ITEM SUMMARY:

The Winfield Township Road District (District) has the duty and responsibility to reasonably maintain all
unincorporated public roadways within Winfield Township, and the City of West Chicago (City) has the
duty and responsibility to reasonably maintain all public roadways within the corporate limits of the City.

Following the annexation of the Trillium Farms Subdivision, jurisdiction of Purnell Road is now split
between the City and the District. The City maintains approximately 2,700 feet from Gary’s Mill Road to
the southern limits of the subdivision, while the District maintains approximately 4,100 feet from that point
to Winfield Road.

In 2023, as part of the development of Trillium Farms Subdivision, Pulte Homes resurfaced Purnell Road
(~1,200 feet) between Gary’s Mill Rd and Trillium Drive. The District intends to resurface its portion of
Purnell Road in summer of 2026 and approached the City to determine interest in resurfacing the
remaining portion of Purnell Road (~1,500 feet) between Trillium Drive and southern limits of the Trillium
Farms Subdivision. The estimated cost of the City’s portion  is $145,500, of which $135,000  is for
construction and $10,500 is for engineering. The final cost of the City’s portion will be determined at the
completion of the project. Under the proposed intergovernmental agreement (IGA), the City would
participate in resurfacing approximately 1,500 feet of roadway at an estimated cost of $145,500.

The 2025 Pavement Condition Index  (PCI) study  did not capture  Purnell Road; however,  staff
recommends completing  this work  in coordination with the  District’s project to take advantage of
economies of scale and avoid higher standalone costs in the future. This project was not specifically
budgeted; however, there are enough savings available in fund 08-34-53-4225 to absorb this expense.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 26-R-0037 authorizing the Mayor to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement
between the Winfield Township Road District and the City of West Chicago for cost participation related
to the Purnell Road Resurfacing Project.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

The Infrastructure Committee voted 6-0 for approval.
