33. Other sources of funds This project is a continuation of extensive renovations Clayton has made at Meadowbrook at Clayton to make this aging building functional again for the regional community. Clayton committed over $172,885 ($100,000 PDAC grant and $72,885 city funds) over the past four years in the aging HVAC system, consisting of 12 HVAC units that are over 30 years old. Using those funds, we've replaced 4 of those units at the beginning of 2019 and consistently repair the other units when they've faltered. Clayton also spent approximately $166,000 over the past three years for other equipment and structural renovations at the building. Due to the aging infrastructure, Clayton secured over $116,000 in funds as a result of an insurance claim due to waterlines bursting in 2017. Those funds were used to do additional renovations to the interior of the building. Finally, there will be a new roof, at the cost of approximately $100,000, put on the entire building by November of 2019 as a result of the Memorial Day tornado. In total, Clayton has undertaken $575,885 of renovations at Meadowbrook at Clayton over the past four years.

39.

Clayton also applied for a Lowes Local Municipal Grant for exterior renovations. We were not awarded this grant.

Community Details

40. Community Need The City of Clayton received Meadowbrook at Clayton via a land donation in 2016. The 171 acre private golf course was immediately opened to the public and we began to take advantage of the aging building by oﬀering community outreach programs to everyone in the Northmont and surrounding communities. Included with this initiative were events such as the Tri-City Anniversary Celebration with Englewood and Union, our annual Easter Egg Hunt, a new and exciting Labor Day Festival and Fireworks, a Costumes and Carvings Event for Halloween and Breakfast with Santa during the Holiday season. These events are all free to the community at large and have proven to be a huge success. In 2018 Clayton offered two new community programs, the "Taste of Northmont" and "Movie in the Park." Both programs were huge successes with the community and are being followed with the Northmont Winter Market which is kicking off in 2019, which will offer free events and activities for children. The availability of the building and it being able to have appropriate heating and cooling functionality is essential for the future success of all of these events. The building needs to be cool during the summer months for our senior and younger generations to escape the heat and warm during the cooler months.

41. Previous Funding: Has the requesting organization received Congressionally earmarked funding in the past? If so, please provide a brief project description, year funded, amount, and Congressional sponsor. This project will be successful when we're able to appropriately update our entire HVAC system. Phase I was completed at the beginning of 2019 and we hope to have Phase II completed by the beginning of 2021 and finally Phase III by the beginning of 2022. We have worked with Engergy Optimizers on a complete energy audit of the building. The recommended green energy certiﬁed system is projected to have an annual savings of over $13,000. Completing this project ensures Clayton will continue to oﬀer community outreach programs in addition to oﬀering additional lifestyle amenities for our entire community, sometimes close to 1,000 residents per event. The availability of the building is vitally important to continue having the community impact we have been able to oﬀer the past three years. If we're unable to secure funding, the most likely scenario will be Clayton will have to close the building and the community outreach programs will no longer be oﬀered.

42. Direct new jobs created 1-10

43. Existing jobs retained? 26-50

44. Sustained permanent jobs? 26-50

45. Please explain how you determined the job creation listed in questions 42-44. Currently there are 4 full time employees and twenty-nine part time employees that work at Meadowbrook at Clayton throughout the year, which is an increase of 5 total employees from 2017. Securing funding for the HVAC renovations will continue to give Clayton opportunities to expand community amenities and outreach services at the location, which will create the need for a small expansion of the full time roster of employees. Evidence of this increase can be observed from the number of employees from last year compared to this year when we increased the number of community and catered events at the location. At the minimum there will be an expected increase in catered events oﬀered at the banquet center portion of the building. The increase in catered events in addition to the continuation and increase in community outreach programs will create additional employment opportunities at Meadowbrook at Clayton over the next 10 years.

46. Using your best guess, of the jobs created over the next 10 years, what will the average salary be? $25,001-$50,000
