LEGAL DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> No. 2001-25 <br /> December 5, 2001 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Steve Garm City Manager <br /> John W. C r, Corporation Counsel <br /> r <br /> RE: Decatur Business Center Environmental Investigation <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should approve the amended <br /> work order regarding the environmental investigation at the Decatur Business Center. <br /> BACKGROUND: Under the direction of the Illinois Environmental Protection <br /> Agency, the City (together with BorgWarner, Zexel and Mueller) is investigating the extent of <br /> environmental contamination at the Decatur Business Center (- Imboden Dr., formerly known as <br /> the Decatur Industry and Technology Center, or the "Incubator"). While much work has been <br /> done so far at the site, the IEPA is insisting on some additional testing. Accordingly, the <br /> consultant retained by the City and the three corporations has prepared an amended work order <br /> that is in compliance with the IEPA's wishes. The City's share of the additional work is <br /> approximately Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00). It is hoped that this will be the final <br /> expenditure in the investigatory phase, but that is largely up to the IEPA. Staff recommends that <br /> Council approve the attached resolution. <br /> OBJECTIONS: None of which staff is aware. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: John Couter(424-2807). <br /> JWC:ps <br /> cc: Wendy L. Morthland <br /> Steven G. Jones <br />
