Engineer Walker will present more pictures, but to give an idea, so the Committee can see a lot more being built out there. It is going well and no big surprises or cost overruns yet.

Cardinal Point Wind Development Update

Engineer Walker said the Townships have got their post construction checks. The other part of the project is putting in culverts now, probably at the end of May they will start and by June be turning those over to the townships. McDonough and Warren County have not received their checks yet.

Rebuild Illinois

Capital bill pushed through, there was a second component to that and it was selling a dispensing to local agencies of bonds and there was $1.5 billion worth of bonds set aside and the bonds were supposed to be sold $500 million dollars a year in two different intervals and those proceeds would be dispensed to all the local agencies by the MFT formula. So, basically, we will be getting six checks over the next three years out of those proceeds, us and the townships.
