A RESOLUTION
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Easement Agreement with
Northwestern University Located on Chicago Avenue from Clark
Street to Sheridan Road and on Sheridan Road from Chicago Avenue
to Lincoln Street Sheridan Road
WHEREAS, the City of Evanston, Cook County, Illinois, (the "City") is a
home rule unit of government under the Illinois Constitution of 1970; and
WHEREAS, Northwestern University ("NU") desires to install lighting
fixtures on both the East and West side of Chicago Avenue from Clark Street to
Sheridan Road and the West side of Sheridan Road from Chicago Avenue to Lincoln
Street; and
WHEREAS, the City and NU wish to negotiate and execute an easement
agreement (the "Agreement') regarding the installation of said light fixtures,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF EVANSTON, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION 1: The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to
negotiate all necessary terms of the Agreement as he may determine to be in the best
interests of the City, and which shall be approved as to form by the Corporation
Counsel.
SECTION 2: The Agreement shall grant NU certain lighting easements on
both the East and West side of Chicago Avenue from Clark Street to Sheridan Road
and the West side of Sheridan Road from Chicago Avenue to Lincoln Street that
60-R-16
substantially conform to the locations depicted in Exhibit A, to accommodate the
installation of light fixtures.
SECTION 3: NU is solely responsible for the light fixture installation
project and shall fund the project in its entirety, including the repair, maintenance, and
cost of electricity associated with said light fixtures.
SECTION 4: The initial easement term shall not exceed twenty-five (25)
years from the effective date of this Resolution.
SECTION 5: Pursuant to the Agreement, NU must pay the City a one-
time lighting easement fee in the amount of three hundred three thousand six hundred
eighty-six dollars and sixty-four cents ($303,686.64). This one-time easement fee
includes the total cost of the annual easement fees for the twenty-five (25) year term of
the easement. For the first year of the Agreement, said fee is nine thousand four
hundred eighty-one dollars and twenty three cents ($9,481.23), which equals sixty-
seven and eight tenths cents per square foot ($0.678/sq. ft.) for thirteen thousand nine
hundred seventy-seven and ninety-three tenths square feet (13,977.93 sq. ft.). For
every subsequent year of the term of the Agreement, the annual fee increases by two
percent (2%) over the prior year's fee. Upon receipt of the final plat of survey, the City
will recalculate the total easement fee based on the actual square footage utilized, and
if the square footage util�ized is greater than thirteen thousand nine hundred seventy-
seven and ninety-three tenths square feet (13,977.93 sq. ft.), NU must pay the
additional easement costs associated with the overage. At the end of the Agreement
term, the City will revisit the easement fee and negotiate any additional necessary
conditions in order to renew the easement agreement with NU.
