Body
Dear Sir:
On February 1, 2019, the Board of Commissioners issued a permit to the Tri-State Fire Protection District (“Tri-State”) to use the dock facility/boat launch located on Main Channel Parcel 30.05 (“MCP 30.05”), the access road on MCPs 30.05, 30.06, 31.01, 31.05, and 31.06, and the “knox box” on the District’s gate on MCP 30.06 in Willow Springs, Illinois, to conduct routine training and rescue operations in the Main Channel. The “knox box” is a key vault that houses keys that belong to Tri-State for access to gates. The box will remain locked at all times unless opened by Tri-State. The current permit expires January 31, 2024.
MCPs 30.06, 31.05, and 31.06 contain the District’s drying beds and MCP 31.01 is temporarily being used by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority as a staging area. MCP 30.05 is under lease to Valvoline Inc. and Valvoline LLC (“Valvoline”). Valvoline’s lease commenced in 1994 and expires in 2033. The permit is subject to Valvoline’s written consent.
Tri-State has requested a five (5) year permit extension to continue using the dock facility/boat launch, access road, and “knox box” for the same purposes.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed this request and have no objections thereto. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as Tri-State is a governmental entity utilizing the property in furtherance of a public purpose.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the issuance of a five (5) year permit extension to the Tri-State Fire Protection District to continue to use the dock facility/boat launch located on Main Channel Parcel 30.05, the access road on Main Channel Parcels 30.05, 30.06. 31.01, 31.05, and 31.06, and the “knox box” on the District’s gate on Main Channel Parcel 30.06 in Willow Springs, Illinois, to conduct routine training and rescue operations in the Main Channel. 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 extension agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:KHY: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 May 18, 2023
