Committee approves request to start motor-fuel tax appropriation process for Kerner Road resurfacing
Summary
Peoria County committee approved a resolution to request a motor-fuel tax appropriation to fund a mill-and-overlay resurfacing of a three-mile stretch of Kerner Road; staff said bid letting would follow later this year with construction expected in 2027.
Peoria County staff presented a resolution seeking a motor-fuel tax appropriation to support a mill-and-overlay resurfacing of a three-mile stretch of Kerner Road that connects Route 8 and U.S. 150. Amy (speaker 4), introducing the item, told the committee this is the administrative step needed to begin paperwork with the motor-fuel tax process and that staff expect a bid letting later this year with construction planned in 2027.
"This is a resolution requesting motor fuel tax appropriation of 1 point, $25,000,000 for the Millen Overlay resurfacing of Kerner Road," Amy said, describing the project as a heavily trafficked connector between two state routes. Chair (speaker 2) called for the motion and noted the committee would vote after discussion. The motion was seconded and the chair later stated the vote was unanimous.
The presentation did not include a separate funding breakdown beyond the appropriation request or a project ordinance number; staff indicated the motor-fuel tax appropriation process can be lengthy and that the committee's approval would allow staff to start paperwork. The committee did not list individual roll-call votes in the record; the chair reported unanimous approval.
