Overview

Recommendation

Recommendation

Approve the resolution.

 

Fiscal Impact

The Recommended FY 2022 Budget includes $42,500 for funding for the Oak Park Residence Corporation (Account #1001.46206.280.585652).

 

Background

The contract between the Village of Oak Park and the Oak Park Residence Corporation utilizes general revenue funds to fund the small condominium management program started a couple of years ago.

 

The Village has contributed funding to the Residence Corporation since the 1970’s. The contract presented in 2022 is consistent with previous contracts except that since 2010 the Village no longer provides general operating support to the Residence Corporation. In 2021, the Residence Corporation will receive $35,000 to administer the small condominium management program started several years ago. This was a reduction of $7,500 from the 2020 funding.  In 2022, a request is being made to increased the funding by $7,500 to the 2019 funding and 2020 funding levels. Payment is on a fee for service basis, payable in two semi-annual installments.

 

Alternatives

The alternative would be to not fund the Oak Park Residence Corporation to work with smaller condominium associations. However, the Village of Oak Park has 178 out of 289 condominium associations with 12 or fewer units. Those condominium associations often have limited resources to hire outside management companies to help the association set up proper policies and protocols to effectively manage their building. The Small Condo Project gives associations the resources to learn effective self-management skills. Not funding this program would leave those associations without this important resource.
