North Aurora board authorizes grant application for Hillside/Farview water‑main project
Summary
The board authorized staff to apply for county Community Development Funding for the Hillside and Farview water‑main replacement project, which staff estimated at about $1.9 million and said it would seek roughly half (~$950,000). The county may award less and the village is not required to proceed without funding.
Village staff presented and the board approved a motion authorizing staff to prepare and submit an application for county Community Development Funding (CDF) to support the Hillside and Farview water‑main replacement project.
Brandon, the staff presenter, said the project serves low‑to‑moderate‑income areas identified by the U.S. Census and that water‑main replacement projects qualify for the program. "The Hillside and Farview water main replacement project is estimated to cost approximately $1,900,000," he said, and staff plans to request half the cost (about $950,000), while noting the county could award a smaller amount and the village would not be obligated to proceed without the grant.
Board members moved and seconded the authorization; the motion passed by roll call. The item includes a staff direction to prepare the grant application and submit it to the county for consideration; any award and project start would be contingent on the county's grant decision and subsequent board approvals of contracts and construction funding.
The meeting record did not specify a project start date or construction schedule; staff said funding is contingent on county award and village decisions after award.
