COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to commence statutory procedures to lease approximately 21± acres of the eastern portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 10.04 located east of Ridgeland Avenue in Alsip, Illinois (Deferred from the January 7, 2021 Board Meeting)
Body
Dear Sir:
7ez Consulting, Inc. has requested to lease approximately 21+/- acres located east of Ridgeland Avenue on the eastern portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 10.04 in Alsip, Illinois. The proposed use is truck parking and the requested lease term is 39 years.
This site was previously designated as a United States Army Corps of Engineers (the “Corps”) regional sediment management facility until federal legislation recently deauthorized the Corps’ use of this site. These 21± acres comprise the eastern portion of the District’s Ridgeland Avenue drying beds. The section of the site is undeveloped. The western portion of the Ridgeland Avenue drying beds are under permits for use by Christy Weber Landscaping for parking and storing trucks and equipment and by UPS for seasonal parking of trucks.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed this site to ensure that it is not currently needed for corporate use and have no technical objections to making this site available for lease.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the General Counsel to commence statutory procedures to lease approximately 21± acres of the eastern portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 10.04 located east of Ridgeland Avenue in Alsip, Illinois; upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel STM:EMA:vp
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 January 21, 2021
