Motor Fuel Tax, or MFT, Dollars have been frozen for over a month now, but now the county is waiting on IDOT to unfreeze them. 

At Thursday night's DeWitt County Board Meeting, Highway Engineer Mark Mathon told the Board that Township MFT General Maintenance was advertised in the State Bulletin over the last two weeks, meaning the next window for bids will take place before September's Board Meeting. The County made a motion to allow Road & Bridge Committee Chair Jamie Prestegaard to award the bid without conferring with the full board. 

The board voted in favor, with on abstention, in favor of the motion to allow Presegaard to award the bids. The bids will be for materials and work to be done in townships throughout DeWitt County.
