Summary

Trustees approved amending a prior resolution to appropriate $1,057,500 in motor fuel tax funds (rather than general funds) and to apply remaining Rebuild Illinois funds toward the Detroit Avenue project; the change aligns with the approved budget.

The Village of Morton Board of Trustees amended an earlier resolution to appropriate $1,057,500 in motor fuel tax (MFT) funds instead of general funds for the Detroit Avenue project and to use remaining Rebuild Illinois program funds toward the same project.

Director of Public Works (unnamed) said the resolution (Resolution 0826) amends a previously approved resolution to authorize appropriating $1,057,500 in motor fuel tax funds and to apply the remainder of the village’s Rebuild Illinois funds, aligning the financing with the board’s approved budget.

Trustees moved to approve the resolution and approved it by roll call. Trustee Harris, Trustee Lanier, Trustee Cirelli and Trustee Leach were recorded as voting yes.

Discussion versus action: the item was described as a budgetary cleanup to align fund sources for the Detroit Avenue rebuild; the board’s formal action was to approve the amended appropriation. The transcript contains no additional debate about project scope or schedule.
