Shorewood approves MOU with Glendale to study potential DPW/transfer‑station sites at North Harbor Street
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved an MOU with the City of Glendale to allow due diligence, ALTA surveying and title work on 4100–4182 N. Harbor Street as possible sites for a future DPW facility or transfer station; trustees emphasized the distinction between non‑binding MOU and any future purchase agreement.
The board considered a memorandum of understanding with the City of Glendale to investigate properties at 4100–4182 North Harbor Street as potential alternate sites for a public works facility or transfer station. Staff said the MOU enables due diligence (ALTA survey, title work and engineering review) and does not bind the village to a purchase.
The village attorney summarized the document as an MOU that "expresses the intent of the parties to mutually work together" and not a binding contract. Trustees asked about what items would belong in closed session versus public discussion during the evaluation; staff said negotiations and privileged bargaining positions would be handled in closed session, while gathered technical information and vetted concepts would be shared publicly. The board approved the MOU unanimously and directed staff to proceed with the next steps of due diligence.
