Title
Motion Supporting District 97's (D97) Discussions Related to the Proposed Holmes School Addition
End
Overview
Overview
The Village Board wants to ensure D97 knows that the Village is supportive of their plans, if they choose, to place an addition on the Village-owned property (the west side) at Holmes School. If D97 chooses to expand the school on the Village property (the west side), the Village will work within the school's deadlines for any additional agreements the District may need with the Village to meet their deadlines/schedules. On February 21, 2017 the Village Board approved a Right of Entry Agreement which allows D97 to do soil testing on the proposed site.
Body
Staff Recommendation
The Village Board and staff will work to support District 97 during this project.
Fiscal Impact
Depending on the District's decision, the next step would be for the Village and the District to enter into an agreement to allow for the construction on Village-owned land. All financial responsibilities would be part of this agreement, such as the protection of Village utilities, etc.
Background
This item is to ensure D97 understands that the Village is enthusiastically behind the District's discussions to expand Holmes School. It is the Village's understanding that the District will be reviewing the issues later this this week, specifically the option to expand on the west side of the school which is over Village property.
On February 21, 2017 the Village Boared approved a Right of Entry Agreement which allows D97 to do soil testing on the proposed site. After a final decision is made by D97 as to the location, a lease or easement agreement will be required if the west side of the school is selected as the site.
