Summary
Kane County Transportation Committee approved three FY2026 motor fuel tax appropriations — including a $4,745,267 maintenance appropriation and a $476,970 IMRF/Social Security appropriation — and confirmed these are IDOT-required items in the FY26 budget.
The Kane County Transportation Committee on Dec. 16 approved three motor fuel tax appropriation resolutions that staff said are required by the Illinois Department of Transportation and are included in the FY2026 budget.
Staff presented the first appropriation to authorize appropriation for the county engineer's salary and transfer of funds from federal surface transportation funds (section noted in the record). The second appropriation — described in the packet as an FY2026 maintenance motor fuel tax appropriation — appropriates $4,745,267 to cover maintenance personnel, IT support services, liability, workers' compensation and unemployment insurance; staff recommended approval and the measure passed on roll call. The third appropriation was an FY2026 county maintenance motor fuel tax appropriation of $476,970 for IMRF and Social Security expenditures; staff recommended approval and the committee voted to approve.
Committee members recorded roll calls for each measure during the meeting and the clerk recorded affirmative votes. Staff characterized these as routine budgetary appropriations to align county accounts with FY26 IDOT requirements.
