SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and the Emergency Management

BACKGROUND: The Local Coronavirus Urgent Remediation Emergency (or Local CURE)
Support Program (Section 3-10 of Public Act 101-0636) is a support program for units of local
government as defined by the Illinois Constitution. The Local CURE program is appropriated to
the department under Section 5 of Article 30 of Public Act 101-0637 in State Fiscal Year 2021 for
$250,000,000.
The Local CURE program is a local government assistance program which applies to all units of
local government (as defined by the Illinois Constitution) outside of Cook, Lake, Will, Kane, and
DuPage counties. It is federally funded from the Coronavirus Relief Fund using dollars allocated
to Illinois through the CARES Act.
The Program will reimburse units of local government for costs that are necessary expenditures
incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to COVID-19; were not accounted for in
the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 (the date of enactment of the CARES
Act) for the unit of local government; and were incurred during the period beginning March 1,
2020 and ending December 30, 2020.
