COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
 
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
 
Title
Ratify the action of the Executive Director of August 28, 2014, issuing a one-month permit to Olympic Oil Company on 3.1 acres of District real estate located at 5200 West 41st Street in Cicero, Illinois; Main Channel Parcel 39.09 for temporary staging during an environmental cleanup action for a consideration of $4,450.00
Body
 
Dear Sir:
 
Olympic Oil Company ("Olympic") leases 8.67 acres of District real estate located at 5000 West 41st Street in Cicero, Illinois and known as Main Channel Parcel 39.10 under a lease that commenced in 2004 and expires in 2043.  Olympic operates a petroleum storage and packaging business.  Recently, one of Olympic's containment areas leaked, resulting in a petroleum release on Olympic's leasehold and into the Main Channel.
 
The USEPA and the IEPA are overseeing the environmental cleanup action.  Olympic was under restrictive time constraints to satisfy both agencies in the cleanup process at the time it requested the permit.  The remediation remains ongoing.  Olympic requested to temporarily place equipment and vehicles necessary for assisting in the cleanup process on the vacant site located directly adjacent to and west of Olympic's leasehold site known as Main Channel Parcel 39.09.
 
Due to the urgency to remediate the petroleum release, the Executive Director, in exercise of his operating authority, issued the permit on August 28, 2014.
 
At the time the Executive Director issued the permit, he polled the Board of Commissioners and found that it was amenable to its issuance.
 
Accordingly, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners ratify and approve the action of the Executive Director of August 28, 2014, in issuing a one-month permit to Olympic Oil Company on 3.1 acres of District real estate located at 5200 West 41st Street in Cicero, Illinois; Main Channel Parcel 39.09 for temporary staging during an environmental cleanup action.
 
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:ss
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 September 4, 2014
