FROM: Robert O. Malm, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Highland Avenue/Randall Road Intersection
Improvements Intergovernmental Agreement
with Kane County
PURPOSE
The purpose of the memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
members of the City Council with information to consider
entering into an Intergovernmental Agreement with Kane County.
BACKGROUND
rft The City of Elgin entered into an agreement with Kane County
in 1981 for joint maintenance of Highland Avenue between
North McLean Boulevard and Randall Road. Please refer to
Exhibit A. The Kane County Highway Department has prepared
plans for permanent signals and pavement improvements for the
intersection of Randall Road and Highland Avenue. These plans
include reconstruction and widening improvements to the
intersection of Highland Avenue and Randall Road covered in
the 1981 agreement.
Kane County, by letter dated June 4, 1997, has requested the
City to pay for energy charges to the new signals and
participate in the roadway design and construction cost per
the 1981 agreement. Please refer to Exhibit B for the June 4,
1997 letter and a copy of the intergovernmental agreement.
The City of Elgin has agreed to accept energy costs at other
Kane County signal installations because, per the ComEd
franchise agreement, the City does not pay for energy to
power traffic signals .
The financial participation, as outlined by the 1981
agreement, requires the City and the County to each pay 50%
of any widening, reconstruction or construction on the east
leg of Highland Avenue.
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
