Title

Authority to amend Board Order of June 1, 2017, regarding Authority to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with and make payment to the City of Chicago to share the cost of a research pilot study in the Chatham Neighborhood of Chicago to gain insight into the effectiveness of various technologies aimed at reducing basement backups and flooding (16-IGA-20), in an amount not to exceed $400,000.00, Account 401-50000-612400, Requisition 1463732 (Deferred from the May 18, 2017 board meeting) "ADOPTED AS AMENDED REFER TO FILE ID# 17-0555A", Agenda Item No. 23, File No.17-0555

Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

At the Board Meeting of June 1, 2017, the Board of Commissioners duly authorized the above stated action, Agenda Item No. 23, File No. 17-0555.

 

Since that time, the District has been working diligently with the City of Chicago (City) to finalize the language of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). On December 12, 2018, the City Council passed an ordinance to authorize the execution of the IGA. During the course of the District’s IGA review, the District determined that the funding source for the Pilot Study should be changed from the Capital Improvements Bond Fund to the Stormwater Fund due to the estimated useful life of the infrastructure to be installed.

 

To reflect the change in funding source, it is hereby requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the following revision to the last paragraph of the transmittal letter:

 

                     • Funds are available in Account 501-50000-612400 instead of 401-50000-612400.

 

Therefore, it is requested that the aforesaid Board Order of June 1, 2017, be amended to effect the changes set forth above, otherwise to remain in force and effect as heretofore enacted.

 

Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JK

Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director

Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for April 4, 2019
