Title/Name/Summary
Hickory Creek Watershed Planning Group Annual Dues
History
In 2012 the Hickory Creek Watershed Plan was completed with the input of local governments including Orland Park. The plan includes both general principles as well as specific recommendations for improvements in the watershed area. In 2011 the Orland Park Board of Trustees passed a resolution of support for the Watershed Plan.
Since 2012, the Plan has progressed to the implementation phase, with the village continuing to participate in the implementation efforts. The Watershed Plan affects seven municipalities, which have been requested to contribute to the ongoing operational costs of the Hickory Creek Planning Group and implementation of the plan recommendations, including the hiring of a Group Coordinator, grant-seeking efforts, and water quality monitoring.
The 2015 annual dues of $5,000 are currently due.
On June 15, 2015 the Development Services & Planning voted 3-0 to recommend to the Village Board the payment of $5,000 for the 2015 Hickory Creek Watershed Planning Group annual dues.
This is now before the Village Board for consideration
Financial Impact
$5,000 is included in the Development Services budget to cover these annual dues.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the payment of $5,000 for the 2015 Hickory Creek Watershed Planning Group annual dues.
