-Don Bixby informed the board that due to the last census the Villages MHI i(median household income) is too high to qualify for a IEPA loan. He informed the board of more options to receive funding for a 2nd well.
1. CDBG Loan - can get up to $500,000, must be a health/safety risk, must be shovel ready to apply. This loan is for construction only, will not reimburse for design/engineering costs.
2. NCICG - wants list of capital projects that the Village would like to achieve. Bixby will put together a list and email to NCICG by Friday. This list is for monies that could possibly be made available from a program that the Governor will release.
After discussion of these options, Trone made a motion to enter into a contract with Chamlins to design and apply for permits for the 2nd well project to have it shovel ready. Chambers seconded, motion carried. Approximate cost for this work will be $20,000. Funds will be transferred from general fund to water fund to pay for design/permit process.
List for NCICG will include: well, water lines, electronic water meters, aerator
