Board weighs costs for state-approved sign; MFT funds could be used
Summary
Board members discussed costs and permitting for a state-approved sign and whether Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds should be used; a member said any emergency street spending would be limited to under $500,000 and the board will await engineering and quotes before deciding.
Board members discussed a state-approved sign project and whether Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds could be applied. A committee member (speaker 4) said the sign appeared to be eligible for MFT funding but the village might choose not to spend its MFT allocation on the project.
The board agreed to await an engineering estimate and a quoted cost from Willard Hoffman before deciding. One member noted that any emergency spending for roads would "be limited to less than a $500,000," signaling fiscal caution as the budget cycle begins.
Members also discussed IDOT permitting and standard traffic-design requirements for the sign; no procurement or funding decision was made, and the board deferred a final call pending cost and engineering information.
