Title
Joint resolution authorizing a Rider to add Lake County to an existing Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Highway Authority Agreement between BP Products North America Inc. (BP) and the Village of Mundelein (Village), and executing a Lake County Supplemental Highway Authority Agreement, between BP and Lake County, related to property located at 4 East Hawley Street, Mundelein, Illinois.
Staff Summary
* In 2017, the jurisdiction of Hawley Street, from Midlothian Road to Seymour Avenue, was transferred from the Village to Lake County and as such, a Rider to the existing 2007 Highway Authority Agreement between BP and the Village is necessary to reflect Lake County as the current highway authority of Hawley Street in the area of the property located at 4 East Hawley Street.

* The Village approved the Rider at its August 13, 2018 Village Board meeting.
