ITEM SUMMARY:
The Winfield Township Road District has the duty and responsibility to maintain all unincorporated public
rights-of-way and roadways within Winfield Township, and the City of West Chicago has the duty and
responsibility to maintain all public rights-of-way and roadways within the corporate limits of the City. On
February 15, 2016, the City, pursuant to Resolution No. 16-R-0011, entered into an Intergovernmental
Agreement with the Winfield Township Road District for the right-of-way maintenance of Town Road,
south of Roosevelt Road. The Winfield Township Road District had been maintaining the Purnell Road
right-of-way, between Gary's Mill Road and approximately 350 feet south of White Oak Drive. Upon
annexation into the City, the Winfield Township Road District has expressed a desire to continue to
provide right-of-way maintenance along said section of Purnell Road right-of-way. Right-of-way
maintenance operations will include, but are not limited to, the salting and plowing of Purnell Road to
remove snow and ice from the pavement, mowing and tree and brush removal operation of the public
right-of-way adjacent to Purnell Road, and other necessary and appurtenant work. The snow and ice
removal is addressed under Resolution No. 23-R-0074. The City will retain the responsibility of
performing and financing major pavement and right-of-way reconstruction/rehabilitation improvements of
Purnell Road, between Gary’s Mill Road and approximately 350 feet south of White Oak Drive. To clarify
the purpose, intent, and responsibilities of each agency for right-of-way maintenance, the District and the
City have prepared the attached amended Intergovernmental Agreement.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 23-R-0073 authorizing the Mayor to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement
between the Winfield Township Road District and the City of West Chicago for right-of-way maintenance
operations.
