Title
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO A REAL ESTATE LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION ALLOWING ACCESS TO CERTAIN CITY-OWNED PROPERTY NEAR AND ADJACENT TO THE FORMER U.S. STEEL SITE.
Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to execute a first amendment to a real estate license agreement, substantially the same as the agreement attached as Exhibit 1, with United States Steel Corporation to grant access to certain city-owned property near and adjacent to the old U.S. Steel plant site in the Morgan Park and Gary-New Duluth neighborhoods.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the city to enter into a first amendment to a real estate license agreement with United States Steel Corporation (“U.S. Steel”) to grant access to city-owned property in the Morgan Park and Gary-New Duluth neighborhoods near and adjacent to the old U.S. Steel plant site (the “Plant”). U.S. Steel is or will be implementing environmental remediation and redevelopment of the Plant and needs access to enter onto the City’s property to complete such work.
The original real estate license agreement was approved on August 24, 2020 under Resolution No. 20-0667. This first amendment is needed to add additional city-owned property to the license agreement.
