Carbon Hill hearing seeks village commitment for CDBG-funded wastewater improvements
Summary
Mayor Adam Johnson opened a public hearing Jan. 7 in Carbon Hill for a village pledge of local funds required for a federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to finance wastewater treatment plant improvements and grant administration; no public comments were offered and the hearing was closed the same night.
Mayor Adam Johnson opened a public hearing at 6:45 p.m. on Jan. 7 at Carbon Hill Village Hall to consider the village's commitment of local funds tied to a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application. Ryan Hogan of the North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG) told the board the meeting's purpose was to secure that local commitment for a federally funded project to upgrade the village wastewater treatment plant and to cover grant administration.
"the purpose of the meeting was for a Village commitment of local funds to the federally funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project for the Village which will include Village Wastewater Treatment Plan Improvements and Grant Administration," Ryan Hogan said, according to the meeting record. No members of the public spoke during the comment period.
Trustee Charlie Shain moved to close the public hearing; Trustee Gary Smith seconded. The motion carried with six ayes: Trustees Paul Opyd, Lori Ryder-Togliatti, Charlie Shain, Nicole Shain, Gary Smith and Lorna Surman. The public hearing was recorded as closed at 6:55 p.m.
The record shows the village took the procedural step of opening the hearing required for the CDBG process and documenting that there were no public comments. The transcript and minutes do not record any final vote or ordinance committing a specific dollar amount of local funds; they record only the hearing, the statement of purpose by NCICG, and the formal closure of the hearing. Any formal local funding commitment, appropriation or follow-up actions are not specified in the minutes and would require further board action or documentation.
