Council approved an amendment to a prior CDBG award to the Pekin Outreach Initiative (POI) to provide additional funding and a 30‑day extension to correct an ADA bathroom installation and complete renovations at a proposed day shelter.

Josh Ray explained that the original project was granted $75,000 in February 2024 to renovate a space for an unhoused day shelter, but subsequent inspections found one of two bathrooms did not meet required clearances. Staff recommended approval of an additional amount to finish the corrected work and a short extension; project representatives said corrections could be completed quickly once funding was authorized. Council approved the amendment 6‑0.
