Mount Carmel council approves $220,292 MFT package for road work
Summary
The Mount Carmel City Council approved Resolution 719 to spend $220,292 in Motor Fuel Tax funds on local road projects, a package the mayor said was smaller than last year’s allocation. Council approved the measure by roll call after brief budget remarks.
The Mount Carmel City Council voted to approve Resolution 719, authorizing $220,292 in Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) spending for local road projects. Mayor Turner said the package was approved by the state and asked the council to adopt it so work can proceed.
The measure was introduced during the council’s regular meeting after a brief discussion of the city budget. Turner said water‑plant and water‑line costs have pushed overall departmental spending above budget and noted that the MFT amount is less than last year’s allocation.
A motion to approve Resolution 719 was made and seconded; the council then took a roll‑call vote. Commissioners recorded affirmative votes and the resolution passed. No amendments or conditions were recorded during the discussion.
The resolution funds routine road work and smaller projects the council described as necessary maintenance; council members indicated some priority work on Cherry Street and other local streets. The city clerk confirmed the packet included the state approval for the MFT distribution.
The council did not set an immediate construction start date in the meeting; follow‑up on scheduling and specific project lists were left to staff.
