Joint Resolution authorizing execution of an Easement Agreement for the Ingress and Egress to the Lake County Public Works White Deer Run Water Reservoir.

Staff Summary

•                     On April 13, 2021, the County Board approved an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Village of Mundelein to purchase 240 W. Gregg’s Parkway for the purpose of constructing a Water Reservoir to serve the Vernon Hills water system.

•                     The Village of Vernon Hills owns the land, or access road, through which construction personnel and equipment must travel to access the construction site and Lake County Public Works will require continued use of the access road to operate and maintain the reservoir; therefore, an easement agreement with Vernon Hills is necessary.
