Marley, P.E., Public Works Director <br /> SUBJECT: Resolutions Appropriating Motor Fuel Tax Funds for Street Improvements <br /> City Project 2016-08 and City Project 2016-11 <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolutions authorizing the Mayor <br /> to sign and the City Clerk to attest to the following items related to 2016 Street Improvement <br /> Projects: <br /> 1. Resolution appropriating $1,220,000 in State Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds for the <br /> proposed 2016 Street Restoration project, City Project 2016-08. <br /> 2. Resolution appropriating $300,000 in State Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds for the proposed <br /> 2016 Concrete Street Improvement project, City Project 2016-11. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> Each year the City Council appropriates State MFT funds for street improvement work. State <br /> MFT funds are allocated for street improvement work as part of the Fiscal Year 2016 Capital <br /> Improvement Plan. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> State Motor Fuel Taxes are levied and collected by the State of Illinois; funds are allocated to local <br /> agencies and are administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT). The City is <br /> required to adopt a resolution specifying the allocation of State MFT funds to their intended <br /> projects. IDOT must receive an MFT appropriation before they will approve project plans and <br /> specifications. <br /> Proposed 2016 Asphalt Street Improvement <br /> The first resolution appropriates $1,220,000 in State MFT funds for asphalt street work for the <br /> proposed 2016 Street Restoration project, City Project 2016-08. The Street Restoration project is <br /> part of the annual maintenance program that generally consists of milling off a portion of an <br /> existing asphalt street surface and placing a new asphalt concrete surface course that restores the <br /> integrity of the street surface. The 2016 project will perform mill and overlay work on portions of <br /> Mound Road and Jasper Street. <br /> Page � 1 <br />
