Pub.lic Hearing <br />'38 3/16/87 <br />Page 2 <br />determined that they wi11 change theix request to heating and air conditioning. <br />Mr. Kelley said that Council may now hold discussion regarding the 13th year <br />funds. He explained that they are not limited; they can request 100 things <br />but they only have about a week to submit their proposal. <br />Miss Jerome said regarding the 13th year funds, Mayor Carmen was considering <br />that following: Making a new entrance to the community room because the <br />platform and steps make it difficult to open the door, purchasing new <br />furniture for inside the community room. The room currently has folding tables <br />and metal folding chairs. They are very cumbersome to be working with and <br />uncomfortable. He wants to get new chairs which are cushioned on the back <br />and on the seat and stackable and new tables. He.is also hoping to start the <br />park which is adjacent to us and put'in some tables and benches. This way, <br />the seniors would be able to:go right from the community room to the park <br />rather than going to the Service Building'to the picnic area by the pavilion. <br />Mra Etzler asked why the parking lot was not eligible for funds. <br />Mr. Kelley said the parking lot was not approved by the Federal Government <br />because it was not adjacent to the community room. <br />Mr. Goley asked about the criteria that is used to determine the priority <br />and the competitive status of the Village's request. <br />Mr. Kelley said there_are three requirements a municipality may meet to be <br />eligible to receive funds:. 1) Low-mod area, 2) Slum & Blight, 3) Urgent <br />need that has happened in the last 18 months. The only exceptions to these <br />requirements are seniors and handicapped. <br />Mr. Go1ey said he.thinks the money was requested for a senior citizen parking <br />lot. <br />Miss Jerome expl.ained that it was not noted in the minutes that it was for <br />the senior center parking lot. The item the funds will be used for must be <br />specifically stated. <br />Yr. Kelley reminded Council that they are talking about two different years. <br />He said that the llth year monies have'been allocated ($10,000.) The Village <br />is eligible for anything above $10,000 to $200,000 if they win the competition <br />for the 13th year funds. <br />Mr. Etzler, seconded by Mr. Goley, made.a motion to show Council's approval <br />of the following items regarding the 13th year funding: <br />Changing the entranceway to the community room to accommodate <br />senior citizens, <br />the addition of some furniture and blinds to the inside of the room, <br />and the benches for the grass area adjacent to the community room <br />which would be easily accessible to the room. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All ' <br />NAYS: None .
