Body
Dear Sir:
The Village of Stickney (“Stickney”) has requested a 5-year permit to install security cameras on District real estate located adjacent to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant along Pershing Avenue, between Laramie Avenue and Ridgeland Avenue, in Stickney, Illinois. Stickney’s request is related to its effort to increase criminal investigation tools for its police department, which includes installing security cameras at various locations on roadways throughout the Village. Stickney, and neighboring municipalities, intend to share the footage captured by these cameras with each other, for the purpose of assisting the respective police departments in criminal investigations. Stickney will also make the footage available to the District’s police department for the same purposes.
The cameras are planned for three locations, mounted on aluminum poles and powered by connected solar panels. The District’s technical departments have reviewed this permit request and have no objections thereto. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as Stickney is a governmental entity using District property for a public purpose, and the cameras will provide a benefit to the District.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a 5-year permit to the Village of Stickney to install security cameras on District real estate located adjacent to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant along Pershing Avenue, between Laramie Avenue and Ridgeland Avenue, in Stickney, Illinois. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is further requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk be authorized and directed to execute said permit after same is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:BJD:NOC:vp
Recommended, John P. Murray, Executive Director
