RESOLUTION URGING PASSAGE OF A
COMPREHENSIVE CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, passing a comprehensive Capital Infrastructure Program in the 2009 Legislative Session is
critical to Illinois; and
WHEREAS, ten years have passed since the Illinois General Assembly and Governor last passed and
signed into law a comprehensive Capital Infrastructure Program; and
WHEREAS, local communities are facing the problem of maintaining their roadways, bridges, water
systems and sewer systems to meet growing needs; and
WHEREAS, units of local government have responsibility for over 88% of the public roads; and
WHEREAS, Motor Fuel Tax Allocations for municipal, county and lownship roads and bridges are
only 10% higher than they were eight years ago, yet the cost of construction on local roads is 90% higher during
that same time frame; and
WHEREAS, the Motor Fuel Tax has not been changed since it was raised to 19 cents a gallon in 1990;
and after expenses are removed the balance of the 19 cent Motor Fuel Tax is distributed as follows: 45.6% to
the state, 26.7 % to municipalities; 19.1% to counties; and 8.6% to townships; and
WHEREAS, it is critical that local governments receive their fair share and are treated equitably in any
capital bill; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mayor and City Council of the United City of
Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, that the Illinois Municipal League and all units of local government believe
it is imperative that a comprehensive capital infrastructure bill be passed in 2009; and that local governments
receive an equitable share of such capital infrastructure program.
