PROPOSED MISCELLANEOUS ITEM OF BUSINESS
Department: County Clerk
Summary: The Cook County Clerk's Office has received a copy of a court order disconnecting certain property from the City of Chicago. This property, commonly known as the "138th Street Landfill Property, " consists of 86 acres of land and is located just north of the Village of Dolton and south of the Little Calumet River in Cook County Board of Commissioners District #5.
According to a letter of advice from the Cook County State's Attorney's office, this property should be removed from Hyde Park Township in addition to its disconnection from the City of Chicago.
For county administration purposes, however, this property must fall within the boundaries of a suburban township. Pursuant to 60 ILCS 1/10-5(i), the Cook County Board is expressly authorized to alter the boundaries of townships. Thornton Township, which adjoins the property, is the best choice to annex this property.
It is recommended that, for tax year 2013, the following property be annexed into Thornton Township:
"That part lying South and West of the Little Calumet River in the South half of Section 35 Township 27 North Range 14 East of the Third Principal Meridian in Cook County, Illinois."
Said property consists of the following four (4) Property Index Numbers (PINs):
29-02-100-018-0000 29-02-100-019-0000 29-02-100-020-0000 29-02-100-021-0000
