Decatur began meeting these <br /> guidelines in all its federally-funded housing rehabilitation programs in <br /> FY2001. This involved extensive training of staff and local contractors, <br /> and restructunng of program guidelines and processes. As a result,two <br /> local contractors completed training offered by the City in cooperation <br /> with the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Macon County <br /> Health Department and became licensed by the State of Illinois, and three <br /> Neighborhood Redevelopment staff inembers are licensed lead <br /> supervisors. <br /> FY04 <br /> ❖ The City will continue to actively pursue addition funds for mitigation <br /> of lead-based paint hazard active: <br /> ❖ The City will continue to train staff as needed so that knowledge of <br /> lead mitigation is current. <br /> ❖ Complete projects in conjunction with the Macon County Health <br /> Department through the Get the Lead Out ("GLO")program. <br /> Past Activitv <br /> In FY2003 the City: <br /> ❖ Split rehabilitation projects into lead and non-lead rehabilitation. All <br /> contractors who bid on lead components of rehabilitation projects <br /> incorporated into their bids the cost of lead-based paint remediation. <br /> Using an average cost of total projects from the 2001/2002 program <br /> year, we increased our estimated per-unit cost from $38,000 to <br /> approximately$45,000.. <br /> 13 <br />
