Itasca approves reimbursement to Addison Township for Nordic Road paving and accepts $25,000 DuPage County grant for Usher Park enhancements
Summary
The board approved an intergovernmental agreement to reimburse Addison Township $15,005.69 for resurfacing a portion of Nordic Road now under village maintenance after annexation, and accepted a $25,000 DuPage County member initiative grant earmarked for Usher Park improvements.
The Village of Itasca on Aug. 5 agreed to reimburse Addison Township $15,005.69 for resurfacing the portion of Nordic Road that the township resurfaced prior to annexation and which later became the village’s maintenance responsibility after an annexation related to the Hanmi property. Trustee Leahy moved the measure and a roll call recorded approval.
In a separate intergovernmental action, trustees approved accepting a $25,000 DuPage County member initiative grant to finance part of planned enhancements at Usher Park. Staff said the grant is intended to cover a small, shovel‑ready component of the park project — village officials said the funded portion should be substantially complete by the 11/30/2025 grant deadline.
Why it matters: The Nordic Road reimbursement settles a routine cost‑sharing obligation after changes in maintenance jurisdiction. The DuPage County member initiative grant helps fund a local park improvement; trustees said the village will reallocate capital budgets so the grant can be used for Usher Park and other near‑term needs.
Board action and next steps: Both agreements were approved by roll call. Staff noted the Usher Park scope tied to the grant is a portion of a larger project and that construction of that portion should meet the county’s completion deadline; staff will oversee implementation and any required grant reporting.
