Morton enters 10-year maintenance agreement with IDOT for state-owned streets
Summary
The board approved a 10-year intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation for routine maintenance on specified state roadways inside Morton, with estimated annual costs of about $50,000.
The Village of Morton Board of Trustees approved a 10‑year intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation for routine maintenance of designated state roadways within village limits.
Director of Public Works (unnamed) said the new IDOT maintenance agreement covers routine work on several streets inside Morton and lists routine maintenance items in the agreement packet. He told the board the estimated cost is approximately $50,000 annually and that IDOT will send updated costs before the start of each IDOT fiscal year. The agreement covers Jackson Street, Birchwood Street, the portion of Detroit Avenue west of Detroit Avenue (as presented), and North Morton Avenue from Jackson Street to Bond within the village.
Trustees moved and seconded the resolution authorizing the agreement (Resolution 0726) and approved it by roll call. Trustee Reach and Trustee Lanier were recorded as voting yes in the roll call; Trustee Cirelli also voted yes.
Discussion versus action: the presentation described the geographic coverage and estimated recurring cost; the board’s action was approval of the intergovernmental agreement. No amendments or additional funding authorizations beyond the agreement were recorded in the transcript.
