Steger trustees hear about Cook County-only motor fuel tax authority; item moved to board
Summary
Mayor Joyce explained an Illinois law letting non‑home‑rule municipalities in Cook County impose up to three cents per gallon for road work; trustees voted to move consideration of adopting the authority to the next regular Village Board meeting.
Mayor Joyce briefed the Committee on recent state legislation that allows non‑home‑rule municipalities in Cook County to impose a motor fuel tax of up to three cents per gallon to fund road maintenance. She noted Steger currently has no gas stations located in Cook County but said the authority could be relevant if new stations open or circumstances change.
Trustee Perchinski moved to advance consideration of adopting Motor Fuel Tax Authority to the regular Village Board meeting; Trustee Stewart seconded and the voice vote carried. No decision to adopt the tax was taken at Committee; the matter was advanced for formal consideration by the full board.
