Kankakee County board approves resurfacing, bridge design and engineer salary resolutions
Summary
The county board authorized a local agency agreement and matching funds for resurfacing County Highway 41, approved an engineering agreement for a bridge replacement on County Highway 37, and authorized a county engineer salary agreement.
The Kankakee County Board on June 10 approved three resolutions related to county transportation infrastructure: resurfacing County Highway 41, engaging Hutchison Engineering to design a bridge replacement on County Highway 37, and authorizing an agreement for the county engineer’s salary.
The board authorized the county board chairman to sign a local agency agreement for federal participation and appropriate matching tax funds to resurface County Highway 41. Board members then approved an engineering agreement with Hutchison Engineering and the appropriation of county bridge funds to design a bridge replacement on County Highway 37 in Ottawa and Aroma townships.
Finally, the board authorized execution of an agreement for the county engineer’s salary. Each resolution was moved, seconded and approved on roll-call votes. The motions carried with aye votes recorded by roll call; no amendments or dissenting discussion was recorded in the meeting minutes for these items.
The resurfacing resolution appropriates county matching funds to draw federal participation; the bridge design resolution obligates county bridge funds for design work and the engineer-agreement resolution standardizes pay for the county engineer. County staff and commissioners did not state specific dollar amounts in the board discussion during the meeting record read into the minutes; the resolutions were approved as presented.
