ITEM SUMMARY:
The City has been maintaining the Oak Drive right-of-way, between Diversey Parkway and IL Route 59,
for several years now (dedicated as public right-of-way in circa 1953). The City has no utilities in this
unimproved right-of-way and there is no need to continue to own said right-of-way. DuPage County
owns the adjacent parcel to the east and a portion of its Illinois Prairie Path system meanders through
the Oak Drive right-of-way.
Representatives from DuPage County were contacted and have agreed to assume ownership and
maintenance responsibility of the right-of-way if deeded via a Plat of Dedication pursuant to the Illinois
Local Government Property Transfer Act, 50 ILCS 605.0.01. Per the Act, the City of West Chicago is to
transfer the property by Resolution and the DuPage County is to accept the property by Ordinance.
Please refer to the attached Resolution No. 20-O-0059 and Attachment A for additional information.
On Tuesday October 27, 2020, DuPage Country enacted and approved Ordinance DT-O-0080-20
authorizing the Director of Transportation/County Engineer to execute a Plat of Dedication for the Oak
Drive right-of-way (see attached draft Ordinance). Receipt of executed and certified copies of the County
Ordinance is pending City’s approval of the Plat of Dedication.
Therefore, staff is requesting City Council approval of Resolution No. 20-R-0059 authorizing the transfer
of ownership of the Oak Drive right-of-way to DuPage County.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 20-R-0059 authorizing the Mayor to execute a Plat of Dedication for the transfer
of ownership of the Oak Drive right-of-way to DuPage County.
