Body
Dear Sir:
On October 8, 1992, the Board of Commissioners granted a 25-year, 20’ x 20’ non-exclusive easement to the United States of America, Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair, replace and remove a wind shear detection monitoring facility located east of the Majewski Reservoir, west of Elmhurst Road and south of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway in Elk Grove Village, Illinois for a nominal fee of $10.00. The wind shear detection monitoring facility aids in aircrafts’ landings and takeoffs during periods of storms or changing weather. The easement expires October 7, 2017.
The FAA has requested a new 25-year easement to continue to operate the wind shear detection monitoring facility. The District’s technical departments have reviewed the FAA’s request and have no objections thereto. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as the FAA is a governmental agency utilizing the easement area in furtherance of a public purpose.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it grant a 25-year, 20’ x 20’ non-exclusive easement to the United States of America, Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration to continue to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair, replace and remove a wind shear detection monitoring facility located east of the Majewski Reservoir, west of Elmhurst Road and south of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute said easement agreement on behalf of the District after it is approved by the Acting General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, Acting General Counsel, STM:CMM:MLD:vp
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, David J. Walsh, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
