DISCUSSION
1. Discussion on the 2009 MFT Resolution for Rock Salt in the amount of $195,000.00
Trustee Gaffino questioned the price of the Rock Salt. Mike Glock said that the dollar amount is high however the Village will only pay for the amount of rock salt that is used. Price of the rock salt is $68/ton. Trustee Herlihy asked what happens to the rest of the MFT funds if the Village does not spend $195,000. Bill Hannah said that the resolution covers the remaining of this fiscal year and the first part of next fiscal year, as far as needing IDOT approval to use MFT funds for this purpose. This is a blanket authorization to use IDOT funds. Trustee Gaffino asked why the Village is pricing this at $195,000.00. Glock said this was put together last year in case the Village needed more rock salt and the price was not changed from last year’s resolution. Trustee Herlihy asked if the Village is limited to the total dollar cost or to units and rates. Glock said the Village is limited to the units (1500 tons). Hannah said he would work with Glock and change the resolution to reflect the correct dollar amount. New Business.
