TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF AUGUST 11, 2022
COMMITTEE ON ENGINEERING
Mr. Brian Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to negotiate and execute an amendment to the Sewerage Service Agreement with Deer Park, Illinois
Body
Dear Sir:
On November 5, 1998, the District entered into a Sewerage Service Agreement with Deer Park, Illinois (Agreement). This Agreement permitted the Village of Deer Park (Village) to utilize the District’s collection and treatment facilities for sewage and industrial wastes originating on and discharging from an area of land consisting of approximately 359 acres of property bounded by Rand, Quentin, and Lake-Cook Roads, north of the Cook-Lake County Line, located in Lake County, both within and outside the Village’s statutory boundaries.
Since November 5, 1998, the Agreement has been amended several times to describe the land area more accurately and to incorporate USEPA requirements.
It is currently desired that the Agreement be amended again in two ways. First, the Village wishes to amend the Agreement to remove a total of 4 parcels from the permitted land area. Parcel 1, located at 20818 N. Rand Road, with Property Index Number (PIN) 14-34-100-010 and a property area of approximately 0.16 acres; Parcel 2, also located at 20818 N. Rand Road, with PIN 14-34-100-011 and a property area of approximately 0.73 acres; and Parcel 3 located at 20771 N. Quentin Road, with PIN 14-34-100-080 and a property area of approximately 0.64 acres, are new requests. The Board of Commissioners previously granted authority at the December 16, 2021 Board Meeting to exclude a fourth parcel located at 20817 N Quentin Road, with PIN 14-34-100-084 and a property area of approximately 0.66 acres. Additionally, the District wishes to amend the Agreement to change the stormwater management requirements to now comply with the Watershed Management Ordinance that was amended by the Board of Commissioners on May 7, 2020.
It is respectfully requested that the Board of Commissioners grant authority to negotiate and execute an amendment to the Sewerage Service Agreement with Deer Park, Illinois and that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Executive Director, and Clerk be authorized to execute said amendment on behalf of the District upon approval by the Director of Engineering as to technical matters and by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, KMF:MD
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
