| 1 | | | Partnership Agreement | PROPOSED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”) to enter into a Partnership Agreement with the Eugene S. Pike House Foundation, Inc.

Reason: The request includes the granting of two (2) small temporary easement areas on either side of Forestway Drive to allow re-construction of the underlying culvert built in 1937 that is very worn and in disrepair. Work in the temporary easement areas would include some excavation and erosion control measures. The Forest Preserves would be responsible for long-term maintenance of the proposed im | | |
