MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING HELD IN
THE ELEANOR ROHRBACH MEMORIAL COUNCIL
CHAMBERS, DES PLAINES CIVIC CENTER,
MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1991
Mayor Albrecht called the public hearing to order at
8:17 p.m. Aldermen Childers, Christiansen, Schneck,
Sarlo, Chiropolos, and Haupt were present. The public
hearing was held pursuant to legal notice to consider
City's request to the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for permission to
reallocate Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds granted in past years towards the construction of
a Senior Center. The facility is to be located in the ,
new Des Plaines Park District Community Center at
Prairie Lakes Park. ~he City proposes to reallocate
CDBG funds as follows: $200,000 from Storefront
Rehabilitation; $2,500 from the Friendly Visitor
program; and $18,000 from the Subsidized Housing Site
Search program. The total of reallocated funds,
$220,000, along with current and future budgeted
amounts for the Senior Center, will be used to pay for
the facility.
Mayor Albrecht asked if there was any public input.
Resident Patricia Van Kampen, 874 Oakwood Court,
expressed her concern about the co~mingling of Park and '
City funds for this project. She is also concerned
about use of the park for such a project. It had been
her understanding that this would be a park-park and
not a lot of program activities with cars coming and
going. City Manager Asaro explained how economical .
it was for the two government agencies to join together j
on the project. It had been estimated that it would 1
cost $1.8 million to rehab and renovate the present
building being used as the Senior Center (former West
School, Thacker Street and Second Avenue). This joint
project will cost $880,000. He also stated that the
Senior Center is only one part of the proposed Communit~
Center, approximately 7,000 sq. ft. The majority of
the site will be used for park-type activities.
There being no further public input, the public hearing ·
was adjourned at 8:32 p.m.
The City Council reconvened at 8:33 p.m.
