A Resolution Approving an Easement License Agreement with Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (Multi Use Trail Project)

This resolution approves an Easement License Agreement between the Village of Romeoville and Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (Natural) for a multi-use trail project. The agreement grants the Village a non-exclusive license to construct, operate, maintain, repair, replace, and remove a bike path on a portion of Natural's property. The primary term of the license is five years, with four optional five-year extensions. The Village will pay a one-time fee of $2,500.00 for the preparation of the agreement. The agreement outlines detailed conditions for construction, maintenance, and use, including requirements for inspections, adherence to Natural's facility protection, and insurance. Natural retains the right to use its property, and its rights are paramount to the license granted.

This agreement allows for the construction of a bike path on Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America's property, providing a new recreational amenity for residents. The Village will be responsible for construction and maintenance, with specific conditions to protect the pipeline company's facilities.
