Council approves contracts and surplus TIF distribution; consent agenda passes
Summary
The Streator City Council approved a surplus tax allocation distribution to Livingston County, awarded several public works contracts (aggregate, emulsified oil, MFT roadwork), and approved the consent agenda; all items passed on council roll calls.
At its regular meeting the Streator City Council approved a set of financial and procurement items including a surplus tax allocation distribution for a special-tax district, supply contracts for aggregate and emulsified oil, and a construction contract for a 2025 MFT roadway project. The council also approved the consent agenda, which included fund warrants totaling $781,706.82.
These votes matter because they authorize city expenditures and contracts that support street maintenance and capital work in 2025. One ordinance declares surplus revenue in a special tax allocation fund and authorizes payment to the Livingston County Treasurer for distribution to affected taxing districts for tax year 2023 (payable 2024). Other actions award annual supply contracts and a construction contract for milling and overlay work on a named city street.
Ordinance (surplus revenue): The council moved and approved an ordinance to declare surplus revenue in the south industrial special tax allocation fund and to authorize payment of $154,372.96 to the Livingston County Treasurer for distribution to affected taxing districts for tax year 2023 (payable 2024). The motion was moved by Dave Reed and seconded by Dave Carter. Clerk roll-call votes were recorded as affirmative by all council members present.
Aggregate supply contract: The council awarded Resolution 20 25 (aggregate supply) to Tig Campbell Trucking Inc., Cornell, Illinois, for aggregate materials used in street and alley maintenance under the Illinois Highway Code. The item was presented as part of the city’s annual bidding process; the vendor has been the only bidder for several years but the recommended award was within budget. The council approved the award on roll call.
Emulsified oil supply contract: The council awarded Resolution 20 25 13 to Asphalt Oil Sales, Jacksonville, Illinois, for emulsified oil delivery to a city storage tank for street maintenance. The material will be delivered to the city storage tank purchased in prior years. The council approved the award on roll call.
2025 MFT roadway construction contract: The council awarded Resolution 20 25 14 to Universal Asphalt and Excavating Inc., LaSalle, Illinois, for the 2025 MFT roadway project, described in the packet as a mill-and-overlay of North Shaveenaw Street from Branson Street to Fourth Street. Four bidders submitted proposals and staff recommended the low bidder; the council approved the contract on roll call.
Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda, including fund warrants of $781,706.82, on a roll-call vote.
Roll-call tallies on these items were recorded as unanimous among members present: Dave Connor — Aye; Tim Geary — Aye; Matt McMullen — Aye; Dave Reed — Aye; Mary Beattie — Aye. Item 7 on the agenda was removed earlier in the meeting.
No substantive public comment was recorded on these procurement or financial items.
