A RESOLUTION APPROVING OSLAD APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL FUNDING
FOR HERITAGE QUARRIES AND I&M CANAL TRAIL AMENITY
IMPROVEMENTS
The Village of Lemont hereby certifies and acknowledges that it has the sufficient funds
necessary (includes cash and value of donated land) to complete the pending OSLAD project
within the timeframes specified herein for project execution, and that failure to adhere to the
specified project timeframe or failure to proceed with the project because of insufficient funds or
change in local recreation priorities is sufficient cause for project grant termination which will
also result in the ineligibility of the local project sponsor for subsequent Illinois IDNR outdoor
recreation grant assistance consideration in the next two (2) consecutive grant cycles following
project termination.
Acquisition and Development Projects
It is understood that the project must be completed within the timeframe
established. The OSLAD timeframe is two years as is specified in the project
agreement. The Billing Certification Statement must be submitted within 45 days of the
grant expiration date and the last reimbursement request must be submitted within
one year of the grant expiration date. Failure to do so will result in the Project Sponsor
forfeiting all project reimbursements and relieves IDNR from further payment obligations
on the grant.
The Village of Lemont further acknowledges and certifies that it will comply with all terms,
conditions and regulations of 1) the Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD)
program (17 IL Adm. Code 3025); 2) the Illinois Grant Funds Recovery Act (30 ILCS
705); 3) the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance & Real Property Acquisition Policies
Act of 1970 (P.L. 91-646) and/or the Illinois Displaced Persons Relocation Act (310 ILCS 40 et.
seq.), as applicable; 4) the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/1-101 et. seq.); 5) Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, (P.L. 83-352); 6) the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (P.L.
94-135); 7) the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988, (P.L. 100-259); and 8) the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 (PL 101-336); and will maintain the project area in an attractive
and safe condition, keep the facilities open to the general public during reasonable hours
consistent with the type of facility, cease any farming operations, and obtain from the Illinois
DNR written approval for any change or conversion of approved outdoor recreation use of the
project site prior to initiating such change or conversion; and for property acquired with
OSLAD assistance, agree to place a covenant restriction on the project property deed at the time
of recording that stipulates the property must be used, in perpetuity, for public outdoor recreation
purposes in accordance with the OSLAD programs and cannot be sold or exchanged, in whole or
part, to another party without approval from the Illinois DNR, and that development at the site
will commence within 3 years.
BE IT FURTHER PROVIDED that the Village of Lemont certifies to the best of its knowledge
that the information provided within the attached application is true and correct.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE VILLAGE OF LEMONT, COUNTIES OF COOK, WILL, AND DUPAGE, ILLINOIS,
ON THIS 91h DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2024.
