Body
Dear Sir:
In connection with the Addison Creek Reservoir project, the Engineering Department has secured a permanent easement from the Memorial Park District for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the proposed native vegetation, riprap armoring, outfall, and stream gage monitoring manhole located in the Village of Bellwood, Illinois.
The Memorial Park District has agreed to grant the required easement for a fee of $14,400.00. It is the opinion of the Engineering Department that this amount is acceptable based on an appraisal commissioned by the District. The easement grant was signed by the Memorial Park District on November 16, 2016, and does not require countersignature by the District.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it accept and approve the permanent easement grant from the Memorial Park District to the District in connection with the captioned project, after it is approved by the Director of Engineering as to technical matters and by the General Counsel as to form and legality. It is further requested that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk be authorized and directed to issue payment to the Memorial Park District in the sum of $14,400.00 on behalf of the District.
Funds are available in Account 401-50000-667340.
