Overview

Overview

The Village receives a monthly distribution of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The Illinois Highway Code requires that each municipality receiving MFT funds use those funds for the limited purposes described in the Highway Code.  This item is for those approved uses related to the costs of labor and materials for construction and maintenance of the public right of way. The Village is required to adopt a Resolution that obligates its share of MFT funds to one or more of the approved purposes set forth in the Highway Code.

Recommendation

Recommendation

Approve the Resolution.

 

Fiscal Impact

The Fiscal Year 2022 Budget provides for an expenditure of $1,413,491.00 based on the expected MFT revenue funds in 2022. The Resolution for this item provides for the approval of the $1,413,491.00 of MFT funds for maintenance purposes.

 

The balance of the MFT funds may be used for the Village local share of other Federally funded street improvements.

 

Background

The “Estimate of Maintenance Costs” attachment itemizes approved uses of $1,413,491.00 in Motor Fuel Tax funds. The attachment proposes using the funds for salaries and overtime related to public works operations in the public right of way, the purchase of salt and electricity for street lighting as described more fully in the Attachment.
