 Resolution 17-18 – A Resolution approving an extension to an Intergovernmental

    Agreement between the County of Kankakee, City of Kankakee, City of Momence,

    Village of Bourbonnais, Village of Bradley, and the Village of Manteno for the promotion

    of tourism. This is an extension of the agreement that the village approved several

    months ago. All of the other government bodies have not approved this agreement by

    the deadline of March 31, 2018. This extension will be until October 31, 2018. This

    allows the KCCVB to continue to operate as normal.

 With the melting snow from Saturday and rain today, the village has a few street

    closures due to high standing water. All residents need to be careful and obey the signs

    and not drive around the road barriers.
