Board approves $170,000 MFT resolution to start road work; park work deferred
Summary
Village Engineer Tom Obermeyer presented a motor-fuel-tax resolution for $170,000 to fund roadway maintenance between Ross Lane and 14th Street; board approved the MFT portion while park-adjacent work will return next month for local funding.
The Tilton village board approved a resolution to use $170,000 of motor fuel tax (MFT) funds for specified road maintenance, while reserving park-area work for a later, non‑MFT funding request.
Village Engineer Tom Obermeyer (speaker 3) described the MFT scope — primarily work between Ross Lane and 14th Street — and said the local park repairs would not be covered under the MFT appropriation. "I wanna approve the 170 so we can get MFG going," he said, asking the board to authorize the state submittal and initial contract steps. The board voted to approve the MFT resolution; staff will bring the non‑MFT park portion back for separate consideration next month.
The MFT resolution was presented under the Illinois highway code and is intended to allow the village to secure state approvals and move to contracting stages for the road segments identified on the submitted maps. The board confirmed that any additional shoulder or park loop work will be priced separately and considered when local funds are identified.
