Title
Veterans Affairs Intergovernmental Agreement
History
As you know, the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs is currently occupying 325 square feet in the lower level of the Village Hall at 14700 S. Ravinia Avenue, Orland Park, Illinois. The Veterans Affairs office has requested a renewal of their agreement to occupy this space.
The current agreement term was five (5) years. Staff recommends a three (3) year lease term to give the Village appropriate flexibility. The agreement provides space for a term of three (3) years at no cost to the State of Illinois. At any time during the term, the Village may terminate this intergovernmental agreement effective three (3) months following written notice.
The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs is state office dedicated to assisting veterans and their family members. A local presence of this agency will make sure our local military veterans and their families receive the benefits and care they are entitled to. The Village Attorney is in the process of reviewing the intergovernmental agreement at this time.
On December 6, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Community Events & Outreach Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
