ti�f.D�c9� <br /> C <br /> u �e <br /> '/IIINO�Y <br /> October 12, 1998 <br /> PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 98 - 70 <br /> MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: James L. Williams, Jr., City Manager <br /> Bruce A. McNabb, Director of Public Works <br /> SUBJECT: Transfer of Highway Jurisdiction for Fisherman's Wharf Access Road <br /> The Decatur Park District (DPD) would like to acquire jurisdiction for a section of County <br /> Highway 31 (Southside Drive), commonly known as Fisherman's Wharf Access Road and as <br /> shown on the attached maps, from Macon County. The purpose of this transfer of jurisdiction is <br /> to facilitate a development project on adjacent property owned by the DPD. <br /> Macon County is willing to make this transfer and attempted to do a direct transfer to the <br /> DPD. Unfortunately, the State of Illinois says that a direct transfer from a County to a Park <br /> District is not permitted due to State regulations. Therefore, the DPD and Macon County have <br /> asked the City to facilitate this transfer by temporarily accepting this street from Macon County <br /> and then transferring it to the Park District. <br /> City staff has reviewed this request and has received assurance from representatives of the <br /> Park District that it will accept the three stipulations that the City has requested to protect its <br /> interests and those of adjacent property owners. The three stipulations are attached to the <br /> transfer of jurisdiction from the City to the Park District. Copies of both of the transfer <br /> agreements are attached. <br /> Approval of the transfer agreements will not create any financial cost or obligation to the <br /> City. <br />
