The Public Works Department maintains all of the traffic signals within the City and is reimbursed <br /> by IDOT for work completed on State routes. The reimbursement cost share between the City and <br /> the State is generally broken down based on the ownership of the approaching roads, i.e. the traffic <br /> signals located at the intersection of Pershing and Main are reimbursed at 100%by the State since <br /> all four of the approaching roadways are owned by the State. An intersection such as Eldorado and <br /> Martin Luther King is reimbursed 50-50 since the City owns Martin Luther King and the State owns <br /> Eldorado,or half of the intersection. <br /> The Master Agreement governs the reimbursement of all the traffic signal maintenance work the <br /> City does on traffic signals located on State routes. <br /> Revision to the Agreement <br /> Earlier this year, the City completed the installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Boyd <br /> Road and Illinois Route 48 (see the attached map). The revision to the Agreement adds this <br /> intersection to the list of traffic signals in the City that are located on State routes. The City will be <br /> reimbursed for 50%of the maintenance and electrical costs at this intersection since half of the <br /> approaching roadways are owned by the State. <br /> SCHEDULE: <br /> The State has inspected and accepted the traffic signals at Boyd Road and Illinois Route 48. The <br /> reimbursement will begin upon the City's approval of this revision. <br /> BUDGET AND STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: <br /> Budget Impact: The City typically receives $25,000 - $30,000 from the State each year for the <br /> maintenance of traffic signals located on State routes. These funds are deposited in the City's <br /> Motor Fuel Tax fund. <br /> Staffing Impact: Staff time has been allocated for maintenance of traffic signals. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Illinois Department of Transportation <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard G.
