Summary

The board voted to adopt a three-cent Motor Fuel Tax and amended the motion to designate the revenue for infrastructure uses, with legal counsel warning that funds must be used only for statutorily allowed purposes.

At the Feb. 4 meeting the Village of Maywood Board of Trustees approved a proposal to implement a three-cent Motor Fuel Tax. Trustee Brandon moved to adopt the 3-cent increase; after an amendment the board designated the revenue for infrastructure projects. Village Attorney Michael Jurusik advised trustees that Motor Fuel Tax revenue must be used for statutorily permitted purposes and urged the board to follow applicable state rules.

The board’s recorded action authorizes staff to proceed under the State of Illinois program (per the attorney’s guidance), with the 3 cents collected to be earmarked for infrastructure work rather than general expense. The motion carried with all trustees voting in favor as recorded in the minutes.

Next steps: Staff will pursue implementation under state procedures and incorporate the revenue into future infrastructure planning, subject to statutory restrictions described by legal counsel.
