Re: Traffic Signal Agreement
Camp. McDonald Road at Schoenbeck Road
Section: 90-A5815-12-WR
Dear Mayor Farley:
This letter of agreement is to bind the Village of Mount Prospect
(herein'after called Village) and the County of Cook (here after
called County) to sharing the cost of the maintenance and energy
charge of a permanent traffic signal system to be installed at the
intersection of Camp McDonald Road and Schoenbeck Road.
The County's intent is to construct a fully actuated traffic signal
system with a push button pedestrian signal for the school
'crosswalks. OPTICOM can be included in the traffic signal system
at the request of the Village, with the entire cost to be borne by
the Village and the City of Prospect Heights.
The County will thereupon design and install the traffic signal
system, cause it to be maintained and energized and be responsible
for settings and timings.
It is the policy of the County, that at intersections of County
highways and municipal streets, the municipal corporation is to
bear a share of the signal's maintenance and operational costs.
This share is represented by the relative number of approaches to
the intersection for which the municipal corporation is responsible
with respect to the total number of approaches.

(This share is estimated at $250).
2. Assume twenty five percent (25%) of the electrical energy
charges, payable to Commonwealth Edison Company in

$100) .
