Summary
Council authorized a grant agreement with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for $75,000 toward a new slide at Palos Pool; Alderman Jeffrey Key said the state payment process took '6 or 7 years' for the pool rehab funding.
Council authorized the Mayor to execute a grant agreement with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DECO) for $75,000 to contribute toward a new slide at Palos Pool. Alderman Jeffrey Key moved the measure, Alderman Heather Begley seconded it, and the motion passed on a unanimous roll call.
Key noted the lengthy timeline for state reimbursement, saying the grant process “took 6 or 7 years for the State to pay for the pool rehab.” The grant is recorded as a city agreement to accept DECO funds and apply them to the pool slide project; the minutes do not specify project timelines or additional matching funds.
