Approved Items with Discussion:
  • #9, 20-0181: Discussion took place about the transfer of the $20,000,000.00 of Accumulated Investment Interest Income to the MWRD Retirement Fund.  Questions were asked about the use of minority owned investment firms and in what way these funds will be allocated for investments.  The outside investment manager is Marquette Investment; Commissioners asked what they charge for their services.
  • #23, 20-0207:  Authority to lease 14.02 acres of improved District real estate at 6400 South Archer Avenue in Bedford Park, Illinois; Main Channel parcel 33.01.  Currently, there is a tenant on the property.  The Board requested more information.

Deferred or Deleted Items:
  • #13, 20-0177 Deferred by Commissioner Davis - more information was requested regarding why this money is sent to a law firm instead of directly to the Coalition and who the Coalition members are.
  • #14, 20-0205 Deferred by Commissioner Garcia - Much discussion took place about the relationship of this engineering project to the future Lincoln Yards Project.
