Title
Resolution authorizing the execution of an Eighth Amendment to the Agreement for Sewage Disposal between Lake County and the North Shore Sanitary District.
Staff Summary
• Gurnee School District #56 purchased approximately 70.8 acres in Wadsworth, IL and is proposing to construct a new grade school for approximately 600 students on the site on Wadsworth Road east of Delany Road.
• This development will allow for the demolition of the existing Gurnee Grade School at 940 Kilbourne Road, which is below the 100-Year Base Flood Elevation of the Des Plaines River.
• The site is currently located within the County’s Northeast Lake FPA and the nearest County sanitary sewer facilities would be at the Mill Creek Water Reclamation Facility on Ancona Avenue east of Hunt Club Road, which is approximately 4-miles west and south of the site.
• A connection to the County sewer system is cost prohibitive and is estimated to be approximately $3,000,000.
• The proposal is to amend the FPA boundary and allow the property to be served via the North Shore Sanitary District FPA through a connection to the Village of Beach Park sewer system which is estimated to cost approximately $80,000.
• Committee gave direction to approve actions by the Director of Public Works to support the boundary amendment and prepare an amendment to the Agreement for Sewage Disposal with the North Shore Sanitary District for sewer service.
• This resolution authorizes the execution of an Eighth Amendment to the Agreement for Sewage Disposal between the County and the North Shore Sanitary District for transfer of the Gurnee Grade School property.
