Unfinished Business.
A. 2017-2018 Community Development Block Grant Hearing #3 Planner/CDBG Administrator Carrie J. Haberstich presented the CDBG Public Hearing #3. The Village's entitlement grant for Program Year 2017-18 remains unknown, so the estimate of $500,000 continues to be assumed at this point based on a slight reduction from Program Year 2016-17 entitlement funding. In addition to the new entitlement, $36,268 in unobligated funds and $2,378 in program income is recommended to be applied to the Program Year 2017-18 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 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 2017-18. The total estimated budget is $538,646.
