Dear Sir:
 
In connection with Contract 10-882-AF, Tinley Creek Channel Improvements (TICR-5) in Orland Park and Orland Hills, we request approval to negotiate an intergovernmental agreement outlining various responsibilities associated with the proposed improvements, such as operation and maintenance, with the Village of Orland Hills.
 
On March 21, 2013, the Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance R13-001 establishing Right-of-Way for the construction, operation, and maintenance for the above captioned project.  The project involves improving conveyance to reduce flood elevations as well as stabilizing the banks of Tinley Creek between Lake Lorin and 88th Avenue in the Village of Orland Hills.  Authority to negotiate and enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Orland Park, for the portion of the project to be constructed in the Village of Orland Park, was granted on July 12, 2012.
 
Based on the foregoing, it is requested the District be authorized to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Orland Hills for certain responsibilities to be negotiated by the District, and that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, the Executive Director, and the Clerk be authorized to execute said intergovernmental agreement on behalf of the District, upon approval by the Director of the Engineering as to technical matters and by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
 
Requested, Catherine A. O'Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JPM
