Body
Dear Sir:
On January 19, 2017, the Board of Commissioners authorized the District to pay final just compensation to Sharon Passarella, as Trustee of the trust agreement known as the Sharon Passarella Revocable Trust dated April 10, 2013, to acquire the real estate commonly known as 6633 W. 86th Street in Burbank, IL, in the eminent domain lawsuit entitled The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago v. Sharon Passarella, et al., Case No. 16L050538 in the Circuit Court of Cook County.
Since the Board approved the final just compensation amount, the District’s relocation consultant Urban Relocation Services, Inc. has completed its evaluation of the eligible relocation costs. The maximum amount the homeowner is eligible to receive is $21,100.00. These relocation costs are required to be paid by the District under the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act.
This total amount includes the maximum replacement housing cost, reasonable moving expenses, and closing costs. The amount is subject to adjustment based upon the actual costs incurred. In all cases, the homeowner must submit the required claim forms to the District and its relocation consultant for review and approval before any payments are made.
Accordingly, it is requested that the Executive Director be authorized to make intermittent payments to the owner, in an amount not to exceed $21,100.00, for eligible costs in connection with relocation, as provided for in the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel and Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering; RMH:CAO:SM:BJD:TN:vp
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, David J. Walsh, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
