Item 25-1007 Zoning Amendment from (R3A) Multi-Family and (I) Institutional to (B3) Central
Business, 167 N Kellogg and adjacent parking lot (First Reading)
The Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission recommends rezoning the property at 167 N. Kellogg
Street from R-3A, Multi-Family and I, Institutional to B-3, Central Business. Staff concur with this
recommendation. The applicant, who purchased the property in March 2025, plans to develop a
cabinet showroom on the ground floor and apartments on the second floor, aligning with the
purpose of the B-3 district to foster a mix of uses in the downtown area. The closest B-3 zoning
district is adjacent to the property, and the 2019 Comprehensive Plan indicates this area to be
Downtown Mixed Use.
Item 25-1008 Zoning Amendment from (B1) Neighborhood Business to (B2) General Business,
1120 N Henderson St (First Reading)
The Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission recommends approval to rezone the property at
1120 N. Henderson Street from B-1, Neighborhood Business to B-2, General Business. Staff
concur with this recommendation. The applicant intends to build a car wash on the property,
which is permitted in the B-2 zoning district, designed for businesses drawing customers from
areas beyond the immediate neighborhood in which they may be located. The closest B-2 zoning
district is approximately 185 feet west of the property, and the 2019 Comprehensive Plan
indicates this area to be Regional Commercial, which is equivalent to B-2.

Item 25-4037 Architectural and Engineering Services for HSIP East Main Street Improvements
Staff recommend approval of a preliminary engineering agreement with Terra Engineering for
the E. Main Street Improvement project, which aims to implement a road diet and safety
enhancements between Grand Avenue and Walnut Street, funded in part by a Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP) Grant. Terra Engineering was selected from eleven respondents
based on their experience, proposed approach, and capacity to meet the project schedule. It is
anticipated that it will take 12-18 months in total to complete the Phase I engineering work. The
Phase I preliminary engineering services will cost $607,026, with the grant covering $243,000 and
the City responsible for the remaining $364,026, which will be covered by budgeted funds in 2025
and anticipated funds in the 2026 budget.
Item 25-4038 Minor Plat of the Knight Subdivision, SE corner of Locust Street & Conger Street
The Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission recommend approval of a Minor Plat for the Knight
Subdivision, located at the southeast corner of Conger and Locust Streets. Staff concur with the
recommendation. The current vacant lot is proposed to be divided into two approximately 0.30-
acre lots zoned R-1B for the construction of single-family homes.
Item 25-4039 IDOT Joint Funding Agreement for a Safe Routes to School Project
Staff recommend approval of a Joint Funding Agreement with the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) for a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) project. This project will fund the
installation of new sidewalks and curb ramps on the south side of Fifer Street near Silas Willard
School. This section of Fifer Street leads directly to the Silas Willard School property and currently
has no existing sidewalk for students to use to walk to school. The SRTS grant will cover up to
$235,376 of the estimated $275,178.60 project cost, with the City responsible for the remaining
$39,802.60, which is budgeted in the 2025 City Gas Tax Fund. The project is scheduled for a state
bid letting in June.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Noah Selkirk addressed the Council, stating that he and his friends used the skate park often,
and that he had helped rebuild it several years ago. He expressed concern that the City had
used cheap materials during the rebuild, which has led to the park's current state of disrepair.
Although he no longer skates, he knows that the younger members of the community love the
park just as much as he did and need a safe and functional place to skate. He noted that the
City provides many facilities for residents who play baseball or basketball, and he believes the
skateboarding community deserves the same consideration. He closed by stating that spending
$20,000 to fix the skate park properly with appropriate materials would be a worthwhile
investment.
Sue Hewlett, a member of the pickleball focus group, addressed the Council on behalf of the
pickleball community. She expressed gratitude to the City and Council for moving forward with
the project to build six to eight pickleball courts at Rotary Park. She believes this project will
benefit the growing local pickleball community and attract visitors to Galesburg. She specifically
thanked Cathy Gibson, the new recreation supervisor, for facilitating the opening of Hawthorne
Gym for three pickleball courts, and Parks & Recreation Director Don Miles for soliciting bids for
design plans and maintaining the playing surface at the Bateman courts.
David Selkirk, chairman of the City’s Golf Commission, announced that the American Legion
Baseball will have a golf outing fundraiser on Sunday, May 4th. The cost is $300 for a team of
four, and five spots remain. He noted that Bunker Links is pleased to host many golf outings for
organizations raising money.
Nate Thierry, representing AFSCME Local 1173, addressed the Council and stated that the union
has been engaged in midterm bargaining since September 2024. The union has met with the
City six times to negotiate salary upgrades; however, negotiations are currently at a stalemate.
He stated that the union has provided salary comparables from other cities to demonstrate why
certain positions deserve the same pay, and noted that these cities have comparable
populations to Galesburg. He explained that the City has maintained that the cost of salary
upgrades is too high; however, the Council is being asked to vote on a new Assistant City
Manager position tonight. This new position would potentially start at over $103,000 per year,
while the City maintains they don't have the funding to increase 60 positions. The union
requested that the City Council table the agenda item until more information is available.
Mindy Knapp, a resident of Avon, addressed the Council. She shared that she has been in
Galesburg looking for work and has spent a significant amount of time at the public library and
utilizing the Township's General Assistance. She expressed her passion for helping the homeless
community, emphasizing that they are not ignorant and have contributed to the community
through their work. She offered to meet with anyone after the meeting to discuss these issues.
Ms. Knapp highlighted a major issue: homeless individuals are not allowed to use bathrooms
anywhere in town, despite spending money at local businesses. She also mentioned that the
Public Safety Building does not permit the use of its bathrooms at night.
Mayor Schwartzman stated that he would be happy to meet with Ms. Knapp.
Holly McDorman addressed the Council and stated that over the last couple of years, she has
had the privilege of seeing another side of the community through a Facebook group called We
Are Galesburg, which is a wide, diverse, and wonderful community. She added that she knows
of many people in our community who are afraid in light of current national events. She feels it
is important for Council Members to indicate that they would be a good contact for anyone in
their ward and that they would listen without prejudice. She stated that she wants nothing but
goodness for the community and thinks it would be great for the Council to hear from the
community.
Robert Cain addressed the Council and encouraged them to give serious thought to the
assistant city manager position. He also thanked the Tree Commission and the 350 program,
and added that he would be planting a tree at his home. He expressed appreciation for the
efforts regarding the homeless issue, and stated that there are many organizations that the
homeless don't want to utilize.
Jason Grover addressed the Council and stated that he had an idea similar to the West Main
overpass with the flashing light that lets everyone know there's a red light at the other end. He
would like to see something similar for the Fourth Street Bridge, going west, so that people
were aware there was a train. This would give people the option of turning around instead of
waiting.
Anthony Law addressed the Council and stated that he was very proud of the group of students
he brought with him from Carl Sandburg College, most of whom were international students.
Since August, the students had been keeping track of everything happening in the City. He
thanked everyone present for their representation and leadership. He noted that for many
students, both at Sandburg and Knox, the Council represents the United States of America, and
they call Galesburg home. Law stated that some of the freedoms they share by their
commitment to doing what they believe in are lessons, and that the wonderful thing about
college, especially when in another country, is that most of the lessons people learn happen
outside the classroom. He asked the Council to remember that they represent the USA and
stated that while not everyone will always agree, they should also remember that whatever
they do, someone is always watching.
All matters listed under the Consent Agenda are considered routine by the City Council and will
be enacted by one motion.

Council Member Miller stated that he hopes with this bond issue that the community sees
spectacular things. He added that he travels South Street at night quite a bit and hopes Knox
works on improving lighting to help protect their students.
Council Member White stated that he has lived in Galesburg for over 70 years and has likely
been through Knox College more than anyone else in the building, even students. He is glad that
Knox is moving forward and added that Knox students used to help out at the former
community center, Carver Center. They've always been a great asset to Galesburg, and he’s glad
that he is part of a group that's helping them move forward and continue to grow.
25-1005

baskets as well and that the group is grateful. She added that the City is seeing great traction

Nays: None
Absent: Council Member Carrington, 1.
Chairman declared the motion carried.
City Manager Hanson stated that the City will soon send out information regarding the power
aggregation program. Due to volatile markets and high commodity prices, the rate wasn't ideal.
However, the existing agreement runs through July, and Ameren will bid their base power in
May. The City will notify residents within the next week, although no action is required at this
time. If the Ameren rate exceeds the current aggregation rate, residents will be advised to stay
in the program, and if the Ameren rate is lower, residents will be advised to switch to Ameren.
He explained that the City aims to help residents get the best possible rate, and the aggregation
program offers no financial benefit to the City.
The City Manager also announced that the City is addressing PFAS contamination in the water.
While notices are being sent due to legal requirements, the City is actively working to comply
with regulations and reduce levels. He added that significant progress has been made, with five
out of six PFAS types at zero and one slightly out of compliance. However, the goal is to achieve
compliance sooner than the five-year timeframe given and new test wells are being drilled away
from the river, and the City is committed to proactively addressing this issue to ensure water
quality.
Council Member Cheesman expressed appreciation for the City's communication with residents
on this topic. Mayor Schwartzman acknowledged that residents are receiving other letters from
the community, some with the City's name and logo, which is causing confusion. He reassured
residents that they can always call the City for an explanation and noted that he has been
receiving calls this week as well. He agreed that communication from the City has been
exceptional over the last few years, especially regarding these complicated matters. He
emphasized that the City is taking proactive measures in all areas and trying to do the best for
all citizens.

Classification and Salary Schedule for Exempt employees, which creates the position of Assistant
City Manager — Director of Community Engagement/Public Information Officer (PIO).
Council Member Acerra stated that the Council has seen comments on this item and that she
has been reflecting on it. She thinks this position is very much in line with the City’s Strategic
Plan and some of the needs that the Council outlined. At that time, there was a lengthy
discussion about the importance of doing more to communicate the City’s various service
offerings to both tourists and visitors, as well as the local community. She noted that she does
see the need for this position, but that there may be an opportunity to slow down and make
sure all stakeholders understand the position.

CLOSING COMMENTS
Council Member Dennis stated that since this was his last meeting, he wanted to thank
everyone he has had the pleasure of working with for the past 16 years. He noted that the next
Council Member, Wendell Hunigan, will do a good job. He also thanked Mayor Schwartzman for
their service together and expressed his appreciation to everyone at the City.
Council Member Miller stated that there is a lot of trash, including tires, couches, and leaves,
thrown in the ditches out in the County. Much of it comes from inside the city, and the County
has to clean it up, although the City has trash and refuge pick up that all residents pay for. He
asked that people think before they throw trash out, as it is destroying creeks and other natural
features and noted that water flows between the counties, including Warren and Knox
Counties. He believes that everyone needs to work together to not only beautify Galesburg, but
also take care of the County.
Council Member White encouraged residents to visit the city's website and sign up for
notifications. He emphasized that the website contains a wealth of information about City
Council meetings, commissions, grants, and emergency information. He stated that being
involved and informed is crucial for residents to have a voice and ensure that the Council can
effectively represent their needs and concerns. He expressed gratitude to the City Manager for
his outstanding work under pressure.
Council Member Acerra stated that it has been great working with Council Member Dennis and
that she appreciated his help in her transition to the City Council. She echoed Ms. McDorman’s
comments regarding accessibility, adding that she frequently receives calls from individuals both
within and outside her ward regarding various issues, including streets, sidewalks, and homes in
need of attention, and she enjoys assisting and meeting community members. Over Easter, she
met Derek Barton, a helpful neighbor who spent nearly two hours searching for her
mother-in-law’s dog that had escaped from their home. She also mentioned her role on the
WTVP Public Television board, and noted its valuable programming for our community. WTVP
will hold a volunteer day on Saturday, April 26th, to clean up their tower property on Coal Street
in East Peoria. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact her. Lastly, she announced an
upcoming soccer match between Carl Sandburg and Knox College on Sunday, April 27th, at 11
a.m.
Council Member Cheesman thanked Council Member Dennis, noting that he has been a great
servant to the City in many ways. He mentioned that the next day was Earth Day and that
everyone should do their part to protect the planet, echoing Council Member Miller's
statement. He also stated that while he was not Catholic, he believed that reflecting on the
Pope's death and learning from his wisdom is valuable.
Council Member Cheesman acknowledged the Gale Scholars who were present at the meeting
and mentioned that they had recently completed a mini unit on city government and civic
engagement. He noted that the Gale Scholars program has existed for approximately 30 years
and is intended for first-generation potential college graduates from low-income backgrounds.
The students undergo a rigorous selection process, and if selected, receive a full-tuition
scholarship to Carl Sandburg College and Knox College. He added that the program places high
expectations on the students and that it has been a pleasure to work with them and see them
at the meeting.
He announced that a number of the Council Members are completing their second year of
serving the City, and while they are not perfect, they have accomplished a lot. He looks forward
to listening and working with everyone and finds it a pleasure to talk with residents, whether
it's on the phone or out in public. He closed by saying that Galesburg is a terrific city, and that
there were many accomplishments voted on tonight. He hopes to continue to work together
with everyone and thanked everyone for the honor and privilege of working for the City and its
residents.
Council Member Hix thanked the KCAP group that went to Washington, DC to lobby on the
City’s behalf for important projects. He noted that he had personal experience lobbying many
years ago when he was associated with the Asheville, North Carolina area, and on a lobbying
trip they successfully brought back $4.5 million for their regional airport. He added that, as Mr.
Springer said in his interview, he hopes there are many more trips in the future, with different
groups advocating for different things. He also announced that his daughter Madison will be
getting her master's degree in International Relations in Italy. In closing, he noted that it has
been a pleasure to grow from colleagues to friends with Council Member Dennis, whom he has
sat next to for six years.
Mayor Schwartzman acknowledged that he had worked with Council Member Dennis for 14
years, and that when he joined the Council, he and former Council Member Allen had mentored
him. He stated that Dennis has been part of many successes in Galesburg and that he should
feel good about his accomplishments, adding that he would be missed. The Mayor also thanked
the Gale Scholars who stayed for the entire meeting, noting that being involved in a community
means showing up. He also stated that, as an environmental scientist who has taught at Knox
College for the last 27 years, he wanted to mention Earth Day. He expressed that he wished
Earth was celebrated more than once a year and encouraged everyone to consider what they
could do to make the Earth a better place.
The Mayor also noted that Arbor Day is Friday. He stated that the number of people who have
assisted in Project 350 (now 500), including City staff who have volunteered their time, is a
testament to the community's vitality. He added that a tree will grow over its lifetime, and every
time you pass by it, see it, or come back to visit, you will feel that it is part of your home.
There being no further business, Council Member Dennis moved, seconded by Council Member
Cheesman, to adjourn the meeting at 7:08 p.m.

AGENDA ITEM: Approve disposal of four paratransit vehicles and two fixed route vehicles.
BACKGROUND: The City of Galesburg applies for grants to purchase vehicles for its Public
Transportation system. Once these vehicles reach the end of their useful life and are no longer
mechanically feasible to maintain, Transportation staff seek the necessary approvals to dispose
of them in accordance with IDOT guidelines.
As these vehicles have met either the life expectancy/mileage through IDOT and/or are no longer
mechanically feasible to maintain, Transportation staff are requesting permission from the City
Council to dispose of four paratransit vehicles and two fixed-route Gillig buses. Final approval for
disposal is contingent upon IDOT concurrence. If both the City Council and IDOT approve, the
vehicles will be offered for sale or scrapped if there is no interest in being purchased.
BUDGET IMPACT: If the request is approved, proceeds from the sale or scrap of the vehicles are
required to be placed in a transit holding account for future transit purchases.

AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Amendment from R-3A, Multi-Family to R-1A, Single Family for parcel
identification number 95-33-405-012, commonly known as 3176 Dover Lane.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission held the required
public hearing during their April 22, 2025 meeting. On a vote of 5 ayes (Members Leahy,
Markwart, McKelvie, Paulsgrove, Thomas), zero nays and zero abstentions, the P&Z
recommended approval of the Zoning Amendment. The City Manager and Director of Community
Development concur with the recommendation.
BACKGROUND: The property currently has a single family detached structure, which is allowed
in the multi-family zoning district and there are no proposed changes to the property. The
property owner would like to amend the zoning designation from multi-family to single family.
The purpose of the R-1A District is to provide for low-density, detached single-family residential
development where the permitted uses, lot areas, setbacks and other requirements are designed
to encourage quality residential development.
The closest R-1A zoning district is 716 feet (0.14 miles) to the west of the property. The 2019
Comprehensive Plan indicates this area to be Single Family.
BUDGET IMPACT: There would be no anticipated impact upon the budget if the zoning
amendment is approved.

If the attached Resolution is approved, it would provide for a moratorium of new solar energy
projects for a period of 120 days. This temporary halt would allow time for the review of the
current ordinances and development of new regulations that define the rules of solar
development. The proposed moratorium would not affect projects that have already been
submitted for review and/or received final approvals prior to the enactment date.
The goal is not to prohibit solar energy development but to ensure it proceeds thoughtfully,
balancing the need for renewable energy with the protection of our community's character,
environment, and agricultural economy.
Any new ordinance regulations would be reviewed by the Development Review Committee, then
require a Public Hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission and then be brought before
the City Council for consideration on first and final readings.
BUDGET IMPACT: Revenue from site plan applications and electrical permits would not be
collected during the moratorium.

AGENDA ITEM: Purchase new 1 Ton Heavy Duty cab/chassis for the Water Division.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Public Works Director, Water Superintendent,
Fleet Superintendent and Purchasing Agent recommend that the City Council approve the low and
best from Yemm Chevrolet (Galesburg, IL) in the amount of $52,497 for the purchase of a 2025 RAM
3500 cab/chassis to be utilized by the Water Division.
BACKGROUND: The Water Division utilizes a 2012 Ford F350 truck as part of their daily operations
as well as used to plow snow during the winter months. Although the truck is scheduled to be
replaced this year, this unit is still mechanically sound and will be moved to the Oquawka water
plant, replacing the 2000 Ford F350 used in their daily operations.
In addition to being advertised in the local paper, bid documents were made available on the city
website and provided to dealers known to carry these types of units. Several vendors contacted the
Fleet Superintendent regarding this purchase. The Ford dealers stated the order bank for this size
vehicle would close prior to the City’s approval date, and the Chevrolet and GMC dealers indicated
the manufacturer is having issues supplying this size of truck due to wheel production delays.
Two bids were received as a result of this request: Yemm Chevrolet (Galesburg, IL) and Victory Lane
Ford (Litchfield, IL). Yemm Chevrolet provided the low and best bid for this purchase offering a 2025
RAM 3500 in the amount of $52,497. Additionally, the 2000 Ford F350 was offered as a possible
trade for this purchase, but neither vendor chose to utilize the trade in option.
If approved, a separate bid will be issued to purchase and install the dump body and snowplow onto
the cab/chassis. The lead time for the cab/chassis is approximately 5 – 7 weeks from order date.
Once the cab/chassis is received from the dealer, it will be delivered to an upfitter to fabricate and
install the dump body and snowplow. Once the new unit is complete and put into service, the 2000
Ford F350 will be sold using Purple Wave Online Auction.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds in the Water Division’s budget for this purchase.
25-3013
AGENDA ITEM: Purchase new 4x2 Heavy Duty cab/chassis for Water Division.
BACKGROUND: The Water Division utilizes a 2015 Ford F550XL service truck as a front-line truck
for the division on any repairs or installations of new water main materials and is heavily used in
daily operations. This unit has reached its useful life and in need of replacement.
In addition to being advertised in the local paper, bid documents were made available on the city
website and provided to dealers known to carry these types of units. Several vendors contacted
the Fleet Superintendent regarding this purchase. The Ford dealers stated the order bank for this
size vehicle would close prior to the City’s approval date, and the Chevrolet and GMC dealers
indicated the manufacturer is having issues supplying this size of truck due to wheel production
delays.
Victory Lane Ford provided the only bid for this purchase for a 2025 RAM 5500 cab/chassis in the
amount of $57,518 and offered $18,000 for the trade in of the 2015 F550 XL service truck, for a
total amount of $39,518 for the purchase. If approved, a separate bid will be issued to purchase
and install the service body onto the cab/chassis. The lead time for the cab/chassis is
approximately 60-120 days from order. Once the cab/chassis is received from the dealer, it will
be delivered to an upfitter to fabricate and install the service body. The service truck being traded
will be surrendered once the new unit is complete and put into service.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds in the Water Division’s budget for this purchase.

AGENDA ITEM: Preliminary engineering agreement for the E. Main Street Improvement project.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Public Works recommend
approval of the preliminary engineering agreement with Terra Engineering for the E. Main Street
Improvement project.
BACKGROUND: The City recently received a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Grant
for a project to implement a road diet and make safety improvements to E. Main Street between
Grand Avenue and Walnut Street. The HSIP grant provides funding to address roadways that
have a high number of crashes and specifically prioritizes projects that will protect vulnerable
road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists. E. Main Street is currently five lanes wide, has a
significant number of crashes each year, and has inadequate pedestrian accommodations and no
bicycle accommodations. It is proposed reduce the number of traffic lanes to three lanes with
one lane in each direction and a center turn lane. This will serve to both reduce the number of
crashes that occur in this corridor and provide additional space within the right of way to add
pedestrian and bicycle accommodations.
The first step in the development of the project is to complete Phase I of the preliminary
engineering work. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was advertised in the Register Mail, on the
City’s website, and sent out to design firms that perform the services needed for the project. The
City received eleven (11) responses to the request. The eleven responses received were
independently reviewed and ranked by a committee consisting of the Public Works Director,
Project Manager, and Purchasing Agent. The committee met and reviewed the individual
rankings and discussed which firm was most qualified to perform the services for the project.
Terra Engineering was selected based on their prior experience on similar projects, their
proposed approach to the work, and their capability to meet the project schedule.
Following selection, Terra Engineering provided a proposal for their services in the amount of
$607,026 for the Phase I preliminary engineering work. The HSIP grant will cover $243,000 of
the engineering costs and the City will be responsible for the remaining $364,026 in engineering
costs. There is $270,000 budgeted in the 2025 budget for this project in the Grant fund and the
MFT fund which will cover the engineering work that will occur in 2025. It is anticipated that it
will take 12-18 months in total to complete the Phase I engineering work. The additional funds
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
needed for the engineering work to be completed in 2026 will be included in the 2026 budget
using a portion of the City’s annual allotment of Federal STU funds. City staff recommend
approval of the preliminary engineering agreement with Terra Engineering in the amount of
$607,026.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds budgeted for the City’s share of the engineering
costs in 2025 from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund (Fund 11) and Grant Fund (Fund 13). Additional
funds will be budgeted in the 2026 budget for the remaining engineering work to be completed
next year.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Exhibit A - Scope
The Scope of Work will consist of Phase I engineering for the improvement of East Main Street from
Grand Avenue to Walnut Street. The roadway, including sidewalk, curb and gutter, and pavement, is to
be reconstructed as a road diet, reducing the number of lanes from five to three. TERRA will investigate
whether portions of the existing pavement base can be reutilized to reduce construction cost. A shared-
use path will be installed on at least one side of the roadway. The design will be developed in
accordance with the IDOT Bureau of Local Roads and Streets manual. The project may be constructed
simultaneously with the adjacent IDOT roadway project to the west. The traffic signals at the Michigan
Avenue and Farnham Avenue intersections are to be evaluated for warrants and reconstructed.
The proposed design is intended to match into the existing condition at Walnut Street and into IDOT’s
proposed condition at Grand Avenue. The Grand Avenue intersection is under IDOT jurisdiction. East of
Walnut Street, East Main Street is under IDOT jurisdiction as it enters the I-74 interchange.
The logical terminus for the shared-use path at the east end of the project is to be determined.

AGENDA ITEM: Joint Funding Agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
for the Safe Routes to School project.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Public Works recommend
approval of the Joint Funding Agreement with IDOT.
BACKGROUND: The City received a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant to fund sidewalk
improvements on Fifer Street near Silas Willard School. The scope of the project includes
installing new sidewalk and curb ramps along the south side of Fifer Street between Willard
Street and Morton Avenue. This section of Fifer Street leads directly to the Silas Willard School
property and currently has no existing sidewalk for students to use to walk to school.
The proposed joint funding agreement with IDOT provides federal SRTS grant funding for up to
$235,376 in project construction costs. The total estimated cost of the project is $275,178.60.
The City is responsible for the balance of the cost of the project, estimated to $39,802.60. The
project is scheduled to go to a State bid letting in June.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds in the 2025 budget for this work from the City Gas
Tax Fund (Fund 11)

part 26. The LPA shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award
and administration of USDOT - assisted contracts. The LPA's DBE program, as required by 49 CFR part 26 and as approved by
USDOT, is incorporated by reference in this agreement. Upon notification to the recipient of its failure to carry out its approved
program, the STATE may impose sanctions as provided for under Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for
enforcement under 18 U.S. C 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C 3801 et seq.). In the
absence of a USDOT - approved LPA DBE Program or on STATE awarded contracts, this agreement shall be administered
