title
Resolution Approving an Easement Agreement for Water Delivery Structure by and Between the Grand Prairie Water Commission and the City of Joliet (Joliet Quaternary Delivery Structure)
end
BACKGROUND:
The City of Joliet is a member of the Grand Prairie Water Commission, which is preparing to provide Lake Michigan water to the City via water delivery structures at points of delivery identified by the City pursuant to the Grand Prairie Water Commission Water Supply Agreement dated July 2, 2024. The City has identified the location for its quaternary point of delivery of water from the Commission and City staff has coordinated with the designers of the water delivery structures regarding the design and placement for the City’s quaternary point of delivery. The property for the water delivery structure is owned by the City. Therefore, an easement needs to be granted to the Commission so it can construct, own, operate, and maintain the water delivery structure infrastructure.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
The City and the Commission have negotiated mutually acceptable terms of an Easement Agreement for Water Delivery Structure for the quaternary point of delivery consistent with the Water Supply Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve a Resolution Approving an Easement Agreement for Water Delivery Structure by and between the City of Joliet and the Grand Prairie Water Commission for the Joliet quaternary delivery structure.
