City of Hoopeston Facade Committee met Jan. 6.
Here is the minutes provided by the committee:
The meeting was called to order at 4:06pm with all members present. Carol Hicks, Valarie Hinkle, Emily Brown, Marta Pierce, Alderman Robin Lawson. Also, present Mayor Crusinberry.
Presentation of application from Hoopeston Coin Laundry located at 209 South First Avenue in the amount of $2150.00, 50% of the total cost. Owner’s Troy & Sue Flint included photos, the estimate from Ervin Construction of Hoopeston and recently a copy of payment to Ervin’s. This project was partially completed prior to making the application on November 21, 2019 due to the medical issue of a passerby that fell into the window and it needed to be replaced immediately. The committee voted to accept the application because of the unusual circumstance. Several members asked if an insurance claim was filed for this and the owner’s stated, they did not file a claim. Following a brief discussion, a vote was taken. The committee voted 5-0 to recommend to the city council to award a façade grant in the amount of $2150.00 to Hoopeston Coin Laundry.
Presentation of an application from Mihail Mihalios, R. E. Investments Inc., owner of 217 East Main Street, 221 East Main Street and 223 East Main Street in Hoopeston. Mr. Milhalios is requesting $50,000.00 for roof, plumbing, electrical, 5 central air and heating units and new windows. Mr. Milhalios submitted only the application form. No bids, written proposals and no before photos were submitted as required. The committee voted 5-0 to decline this application because it was incomplete per the guidelines for the façade grant program. The mayor requested a letter be sent to the owner detailing this decision. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
