Proposed Ordinance
To Create A Forest Preserve Near Oak Forest Heritage Preserve
An Ordinance Creating A Forest Preserve in part of Fractional Section 22, Township 36 North, Range 13 East of the Third Principal Meridian, all in Cook County, Illinois near Oak Forest Heritage Preserve in District 5.
Whereas, The Board of Forest Preserve Commissioners of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Illinois, pursuant to the statutes in such case made and provided, has from time to time acquired by purchase, condemnation, gift, grant, or devise, lands necessary and desirable for Forest Preserve purposes con-taining one or more natural forests or parts thereof, or lands connecting such forests or parts thereof, or lands capable of being reforested for the purpose of protecting and preserving the flora, fauna, and scenic beauties within the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Illinois, and to restore, restock, protect, and preserve the natural forests and said lands together with their flora and fauna, as nearly as may be, in their natural state and condition, for the purpose of the education, pleasure, and recreation of the public; and
Whereas, the said Board of Forest Preserve Commissioners of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Illinois also has acquired in like manner lands for the consolidation of such preserves into unit areas of a size and form convenient and desirable for public use and economical maintenance and improve-ment, and lands for the purpose of connecting such preserves with forested ways or links in order to increase their accessibility, use, and enjoyment, and lands for improvement by forestation, roads, and pathways; and
Whereas, the said Board of Forest Preserve Commissioners of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Illinois has in a like manner acquired lands along water courses or elsewhere which, in their judgment, were required to control drainage and water conditions and neces-sary for the preservation of forested areas acquired or to be acquired as preserves and lands for the purpose of extension of roads and forested ways around and by such preserves and for parking space for automobiles and other facilities not requiring forested areas but incidental to the use and protection thereof; and

[A]cquisition by the Forest Preserve district will guarantee its open space status for posterity”;
Whereas, despite the passage of an Ordinance in 1973 creating a Forest Preserve in certain undeveloped portions of the Oak Forest Hospital Community, the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Illinois believes passage of this ordinance is necessary to ensure compliance with the Local Government Property Transfer Act, 50 ILCS 605/0.01 et seq., which provides statutory authority for one municipality to convey title to real estate to another municipality when the territory of transferor municipality is at least partly within the corporate limits of the transferee municipality and it is necessary or convenient to use, occupy or improve real estate held by the transferor municipality in the making of any public improvement or for any public purpose; and

Section 2. That the Property referred to in Section 1 of this ordinance is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 3. The Board hereby determines that the acquisition of the Property from the County of Cook (“County”) is in the public interest.

Such acquisition shall be subject only to restrictions, covenants and easements shown of record and shall be “as is” without warranties of any sort.
Section 4. The Board hereby authorizes the President or her designee to execute any and all documents necessary to effectuate the acquisitions described herein in accordance with customary terms and conditions, subject to this Ordinance.
