FROM: Dan Feltman, New Development Coordinator
DATE: June 8, 2016
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Engineering Agreement between the City of Aurora and V3 Companies for Phase I Engineering Services for the Eola Road Extension to U.S. Rte. 30.
PURPOSE:
To obtain authorization to execute an agreement with V3 Companies for Phase I Engineering Services for the Eola Road Extension to U.S. Rte. 30.
