necessary to effectuate the terms\r\nof the Agreement contained therein.\r\nExplanation:

The City of Moline “City” is a home rule unit pursuant to Article VII, Section 6,

of the Illinois\r\nConstitution of 1970. The City of East Moline “East Moline” is

a non-home rule unit. There is a real estate\r\ndevelopment occurring along the

City and East Moline border located at 5320 22nd Avenue, Moline, Illinois.\r\nProviding

municipal services to said real estate is complicated and made difficult by its

location on the border\r\nof the two cities. City staff and East Moline have determined

that it would be in the best interest of the property\r\nowner for the City and

East Moline to cooperate in providing certain municipal services to said real estate.\r\nIntergovernmental

cooperation between units of local government to contract, further combine, or transfer

a\r\nlawful power or function in any manner not prohibited by law or ordinance is

authorized by Article VII, Section\r\n10, of the Illinois Constitution of 1970.

The Illinois General Assembly, in order to implement Article VII,\r\nSection 10,

of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, adopted the Intergovernmental Cooperation

Act (501 ILCS\r\n605/1, et seq.). City staff and East Moline wish to participate

in this Intergovernmental Agreement for the\r\nfollowing public purposes, which

purposes shall include, without limitation, the development of the community\r\nand

the general business base, the general public benefit, including the improvement

of the health, safety and\r\nwelfare of the City and its residents. Specifically,

the City of Moline will provide the water utility service to the\r\nproperty, and

the City of East Moline will provide the sewer utility service. The actions of the

City and East\r\nMoline are intended to provide an impetus to economic development.

All aspects of the Intergovernmental\r\nAgreement are designed and intended to enhance

the public health, safety and welfare, as related to both cities\r\nand their residents.

Housing Trust Fund Single Family Rehabilitation Program in the amount of\r\n$920,000;

and Authorizing the City and staff to do any and all things necessary to apply for

the Illinois\r\nAffordable Housing Trust Fund Single Family Rehabilitation Program

Grant.\r\nExplanation: The City has a list of 94 households waiting to participate

in the Community Housing Services\r\nProgram, and 104 applications were also mailed

out to prospective applicants to the Program this summer,\r\nwhich demonstrates

the need for additional resources for owner-occupied housing rehabilitation in the

City. The\r\nIllinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund Single Family Rehabilitation

Program (SFR) will assist low-income and\r\nvery low-income homeowners with repairs

to their homes and will also remove health and safety hazards by\r\nrepairing or

replacing costly maintenance items. The City is requesting $920,000 for the SFR.

to sign a Uniform Application for State Grant Assistance for a grant\r\nrequest

to the Illinois Department of Transportation to fund the Avenue of the Cities Corridor

Plan\r\nproject.\r\nExplanation: In an effort to further the City Council’s priority

of developing an Avenue of the Cities Corridor\r\nPlan, staff previously submitted

a request for funding to Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for the\r\nAvenue

of the Cities Corridor Plan project. Staff was recently made aware by IDOT that

the project is in\r\nIDOT’s current work plan, but as the state is implementing

the new Grant Accountability and Transparency Act\r\n(GATA) there are forms that

the City is obliged to complete and submit in order to be formally considered for\r\nproject

funding. One of these forms is the above-mentioned Uniform Application for State

Grant Assistance,\r\nwhich requires an authorized individual to sign the form on

behalf of the City. Approval of a Resolution related\r\nto this request would authorize

the Mayor to sign said form and allow IDOT\r\nto prepare an Intergovernmental Grant

Agreement for the City Council’s\r\nconsideration. Additional documentation attached.\r\nFiscal

provision of such municipal services.\r\nII. Term of Agreement: The term of this

agreement shall commence on the date hereinabove\r\nset forth and continue in full

force and effect indefinitely unless terminated by either of the\r\nparties hereto

of said election. However, Moline will, in all\r\ninstances, maintain its water

meter on the property because it shall continue to provide the water\r\nutility
