Body
Dear Sir:
At its January 24, 2002 and February 15, 2007 meetings, the Board of Commissioners authorized the issuance of a 5-year permit to the City of Des Plaines (“Des Plaines”) to maintain a “Welcome to the City of Des Plaines” sign located at the southeast corner of Oakton Street and Elmhurst Road on the site of the District’s James C. Kirie Water Reclamation Plant in Des Plaines, Illinois. The subject sign is approximately eight (8) feet wide and nine (9) feet high.
Des Plaines has requested a new 5-year permit to continue to maintain the subject sign. The District's technical departments have reviewed the request and have no objections to the issuance of a new permit to continue to maintain the subject sign.
The prior permits were issued for a nominal fee of $10.00. It is recommended that a nominal fee of $10.00 be assessed under this permit since Des Plaines is a municipal agency. The area of land encumbered is de minimis and the use serves a public purpose.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the issuance of a 5-year permit to the City of Des Plaines to continue to maintain a “Welcome to the City of Des Plaines” sign located at the southeast corner of Oakton Street and Elmhurst Road on the site of the District’s James C. Kirie Water Reclamation Plant in Des Plaines, Illinois. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
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 said permit agreement after same is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:NPE:rg
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Terrence J. O’Brien, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
