� PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM NO. 2010-41 DATE: July 26, 2010 TO: Honorable Mayor McElroy and City Council FROM: Ryan P. McCrady, City Manager Richard G. Marley, P.E., Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Resolution Appropriating Motor Fuel Tax Funds for Street Improvements SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution appropriating $800,000 in Motor Fuel T�(MFT) funds for the proposed 2010 Street Restoration project, City Project 2010-OS, and that the Mayor be authorized to sign said resolution, and the City Clerk to attest. PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: Each year the City Council appropriates MFT funds for street improvement work. MFT funds are allocated for street improvement work as part of the Fiscal Year 2010 - 2011 Capital Improvement Plan. BACKGROUND: Motor Fuel Taxes are levied and collected by the State of Illinois; funds are allocated to local agencies and are administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT). The City is required to adopt a resolution specifying the allocation of MFT funds to their intended project. IDOT must receive an MFT appropriation before they will approve project specifications. This resolution appropriates $800,000 in MFT funds for the City's proposed 2010 Mill and Overlay project, City Project 2010-08. The Mill and Overlay project is part of the annual maintenance program that generally consists of milling off a portion of an existing asphalt street surface and placing a new asphalt concrete surface course in order to restore the integrity of the street surface. This year's project includes concrete patching to repair deteriorated joints in the pavement substructure on the streets scheduled for mill and overlay. The project also includes installing chip seal treatments on some non-curb and gutter streets in the City. The proposed street list is as follows: Page � 1
