Title
Authority to grant the Village of Hanover Park a 60-year, approximately 20’ x 728’ non-exclusive easement to continue to operate a 6-inch water main on District real estate located south of the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant in Hanover Park, Illinois.

Body
Dear Sir:
The Village of Hanover Park (“Hanover Park”) operates and maintains a 6-inch water main that services the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant in Hanover Park, Illinois. The water main lies within a 20’ x 728’ easement granted by the District that extends west from Westchester Drive to the District’s property line adjacent to Hanover Highlands Elementary School. The existing easement commenced August 9, 1965, and expires August 8, 2025.
Hanover Park has requested a new 60-year easement to continue to operate and maintain the 6-inch water main. The land on which the easement is located is leased to Hanover Park under a public recreational lease. The lease allows for public utility easements within the leasehold.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed this easement request and have no objections thereto. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as Hanover Park 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 grant to the Village of Hanover Park a 60-year, approximately 20’ x 728’ non-exclusive easement to continue to operate a 6-inch water main on District real estate located south of the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant in Hanover Park, 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 after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:BJD: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 September 21, 2023
