Title
A Resolution Approving an Amendment to Extend the Local Public Agency Agreement for Federal Participation to Conduct Further Study of the Cap the Ike Project and Authorizing its Execution
End
Overview
Overview
In 2006 the Village entered into an agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for a federally funded preliminary engineering study for the original Cap the Ike preliminary engineering study which was amended in 2015 to extend the ending date of the agreement until 2019. Since IDOT has still not approved the new feasibility study for the Cap the Ike project the existing old agreement must be amended to extend the date again or the funds will be lost.

Recommendation
Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
There are no fiscal impacts to amending this agreement to extend the original Cap the Ike study.

Alternatives
The alternative to this recommendation could be to delay action to gain additional information.
