Overview
Overview
This resolution authorizes staff to submit an application to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) for their Stormwater Partnership Program which is a cost sharing grant program for a proposed flood mitigation project on Lemoyne Street from East Avenue to Edmer Avenue. The Lemoyne Sewer Project is already included in the FY2020 budget and any grant funds received would offset local water and sewer funds.

The MWRD cost sharing program does not have a predefined local match cost sharing percentage requirement or maximum or minimum levels of funding. Final cost sharing amounts will be determined after MWRD selects receipts of their grants. Based on staff's understanding of typical projects which have received similar MWRD funding in the past, staff is estimating that should the Village receive the grant that MWRD may fund the project at a 50/50 cost sharing split for roughly $750,000 in MWRD funding and $750,000 in Village funds depending on final costs of the project once design is completed.
Should the Village be awarded the cost sharing grant, construction of the project will need to be deferred until 2021 in order to allow for time to complete an IGA with MWRD for the grant.
