manner not prohibited by law or by ordinance and may use their credit, revenues, and other
resources to pay costs related to intergovernmental activities; and,
WHEREAS, the Communities of Oswego, Yorkville, and Montgomery have reviewed
the roadways and adjacent areas under each of their respective jurisdictions and have determined

Section 1. The foregoing preambles are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if

and Montgomery's Director of Public Works hereinafter individually referred to as "MDPW") to
coordinate with one another on an "as needed" basis, with regard to the services required to the
Roadways such as mowing, snowplowing, jetting, leaf collection or such other maintenance as
deemed necessary to improve the use and safety thereof and jointly determine which
Community's public works employees are better able to provide the needed service. The ODPW
YDPW, and MDPW shall agree and advise each other of the date and time such services are to
be provided. In the event that none of the Communities are able to assist at any given time, all
services to the Roadways shall be the responsibility of the Community having jurisdiction over
