Staff Summary

•                     Surface Transportation Program-Counties (STP-C): SFY2009 Advance Funding Proposal (Conceptual Approval).

•                     Federal STP-C funds are programmed by the counties of Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will.

•                     Lake County DOT staff serves as the County Programmer to coordinate among the counties, IDOT and CMAP.

•                     The counties generally accumulate an IDOT STP-C program balance to construct projects.

•                     With the upcoming expiration of SAFETEA-LU on 9/30/09, any balances might be subject to recessions and thus permanently lost, and advance funding is used to avoid this possibility.

•                     Lake and Will County have balances while Kane County has a federally eligible project ready for the April letting.

•                     If the concept is approved, Lake County DOT will draft the intergovernmental agreement among the 3 counties.
