Board adopts two resolutions to designate MFT and Rebuild Illinois funds for resurfacing program
Summary
Trustees approved two resolutions under the Illinois Highway Code designating Rebuild Illinois and regular Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds for the village'023 resurfacing program; the Rebuild Illinois allocation was identified as $1,626,838.62.
The village board approved two resolutions required by the Illinois Department of Transportation to allocate Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds and Rebuild Illinois funds to the village'023 MFT resurfacing program. Director Reese explained the resolutions and the amount received under Rebuild Illinois.
Why it matters: Municipalities must pass formal resolutions to designate state MFT funds for specific resurfacing projects; the designation allows the village to proceed with scheduled repairs using state‑allocated dollars.
Director Reese said the item is a follow‑up to a 2023 resolution and described two required documents: one designating Rebuild Illinois funds and one for regular MFT funds. He said the village received $1,626,838.62 in Rebuild Illinois funds and that IDOT requires a separate resolution specifically designating those funds. The agenda language mistakenly described the items as an ordinance; staff asked trustees to approve the two resolutions.
Trustee Guzzo moved to approve the resolutions; Trustee Little seconded. The board approved both resolutions on a roll call vote with all trustees present voting yes.
Discussion versus action: The board took formal action to adopt the required resolutions; the vote authorized expenditure of state MFT and Rebuild Illinois funds for the resurfacing program. No specific street segments were amended in the meeting record.
Next steps: With the resolutions adopted, the village can proceed with project administration under IDOT rules and schedule.
