Highway staff schedules special meeting before full board to amend local agency agreement with IDOT
Summary
Staff said IDOT requested the county pass an amended local agency agreement in October to include preliminary engineering reimbursement for a Sandy Cosgrove Road slide-failure project; the committee agreed to hold a short special highway meeting before the full board to approve the amendment and associated management resolution.
LaSALLE COUNTY — County highway staff told the committee that the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) asked the county to pass an amended local agency agreement for reimbursement of interim engineering on a slide-failure project on North 20 Fifth Road to Sandy Cosgrove Road. Because the matter must be on the full board agenda in October, staff requested a short special highway meeting immediately before the full board so the committee could approve the amendment.
Nut graf: The amendment would expand the original agreement to include engineering tasks that were omitted previously, including work performed by a consultant who has since died; staff said the amendment does not add county funding obligations but seeks to correct the scope so the township receives reimbursement for the consultant's preliminary engineering.
Committee members discussed procedure and confirmed they would meet around 12:30 p.m. before the October full board session to consider and, if appropriate, approve the amended agreement and a management resolution requested by IDOT. Staff emphasized the item will be on the full board agenda and that the special highway meeting is to allow committee consideration before full board action.
Ending: Staff will place the amendment on the committee agenda for a short special meeting the day of the October full board and coordinate required materials with IDOT and the state's attorney's office.
