Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to grant a 25-year, 20' x 280' non-exclusive easement to the City of Evanston for the continued operation, maintenance, repair, and removal of a 48-inch storm sewer through District North Shore Channel Parcel 2.13 located south of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad and east of the North Shore Channel in Evanston, Illinois.

Body
Dear Sir:
On July 6, 1989, the District granted a 25-year easement to the City of Evanston ("Evanston") for the operation, maintenance and removal of a 48-inch storm sewer through District North Shore Channel Parcel 2.13 located south of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad and east of the North Shore Channel in Evanston, Illinois. The subject easement expires on July 9, 2014.
Evanston has requested a new 25-year easement to continue operating the storm sewer. The District's technical departments have no objections to granting the easement for the continued operation of the sewer. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as Evanston is a municipal agency operating the storm sewer for a public purpose.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it grant a 25-year, 20' x 280' non-exclusive easement to the City of Evanston for the continued operation, maintenance, repair, and removal of a 48-inch storm sewer through District North Shore Channel Parcel 2.13 located south of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad and east of the North Shore Channel in Evanston, Illinois. Consideration shall be $10.00
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute the easement agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:BEB
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos Chairman, Committee on Real Estate Development
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for April 3, 2014
