Summary: First amendment to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Lake County Storm water Management Commission, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago and the County of Kenosha, Wisconsin wherein the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be the lead agency to perform a Feasibility Study to determine the feasibility of improvements to reduce flood damage, restore the environment, enhance recreation and protect water quality in the Upper Des Plaines River Watershed. This Amendment terminates the participation of Cook County in the Study, adds the MWRD as a participating "Sponsor" to the Study and allows the MWRD to assume certain obligations of Cook County related to the Study, and increases the estimated total Study costs. The Agreement is further amended to reflect Cook County's increased share of the Study as $1,412,105.60 (originally $1,086,125.00) and to reflect Cook County's remaining obligations under the Agreement and provides for payment from Cook County to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the amount of $64,106.19 (determined as the balance of $1,412,105.60 less previous cash payments and in-kind service credits totaling $1,186,771.41 less the MWRD share of $161,228.00).
The original Agreement was approved by this Honorable Body on 2/21/2002 and this Amendment is needed to terminate the participation of Cook County in the Study and officially add the MWRD as a participating "Sponsor" to the Study which is appropriate given that the Illinois State Legislature conveyed the general supervision of storm water management in Cook County to the MWRD on 11/17/2004.
The Amendment has been examined and approved by this Department and by the State's Attorney's Office.
