Summary:
On 7/12/2011, this Board authorized an Intergovernmental Agreement (the "IGA") between Cook County and the District to establish a joint planning initiative to provide for cooperation and to prepare plans for the development of 175 acres of new forest preserve land adjacent to the Oak Forest Health Center that was formerly owned by Cook County. On 7/10/2012, the County Board and the District Board amended the IGA to provide for access, signage, and other actions to further the cooperative development of the Preserve. The parties now have determined that the use of portions of the existing service road on the Campus would facilitate the timely and cost-effective development of the proposed multi-purpose trail on the Preserve. The proposed Second Amendment to the IGA provides for the following actions:
1. Temporary Easement Agreement. The County and the District agree to execute an Easement Agreement upon completion of surveys and legal description for conveyance of approximately 1.418 acres for purposes of constructing, inspecting, maintaining, repairing, replacing and removing a multi-purpose recreational trail.
2. Permanent Easement. The County and the District agree that this temporary easement will be replaced with either a permanent easement or the conveyance of the fee upon a determination of the desirability of conveying additional property for purposes of the Preserve and upon agreement of the parties as to any appropriate compensation.
If the Board approves the proposed amendment, this approval shall include the following authorization:
For the President or the Real Estate Director to execute any and all documents and instruments
and to take such other action as may be necessary to effectuate the Temporary Easement Agreement
