The Illinois Environmental <br /> Protection Agency has approved the City's plan to demolish the building and Joe Coleman <br /> Salvage has provided the City with the necessary bonding. Joe Coleman Salvage would have 90 <br /> days from the date that an agreement is signed to complete the demolition. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Neighborhood Services requested the demolition. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Billy Tyus, Assistant City Manager for Development Services, 424- <br /> 2727. Dave Griffiths, Neighborhood Inspections Administrator, 424-2794. Both will be at the <br /> council meeting to answer any questions the council may have about this purchase. <br /> BUDGET: $346,500. <br />
