Trustees approve motor fuel tax appropriation to fund local match for four road projects
Loading...
Summary
The Campton Hills board voted unanimously to approve an appropriation of motor fuel tax funds as the local match for a federal-aid roadway project covering Brown Road, Denker Road, Town Hall Road and the western section of Hampton Hills Road; construction is scheduled this summer and the total estimated construction cost is about $3.5 million.
Trustees voted unanimously to approve a motor fuel tax appropriation resolution to provide the village’s local match for a federally funded roadway project covering Brown Road, Denker Road, Town Hall Road and the western portion of Hampton Hills Road.
Scott Marcourt of HR Green told the board the project is scheduled for a June letting with construction this July through fall and that approximately 75% of the estimated $3.5 million construction cost will be paid with federal funds obtained through the Kane-Kendall Council of Mayors. Marcourt said the village received about $493,000 in motor fuel tax receipts in 2025 and has unobligated MFT funds sufficient to cover the appropriation being approved.
"This is the local match required for construction funding for the upcoming roadway project," Marcourt said, and noted the village did not obligate MFT funds in 2025 but did receive the season’s receipts.
Trustees pressed staff for clarification of the project totals. Marcourt and staff said the appropriation before the board reflected the estimated MFT contribution; the total estimated construction cost cited during discussion was about $3,500,000, of which roughly $2.7 million is expected to come from federal sources. When a trustee asked whether engineering costs were included, staff confirmed engineering is budgeted separately.
After brief discussion the board called the roll. The transcript records the roll-call responses as: Trustee Mallet (Aye), Trustee Burson (Aye), Trustee Benetti (Aye), Trustee Boatner (Aye), Trustee Hassenberger (Aye) and Trustee Mayer (Aye). The motion passed.
The board’s action directs staff to submit the approved MFT appropriation to the Illinois Department of Transportation to secure the construction funding and proceed with the scheduled letting. No implementation date beyond the summer construction window was given.
