TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JUNE 7, 2018
COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. John P. Murray, Acting Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a 3-month permit to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority on an approximate two (2) acre portion of the District’s Majewski Reservoir site in Elk Grove Village, Illinois to correct slope erosion. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00
Body
Dear Sir:
The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (“ISTHA”) is currently constructing the Elgin O’Hare Western Access Project (“Project”). During the course of the Project, slope erosion has occurred at the southeast corner of the Majewski Reservoir (“Reservoir”) site in Elk Grove Village, Illinois as a result of contractors working on ISTHA’s behalf constructing a temporary ditch on the public right-of-way near the I-90 expressway/Elmhurst Road interchange. This ditch resulted in stormwater being diverted toward the Reservoir site instead of the adjacent public right-of-way. ISTHA has since corrected the diversion by removing the ditch.
To correct the erosion that resulted from the diversion, ISTHA has requested a three (3) month permit on an approximate two (2) acre portion of the Reservoir site that will allow it to re-grade the area where the erosion has occurred.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed ISTHA’s request for a permit and have no objections thereto. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as is customary with governmental entities using District property for a public purpose.
It is requested that the Acting Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it issue a 3-month permit to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority on an approximate two (2) acre portion of the District’s Majewski Reservoir site in Elk Grove Village, Illinois to correct slope erosion. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is also requested that the Acting 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 the permit agreement on behalf of the District after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:CMM:nhb:nl
Recommended, John P. Murray, Acting Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, David J. Walsh, 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 June 7, 2018
