ITEM SUMMARY:
On February 17, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 25-R-0004 Resolution for Maintenance Under the
Illinois Highway Code (BLR 14220) and Local Public Agency General Maintenance — Estimate of Maintenance
Costs (BLR 14222) authorizing the use of State Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds in the amount of $175,000.00 for
streetlight energy charges and solid waste disposal, which is considered general maintenance for FY 2025. Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT) subsequently approved and authorized the use of the MFT funds for FY
2025. In FY 2025, the City categorized general maintenance as street lighting energy charges, street sweeping,
solid waste disposal, as well as maintaining streets, highways, and rights-of-way under the applicable provisions of
the Illinois Highway Code and necessary IDOT requirements.
At the end of each fiscal year, IDOT also requires the City to submit the Local Public Agency General Maintenance
— Maintenance Expenditure Statement (BLR 14222), which summarizes the actual amount of MFT funds expended
for the year. In FY 2025, the State MFT funds were utilized for street light energy charges in the amount of
$117,674.75 and for solid waste disposal in the amount of $14,677.81, for an amount totaling $132,352.56.
Enclosed is the Local Public Agency General Maintenance — Maintenance Expenditure Statement (BLR 14222) for
FY 2025. Although municipalities are not required to pass a Resolution to terminate the use of MFT funds for
general maintenance purposes at the end of each year, it is a good financial practice to document the actual
expenditures of the MFT funds each year.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 26-R-0007 authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute the Local Public Agency
General Maintenance — Maintenance Expenditure Statement (BLR 14222) for submittal to the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) for final approval for the use of Motor Fuel Tax funds during Fiscal Year 2025.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Infrastructure Committee voted 5-0 for approval.
