regarding the need for the project will be recorded. A notice of the public hearing must
be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the vicinity of the proposed
project(s) approximately 30 days in advance of the hearing. The notice must describe
the project(s) in sufficient detail to allow the public to be aware of the projects and
funding sources.
DISCUSSION:
The request of the resolution complies with the requirement of the Consolidated Transit
Funding Application.
REQUESTED ACTION:
I respectfully request City Council adopt the attached resolution setting a public hearing
for June 17, 2024 regarding the Jule's IDOT Consolidated Funding Application. IDOT is
