Authority to amend lease agreement dated October 7, 1993, between the District and Alsip Park District to surrender a 0.15+ acre portion of its 79.931 acre leasehold located along the Cal-Sag Channel between Ridgeland Avenue and Pulaski Road in Alsip, Illinois; Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 10.03 (portion), 11.02, 11.03, 12.01, 12.03 (portion) and 12.11. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00
Body
Dear Sir:
Alsip Park District (“Alsip”) currently leases the subject 79.931 acres known as Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 11.02, 11.03, 12.01, 12.11 and part of Parcels 10.03 and 12.03 for public recreational use and for the construction, operation and maintenance of the Cal-Sag Trail (“Trail”). The lease commenced November 1, 1993, and expires October 31, 2052. The annual rent is $10.00.
Alsip has requested to surrender a 0.15+ acre portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 11.03, thereby reducing the leased acreage from 79.931 acres to 79.781 acres. Alsip is requesting to surrender the 0.15+ acre portion of its leasehold so that the land can be sold to the Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) as part IDOT’s project to replace the bridge located at the intersection of IL Route 83 and 127th Street that traverses Tinley Creek (“Project”). The 0.15+ acre portion is located at the southeastern corner of Parcel 11.03. The Project is expected to commence in Fall 2020 and be completed in two years.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed these companion requests to purchase by IDOT and surrender by Alsip and have no objections thereto. A companion transmittal letter is on today’s agenda seeking authority to sell the subject 0.15+ acres to IDOT.
Surrendering the subject 0.15+ acres will not affect the Trail on Parcel 11.03. IDOT has indicated that the section of the Trail located within its right-of-way along 127th Street will not be accessible during the bridge replacement work. IDOT is coordinating with Alsip to ensure that the portion of the Trail on its right-of-way will be restored upon completion of the Project.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize an amendment to the lease agreement dated October 7, 1993, between the District and the Alsip Park District to surrender a 0.15+ acre portion of its 79.931 acre leasehold located along the Cal-Sag Channel between Ridgeland Avenue and Pulaski Road in Alsip, Illinois; Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 10.03 (portion), 11.02, 11.03, 12.01, 12.03 (portion) and 12.11. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:EMA:CMM
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 August 6, 2020
