As part of the Village’s ongoing efforts to improve stormwater management in the community, the Village undertook a comprehensive stormwater study in 2014, which identified a number of high impact stormwater improvement projects throughout the community. One of those projects is the Berkely-Hintz project which is scheduled to begin in 2022.

This project will involve the construction of both stormwater storage and conveyance pipes to help move water out of the surrounding neighborhood during storm events. There is another Intergovernmental Agreement for the operation and maintenance of Raven Park on tonight’s agenda. This second agreement outlines agreements between the Village and the Park District regarding temporary and permanent access and maintenance easements related to the project.  

Recommendation

It is recommended that the an Ordinance Approving a Temporary Construction Easement and Perpetual Access and Maintenance Easement be approved.
