COMMITTEE ON STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to negotiate an intergovernmental agreement with the Lake County Forest Preserve District and the Village of Buffalo Grove to expand the floodwater storage capacity of Buffalo Creek Reservoir
Body
Dear Sir:
On February 21, 2013, the Board of Commissioners authorized the District to negotiate an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Lake County Forest Preserve District (LCFPD) for expansion of the Buffalo Creek Reservoir (BCR).
In addition to LCFPD, the Village of Buffalo Grove (Village) will need to be a party to the IGA for expansion of BCR in order to provide maintenance at the flood control reservoir site.
Based on the foregoing, the Engineering Department requests that the District be authorized to negotiate an IGA with the LCFPD and the Village for expansion of BCR. After all three parties agree in principle, authority to enter into an IGA will be sought from the Board of Commissioners.
Requested, Catherine A. O'Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JPM
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Michael A. Alvarez, Chairman Committee on Stormwater Management
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for April 3, 2014
