Body
Dear Sir:
Illinois Bell Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T Illinois (“AT&T”) has requested a 25-year, 1,560.00’ x 45’ non-exclusive easement to install, maintain, operate, repair, replace and remove transmission lines and facilities on District real estate located east of the Harlem Avenue Bridge between College Drive and 116th Street in Worth and Palos Heights, Illinois, and known as Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 9.03 and 9.04.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed AT&T’s request for the 25-year easement and have no objections thereto.
It is recommended that an initial annual fee of $5,000.00 be assessed, as 10% of the fair market value fee of the easement premises would yield a fee less than the District's minimum fee of $5,000.00.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the grant of a 25-year, 1,560.00’ x 45’ non-exclusive easement to Illinois Bell Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T Illinois to install, maintain, operate, repair, replace and remove transmission lines and facilities on District real estate located east of the Harlem Avenue Bridge between College Drive and 116th Street in Worth and Palos Heights, Illinois, and known as Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 9.03 and 9.04. Consideration shall be an initial annual fee of $5,000.00.
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 said easement agreement on behalf of the District after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:MM:vp
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 January 19, 2017
