Body
 
Dear Sir:
On April 17, 2008, the City of Chicago was granted approval by the MWRD for Sewer Connection Authorization No. 08-CH-03 for the Morgan Street Sewer in Chicago, Illinois between West Pershing Road and West 37th Street, Chicago Illinois.  Special Condition No. 10 of Authorization No. 08-CH-03 requires that ownership of the Structure be conveyed to the MWRD for purposes of operation and ownership and to facilitate the City or other entities to use the Structure as applicable and subject to approval by the MWRD.  The City was permitted to construct a 48-inch diameter sanitary manhole (hereinafter "Structure") upon the MWRD intercepting sewer for the Morgan Street Sewer in Chicago, Illinois between West Pershing Road and West 37th Street, Chicago Illinois.
 
The MWRD and the City have now reached an agreement transferring ownership of said Structure.  On June 30, 2010, the Chicago City Council approved the Structure Assignment Agreement.
 
Accordingly, it is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the execution of the Structure Assignment Agreement upon the terms and conditions referenced above.
 
It is further requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk be authorized and directed to execute any necessary documents in connection with the subject structure assignment agreement on behalf of the MWRD after they are approved by the Director of Engineering as to technical matters and by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Frederick M. Feldman, General Counsel and Kenneth A. Kits, Director of Engineering FMF:KAK:HSW:JMB:crb
Respectfully Submitted, Frank Avila, Chairman Committee on Engineering
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for October 7, 2010
