TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2025
COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. John P. Murray, Acting Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a two-year permit extension to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority to continue to use a 15.5± acre portion of the Majewski Reservoir Site to access and remove soil to use as construction fill for the Elgin O’Hare Western Access Project. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00
Body
Dear Sir:
The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (“ISTHA”) has a permit to remove soil from stockpiles located on a portion of the District’s Majewski Reservoir Site to use as fill for ISTHA’s Elgin O’Hare Western Access Project. The permit commenced July 1, 2015, and, as amended, expires December 31, 2025.
Due to ongoing construction, ISTHA has requested a two-year permit extension to continue accessing and removing soil from the stockpiles.
The Mount Prospect Park District (“MPPD”) leases this parcel under a public recreational lease that commenced December 1, 2000, and expires November 3, 2050. MPPD has no objections to the permit.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed this extension request and have no objections thereto. This soil removal is beneficial to the District as well because it makes the site more usable and frees up space for the upcoming Majewski Reservoir Rehabilitation Project. Accordingly, a nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended.
It is requested that the Acting Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the issuance of a two-year permit extension to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority to continue to use a 15.5± acre portion of the Majewski Reservoir Site to access and remove soil to use as construction fill for the Elgin O’Hare Western Access Project. 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 the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk be authorized and directed to execute said permit extension agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:BJD:JAW:vp
Recommended, John P. Murray, Acting Executive Director
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for August 14, 2025
