BACKGROUND The State of Illinois passed legislation dated 9-16-92 cited as the Illinois Adopt-A-Highway Act. This program allows private citizens to support local anti-litter efforts by allowing groups to adopt a section of highway for the purpose of litter collection. The City was contacted by the Zonta Club of Elgin. They proposed adopting Route 58, from Hiawatha Drive to the east City Limits. An agreement with IDOT is required and a copy is attached for your consideration. The Mayor' s signature is required on behalf of the City. An agreement between the City and the Zonta Club of Elgin is also attached for consideration. This agreement requires the signature of the City Manager. The Adopt-A-Highway program has been successful in Illinois, as well as throughout many states in the nation. Such a program would greatly improve the quality of life in our community. This is the fifth agreement to be processed per the attached summary sheet which provides a status report on the overall program in Elgin. i ri` MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL July 20, 1994 Page 2 The City will be obligated to install signs at each end of the adopted section with the name of the group displayed.
