The <br /> City is required to adopt a resolution specifying the allocation of MFT funds to their intended <br /> project. IDOT must receive an MFT appropriation before they will approve project <br /> specifications. <br /> This resolution appropriates $2,200,000 in MFT funds for the City's proposed 2009 Street <br /> Restoration project, City Project 09-08. The Street Restoration project is part of the annual <br /> maintenance program that generally consists of milling off a portion of the e�sting asphalt street <br /> surface and placing a new asphalt concrete surface course in order to restore the integrity of the <br /> street surface. Some of the streets on this year's list will be reconstructed with a cement <br /> stabilized base and asphalt overlay. A proposed street restoration list is attached. <br /> City Engineering anticipates advertising for bids in May and should bring the project to the City <br /> Council for a project award in June. <br /> Page � 1 <br />
