project known as Ogden. Commons
Good afternoon, Sherman. Urban members of the budget
committee for the record. My name is Robert bumpers
financial planning analyst for the Department of Planning.
And Development. I'm here today to request your approval to
amend the Redevelopment agreement between the city of
Chicago and Ogden, Washtenaw jvllc for the purpose of
authorizing 2.4 million dollars in NOS funding to be used
for the development of the Ogden Commons project. The
project was a
Ruth b.
Rude by City Council in April 2019 but shortly after
approval, the developer faced delays due to issues with
tenants construction, Crews and building material,
availability due to covid-19. Despite all these challenges,
the developer was able to persevere and complete the
project. The amended rtaa will provide the developer more
time to ensure. All tenants are open and operating by
amending the completion and certificate deadlines.
So,
The subject property is located at 2630 to 2646 West Ogden
Avenue within the north Lawndale community area and the
28th Ward German Urban supports projects.
It's like shows a neighborhood context of the subject
property. The property is on West Ogden Avenue between
Tallman and Washtenaw Avenue.
The Builder.
The building is completed and is celebrated the opening of
the Mount Sinai. One Lawndale Community Care & Surgical
Center as well as a wintrust bank branch momentum coffee
shop and the soon-to-be-opened LA catedral restaurants and
funding was used to develop the first-floor retail spaces.
The fifty-two thousand square foot joint venture between the
habitat company in Mount Sinai represents phase one of a
multi-phase Redevelopment project designed to bring
Economic Development medical services and housing to the
north Lawndale community.
Twin.
21.7 million dollar project is funded by a combination of
equity debt City incentive and opportunities own funds. The
nof grant represent 11.1% of the projects sources funds for
the project will be dispersed upon issuance of the
certificate of completion for the protections. For the city
include ongoing operation and occupancy covenants as well
as a flip restriction. The developer has already here to
and surpass construction compliance requirements with m b,
e w, b e percentages at 35.33% and 11.46% versus the 26 and
6% require.
The.
The amendment to the RTA, will revise critical completion
certificate. Deadlines to find nerta. The amendment will
also have a slight reduction in nof funds by $87,000 to
account for final construction, budget, and allow for a
broader range of users within the completed project.
Department support.
Sorry, I didn't catch that. You said, it'll be redo the nff
ons would be up. Have a modest reduction reduction. It's A
New Concept so you send the money back to me. 80s movies
the 87,000 87,000. Yes sir, yes, sir. So that it's making a
total of how much now it's going was originally a 2.5
million dollar Grant. I'm rounding it's going to be roughly
a two-point or $9 Grant now.
In.
And I have some more questions later.
The depart.
The department supports the project has its its benefits
include substantial Cadillac economic impacts in North
Lawndale as well as creating jobs and returning land that
has sat vacant for over 10 years to productive. Use this
property used to be the Ogden courts public housing
community. I'd like to thank the committee for your
favorite consideration as a quest. I'm also joined by Jeff
head of the cabinet company and we are happy to answer any
questions you might have at this time.
I think Miss Barbara. Thank you, mr. Chairman and
congratulations on his project. I know it's been going on
for a while. So is any any of these? So is this all
commercial, is it residential to this? Like I said this is
Phase 1 and phase. One has retail on the bottom floor and
then on the top two floors busy Mount Sinai Surgical
Center, okay? So it's all commercial. So so from what I'm
saying you're the financial planner for the Department of
planning but anyway that's that's good. So so this is 2.5
million or 2.4 million dollars of NFS funds in a way of
fun. Can you tell us how much in nol funds? Do we have
total?
I'd
I don't have that figure with me all the time, but I can
most certainly make sure it gets to you. So can you get
that to us through the chamber? Please is this the largest?
Is.
Is this the largest amount of nof funds that we have you so
far on on one property, I believe that may be true at 2.4
million. We've had other rental of large that have gone out
at 1 million and I believe, 1.5 this is probably the
largest Antelope grant that has been approved.
It was.
It was approved. Back in Twin,
It was approved back in 2019.
And like I said it represents only roughly 11% of the whole
total project cost at 21.7 million, okay? Princess thank
you. I'd like to see what the total funds are. Thank you,
and also to answer your question. This is Phase 1, the
house and is currently under construction right now about
maybe 150 ft to the north of this particular building.
There's a five-storey residential building going up. Also
on the same site of the, former Ogden court, or Housing
Development and that would be partial cha2, or no, you know

Thank.
Thank you, before we continue want to recognize Alderman,
60, Lopez and the alderman. Ramirez-rosa the attitude
attendants are for the record. I want the stand at ease
until we get those copies back. So everyone has those
before. We actually, you know what?
While we wait.
While we wait we gave everyone a tentative schedule for the
budget hearings so that you guys can shut your schedules.
Accordingly, we're going to on Tuesday the 1st Tuesday.
When I try to do it the joint hearing we've got some
back-and-forth fear and to see if we can do a joint hearing
with some departments that have some interconnectivity us
on Tuesday will be doing. Join here is between the
Inspector General Copa Board of actress in the police
board. And also the second portion of that would be would
be a CPL license appeal. Just want to try and see how if
that's something that we can do in the future but not
necessarily throw throw the whole thing out of kilter for
it. So, other than that, pretty much same things. We have
reserved Monday, and Tuesday, the 30th. And the 31st is,
we're talkin about some other cross-departmental actions.
Still working on that, but we have those two days set aside
and reserve a four photos of specific area.
Any anybody in question?
August.
All the start time, requested has been 10 a.m. daily, give
people an opportunity to get down and take care of any
business in the, in the morning. So starting at 10 is our
day. May go a little longer than anticipated. So, you know,
that was the request that we still. Okay. With 10, if you
want to do 9.
Should have put that in the survey. I thought we were
pretty good on.
Even while we were waiting for the printer. Can I ask you a
question related to the original version of had an item not
in the socialist? Wait till everybody has the pieces?
So until 9:30 to get it, that's the point and that's what
we were trying to avoid the way to 10. Start so well the
challenges that we got some some members coming from all
different parts so that I can get here at 8 cuz I'm close
enough to get here whenever but some of us are coming from
you no gain. This is a large city and we talked to Barb
rush hour traffic is trying to get people and and other
stuff. So
If?
If we, if we want to do.
If we, if we want to do 9 at the request was for 10, for
some of our members, that have some challenges getting in
by 9 due to the distance that they have to come so and
still it's still worth to take care of other, you no other
items so if there's, if there's no real objection will do
it with the 10-time time frame.
Well.
Well, again, if you can get here at 9, you can get here at
10.
Ottoman.
I Stay.
I stayed.
As I stated that, I mean, that was the ass. I know it was
me to wish that we started ten, we may be here a little, a
little later than normal. But again, I mean, the object is
to get you, no. Get what we need to get done with children
and stuff like that. People help on the back end as well.
It's not about you and I think it's more, it was more about
those those members who live further away from City Hall,
then some of the some of the rest was due. So that started
with started 10 versus nine, that was that was a concern.
And again,
Premier.
Premier does it is not a maze.
You know.
Hold on.
Is that, that was mature 3945 anyway because it was always
a challenge to get a quorum. So it's great that that's just
a matter of fact. So,
so, that's
So that's why it again we were trying to get everybody
here. So we can start at on time and not have people
sitting around here, waiting to start in the 10 start.
So, okay. Alright, so we will work with the 10 time frame
again, staff will be sending out from what we looked at, on
the survey.
Everybody was think 75% of the members wanted to have lunch
and some way shape or form. So we will be putting the goose
back together or in groups of five for the 10 days. If we
go today 11 and 12, Greg Mitchell, and Alderman Burnett's
are going to pay for lunch on those two days. If we go to
the day 11 and 12. So we'll put that together and send it
the song. Yeah, I know. It's on the record. That's why I
said it so that you can pay for it with you on that one.
Refuse.
Refusal.
Refusal, none. The less we will will be a staff, will be
sending it out to our respective. It will assign one
individual, the most senior individual, the group to, to
organize the effort for their respective group, that they
are in any other questions on that.
Those are the only issues outside of that. We did everyone.
We have 42 members are complete the survey, so appreciate
everyone that did ask you complete the survey. I'm going to
send out the results this afternoon or so that you all will
see what your colleagues thought and questions and
everything this about 120 page document. So I'm not going
to print it out for everyone but I will send it to you
electronically that you can review and see what, you know,
what's on everybody else's mind. We did kind of delineate
out at some of the top items you need to do the apartments
that were requested and I we will be sending this
information to the apartment directly. So when they come to
us, these are the things that we need to be hearing from
them in, that respect, along with the questions, for each
department, that everyone has raised as well. So I want it
back to your staff from Bob from coal, for for helping
organize, that effort and do we appreciate their help in
getting its getting this done. And they will also be
working through with us on
Be here.
Be here in Aspen.
The human aspect is well and be provided documents for us on
a fairly ongoing basis or four for the hearings and then
going forward. So I will send that out this afternoon. If
you have any questions, please let us know about that as
well. So any questions people come late?
We?
Restart said we started hearing at 9 come late. You should
not answer any questions because they probably have been
asked and answered. So for the record, I like to ask people
if they going to be late, they should submit questions in
writing instead of having everybody who spend here on time
Say.
Sit here and have to be told asked and answered. So just as
a matter of courtesy to each other to keep the days from
being so tremendously long that if you going to be here,
come on time as your questions, listen and see, but don't
come late. And then answer five questions that whoever
sitting in that seat already has answer to the body, but we
will definitely monitor those and also for the one of the
questions that have already been submitted or everyone will
have an opportunity to see those questions as well that if
that have already been submitted submitted today. I also
want to recognize Altima Mosley for a for attendance as
well as any other human related questions or comments or
concerns.
Are.
All right, we'll deal with that will stand. You had a
question. I wanted to wait till all the papers were in, but
now I'm talking to all them in the sparta. I think it's
alright cuz it's not going to be in the papers, anyway, I
think was in The Substitute. I remember seeing in an
earlier, iteration, you can correct me if I'm wrong. There
was something like five or six million for the program for
126 flat preservation. Do I remember this accurately?
Yeah.
Yes. So the Department of Housing has a 20 million dollar
program to finance the preservation of 126 unit of
affordable housing buildings. And why what did I could take
a nap of the substitute.
no, I
No I I I I wanted to wait but it if you had a bunch of us
will stand at ease until we get there.

By community area.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes, hello everybody give me yes. So you can identify
yourself. Go to work on Sunday, Excel Department of Housing
program director for emergency rental assistance programs.
I'm so to answer your question in regards to someone
reapplying, so if they have already accessed, emergency
rental assistance fund, and they wouldn't be available due
to the treasury guidelines. So we do have a database set up
of everyone who receive rental assistance. So, the FSS will
be able to check against that particular system to see if
anyone received funding from the previous rounds of Cobra
system. And do you have a map or a listing by Community are
even by Wards of how many people have taken advantage of
this program and is 6 months limit or is it nine months? So
for the treasury guy Lance's, it's it's actually up to 12
months of rent, a Wheels, but for the FSS program, they run
at 6 months, so it'd be a 6-month bridge program. Correct,
Mart
Okay.
Okay, that's why I do have a map of everyone who's received
emergency rent assistance, and I make sure everyone gets
that. Thank you very much and they've had this contract to

rebuild program, and its really targeted to developers have
demonstrated capacity in the community. That I've actually
done some work. If they can do that and put together a team
to have done that and a working under that structure, the
rebuilt structure been? Absolutely. They can apply on the
Body Art & tanning inspection. You know, how many
complaints or citations we received in 2022 and 2023?

And have you shut down any locations?
Never.
Maribel Chavez Torres. Deputy Commissioner health. I will
get you that information through the chair. I don't have
that information with me for a bodyguard and inspection
that we do. We do bass complained as well, but we're also
is part of the grant required to visit in the
establishments that perform the services.
Okay.
I know.
I need you to treat me like a two-year-old on the
lower.
Local Health Protection Program and explain to me what
these two contracts for language line Solutions and are for
services.
What do they actually do?
Or the local Health protection for the language line, that
is the vendor that we use for translation services when we
are doing case investigation. So if we are working on a
food outbreak or a chemical disease, you know what are
breaking best vacation and we need to reach the residence.
We use language line for the translation services or for
our case investigations and do you have translation
services for French or Yoruba speaking people we do
translation Latin. Yes.
Very good on the tick. Surveillance are you working with
Hospitals and Clinics and what locations are being tested?
This is a new pilot program from the state of Illinois. So
when we do get reports of cases we
Are going to be collect.
Are going to be collecting the ticks and will be sending
them to a laboratory for idph. So, we will be working with
the hospitals that do go for healthcare providers, that
make that reward. So, it's a very small amount, this is the
first time G.
On.
On the senior high Margaret. How are you on the senior
program? Can we get a list of the senior centers that are
taking advantage of this program? And who those Network
providers are?
Yes. Certainly we are very happy to provide that
information and this emergency rental assistance program
where you say we lost the abrupt loss of a delegate agency.
How do we lose the delegate Agency on this program and did
we pay them?
Yes.
We go.
We lost the delicate agency, due to some issues in regards
to processing applications and also had a situation with a
staff of the delegate agencies that have some improprieties
with the, pretty much decided to cancel contract May 31st.
So, we've been out been without a provider since then,
we've been at, we've been able to keep the court based
rental assistance program. We were able to send some money
to Ida to keep eviction Court program going. We've also
giving for a million to the Asylum, Seekers hear a program
as well. So I only feel it's right, that it's bfss, not
have any cash to the process applications. We should
forward that to them as well so they can provide for the
residents of Chicago.
All right, and then my last question Mister chairman is on
the BGA presidential nominating conventions, that 50
million dollars. Have you, can you give us General
categories of how these funds will be allocated in a
Personnel equipment, overtime enforcement activities, do
you have a sense of how
You're thinking about you.
You're thinking about using this money at afternoon. I'll
demand Natalie Gutierrez on managing Deputy Office of
Public Safety Administration. Yes, all of the above. We
imagine, we begin our initial conversations with BJ, a last
week and went through eligible categories. Once there is
more information, they're going to work with us closely.
But yes, I largely over time, I imagine the law enforcement
equipment training in advance of the of the event and and
hopefully it wouldn't just be law enforcement. If there's
support through it, as a Fire Department of Emergency
Management with a proper justification, we're hoping there
are some cost there as well, that could be eligible. Do you
have like the breakdown from the last Democratic National
Convention on?
How much was?
How much was provided and how that money was spent. So we
get a sense of what we might anticipate here in Chicago.
Yes absolutely. We began conversations with Milwaukee who's
been very helpful showing us the ropes on what they receive
for their RNC. So I can certainly you know give a
high-level overview, do the chair of what they had it.
Similarly some same categories insurance for the city is
another huge category that studies have been looking at and
has previously been ineligible cost but the award has
stayed consistent at 50 million. We are still trying to see
if there's an option for Chicago. Get to get some
additional funds beyond that, but as of right now, it was
still 50 and has been for a long time, okay? Where
For that information.
for that information to the chair and
For that information to the chair and thank you, mr.
Chairman for the record for 10, it's been a request that

for the record, some members are under the council. Don't

That. The last part was me to say it, it sounds like a
great program and I'd love to learn more about it.
And your microphone is not live, sir.
From.
Formation. Can you hear? Okay, I'll try to get him up
information account to cover the general idea of the grant.
So this is a grant from from Ida from the state and it's
going to allow us to offer subsidy or vacant and abandoned
Rehabilitation Rehabilitation of bacon, abandoned homes,
and so, in many of the communities and neighborhoods to go
to mining communities. And neighborhoods, there isn't
natural investment or investment in the buildings for
rehabilitation because they values are so low that you
can't get after we have value for the developers. And so,
these dollars will offer a subsidy of up to 120 between 120
and $300,000 till the low for those buildings that need to
be rehab to actually be able sold on the market. So
developers, have some sort of prophet, something above and
beyond the value of the, of the home, once it's
rehabilitated.
it's
Its focus.
It's focused on low to moderate-income. Communities is
focused on developers who have demonstrated that they are
doing work in the communities and neighborhoods of a piece
of these vacant and abandoned homes. And the general idea
is that we're reinvesting, we're building local wealth. And
we Rehabilitation and creating new housing units at 262
$270,000 for full gut rehab. This is our best opportunity
in lowest cost.

Stop at.
Best opportunity for getting in and creating housing units
for single-family.
Is it, is it either?
so,
So Are there specific, Geographic areas that we're
targeting with these funds and is it possible to provide
that map? It? It's generally South and West Side Community
city wide and we can use the Dollar City Wide but it's
really focused on areas where development wouldn't happen
otherwise. So a naturally occurring in areas where there is
natural value and conser high enough to be able to support
this activity. It's not really need it but in areas south
and west side communities where you have a lot of vacancy.
A lot of Abandonment of homes. It's absolutely needed to be
able to Spur growth and opportunity to the point that maybe
not to the end you're talking about. But in areas with
strong Market pressures, we still do preservation, we spend
those properties either torn down or deconverted. So like I
would love to figure out how we help Rogan like this can

There is.
Areas with strong Market interest, where the market.
It was not.
It was not generally interested in what we're talkin about
here around affordability in it one of the other in some
areas. Once you get to a Tipping Point, you absolutely have
greater opportunity. You're looking for preservation on the
other side you're looking to try to bring the neighborhood
and create Community where you have a lot of vacancy in a
Batman. So that's really are focused for this particular
party dollars. I'd love to have a discussion with you about
the other side. I think it I will make sure to follow up.
Thank you very much sir. My only other question was related
to the the beat to Parts on the BCP side, the program that
is ending. It's one thing to return. Unused dollars, the
fact that like roughly 60% of the dollars went unused.
Does me.
Does make me curious about what what happened or did not
happen with this program, could you elaborate on that? Just
so, you know, there's like a two or three seconds away from
when you turn the microphone on?
Up.
Up is on.
Thank.
Thank you for your patience. So again, Jacqueline C I'm a
mess ccdph, immunization program director of the program
that you're referring to recall that our covid-19 vaccine
Outreach for employers program. So we received additional
supplemental, funding that allowed us to award, bacp
$5000000. They did put out an RFP. The goal was to seek
five agencies that could support Outreach and engagement
among the business community. And this was at a time when
we were doing a lot of vaccine hours to our Frontline
essential workers, but only two agencies were awarded the
funding, so that's the first thing and the funding was
supposed to be a million dollars for each of those five
agency. So we are awarded two million 1 million to two
agencies each. And so they spent 1.8 million. So they did
spend most of the funding, we decided because of priorities
during covid 92.
Arif.
Sharpie back out in the street and that's why the additional
three million was unspent. So they only, they'd only did
not spend to $200,000. So we only had two agencies even
respond to the Murphy. I can't tell you the number of
agencies that responded to the RFP cuz bacp manage that
process for us. But only two agencies qualified and were
awarded I mean, it's just a little it's I will say a little
frustrating and disappointing to only learn it so far after
the fact, because I, I think about how many folks may have
Better understood opportunities for vaccinations if those
dollars have gotten out the door. But now we're, we're in
the present. What? Let's live in the present and I'm just
curious simple, leaf, there are currently designs on what
we're going to do with those 3.2 million. Whether there's
restrictions based off of the federal agencies that we got
those dollars from in in where they can go. Can you can you
share on that? Yes. So that's the the the funding that were
talking about is a lot as part of a larger pot of funding,
which was our supplemental funding to receive from CDC. So,
all those dollars are currently being reallocated to
current covid related priority. So, such as are at home
program where we able to bring vaccines to home-bound
persons in seniors, you know, at their homes or mobile
providers, that staff, a lot of the automatic clinics that
have become
turn up the
Nothing just kicked off this week, and then also the city
college related events. So those dollars are being
reallocated to current covid-19 priorities. Thank you very
much, just a follow-up question for you with the two
agencies that did.
Or.
Or were these grants? How many businesses did they reach?
Like, how effective are the dollars that we did spend? If
that's a great question, I do not have those figures in
front of me, but I can definitely send them a thank-you.
Next, we have an Alderman Robinson.
Thank you madam chair. My question is regarding
And do we have?

25. Grantees
And the part.

Department of Health. And I'm assuming these, orbs are
doing the work around Hy-Vee.
My question is, as I look at this list of 25 Grand cheese. I
see only two that stand out as African-American, lay orbs.
And when I think about the Despair and seas of
What we are combating around HIV and I look at the oars and
I'm just curious if somebody can help me understand out of
the 25 or why do I only see two maybe three if possible? So
that's my first question and I have a follow-up question.
Thank.
Banker Alderman, Antonio King Public Health administrator
bitching for our Deputy Commissioner. When I don't know the
list that you're looking at, I don't have the list. But I
will say that a lot of the, the bulk of our HIV funding
that we received from CDC is for direct Clinical Services.
And that there are not many agencies that are black
honestly that are black LED organizations that offer Direct
Services to for HIV programs at this point. And I totally
understand what you're saying. So yes, we do have a
percentage after the IRS, please go out and they come back
in. There are percentage of large number of agencies. Who
Don't always qualify.
Don't always qualify because the bulk of the funding is for
Direct Services. The list that you're looking at all of
those individuals that are on that list, I believe
Haymarket. I believe I'll have the list but that's that's
basically that's the partial answer to it and without
knowing exactly what the list has on it, I wouldn't know.
But thank you mister King. And my next question is, how do
we knowing that this particular Community has high rates of
HIV? How do we make sure that there are oars that do the
work? How do we get them? The capacity to be able to be at
that level.
Thank you for that question. What we have done at the
Chicago to Public Health at this point because we know that
their parameters, we have to abide by for Direct Services.
When we rocking that funding we have implemented capacity
building programmes as of the last couple of years where we
are able to provide money's non-competitive funds to
agencies especially those in a black lid. Or those people
of color was her people of color to shore up their
infrastructure. Meaning, we've been able to allow as
Innovative grants, Innovative sponsorships for programs and
initiatives that the agencies may have that they don't have
to compete for it with our peace. This, this money is sent
to his awarded to them, under a criteria of. Are they
serving for specific population since gender female sister
to Black
Email.
Female trans people of color experience, black and Latino
men who have sex with men or if I'm too loving, if we're
able to shore up their capacity building that way, they
will not only become subcontractors. They can direct. They
can also apply for other direct funds that are not Clinical
Services. Thank you for that response. How much money do
you have in a line item specifically for that? Has a very
good question. I do not have that information. We can get
that through the chair to provide the information to you.
Thank you can get me that information and also I'm curious
if you can also share with me and this body, is that enough
funding to do that work. Because again, I understand what
you're saying, but I'm looking at 25 organization.
Two and a half three are African-American when we know that
we have high HIV numbers in this particular community and
it really goes back to another point. That maybe you can
explain this
How?
How many did we have one point? You have enough experience
to know over the years that we have have? Do we have 10?
So that's a two-parter. The prevalence rate definitely is
higher among people of color. Especially those who are
black and who are African-American, would we have done
since the eligibility for direct Clinical Services was not
meant what we have done, is we won fight to show up again,
those that infrastructure but we've also tried to look at.
How can we allocate other funding such as in housing? We we
we move funding from that movie. We allocate funds for
those individuals who are vulnerable for HIV as well. All
the prevention side so where we can't provide agencies with
monies that because they don't do direct Clinical Services.
We've been trying to do it on the backend with Prevention
Services. How can we show up there prevention programming?
How can we show up their intervention programme? How can we
show up their substance and mental health program in as
well? So, yeah. So answer, your question is, how much
enough is Never Enough know? None of this is never enough.
but,
but the
But the allocation of the Fonz is what also imperative as
well. If we I don't know, I've been in this business for
this particular industry for over 25 years. I'm not sure
that the Chicago depart public health is ever fully had a
robust Clinical Director, Clinical Services Program where
we allocated funds for agencies serving people of color
that are black lid because not again, not many black
litigious.
Do.
do Direct Services for
Do Direct Services for Clinical Services which is what the
bulk of our CDC funding is for me. They don't have Clinic
the Chicago. Black big game is caucus which is one of my
subcontractors for some project but also directly funded
for a Community Development. Grant. They don't offer
Clinical Services and Madame Sherri. I just have two
questions and I'm, I'm going to yield my time, mr. King,
you mentioned, maybe not on the list that I have. But how
many organizations do you believe that the department works
with the supports that a black lid?
where,
Work.
Work with that are black LED.
I'm
I myself work with at least 10 to 15 individual agencies
and programs that are black lip.
Thank.
Thank you, cuz that's a rough estimate off the top of my
tiny brown head.
And and how many are in that capacity, count that you're
trying to get to scale. As you mentioned at this time, we
are working with
and,
At least six of those organizations under two different
programs and initiatives to shore up their infrastructure.
Meaning we are, we are advancing money to help them hire a
consultant to come in to look at their agencies to see
where their baby deficit to show up that information to
show up, those deficits to put them in that another level
to where they can apply for fun. And I'm not that I'm still
thinking of that. Speaking of the Chicago, Blackhawk game
is caucus at one point, they were only a subcontractor to
one of our lead ages. We allocated money for their efforts.
What?
What we did?
What we didn't RP with any agency that apply for those
funds got infrastructure monies because we have the money
from CDC and there were not a whole lot of parameters where
we had to do the eligibility, but every agency that applied
including larger agencies were awarded money, the Chicago,
black gay males caucus was one of the agencies that apply
for money utilize, the Monies to shore up their
infrastructure and now they are a direct recipient as a
delegate agency from the health department for fun day and
not going through a subcontractor. They are now
subcontracting other agencies, such as pass, or need to be
on the west side of 9. South 9th, North Cicero, who is a
subcontractor because they're their infrastructure is not
substantial the capacity for being a direct delegate
agency. So those are the examples of the programs and
initiatives we have implemented to shore up their
infrastructures. If that answers your question was told him
and thank you and my last question Madam chair.
Is it?
Is it my fault?
Is it possible that we can get a mr. King or anyone at cdph
the list because I'm curious to know out of these 24
organizations it would be great to have a breakdown of each
amount that these organizations are getting. Can you
provide that are absolutely, thank you very much. Are there
any other questions on Lincolnway please?
you know, that you weren't here, I
I know that you weren't here either. Okay. Great. Got you
for the role, anybody else for questions?
If not, I will ask a couple questions for the Department of
Health regarding the item on page 3 for the local Health
protection. I'm just curious. What does a sanitarian do?
You're good. His stories. Deputy Commissioner Health
protector. The sanitarian is the person who does the food
inspection, inspector? It's a title that we've been, you
know, looking at perhaps, you know, changing in the future.
They are the ones that inspect at retail establishments
food inspector just sounds so much better than sanitarian.
But thank you for explaining that I just was curious about
that couple of my other questions were already covered.
Let's stick with the Department of Public Health regarding
the air pollution control program. I know that the the
amount of the increase is $819,000 to cover. The five
positions, the salaries at about half a million dollars.
Can you talk about what the other three hundred thousand is
going to be spent on? That is the increase, was a one-time
increased because the the funder owed the department back
buns,
the one time in a,
It's a one time in a funding and therefore does not allow
for us to be able to increase our Personnel that the funds
will be used to purchase vehicles for our inspectors that
are Citywide as well as to work with a consultant for air.
Monitoring are sampling and are remodeling reporting and
review.
Thank.
Thank you. That was it for my questions or any other
questions from any members.
If?
If not, what do I do next year? Let you sit down.
Don't.
Don't know for the question of discussion.
A museum pass all in favor in the polls Infinity. Share the
eyes have it in this matter will be reported out at our
regular meeting of the city council on October or the. Is
there a seeing no other business? So, I'll take motion for
adjournment of the Mist. Has motion to adjourn all in favor
and your bowls and it says I have it. We are journalists
everybody tomorrow.
