That agreement allows for reimbursement of 70% of the County’s total allowable costs approved by the Agency, not to exceed the maximum amount of financial assistance approved by the Agency. Illinois EPA has awarded CCDES with up to $329,911.00 annually in financial assistance from state fiscal year 2018 through state fiscal year 2021, the first installment of which was approved during the County’s FY2017 budget. DES is requesting approval of the entire award amount to account for the overlap in County and State fiscal years.
