Dear Sir:
In April 2004, MWRD approved the issuance of a sewer connection authorization to the City of Chicago as part of the Viaduct Clearance Improvement - South Loomis Street: Eleanor Street to Archer Avenue Project, including improvements that would require modification of an existing city sewer. Special Condition No. 12 for MWRD Sewer Construction Authorization No. 03 CH 11 requires the transfer of ownership of all sewer structures, including the connection chamber, to MWRD. The City of Chicago and MWRD have reached an agreement transferring ownership of the connection chamber. Consideration is a nominal fee of $10.00.
Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the execution of the Sewer System Assignment Agreement for Sewer Construction Authorization No. 03-CH-11, upon the terms and conditions referenced above.
It is further respectfully requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk be authorized and directed to execute the Structure Assignment Agreement on behalf of MWRD after same is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:HSW:MTC:kk
