TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF MARCH 7, 2024
COMMITTEE ON STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to negotiate intergovernmental agreements for the acquisition of flood-prone properties in Buffalo Grove and Stone Park
Body
Dear Sir:
The Engineering Department recently invited each municipality and township within the District’s Corporate limits to submit applications for potential flood-prone property acquisition projects. Two applications were submitted, and both met the requirements of the District’s Flood-Prone Acquisition policy under the Local Government Application Program adopted by the Board of Commissioners on August 7, 2014.
The two projects consist of twenty-six (26) flood-prone properties in the municipalities of Buffalo Grove and Stone Park. Attached is an exhibit illustrating the project locations.
Based on the foregoing, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners grant authority for the District to negotiate Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) with the municipalities of Buffalo Grove and Stone Park for the acquisition of flood-prone properties. If the parties agree in principle, authority to enter the IGAs will be sought from the District’s Board of Commissioners.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, KMF: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 March 7, 2024
