2. Approval of Amoco Highway Authorization Agreement
PRESENTED BY CITY ATTORNEY VICTOR FILIPPINI
The City has negotiated a Highway Authority Agreement (the "HAA") with Amoco Oil Company on behalf of The City of Lake Forest. An HAA is part of a federal program to address environmental
contamination that does not immediately affect the general public. In this instance, the HAA addresses the contamination of the right-of-way under the roadway known as Everett Road
near the intersection with Waukegan Road. The benefit of the HAA is that Amoco is admitting responsibility for the contamination and has created a legal mechanism to protect the City
should road work in the affected area need to be performed in the future (provided the City fulfills its obligations). Also, the roadway will not be immediately disrupted because of
the low level of contamination which, as presently monitored, does not pose a threat to human health.
The City has certain obligations as outlined in the HAA to notify workers when road work is performed, thus, the appropriate City department should include a note on its maps reminding
them of this duty. City Engineer Ken Magnus has reviewed the HAA for technical requirements, and the City Attorney has reviewed and revised it for legal issues. In addition, Amoco has
agreed to reimburse (upon execution) the City for its costs (including attorneys' fees) of review and negotiation.
Amoco will have representatives present at the meeting to answer any questions which may arise. A copy of the Resolution and Agreement are attached beginning on page 7.
Recommended Action: Approve the proposed resolution and highway authority agreement with Amoco Oil Company.
3. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Schedule II (Stop Signs), Chapter 40, of the City Code of Lake Forest, 1971, as Amended (First Reading and Final Approval). Northbound Oak
Knoll Road at Estate Lane East.
PRESENTED BY ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER CHRIS MARTIN (615-4281)
Upon receiving several telephone requests from residents in the area, the Traffic Safety Coordinating Committee is recommending the installation of a stop sign for Northbound Oak Knoll
Road at Estate Lane East. Oak Knoll Road has been extended from Estate Lane East to Old Mill Road as part of the Biltmore Subdivision. Construction traffic and some local traffic have
begun using this new road. Therefore, a stop should be provided for northbound Oak Knoll traffic at Estate Lane East. This will match the southbound stop on Oak Knoll Road at Estate
Lane East. The ordinance and a location map are provided beginning on page 19.
Recommended Action: Waive first reading of the ordinance and grant final approval to an ordinance amending Schedule II of Chapter 40 allowing for the installation of a stop sign on
northbound Oak Knoll Road at Estate Lane East.
