Manteno board approves MFT resolutions, ground lease and $264,357.15 in bills by single roll call vote
Summary
The Village of Manteno board approved a set of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) resolutions, two professional services agreements with HR Green, a ground lease with Campus Communications Group, and payment of $264,357.15 in bills as part of the consent agenda March 3.
The Village of Manteno board on March 3 approved the consent agenda by a single roll call vote that included three Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) resolutions, a ground lease for a fiber connection point and payment of bills totaling $264,357.15.
The board approved: Resolution 24-17 (maintenance under the Illinois Highway Code); Resolution 24-18 (professional service agreement with H. R. Green for engineering services for the 2025 MFT resurfacing program); Resolution 24-19 (professional service agreement with H. R. Green for FY 2026 MFT general maintenance); and Resolution 24-20 (ground lease between the Village of Manteno and Campus Communications Group allowing a fiber network connection cabinet on village property east of the pond next to the police department). The ground lease package includes in-kind free internet service at six village buildings: Village Hall, the police department, the Public Works Building, and Heritage, Legacy and Sees Parks, as stated in meeting remarks.
Motion and vote: Trustee Dole moved to take a single roll call vote on the consent agenda; Trustee Crockett seconded. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from Trustees Dole, Crockett, Woodrow, Geske and Phillips. The board chair declared the motion carried and the consent items approved.
Why it matters: The MFT resolutions are documents required by the state to use motor fuel tax funds for road repairs and resurfacing; the professional services agreements authorize HR Green to provide engineering services for upcoming MFT programs. The ground lease gives Campus Communications Group a place to locate its main connection cabinet on village property and provides free internet service to specified municipal facilities.
Payments: The board authorized payment of bills totaling $264,357.15; the meeting record states there were no TIF (tax increment financing) bills included in that total. The finance committee reported bills authorized between board cycles of $43,551.93.
Ending: The consent agenda items passed by unanimous roll call; no individual items were pulled for separate discussion at the March 3 meeting.
