The Morris City Council approved a change order Monday that put $250,000 back into the city budget after the Illinois Route 47 lighting project came in cheaper than expected.
The project was originally awarded to Utility Dynamic for $1.59 million, and it added lighting from Illinois Avenue to Benton Street along Illinois Route 47.
The bid had already come in lower than expected in the first place, originally expected at $1.83 million.
The council also approved a change order on the new public works building that put $3,600 back into the city budget.
The public works building, which opened in Fall 2025, cost $5.25 million and replaced a more than 50-year-old building.
