Body
Dear Sir:
Since June 15, 1995, the City of Des Plaines (“Des Plaines”) has periodically accessed meter vaults located at the James C. Kirie Water Reclamation Plant to read, inspect, maintain or repair Des Plaines-owned water meters. The subject permit, as extended, expires December 31, 2022. Des Plaines has requested a new five (5) year permit to continue to periodically access the meter vaults. Des Plaines must access the District’s meter vaults to reach its own water meters.
The District’s technical departments have no objections to issuing the permit provided that 24-hour unrestricted access to District structures is maintained. Des Plaines and its contractors will also be required to execute confined space entry releases.
A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as is customary for governmental entities using District property for a public purpose.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it grant to the City of Des Plaines a five (5) year confined space entry permit to continue to periodically access meter vaults located at the James C. Kirie Water Reclamation Plant, located at 701 W. Oakton Street, in Des Plaines, Illinois, to read, inspect, maintain, or repair Des Plaines-owned water meters. 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 permit agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:MTC:MSZ: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 August 11, 2022
