Summary: The Forest Preserves has been party to an Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") since 2013 granting the Northbrook Park District use of a chain link fence owned by the Forest Preserves located at the southwest corner of Somme Prairie Nature Preserve for the purpose of operating an off-leash dog area at Coast Guard Park. In exchange for shared use of the fence, the Northbrook Park District is responsible for routine maintenance in order to keep the fence secure and in good condition, at no cost to the Forest Preserves. The Forest Preserves is allowed reasonable access to the service gates at the park for easier maintenance of adjacent Forest Preserves properties.
The original IGA was approved in 2013 and an amendment was approved on 10/16/2018 (Board Item No. 18-0339) to renew the agreement through 2023. The Forest Preserves is requesting to renew said agreement with the Northbrook Park District for another five (5) years, with an additional five-year extension option subject to the approval of the General Superintendent.
