TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF MARCH 1, 2018
COMMITTEE ON STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to amend nine multi-county municipality Intergovernmental Agreements to be consistent with the recently amended Watershed Management Ordinance
Body
Dear Sir:
The recent amendment to the Watershed Management Ordinance (WMO) included clarification on permitting requirements for detention facilities located within multi-county municipalities that have entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the District to adopt and enforce a collar county’s stormwater ordinance in lieu of the stormwater management provisions of the WMO. In order to remain consistent with the WMO, these IGAs need to be amended. Currently, the following nine multi-county municipalities have entered into an IGA with the District:
Village of Barrington
Village of Barrington Hills
Village of Bartlett
Village of Deerfield
Village of Deer Park
City of Elgin
Village of Hinsdale
Village of Park Forest
Village of Roselle
It is respectfully requested that the Board of Commissioners grant authority to amend each of the nine multi-county municipality IGAs and that the Chairman of the Committee on Stormwater Management, Executive Director, and Clerk be authorized to execute said amendments on behalf of the District upon approval by the Director of Engineering as to technical matters and by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JK
Respectfully Submitted, Debra Shore, 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 March 1, 2018
