the structure through a public closed bid procedure. No bids were received. Consequently, the structure was demolished. Budgeted $23 , 000 Expended $23 , 926 2 . Realtor' s Pride This activity was designed to set aside a grant of $7 , 500 as seed money for a local "Realtor' s Pride" program. The Elgin Board of Realtors was to utilize these funds for the initiation of a housing rehabilitation effort . Successive homes were to be purchased, rehabilitated, and sold on a non-profit basis. The program was dropped as an CDBG activity primarily due to the administrative workload imposed upon a third part grantee by regulatory requirements associated with federal funding. Budgeted $ 7 , 500 Expended $ -0- 3 . Clifford-Owasco The Clifford-Owasco project was to serve dual purpose benefits through the acquisition of 5 .4 acres of riverfront . The acquisition and subsequent park development ( see Clifford-Owasco clearance-second year activities ) would not only preserve irreplaceable river frontage , but would also provide badly needed play space for the children of the immediate area. The project suffered long delays due to a number of resubmittals for matching funds from State Open Space Grants. In September of 1976 , a Bureau of Outdoor Recreation Grant for $57 , 000 was secured. Further delays were encountered due to extensive documentation submittals, including a relocation plan and an archeological survey. This latter documentation was pointless since the project is located on a landfill site. In addition, by the time all documentation was accepted by the State, project residents had relocated themselves. Nonetheless, all properties in the final acquisition design have been purchased. Budgeted $45 ,000 Expended $47 , 855 4 . Lincoln School This project involved the acquisition of the Lincoln School and the two substandard multi-family dwellings directly southeast of the school site. The school building was to have been evaluated by architects to determine the feasibility of its use as a community center. The adjacent homes were to be demolished and that site developed as a park. The success of this project was contingent upon receipt of 50% matching funds from a State Open Space grant application. Unfortunately, this State grant did not materialize and funds had to be redistributed. Due to market potentials, all funds for this project were diverted into the purchase of the two adjacent structures, 316 and 322 St . Charles Street . Acquisition was accomplished in September of 1975 and residents were relocated by early December of that year. The substandard dwellings were demolished in May of 1976 .

This Act took what is known as "categorical" or single purpose grants and combined them into a "block" grant . Some of the previous single purpose grants combined were Urban Renewal, Comprehensive Planning Grants, Title I Housing Grants and a variety of other types of grants. By combining these single purpose grants into a block, a flexible and integrated grant funding program was created. In addition to creating a block of grants, the Act established two categories of eligible recipients: "Entitlement communities" and "small cities" . Entitlement communities were defined as communities with 50 ,000 or more residents. These communities received an automatic CDBG fund allocation. The amount of the automatic fund allocation was based upon factors such as poverty, overcrowded housing, age of housing, population and growth (or lack of growth) in a community. Elgin has been an "entitlement" community since this federal program was created. The overall purpose of the Community Development Block Grant Program is to assist in the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities principally for persons of low and moderate income. The funding for community development activities must qualify as a direct or indirect benefit to low and moderate income persons or as an activity to eliminate slums or blighting influences. Local examples of such activities include neighborhood park improvements and development ( Ryerson Park, Observatory Park, Gifford Park, Grolich Park, Douglas Avenue Park, Barclay Park and, most recently, the Elgin River Trail) , housing programs such as the Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Neighborhood Housing Services Program, public housing modernization ( including most recently the reroofing at Clifford-Owasco and the replacement of 305 windows at the elderly highrise at 120 South State) , public improvement projects such as tree planting, curb and sidewalk replacement and street reconstruction ( the most recent being the $450, 000 in block grant funds for such work in the Central Elgin Neighborhood target area south of Summit Street and north of Kimball and Park Streets ) , economic development activities ( central business district loan program) , property acquisition and rehabilitation ( such as the Elgin Senior Center and the Neighborhood Housing Services office ) and various other improvements. A status report regarding all previously funded CDBG activities is available as well as a separate report on the Elgin Residential Rehabilitation Program Report . s -4 The Community Development Block Grant Program for 1987 is $598, 000. However, there is the potential for additional funding which could increase the amount available to approximately $682 , 000. Additionally, approximately $40,000 has been realized in program income. Therefore, a total of $638,000 to $721 , 000 may be available to fund Community Development Block Grant activities for the 1987-1988 program year. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF HEARING The Community Development Block Grant Program provides for citizen participation in the development of annual programs and for citizen comments on the past performance of the Program. Tonight ' s hearing will provide opportunities to comment on the Community Development Block Grant Program' s performance as well as an opportunity for citizens to submit proposals for funding. City staff will present an overview of the Community Development Block Grant Program, its purpose and available funding. The floor will then be opened for questions and comments. After comments, the members of the City Council will hear presentations from citizens and staff on funding proposals for the 1987-1988 Community Development Block Grant Fund. All funding proposals must be submitted this evening. Proposals may not be submitted after tonight , however, additional information on a proposal may be submitted after this hearing and prior to the scheduled April 9th City Council worksession. 1987-88 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM PROJECTS FUNDED Neighborhood Housing Services $ 65 ,000 Neighborhood/Headstart Center 100, 000 Well Child Conference Rehabilitation 30 , 000 NSA Street Reconstruction 370, 000 NSA Curb, Gutter & Sidewalk Reconstruction 80,000 NSA Tree Plantings 9 ,000 Residential Rehabilitation Program ( 1 ) 120,000 Elgin Public Museum Rehabilitation 17 , 500 Elgin Housing Authority - Windows 90 ,000 Elgin Housing Authority - Roofs 26 , 000 Landmark Apartments - Public Improvements 14 , 000 Planning and Management 80 , 000 Administration 40 ,000 Contingency 71,010 ( 1 ) City Council recently approved allocating an additional $40 , 000 from the contingency fund to carry the program through to June.

HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT GENERAL PROGRAM SUMMARY The primary goal of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is the development of viable urban communities through the provision of decent housing with a suitable living environment and the expansion of economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Consistent with this primary goal, not less than 51 percent of CDBG funds shall be used for activities that benefit persons of low and moderate income. The community objectives developed for achieving the primary goal of the CDBG program are: a. ) elimination and prevention of slums and blighting influences on the community; b. ) elimination of conditions detrimental to health, safety, and welfare; c. ) conservation and expansion of housing for all persons, but especially low and moderate income persons; d. ) expansion and improvement of community services, principally for low and moderate income persons; e. ) rational utilization of land and natural resources and an improved arrangement of land uses; f. ) promotion of neighborhood revitalization, diversity, and vitality while actively discouraging isolation of persons by income; g. ) promotion of restoration and preservation of significant properties; and, h. ) stimulation of private investment and community revitalization through an improved local economy. In order to meet the portion of the primary goal of benefiting low and moderate income persons, each grant program must demonstrate that at least 51 percent of its CDBG funds are expended on projects benefiting low and moderate income persons. Area wide projects will be considered to benefit low and moderate income persons only if the following criteria are met : a. ) the project must be carried out in a neighborhood consisting predominantly of persons of low and moderate income; or b. ) the project must involve facilities designed for use predominantly by persons of low and moderate income; or c. ) the project must involve the employment of persons, a majority of whom are persons of low and moderate income. For cities containing 50,000 or more persons, Community Development Block Grant funds are distributed through "automatic entitlement" based on a statistical formula of local need criteria. Simply, this means that the federal government has made an estimate of relative need for Community Development Block Grant funds and has assigned each eligible community "shares" . While a community can reject the offer of federal assistance by failing to file an application to claim its entitlement , such monies have already been set aside for their use. Nationwide, aproximately 1, 100 local political jurisdictions are eligible for CDBG entitlement funds. The funds are allocated annually and may be spent in a variety of ways as determined by local priorities. Eligible activites for CDBG funding include any number or combination of the following: a. ) acquisition, in whole or in part , by purchase, lease, donation, or otherwise, of real property for any public purpose. b. ) acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or installation of public facilities. c. ) interim assistance to alleviate harmful conditions where immediate public action is determined by the applicant to be necessary. d. ) clearance, demolition, and removal of buildings and improvements. e. ) special projects directed to the removal of material and architectural barriers which restrict the mobility and the accessibility of elderly and handicapped persons. f. ) payments to housing owners for losses of rental income incurred in holding housing units for temporary periods to be utilized for the relocation of individuals and families displaced by program activities. g. ) disposition, through sale, lease, donation, or otherwise, of any real property acquired. h. ) provisions of public services which are directed toward improving the community' s public services and facilities. A public service must either be a new service or a quantifiable increase in the level of service that has been provided by or in the behalf of a unit of general local government . i. ) payment of the non-federal share required in connection with a federal grant-in-aid program undertaken as part of the community development program. j . ) payment of the cost of completing an Urban Renewal project funded under Title 1 of the Housing Act of 1949 . k. ) relocation payments and assistance for individuals, families, businesses, organizations and farm operations displaced by assisted activities. 1. ) rehabilitation activities, including: rehabilitation of public residential structures , public housing modernization, rehabilitation of private properties through acquisition and/or the provision of financing or materials, temporary relocation assistance, code enforcement , historic preservation and renovation of closed school buildings. m. ) economic development activities, if determined that such activities are necessary to carry out an economic development project . Activities include: acquisition of real property for economic development ; acquisition, construction or reconstruction of commercial and industrial facilities; provision of assistance to private, for-profit businesses. n. ) activities by private, non-profit neighborhood and local development entities necessary to implement strategies for economic development or neighborhood revitalization. o. ) activities necessary to develop a comprehensive community development plan, functional plans and other plans and studies, including improved management capacity. p. ) payment of reasonable administrative costs and carrying charges related to the planning and execution of community development and housing activities. Although it obviously represents a flexible program, the appli- cation for funds under the Housing and Community Development Act does have certain requirements. Among the requirements is the submission of a housing assistance plan, adherence to various procedural policies and compliance with various federal acts and programs.

Upon acquisition, the substandard two unit structure on the lot was demolished (architectural details were salvaged by the Gifford Park Association for reuse in neighborhood rehabilitations) . The existing lot is approximately 40 feet by 78 feet and has limited development potential ( total square feet equals 3 , 120) . The property owner to the south has indicated interest in the property as well as a real estate agent . Proceeds from the sale of this property would be considered Program Income for the Community Development Block Grant Program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Costs associated with the sale of this property would be covered by the Community Development Block Grant Program. Proceeds from the sale would be returned to the CDBG Program for future projects. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to proceed with the sale of this property. A minimum bid amount could be established and a statement of proposed use could be required as part of the bid process. Adjacent property owners will be notified of the sale of this lot and will have an opportunity to bid on the lot . Olt o.4' / `� es J.

BACKGROUND: In 1986 , a total of $120,000 in CDBG funds was allocated to the City's Rebate Program. As of December 31, 1986 , a total of $1 , 773 remained in the Rebate Program fund. Expenditures from June 13 , 1986 through December 31, 1986 break down as follows: Percent of Expenditure Expenditure Rebate Payouts = $106 ,755 90% *(NHS Rebates ) ( 23 ,000 ) ( 19% ) Rebate Administration = 11,472 10% Total Expenditure = $118,227 100% Remaining Balance = $ 1,773 *NOTE: For comparison of NHS related Rebate expenditures in 1985, rebates on NHS loans totaled $3 ,255. In order to continue the Rebate Program through the remainder of the CDBG program year, it is proposed that $40,000 be allocated from the 1986 CDBG contingency fund to the Rebate Program. The $40,000 would fund the Rebate Program through June 13th (the beginning of the 1987 CDBG program year) . FINANCIAL IMPACT: Presently, a total of $71,010 is available in the 1986 CDBG contingency funds. If $40,000 is transferred to the Rebate Program, a total of $31,010 will remain in the contingency fund. The $31 ,010 would represent a contingency amount equal to 12 percent of the outstanding 1986 CDBG projects. IN . CDBG Contingency Fund Use in Support of the Residential Rehabilitation Rebate Program February 4 , 1987 Page 2 of 2 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that members of the City Council consider the allocation of $40,000 in 1986 CDBG contingency funds to the Rebate Program. If approved, staff will publish the required notice of the proposed substantial change in the use of CDBG funds from one activity to another activity. Final City Council action on this proposed change in funding would occur at the February 25th City Council meeting. 1( 2 � s 400Fr J. Cook City Manager JJC:amp April 22 , 1987 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Letter to Editor Regarding Block Grant In a letter to the editor, Robert L . Johnson has presented concerns regarding the use of C.D.B.G. funds in Elgin. Unfortunately, Mr. Johnson has confused Block Grant funds with other federally funded programs ( such as Community Action and Revenue Sharing) which have been seriously curtailed or eliminated. Block Grant funds are specifically targeted to renewal of urban communities. The program restricts the use of funds for operational expenditures and public service activities ( 10 percent ) as well as for planning, management and administration ( 20 percent ) . These restrictions emphasize the fact that Block Grant funds are intended to be a more "hardware" program, i.e. public facilities and improvements, capital improvements, housing rehabilitation, acquisition, clearance, etc. The Elgin City Council in 1986 challenged C.E.N.C. to demonstrate that it could generate a program activity to provide services to the area and set aside funds to lease a facility( ies ) for C .E.N.C. and for Head Start . The language needed to be modified to include remodel and create handicapped accessibility, and this is proposed in 1987 . The monies for housing rehabilitation, street and utility reconstruction are all for the targeted areas and individuals which meet low and moderate income guidelines. These programs are precisely what is anticipated in the C.D.B.G. guidelines and previous programs ( Summit Street in 1985 and C .E.N.C . streets in 1986 ) have been reviewed and approved by H.U.D. These improvements to housing, streets, walks, utilities and parks are what is targeted to provide adequate housing in an acceptasble environment . Programs aimed at health, youth education, crime reduction, etc. are very laudable but are not the primary focus of Block Grant funding. The City can support programs that target low/moderate clients with assistance for facilities , and we have ( the Crisis Center, Well Child Clinic, Head Start and C .E.N.C. ) . We can also assist in comunity renewal through capital projects aimed at strengthening commercial areas which serve low/moderate neighborhoods. Letter to Editor Regarding Block Grant April 22 , 1987 Page 2 of 2 I can understand the confusion of the C.E.N.C . , but , as I explained to Mr. Johnson on Friday, we can accommodate his objectives through use of appropriate techniques, provided his organization can interest sufficient participation to pay operating expenses. Therefore, Council encouraged C.E.N.C. to lease/purchase the facility and demonstrate the participation and support to justify exercise of the purchase option in succeeding years. es J . Co. City Manager JJC :amp April 6, 1987 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant Worksession PURPOSE: The purpose of the City Council Worksession is to review and discuss proposals submitted for the 1987-1988 CDBG Program. BACKGROUND : The City of Elgin has been notified that its 1987-1988 CDBG allocation has been increased to $685, 000. The purpose of the City Council worksession is to review the CDBG proposals received for the 1987-1988 CDBG Program and to review the budget for the CDBG program for potential rebudgeting of previously funded projects . The City Council may accept all or none of the proposals submitted for CDBG funding, may alter or combine proposals and may add projects . The only limitation is that projects must be eligible for the CDBG program per federal regulations . This year members may note that individual contingency amounts have been added to each project. This is a result of regulatory change disallowing a separate contingency fund. Also, each year a 20% cap is in effect for administrative and planning and management funds. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The CDBG allocation will add $685,000 to funds received by the City of Elgin. RECOMMENDATIONS : Staff recommendations are contained in the individual summary sheets attached.

This allocation reflects a reduction of $375. 2 million of 1987 appropriations proposed for rescission. If the rescission is not approved you can expect an additional amount of approximately 14% of this amount . Final grant amounts will probably not be kpown until March. We encourage you to become familiar with the attached guidance material in order to facilitate the preparation and submission of final statements affected by the proposed rescission. If you have any questions, please contact your Community Planning and Development Representative. I) Sinc= r= 1 X ' Gertrude W. Jordan c-P;),L.-- r _ Regional Administrator - Regional Housing Commissioner Attachment i `.'`. I r . t ' . CC" , 'r. _ Guidance For Preparing FY 1987 CDBG Final Statements From the time the rescission is formally transmitted to it, the Congress has 45 calendar days of continuous session to complete action on the rescission. At the end of th 45 day period, if both the House and the Senate have not completed action on the rescission, the rescinded funds must be made available. Final grant amounts, therefore, will probably not be known until March. Any necessary adjustments to the fund assignments will be made at that time, including the assignment of funds reallocated from 1985 and 1986. In order to avoid the possibility of multiple amendments to final statements, those grantees which submit final statements before March are encouraged to show in their proposed and final statements projected uses of funds at two funding levels. The first level should be the grant amount just assigned. The second level should be the grant amount just assigned plus 14% of that amount. Any additional activities to be carried out at the higher level should be identified by an asterisk or other means, with an explanation provided indicating that the asterisked activities are contingent on the receipt of additional funding. If you have already published your proposed statement reflecting only a grant amount higher than the amount just assigned, please be advised of the following two choices: 1. Publish a revised statement showing the two funding levels, identifying any contingent activities, and including an explanation. Following an opportunity for public comment, submit the final statement to HUD. 2. Alternatively, you may submit the original statement, but HUD will only grant the lesser assigned amount. In this instance, it will most likely be necessary for you to amend your final statement if the rescission is approved by Congress. The necessity for an amendment would be based on the procedural requirements at 24CFR 570.301(b) as modified by paragraph XI on page 12 of the 1985 Grantee Instructions. February 4 , 1987 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: 1987 Community Development Block Grant Hearing Schedule PURPOSE: To set the 1987 CDBG public hearing dates. BACKGROUND: Each year, the City Council establishes the dates for the CDBG public hearings. Attached is a proposed schedule for City Council consideration. The proposed schedule has taken into account the lack of definitive CDBG funding information and the fact that new members of the City Council may desire to act on the 1987 CDBG program as well as required notices and publications. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City has been notified that an estimated $598 , 000 in CDBG funds has been allocated to the City by HUD for 1987 . The potential exists for an additional 14 percent ( $83 , 720 ) CDBG allocation around the end of March. Additionally, an estimated $40 ,000 may be available in program income (primarily from NHS loan payments ) . Therefore, a total of $721 , 720 may be available in 1987 CDBG funding (not including any rebudgeted funds ) . RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council set the public hearing dates for the 1987 CDBG program. /3%ines J.

Therefore, this proposed activity benefits low and moderate income persons by its location. This proposed activity is eligible for funding under public facilities and improvements. Proposed Funding — $355,000 2. Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Reconstruction — This proposed activity is for the reconstruction of severely deteriorated curbs, gutters and sidewalks in the near north neighborhood surrounding Dundee Avenue and in the northern portion of the Elgin Historic District. The neighborhood area is composed of predominately low and moderate income persons. This proposed activity will address the broad national objective of benefiting 1 r low and moderate income persons. This proposed activity is eligible for funding under public facilities and improvements. Proposed Funding — $63,000 3. Tree Planting — This proposed activity is for tree planting on neighborhood streets in the near north neighborhood surrounding Dundee Avenue and in the northern protion of the Elgin Historic District.

This proposed activity is eligible as a special economic development activity. This proposed activity would eliminate blight in a designated blighted area and/or benefit low and moderate income persons through job creation. Proposed Funding — $100,000 6. Historic District "Period" Projects — This proposed activity is for the addition of decorative elements to public property in the Elgin Historic District. Decorative elements proposed include decorative lighting, historically appropriate park benches, decorative street furniture and decorative park furniture. The Elgin Historic District qualifies as a predominately low and moderate income neighborhood. Therefore, this proposed activity benefits low and moderate income persons by its neighborhood service area. This proposed activity would qualify under public facilities and improvements. Proposed Funding — $8,250 • , • 1 7. Acquisition — This proposed activity is for the acquisition of an unspecified substandard structure or structures in a predominately low and moderate income neighborhood. The proposed acquisition may be associated with rehabilitation or demolition depending upon the structure(s) acquired and could involve relocation. Therfore this -- proposed activity may be amended to provide for rehabilitation, relocation and/or demolition dependent upon the structure(s) selected for acquisition. This proposed activity would benefit low and moderated income persons by location and may qualify as the elimination of a blighting influence depending upon location and condition. Proposed Funding — $50,000 8. Planning and Management — This proposed activity is directed toward short and long term planning for both the city as a whole and for the city's neighborhoods. The primary emphasis of this proposed activity would be to continue the development of a comprehensive amendment to the city zoning ordinance . An additional activity is the development of conceptual plans for areas adjacent to the Elgin River Trail Tax Incremental Financing District. This proposed activity is eligible as a planning and policy activity. All funds used for planning are considered to benefit low and moderate income persons in the same proportion as the remainder of the grant. Proposed Funding — $87,500 12. Administration — This proposed activity represents funding for the administration of the above proposed activities. Additionally, sufficient funding has been proposed to be allocated for administrative costs for a potential Rental Rehabilitation Program. This proposed activity is eligible as an administrative activity. All funds used for administration are considered to benefit low and moderate income persons in the same proportion as the remainder of the grant. Proposed Funding — $58,000. The City of Elgin will receive an estimated $685,000 in Housing and Community Development Block Grant funds and has received $41,170 in Program Income and proposed to rebudget $164,661 from previous CDBG allocations for a total available funding of $890,831 for the 1987 — 1988 Community Development Block Grant Program. Activities benefiting low and moderate income persons are estimated to equal $597,250 of a total of $745,331 for activities qualifying as low and moderate income benefit or qualifying as eliminating blighting influences. Therefore it is estimated that approximately 80% of the total funding is proposed to be allocated for activities benefitting low and moderate income persons. The City of Elgin, as part of its Housing and Community Development Block Grant Program, has developed a Displacement Plan regarding persons who may be displaces as a result of the above proposed activities. The Displacement Plan is available at the Planning Department located in Elgin City Hall, 150 Dexter Court, Elgin. Y 4 Previously funded activities affected by the rebudgeting of funds are: 1. 1981 Contingency - All activities funded have been completed and $1,989 remains in the 1981 CDBG budget. Proposed Rebudget - $1,989 2. 1983 Contingency - Excess contingency funds from the 1983 CDBG Program in the amount of $2,672 have been proposed for rebudgeting.

Borden Square - This activity proposed in 1984 qualified as a public improvement activity for improvements to deteriorated curbs, gutters and sidewalks, potential street reconstruction, and improvements to a proposed public plaza. The funding remaining in this activity is $100,000. The location of this previously proposed activity is 200 Brook Street. Proposed Rebudget - $100,000 4. 1985 Contingency - The 1985 contingency was funded in the amount of $71,000. It is proposed to rebudget $60,000 of the original $71,000. Proposed Rebudget - $60,000 Previously funded activity, proposed amendment: 1. Neighborhood and Headstart Center - This activity was funded as an acquisition (by lease) of a structure to serve as a Neighborhood Center for the neighborhood surrounding Dundee Avenue and to serve as a local Headstart Program Center. The previously approved funding totalled $100,000. Proposed Amendment - It is proposed to amend the previously funded activity to provide funding for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and/or handicap accessibility of a structure(s) to be utilized either jointly or separately as a Headstart Center (first priority) and/or as a Neighborhood Center (second priority). The proposed funding for this amended activity remains at $100,000. The following is a synopsis of the use of Housing and Community Development Block Grant funds expended by activity in during the 1986-1987 CDBG Program year and their relationship to local community development objectives and broad national objectives. 1.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING March 23, 1987 A Special Committee of the Whole Meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. , in the lower level of the Hemmens Building. Members present : Councilmen Andersen, Moylan, Van De Voorde and Waters. Absent : Councilmen Gilliam, Shales and Mayor Verbic. Appointment of Mayor Pro Tem. Councilwoman Moylan made a motion, seconded by Councilman Waters to appoint Councilman Van De Voorde Mayor Pro Tem for tonight 's meeting. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Moylan, Van De Voorde and Waters. Nays: None. Community Development Block Grant Hearing. Jim Cook, City Manager: We hold this meeting for two purposes: ( 1) To receive any comments on the past performance of the program, and ( 2 ) To hear proposals for funding. In the past your policy has been that if a proposal is not submitted at the time of this Public Hearing, it cannot be submitted later. However, if it is submitted, and the Council members or staff have questions, the people can submit additional data and material prior to your worksession, which you have scheduled for the 9th of April, at 7:00 p.m. , at which time you will receive from the staff a number of documents, including a full analysis of available funds, anaysis and copies of each of the proposals in writing and staff recommendations. For the purpose of tonight, we have done a number of things: ( 1) We have advertised, notified interested parties of this Hearing, and of their opportunity, and worked with anyone interested, so they knew what the requirements were in order to submit a proposal, so that it met the guidelines of the Federal Grant . We are required by law to identify that we know at this point that the next year's allocation will be $598,000. It may be as much additional as 14% or $682 ,000, that will be governed by action of the Congress. Since the President has made a move to rescind a portion of the funds which would have been allocated oy formula, and if Congress doesn't take action to uphold that recession, then it will be withdrawn. By the time we get to a final budget approval we should know, but staff's recommendation will be that we establish the programs in priority up to the available $598,000, plus any reallocation of prior funds that become available, and in an established priority for the remaining use up to $682 ,000, so that if those funds come we will not be required to hold a subsequent hearing. 9 I Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 Page 2 We know at this time that approximately $40,000 will be available in program income from our operations this year, so that we do know there will be from $638,000 to $721,000 available for the coming year. Without the consideration of rebudgeting, which of course we will do again this year as we did last year, which is to take all of the years except the current year, 1986-87, which is still underway, and analyze all of the outstanding projects sums and contingency amounts, and provide that information to you so you can determine which projects should continue for next year, and which should be terminated and reprogramed. We have given you some information and on you desk tonight and Agenda that indicates those proposals which were filed in our office prior to tonight and in the order in which they were filed. Those who have not filed with us prior to this time will then have an opportunity at this end of this list to make presentations tonight . You will recall that a number of projects in the Integrated Capital Budget and the 1987 City Budget were programmed to come from Block Grant this year. Those programs will be presented to you along with all of the rest of the projects so that you can, in fact , prioritize the entire program as a result of this program. Without further ado, I think we are ready to move to the proposals. Greater Downtown Elgin Commission Mayor Pro Tem: Is the Chairman,Howard Miller here. (The Council were advised that Mr. Miller was in court in Chicago, and he might be late for this meeting. ) Mayor Pro Tem requested a motion to move this proposal to the end of the presentations. Councilman Waters: So moved. Councilwoman Moylan: Second Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Moylan, Waters and Mayor Pro Tem Van De Voorde. Nays: None. Gifford Park Association Barbara Evans: As we have done in the past the Gifford Park Association is asking for block grant money to help us revitalize Elgin 's Historic District. We have listed some of the things that the relatively minimal fundings we have had in the past has allowed us to do. What I would like to emphasize is what these accomplishments have done for the Historic District . If you just drive around the Historic District , you can see that we are definitely t Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 Page 3 a neighborhood on our way up, and if you look in the Courier News to the ad section you will see any number of properties being advertised, in bold print , Historic District. There is even a demand for Historic District homes. We have middle class families coming from the east , looking around, buying and starting to rehab. All of this has brought us more involvement. Last year our membership of the Gifford Park Association doubled. With this involvement we have had many more ideas, everytime these ideas are completed, everytime they are realized, we get more involvement and it helps. We would thank you for the support you have given us in the past , for the things your funding has allowed us to do. Much remains to be done, we know you will give our proposals to further revitalize the District serious consideration, we thank you for that . Just to put you all in a generous frame of mind, if you would turn to the back of our proposal, there is a list of the goals that the Gifford Park Association set at its 1987 goal setting session in January, and if you look through that you will see that we are doing a lot of things that we are not asking money for. I think you all know that we are not an Association that just sits back and wait for the funding to come in. Our first proposal is for $7,500 to begin what we are calling Historic District Period Projects. We ourselves will raise an additional $2, 500, and will contribute volunteer labor whenever feasible. What we want to accomplish by this funding is to bring back the ambience of an Historic neighborhood. If you drive through our District now, you will note there is really nothing, save old houses, an occasional sign and the little we have been able to accomplish in Gifford Park. There is really very little that singles us out and says we are something special, yet we are. What we want to do with this proposal and the funds we would get here is to add the Period touches that would visually remind the people of this. If you scan the list of things that we have singled out your reaction might be "cute" in sort of a sneering tone of voice. Yet , have any of you recently stood at the south end of Gifford Park at twlight , do. When you stand at the south end of Gifford Park in the twlight , with the old fashioned lights will have gone on and you will see the carriage walk along the curbing that we have started. What that is, is not "cute" , what it adds is a feel of an era gone by. You feel like you are transported back into history. These are the touches we need throughout the District to remind people that we are terribly significant. If we were allowed to finish the carriage walk, we ran out of brick pavers, that would further the touch, and believe T t Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 Page 4 it or not it is very practical today because if you are on the passenger side and step out you don't sink into the dirt , you are on a nice paved walk, a classy one. Also adding a feeling of time gone by would be blocking the electric power service in Gifford Park. We would use part of the funds from this proposal to do victorian plantings around it, such as lilac to screen it . If you were to install Period street signs throughout the District for example, replace worn out park benches equipment with Period pieces. Paint the fire hydrants with victorian colors, the bicentennial has long gone by. Paint the signal poles so they blend in rather than stick out . All of these would create visual reminders that we are a very special Historic area. The gazebo we would like to consider putting in either Gifford Park, or Davidson Park. Councilwoman Moylan: How can you do all that on $7,500. Ms. Evans: We are going to begin, we figure that once we begin and show people what it is we could perhaps go after other funding from corporations and so forth to try and add to this. Those are all examples of things that we would like to do. The priority item would be to finish the carriage walk. The big expensive item would be the gazebo, thats a long time dream and it may continue to be a dream, but a touch here and a touch there helps us begin. Our next proposal is a familiar one, this is the eighth year we are requesting funding for curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs in the Historic District. Past funding has given us these much needed repairs in certain areas of the Historic District. We have prepared a map to designate the areas in the District which remain to be done. About 15% of the District needs to be done , and this is what the map is showing. To have such basics as sidewalks in disrepair in an area that is a Historic District is really distracting. It just doesn't work to remind people that ours is a district that is a significance to the Nation. Therefore we are asking that 20% of the money allocated for the sidewalk program be earmarked so that the Historic District may be completed. In our third proposal we are asking for $10,000 to fund a tree planting program. We are also urging that this be done in conjunction with finishing the sidewalk repairs. The reason is simple, to have the lawns in the District torn up over a period of years again distracts, and it makes the Historic District that is of National significance look rather dumpy. Mayor Pro Tem Van De Voorde: You are aware of our matching funds on sidewalks and trees, and I suppose you have taken advantage of that to some degree. • _ I • P Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 Page 5 Ms. Evans: We have. Councilman Waters: Is the tree planting program in addition to what the City has already budgeted for this year. Ms. Evans: Yes, in addition. Jim Cook: They are asking for total City Cost , no participation. Ms. Evans: Our fourth proposal is an apartment inspection program, and we are asking for $40, 000 for this. We have evaluated just how well we have succeeded in upgrading the housing stock in the neighborhood, and it was evident that most of our improvements have been made by single families. Our success in encouraging investors, landlords, to maintain and upgrade their property was really minimal, we voted unanimously to take some measure to 'pressure negligent investors throughout the City, to either improve or move out of Elgin. We are proposing that the City develop a systematic code inspection program for all apartment buildings of three or more units. We would like this to be periodic, say every two to four years. In this way illegal conversions where you end up having ten people in a home that should only hold two, those can quickly be spotted. Unsafe and unsound sanitary conditions can hopefully be addressed and eliminated. Granted we do have a building code in place, however, it works only on an individual complaint basis, and I think that if you stop to consider this City has less than a 2% vacancy rate for apartments , you would understand why most tenants are reluctant to file a complaint against their landlord. The $40,000 is requested to fund two inspectors that would be needed to carry out this program. Mayor Pro Tem Van De Voorde: I would like to say that in this year' s budget we have added additional inspectors. Jim Cook: On the code enforcement complaints more than 50% of them are generated by the inspectors. Ms. Evans: This is not just a proposal for additional inspectors, it is for a systematic code inspection, say every two to four years, in apartment buildings of three or more units. With a fee charged for the inspection. Jim Cook: Part of what you are proposing is not legally possible. To walk into someone' s house without a complaint , or other cause, and without a warrant , or without invitation is impossible. You can have all the rules you want , but if you don't have probable cause to get in with a court order, you cannot trespass on private property. I Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 ir Page 6 Ms. Evans: We would like to voice our support of other proposals that will be presented tonight and those proposals are the Rebate Program, the Conceptal Drawing for the Michigan Avenue Armory Area, the Riverfront Acquisition on Lower Wellington. Lower Wellington is a blighted area in need of open space. Planning Department Roger Dahlstrom: I believe the first proposal that you have from us tonight is the one for the Residential Rehabilitation Program, which has already been mentioned by the Gifford Park Association. You have a detailed report on this particular item so I won't bore you with statistics that you already have, I would remind you that the Program has been in existence for about ten years, and over that ten years we have averaged somewhere between 45 and 60 rehabilitations per year, about 500'dwelling units throughout the City. The program is available on a City-wide basis, on the basis of need, low and moderate income homeowners can participate. There is a specific target area in which the Rebate Program will assist all homeowners, owner occupants as well as absentee owners. Basically how it is structured is the lower the income, the higher the family size, the greater the benefits. The Residential Rehabilitation Program is an integral component of the Neighborhood Strategy Area program, additionally it was and continues to be an element of the City's Enterprise Zone program. We believe that because of the increased demand in the Program that we should raise the amount budgeted from $100,000 to $125,000. The funding level that we are suggesting, the $125,000 for 1987, is consistent with the Integrated Capital Budget adopted by the City in 1986 , and the Program was highly recommended by both the Community Renewal and the Steering Committees. The second proposal that we are putting forth tonight is for Planning and Management funds. The City has budgeted Planning and Management funds out of the Block Grant Programs since 1978. It has been used for a variety of purposes. Some of the projects which have been undertaken, both in terms of design and implementation, include the Comprehensive Plan, the. Central Business District Plan, the South Grove Tax Increment Plan, Summit/Dundee Tax Increment Plan, Dundee Avenue Business District Plan, and the Integrated Capital Budget Process. All of these elements are charged by the City to Planning and Management ' s portion of Community Block Grant Program. We are proposing tonight that a continuation of this Program be funded at an $80,000 level. That amount of Block Grant funding for this type of activity is consistent with the City's . I Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 Page 7 adopted Budget and is included as a component in the Planning Department Budget . The major thrust of this year's Planning and Management effort , and particulary the Block Grant request portion of it, is the Comprehensive Amendment to the City' s Zoning Ordinance. I know most of you are familiar with it, we have outlined some of the information for that Program in your package tonight so I will not go into great detail about it , other than to point out that we are in this instance using outside consultants because of the magnitude and character of this particular project. I would remind you that we have a contract with the consulting firm, the efforts we have contracted for are fundable from the Block Grant Program. The Open Door Clinic Hugh Epping, Executive Director: The proposal we are making is a proposal for services. We are going to be faced with a growing problem in our community, and that problem is the AIDS epidemic. Currently in Kane County we have 12 people, since 1980, that have been diagnosed with AIDS. It is a problem that will grow, and there is a growing concern for support C services, these are services that range from funeral services and legal services to companionship. I realize that the past use of these funds has been for capital improvements, but this is something I think we will have to face as a community. What we are looking for is some seed money so that we can start formalize the service. We ask the Council to consider supporting this new program with a start up allocation of $20,000. The money would be used to hire a coordinator of services to do training of volunteers, to provide education, to be a liaison with health care providers, to assess needs of patients and family and to be an advocate for one who is now faced with the incapacity to act for themselves. Public Works Department Mel Dahl: Since 1981, the Block Grant Program has funded curb, gutter and sidewalk reconstruction in low and moderate income neighborhoods. This proposal recommends the continuation of the curb, gutter and sidewalk reconstruction with the work to be concentrated in the Neighborhood Strategy Area surrounding the southern portion of Dundee Avenue. A total cost of $174 ,735 is the estimate to accomplish the curb, gutter and sidewalk reconstruction in the NSA. This proposal recommends allocating approximately $52,000 for curb, gutter and sidewalk reconstruction in the NSA. A $52,000 allocation will accomplish about 30% of the total reconstruction work needed in this neighborhood. This item was included as part of the Integrated Capital Budget. ' I Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 Page 8 (7 This proposal requests that $300,000 be allocated from Block Grant Funds for street reconstruction in the Neighborhood Strategy Area. Approximately 16 miles of streets would be improved. Nine miles in the west area and seven miles in the NSA. The estimated cost for the street improvement program is almost 2.235 million dollars. City Manager's Office Pat Andrews: This proposal deals with funding a public incentive development fund for the downtown area. It is based upon the identification of potential need for larger redevelopment activities in the downtown area. It was proposed in the Integrated Capital Budget that this would probably be a land acquisition process, or assembly because land is non-depreciable, its and upfront cost for a developer. Acquisition is one of the few things that are done with Block Grant money where you can turn around and either sell the property, or write down the land cost value and not impact the rest of the project with other federal regulations. During some discussions last year with rebudgeting, one of the issues raised with the Borden Square Project, that was t project specific elevation, and it was identified that the potential need for more flexible development funding for the downtown area may be desirable, and it was to that end that this project was proposed, and it is proposed for a funding level of $100,000. Greater Downtown Elgin Commission Mark Herzog: The Greater Downtown Elgin Commission has in the past been sort of responsible for pushing the residential option on the South Grove project . I believe in 1984 they requested conceptual drawings be done for residential options to give a general idea of what could be done, which eventually sprung into the residential options that we are seeing now in talking to developers. In order to implement the downtown plan the Greater Downtown Elgin Commission is requesting that conceptual drawings be funded. Last time we requested $5,000, and actually spent $2,500. Several architects drew conceptual concepts as to what could be done on South Grove. In that case they were dealing with vacant property, as the only viable option. In this case we see the Michigan Armory area as a range of options from clearing, demolition, and new construction, and options as to what that construction could be, anywhere from mid- ( rise structure down to townhouses that would be set into the m Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 Page 9 hill and blend with the Historic District , to possibly commercial, or weeding out of substandard structures and rehab. There could be any number of ranges. In order to address this and begin discussions as to where that section of the South Grove project should go, we are requesting funding of $5,000 for conceptual drawings. It is important that the Commission stay on the leading edge of the impletation. The second proposal is to continue the redevelopment of the riverfront . This is specifically the Lower Wellington area. The hope is to combine this with the $30,000in the Integrated Capital Budget you would be able to leverage $180,000 and get some grant money from Kane County, the State, or the Federal government. Anti Gang Program Willie Spates: Just recently we have been hearing a lot about the gang problem that we have here, as a 20 year resident of Elgin, and as a member of the black community, I believe it is time that something is done about this. ef When we talk about juvenile delinquency, we are in effect talking about the condition of the home. A major stabilizing factor in many communities is the church. I believe the churches li and its resources can make a beneficial impact upon the Elgin gang problem. Elgin alone has ten black churches, and may of these men, such as Reverend Andrew Johnson and Reverend Leonard Spates, are excellent role models. We are asking for funding for this program which will provide one on one role modeling, counseling and workshops. We will get the Elgin black ministers to talk with the young black men. Particularly those who are in gangs, we have to talk to them on a one on one level. A lot of these youths are unemployed and from poverity backgrounds , or they do not have a male figure in the home. What we will do is sit down with the ministers and let them talk out their problems, and see what they would like to accomplish. As an former State correction officer, trained at the State of Illinois academy, I believe that one think we can do is give the gang youth visits to the State correctional facilities, we hope to let them see the reality of their folly. As aforementioned the Church does have a responsibility to these youth to give them all of the support and guidance that it can. These programs will be administered with the strictest • Committee of the Whole Meeting • March 23, 1987 Page 10 (7 care and compassion. It will not be easy but in our city we possess the wisdom resource and experience to make more than just a marginal impact on this growing problem. In conclusion, lets not hire more police or build more jails, but lets utilize our own innate resources to alleviate a problem we can all do without . While salaries are being proposed we believe they are insignificant compared to the task that we are endeavoring to accomplish. We are seeking $37 ,250 seed money to start this agency. Two Rivers Head Start Jane Johnson, Director: We recently were reorganized, we were formerly called Plus, Inc. , now we are Two Rivers Headstart. Our Board of Directors would like to request retention of the 1986 Community Development Block Grant Funds of $100,000. The funds would be for rehabilitation and renovations instead of facility acquisition. I have had a meeting with Dr. Wigall and he has indicated to our agency that we will be losing our space where we are • / operating now, which is at the old elgin high school. At this [ point the only facility that even looks like it is feasible is Columbia School. We would need this money for handicap accessibility, update on fire coded, upgrade the parking lot to comply with city codes. We have until September 1st , which is the beginning of our new program year to find a new facility, and right now it is a rush process. We are anxious to provide what we feel is a most vital community service for people of low income. Our clients and most of our staff are moderate to low income, and a number of our people are minority people too. Central Elgin Neighborhood Council • Robert Johnson: One of the goals of the Elgin Central Neighborhood Council is to establish a neighborhood community center, and we have been discussing this for one year. The building is to function as an operations and referral center for various economic development programs, educational, social and cultural activities that will benefit the Neighborhood Strategy Area. It is the feeling of the membership that a localized, concentrated ` effort in the neighborhood promotes a positive attitude. With c the help of the City of Elgin and the Neighborhood Housing • • Committee of the Whole Meeting March 23, 1987 Page 11 Jr Services we can create a neighborhood which all central Elgin residents will be proud to live in. We respectfully request that the Elgin City Council fund the following projects and activities from the 1987 Community Development Block Grant Funds: * . Acquisition by purchase and rehab of -a. structure for Central Elgin Neighborhood Council as a neighborhood'community center $135, 000; One time only award for organization and development $12,500; Continuation of the residential rebate program $125,000. Continental Little League John Berner: We serve over 500 boys and girls on the Elgin westside, ages 7 to 18, serving baseball and softball. During the past four years we have been trying to move out of Grolich Park. We have a new location by the Illinois Driver's License Department , in which we have built two fields and a refreshment stand. The purpose of the project is to enable Continental Little League to move from Grolich Park to the new park and to return Grolich Park to the City. We have been getting notices from the City . We had a program that was submitted last year of $125,000, we feel we could put in the four fields and move from Grolich Park for $25 , 000, then we could build up from there with our programs. We would appreciate your help. Mayor Pro Tem Van De Voorde: I would just like to announce that the next meeting on this subject will April 9th at 7:00 p.m. We will notify all applicants. Adjournment Councilwoman Moylan made a motion, seconded by Councilman Andersen to adjourn the meeting. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Moylan, Waters and Mayor Pro Tem Van De Voorde. Nays: None.
