ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Public Works with a Request to APPROVE a PERMANENT EASEMENT AGREEMENT with a Variance with OSF HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, for the OSF COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER PROJECT.
Body
BACKGROUND:
As part of the construction of the new OSF Cancer Center, the relocation of a 60-inch diameter combined sewer main was required.
