Title
Authorization to assign four (4) permanent easements to the Village of Palatine and the Palatine Park District for maintenance of the Flood Control Project for Upper Salt Creek (Contract 10-884-AF) in Palatine, Illinois
Body
Dear Sir:
On June 29, 2015, the District entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) with the Village of Palatine (“Village”) and the Palatine Park District (“Park District”) for construction and perpetual maintenance of the Flood Control Project for Upper Salt Creek in Palatine, Illinois (Contract 10-884-AF) (“Project”). The Project consisted of installing a bypass storm sewer, small berm, and flap gates in the Salt Creek sub-basin in order to improve stormwater flow to reduce flooding damages to homes in the area, south of Dundee Road in the Village of Palatine. The District constructed the improvements and the Village and the Park District are responsible for continued maintenance and operation of the improvements.
Pursuant to the IGA, the District obtained four (4) permanent easements from adjacent landowners for construction, maintenance and operation of the Project. Two permanent easements were granted by the Wellington Park Homeowners Association, one from Cherry Brook Village, and one from Jyothi Raja. The IGA and the easement grants provided that after completion of the Project, the District shall assign the easements to the Village and the Park District for the continued maintenance, operation and repairs of the Project improvements.
The District completed the Project on September 23, 2016. As a result, the easements must be assigned to the Village and the Park District in furtherance of their maintenance and operation obligations under the IGA.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the assignment of four (4) permanent easements to the Village of Palatine and the Palatine Park District for maintenance of the Flood Control Project for Upper Salt Creek (Contract 10-884-AF) in Palatine, Illinois.
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute said assignment agreements on behalf of the District, after they are approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel and Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering; RMH:CAO:SM:BJD:vp
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
