Resident asks Rolling Meadows to support intergovernmental agreement to repair stormwater damage
Summary
Joseph MacArthur told the Environmental Committee that an impaired easement and stormwater drainage problems are damaging his property and asked the Committee to urge the City to back an intergovernmental agreement (MWRD jurisdiction) to fix the issue.
Joseph MacArthur addressed the Rolling Meadows Environmental Committee during public comment, saying the City has impaired an easement on his property and that ongoing stormwater drainage problems are causing damage. He told the Committee that the affected flood-control easement is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) and requested the Committee ask the City to support a proposed intergovernmental agreement to repair the problem.
The Committee did not record a formal response in the meeting minutes. Chair Pro Tem Maggie Trevor opened the floor for public comment and heard Mr. MacArthur's concerns; no action or motion related to the intergovernmental agreement was recorded. The matter was left unresolved in the meeting and may require staff follow-up with city administration and MWRD to determine next steps.
