[Committee-members Flores and Vescio entered the meeting.] 
 
Committee-member discussion and deliberations were held.     
 
Committee-member Wayne noted only one bid for the Glencroft elevator project was included in the 
request.  Committee-member Rubio explained, if awarded, the City of Glendale procurement process 
would require three bids.  Committee-member Hackenberg stated that the agency may have already 
had three bids and put the best bid in the application.  Vice Chair Baker asked what would happen if 
the request was awarded, but the project could be done for a lower cost.  Mr. Hess relayed that staff 
would request to see the three bids and would look at the contract, inspections, and more prior to 
reimbursement.   
 
Committee-member Hackenberg inquired what happened to funds that were unused by the agencies.  
Mr. Hess explained that the funds can be returned or if the agency can demonstrate another CDBG-
eligible use, it would be considered.  
 
Chair Dvorak reminded all that Council has the final say on CDAC recommendations.    
 
Mr. Hess announced that this evening’s recommendations would be preliminary and no action would 
be taken until the regular CDAC meeting to be held on January 23, 2020 CDAC regular monthly 
meeting.   
 
Vice Chair Baker asked if the City had to come up with the ESG match for the set aside funds.  Mr. 
Hess replied in the positive. Vice Chair Baker inquired about the source of the matching funds.  Mr. 
Hess relayed that the source is not known until the funds are submitted for drawdown. Mr. Hess 
reported that the City of Peoria is also utilizing a set aside for shelter bed reservations.  Mr. Hess 
explained that when the police call requesting a bed for a homeless individual, there will be some beds 
available to the City.
