I got this from Benjamin Cox's notes on the Cook FPD board meeting... 

Some 230 acres of additional forest preserve land is planned to come to District via an Intergovernmental Agreement that the Board approved signing onto with the City of Chicago. The IGA establishes joint goals and governmental responsibilities for the Calumet area for the FPDCC and the City. They will work together to preserve some of the major parcels of wetlands and natural areas in Calumet.
