The Elgin City Council approved a resolution authorizing the interim city manager to execute an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company for the Safe Routes to School project.

City staff described the item as straightforward and noted that work had already begun at the site. A council member moved to approve the resolution and the motion passed with votes recorded in open session: Mayor Pro Tem Brazier, Mayor Teresa McShane, Kuznovsky, Gibson, Swain, Love, Kallen, Rodriguez and Dennis voted yes.

The resolution authorizes the interim city manager to enter into the agreement with Union Pacific; detailed project scope, schedule, and funding specifics were not discussed in depth during the public portion of the meeting. Staff said the project had started in the field, which the council member characterized as a practical step, and moved the item forward on consent.

Because the council placed the measure on the consent/new business agenda and approved it by motion, no separate public hearing was recorded for this item in the meeting transcript.
