SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the appropriation of $48,103.30 of MFT Funds for the Galena Boulevard from Locust St to Ohio St Interconnect Project.
PURPOSE:
This is a Resolution to appropriate additional Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds as required by the Illinois Highway Code for Section 08-00270-00-TL.
BACKGROUND:
This is an older project that provided for Signal Interconnection on Galena Boulevard from Locust St to Ohio St. Construction was completed circa 2011 utilizing CMAQ federal funds, MFT, and other local sources. During the City's recent MFT Audit (now known as a Documentation / Compliance Review), it was noted that not enough MFT funds had been appropriated to the project.
DISCUSSION:
City Council originally approved $98,500.00 to be spent on GC61 (Locust to Ohio Signal Interconnect) out of the MFT account. The final share out of MFT was $146,603.30. Therefore, the difference ($48,103.30) needs to be officially appropriated. The project has been completed and money spent out of the MFT account, this is a paperwork exercise with IDOT.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please forward this to Finance Committee for approval.
