PUBLIC HEARING SUPPLEMENT
DATE: December 3, 2018
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: Public Hearing and Consideration of the 2018 Tax Levy Ordinance
ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A —Proposed Real Estate Tax Levy by Fund
2017 McHenry County Tax Rates
2018 Property Tax Levy Ordinance
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The purpose of this agenda item is to conduct the 2018 Property Tax Levy Public Hearing and to
provide the City Council with information needed for the adoption of the 2018 Property Tax Levy
Ordinance.
PURPOSE:
On November 12, 2018 Council considered and approved a Resolution Determining the Amount
of Funds to be levied for the 2018 Tax Year through real estate taxes for the City of McHenry and
set a date of December 3, 2018 for the Public Hearing and consideration of an ordinance
establishing such a levy. While not required to do so, the City of McHenry believes that it is
important to provide residents with an opportunity to provide public comment on the proposed
property tax levy.
Upon the closure of the public hearing City Council can then consider the adoption of the 2018
Tax Levy Ordinance. An approved Tax Levy Ordinance must be filed by the last Tuesday of
December (the 25th in 2018). With altered schedules and office hours due to the holidays, it is
always prudent for Council to consider the Tax Levy Ordinance to allow sufficient time for
administrative processing.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Approximately 77.1% of the FY18/19 budgeted General Fund Revenues are derived from Sales
Tax, Income Tax and Property Tax receipts with the remaining approximate 22.9% coming from
such sources as miscellaneous other intergovernmental taxes, grants, franchise fees, licenses and
permits, fines and forfeitures, and charges for services. For the FY18/19 Budget, Property Tax
receipts comprised 22.2% ($4,942,359) of the total budgeted revenues ($22,309,740).
As the Council is aware, McHenry has implemented a Fund Balance and Reserve Policy and for
the General Fund, this policy recommends that the unrestricted fund balance be maintained at
120 days of estimated operating expenses. Additionally, after the minimum fund balance is met,
that excess fund balance should be assigned for future capital expenses. At the end of
FY2017/18, there were $0 additional funds to be transferred to the Capital Improvements Fund
as excess fund balance. This means that any General Fund Capital projects identified for
implementation in the upcoming fiscal year (May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020) will have to be
funded through the General Fund Balance.
As the Council discusses the property tax levy, it should keep the following factors in mind. First,
that the FY18/19 General Fund Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes nearly $90 million in
projects (including an approximate $50 million local road program) that rely primarily on General
Fund Revenues for implementation. The 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan is in the early
development phase and all department heads have been notified that there are $0 excess funds
available for a capital plan for 2019/20. If, during the budget process, there are budgeted
revenues over expenses capital items could be added. The FY17/18 Capital Improvements Fund
Balance is $1,051,046 and FY18/19 Budgeted Capital Items total $773,000. This leaves just
$278,046 in the Capital Improvements Fund for General Fund Capital Projects.
The second factor is that, that despite the most conservative budgeting efforts, General Fund
operating costs will continue to increase. For example, Police Pension contributions are
estimated to increase $62,718, and overall salary increases are estimated to increase $449,000
for FY19/20, a total of $511,718 which represents a 2.2% increase in FY18/19 Budgeted
Expenditures of $23,477,491.
Of note, Staff is currently working with a firm on an exploratory basis to identify cost saving
measures that could be gained through energy efficiencies and non-traditional capital
improvements and equipment improvements. While this may provide an opportunity for the
City to address such projects as improvements to public facilities (e.g., municipal center roof
replacement) and vehicle and equipment replacement, it will not be able to address all of the
funding needs related to projects such as the local street program.
Despite the fact that as a "Home Rule" community the City of McHenry is no longer subject to
the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, or PTELL-which limits increases to residents' property
taxes by preventing a local government's property tax levy from growing at a faster pace than
the rate of inflation, or 5%, whichever is less - the City has continued to follow PTELL guidelines
for establishing the property tax levy. In fact, for the years 2011-2015 the City chose to maintain
a flat property tax levy request at the amount that was requested in 2010. In 2016, Council chose
to decrease the property tax levy request by 3%. And in 2017 the levy was again maintained flat
from the 2016 reduced amount.
For the 2018 tax year the inflationary rate is 2a The Estimated Rate Setting EAV supplied by
McHenry County is 667,191,687 (an increase of 6.8% over 2017) which includes new construction
of 2,901,515. PTELL calculated with the inflationary rate and the estimated EAV equates to an
Estimated Limited Extension of $4,737,159, or an $118,373 increase over last year. Even if the
City were to adopt this increase, it would not cover the anticipated increases in costs for FY19/20.
Based on the above information, it is important to remind the Council that freezing or reducing
the City's portion of the property tax levy does not mean that home -owners will see a reduction
in their property tax bill. Change in EAV also drives change in the property tax bill. When the
EAV declines the tax rates must go up in order to fully fund the property tax levy because the
same amount of money needs to be collected across the new lower values as requested by all
taxing districts. For 2017, the EAV increased for the second consecutive year so the tax rates for
the City went down slightly lowering the burden on taxpayers. In fact, in 2016 that portion of a
resident's tax bill directed to the City of McHenry was only 6.3% of the total amount. However,
this does not take into consideration actions taken by the other taxing jurisdictions that comprise
the total property tax bill. As an example, in 2015 the City of McHenry kept its portion of the
property tax bill the same as 2014, but the amount of property tax paid by the owner of a
$200,000 home actually increased by $43.51 due to levy increases by other taxing bodies.
Annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, the City must provide the amounts required for
the property tax levy so that the funds generated through this revenue mechanism will become
available during the 2019/2020 fiscal year. The levy request must be approved by the City Council
and submitted to the McHenry County Clerk by the last Tuesday in December (the 25th in 2018).
There are public notification timeframes also associated with this process. With this date as a
target, the 2018 Property Tax Resolution indicating the levy amount and Public Hearing was
presented at the November 3rd 2018 Council meeting and, upon adoption of the resolution, the
Property Tax Levy Public Hearing and consideration/adoption of the levy amount scheduled for
the December 3, 2018 City Council meeting.
Based on the totality of the information that has been reviewed in this memorandum, and with
input from the Finance and Personnel Committee at its October 1, 2018 and October 15, 2018
meetings, staff is forwarding a recommendation to maintain the property tax levy at the current
amount of $4,618,786. This represents the eighth (8th) consecutive year that the City of McHenry
has foregone an increase in the amount of property taxes collected. Based on the PTELL
estimates provided by McHenry County, the amount of revenues deferred by this action will be
approximately $118,373. Staff reminds Council that we will continue to carefully plan and
monitor revenues and expenditures during the upcoming year and monitor any other internal or
external factors that may have an impact on the City's overall financial stability.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, the following is recommended. 1) conducting a public hearing
regarding the proposed 2018 Property Tax Levy in an amount of $4,618,786 and, upon closing
the public hearing; 2) consideration of the 2018 Property Tax Levy Ordinance in an amount not
to exceed $4,618,786.

Attached is a Resolution identifying the City Council Meeting Schedule for 2019. Please note the
following:
1. There is only one meeting proposed for January, the 215Y. If another meeting is needed

a separate Committee of the Whole Meeting for this purpose. The proposed budget will
have still been reviewed by the Finance and Personnel Committee in March, as in previous
years, and Council is encouraged to attend these meetings. The final revised budget
would then still come before Council for adoption at the April 28tn Annual Meeting.
3. The first meeting in September will be Tuesday, September 3rd since Monday, September
2nd is Labor Day.
To avoid some confusion and scheduling conflicts this year, this schedule keeps City Council
meetings on the 15t and 3rd Mondays of each month (except for September 3rd) and, as always,
we have the opportunity to schedule additional "Special Meetings" to address specific topics if
needed.
The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest

Removed Consent Agenda Item
5.B. Ordinance authorizing the Mayor's execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement
between the City of McHenry and the Fox Waterway Agency for the Boone Creek Dredging
Project.
Alderman Santi commended the Fox Waterway Agency for recognizing the importance of this
project and the positive environmental impact the dredging of Boone Lagoon will have on the
waterway system. He questioned if Staff had researched other options to assist in dredging the
portion of Boone Lagoon west of Green Street to Route 120. Director Hobson replied yes. Staff is
in the process of investigating other dredging options for this section of the Boone Lagoon.
However, this project would involve a different methodology and a separate contractor and the
City would incur a 100% of the cost. Administrator Morefield elaborated on Staff's research with
respect to dredging Boone Lagoon from Green Street to Route 120. He reported that
simultaneously dredging within both areas of Boone Lagoon would decrease staging and trucking
cost.
Alderman Glab commented on the fact that he had reservations regarding the dredging project.
He recalled a project in which McCollum Lake was dredged. However, a short time later the
sediment particles transported by moving currents settled in the areas still waters. Director
Hobson reported that Staff would research the cost of installing an aeration system.
Alderman Schaefer asked if the Army Corp of Engineers would be involved in the dredging
project. Director Hobson responded yes.
Alderman Glab recommended Staff research grant funding opportunities with respect to the
various dredging projects Cl"d silt control.
There being no further discussion on the motion, a Motion was made by Alderman Santi and
seconded by Alderman Glab to approve an Ordinance authorizing the Mayor's execution of an
Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of McHenry and the Fox Waterway agency for
the Boon Creek Dredging Project. Roll call: Vote: 7-ayes: Alderman Santi, Alderman Glab,
Alderman Schaefer, Alderman Curry, Alderman Devine and Alderwoman Condon. 0-nays, 0-
abstained. Motion carried.

City Council
Meeting Minutes
November 26, 2018
Page 3
Director Polerecky reported that in the past the City Council has approved reducing fees for Oaks
at Irish Prairie, Liberty Trails, Patriot Estates and Legend Lakes Subdivisions until September 24,
2019.
He continued on to report that Lincoln Hills is the only remaining subdivision under a current
annexation agreement requesting a fee reduction. However, the entity with which the
annexation agreement was executed no longer exists due to foreclosure. Therefore, in order to
provide the same reduction in fees for the remaining five lots in the subdivision, Staff is asking
the Council to approve a fee reduction by action of a resolution.
Alderman Curry asked how many of the landholders had asked for a fee reduction. Director
Polerecky replied that he had been approached by two of the landholders requesting a fee
reduction. Alderman Curry noted that he didn't have a concern with granting a fee reduction.
However, in his opinion the fee reduction should be granted to those soliciting the City to do so.
Alderwoman Condon reported that this subdivision should be treated as those in the past. She
noted that the deadline to qualify for the reduction in fees not only simplifies the process for
Staff it serve as incentive to simulate the completion of all the undeveloped subdivisions.
Alderman Schaefer asked if the public improvements had been completed in the Lincoln Hills
Subdivision. Director Polerecky replied yes.
There being no further discussion on the motion, a Motion was made by Alderman Santi and
seconded by Alderman Schaefer to adopt a Resolution reducing certain cash donations for the
Lincoln Hill Subdivision through September 24, 2019. Roll call: Vote: 7-ayes: Alderman Santi,
Alderman Glab, Alderman Schaefer, Alderman Curry, Alderman Mihevc, Alderman Devine and
Alderwoman Condon. 0-nays, 0-abstained. Motion carried.
Discussion Only Items
Finance Director Lynch provided the Council Members with an overview of the Budget vs. Actuals
for the 2nd quarter of FY-18/19. She reported that overall, the City's 30 funds are running at levels
management would expect for the second quarter. The funds that received property tax receipts
are all running over the expected budgeted amount of 50% because almost 100% of the property
tax receipts have been received. Personnel cost has increased by 2% which is normal with respect
to inflation. She commented that Enterprise Fund revenues are performing close to the budgeted
amounts. However, management will closely watch water/sewer revenues to ensure the
budgeted revenues are met and will cover actual expenses.

The City of McHenry has issued a variety of bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the
municipality. This requires that property taxes be levied by the County Clerk. The City's
intentions are to abate these taxes through the County Clerk annually through the attached
abatement ordinances.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Over the years, the City of McHenry has issued a variety of bonds that pledge various funding
sources for repayment backed by the full faith and credit of municipality. IIVUedging the full faith
and credit of the municipality, the bond ordinances require the County Clerk to levy property
taxes for the debt service required on the bonds unless an abatement of the property tax by the
local municipality is approved and filed with the County Clerk. In structuring the bonds in this
manner, it was the intent of the City to annually abate the taxes provided the primary source of
repayment is sufficient to cover the debt service requirement. Historically, the primary source
of repayment has been sufficient to cover the debt service and the property tax has been
abated. Projections show that revenue sources in the coming year will continue to provide
adequate coverage for debt service requirements allowing the abatement of the property tax.
Consequently, in order for the County Clerk to abate or reduce the property taxes levied, the City
Council will need to approve the attached ordinances authorizing the abatements as follows:
1. GO Bonds (Recovery Zone & Build America) Series 20101:5 $ 413,120.00
2. GO Bonds (Alternate) Series 2010C $ 448,440.00
3. GO Bonds (Alternate) Series 2012 $ 207,332.50
4. GO Bonds (Refunding) Series 2013 $ 36,370.00
6. GO Bonds (Refunding) Series 2015 $ 582,878.76
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made to approve the
attached ordinances for the abatements as listed above.

addressing capital

improvements.
ATT: Leopardo Companies, Inc. Presentation Information
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
efficiency
The purpose of this agenda item is for Leopardo Companies, Inc. to provide Council with
information regarding opportunities to address the City's capital infrastructure needs related to
public facilities and vehicle replacement through the implementation of energy efficiency
improvements. Based on the presentation and resulting Council discussion, a Letter of Intent
would be presented to Council for approval at a subsequent meeting to engage Leopardo
Companies, Inc. for the development and implementation of such a program.
BACKGROUND:
The City of McHenry is facing a significant financial dilemma regarding its ability to fund future
capital improvements (public facilities, vehicle and equipment replacements, streets, and
stormwater/drainage improvements). Despite steadily increasing revenues from sales and
income taxes, increases to operating costs, along with maintaining level property tax revenues,
have resulted in the City having insufficient funds to meet the capital needs of the municipality.
The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest
quality of programs and services in acustomer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
As an example of the extreme nature of this situation, the City Administration is currently
developing the FY19/20 — FY23/24 Capital Improvement Plan which identifies all municipal capital
improvement needs of $10,000 or more. Based on the requests submitted by Department
Directors, the plan includes $830,000 in public facility maintenance improvements, $6 million in
vehicle and equipment replacement needs (not new but replacements), and nearly $51 million
in streets -related projects. Overall, the 5-year CIP includes more than $65 million in projects that
would require funding through the City's General Fund or via some other mechanism.
Unfortunately, only $6.8 million (10.5%) is identified for implementation of these projects and,
of this amount, $4 million is from non -municipal sources (e.g., grants, Federal or State programs),
meaning that only $2.8 million is identified for capital improvements over the next 5 years. In
short, without identifying alternative sources of revenues to fund capital improvement projects,
the City will continue to delay these improvements resulting, among other things, in increased
maintenance costs.
ANALYSIS:
At last May's International Convention of Shopping Centers (ICSC) event, Mayor Jett and Staff
net with Leopardo Companies, Inc. to discuss opportunities for the City to reduce annual costs
through the implementation of energy efficiency programs. The cost savings would then be used
to finance improvements to public facilities. Additionally, opportunities for meeting our vehicle
replacement needs through leasing programs was discussed. Leopardo Companies, Inc. is
headquartered in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and started as a construction company but has
branched out to offer a variety of services related to preconstruction, construction, design -build,
development, sustainability, building services, self -performance, and building information
modeling. Their website is www.leopardo.com.
Over last summer, Leopardo and Staff met to discuss the specific needs of the City and Leopardo
conducted a preliminary audit of municipal costs related to utility expenses, public facility
maintenance costs, and vehicle replacements to determine if there exists the potential for the
reduction of utility costs and subsequent reinvestment of those costs into public facility
maintenance projects. No municipal funds were expended on this feasibility audit. This study
has now been completed and it has been identified that opportunities for energy efficiencies,
costs savings, and public facility reinvestment exist. Since the City is just entering its Capital
Improvement Program development process, to be followed by the development of the FY19/20
Budget, it is an opportune time for Leopardo to present their findings to Council. In summary,
Staff believes that the analysis conducted by Leopardo provides the City with an opportunity to
identify cost savings that could be directed to public facility maintenance projects. Additionally,
it has been identified that leasing vehicles is a more cost effective way of managing the City's
fleet than attempting to rotate vehicles through purchase. It should be clarified however, that
this plan is not the panacea for meeting all of the City's financial needs related to capital
improvements. While its implementation may result in increased efficiency and costs savings
that can be redirected to other capital projects, the City's public infrastructure needs far exceed
the current funding resources. This is simply one tool that may be implemented to assist in
meeting the City's capital improvement goals. However, it does provide the opportunity to
reduce the competition for funding in the Capital Improvement Program and Annual Budget by
removing public facility maintenance projects so that funding can be directed towards other
capital projects, such as streets.
In order to more fully present this information, and provide Council with an opportunity to
discuss this potential, representatives from Leopardo have been asked to present information at
the December 3, 2018 City Council Meeting. Should Council be interested in working with
Leopardo in implementing the package presented, the City would enter into formal agreement
with Leopardo for services. This would be brought back to Council at a future meeting, as early
as December 17th. No action is being requested at this time.
Attached to this supplement is a copy of the information that will presented to Council on
December 3ra

Lighting
The City of McHenry recently updated the lighting in some of their facilities, including the
Department of Public Works and the Police Department build out in the City Hall. However,
the majority of the remaining buildings utilize outdated T12 fluorescent lighting. T8
fluorescent, metal halide, halogen and high-pressure sodium lighting are found throughout
the city.
Leopardo proposes that the remaining interior lighting and exterior building lighting,
including park lighting fixtures, be retrofitted with LED lamps or fixtures. The LED market is
rapidly growing, pushing the direction of the lighting industry to produce more LED options
at a lower cost. One of the largest energy uses in a building is lighting. LEDs have the potential
to reduce lighting energy by 40-50%. One of LED's main efficiency components is its ability to
emit light in a specific direction. This reduces the need for reflectors and diffusers. Also, LED's
potentially have double the lifespan of a conventional fluorescent lamp, thereby reducing
maintenance costs.

Street Lighting
According to city records, the City owns and operates approximately 400 street and parking
lights. A portion of these lights have already been converted to LED, however, a significant
amount of lighting is still in need of retrofit or replacement to LED.
Street lights are controlled by both photo sensors and time of day astronomical schedules.
Exact quantities of LED and HID were not available. The below assumptions were taken in
calculating savings:
Lamp Style Lamp Wattage Quantity
LED N/A 35
H PS 150 watt 172
H PS 250 watt 121
HIPS 400 watt 18
Total Street Lights 346
The City spends approximately $302,000 annually in street lighting utility costs, including both
City -owned lights and utility -owned lights. There are multiple billing structures for the various
utility accounts.
There are multiple options when replacing street lighting. It is possible to only replace the
lamp (not the fixture) or to replace the whole lighting fixture. Leopardo recommends a
complete LED fixture replacement of the street lights

Review Validation Report Key Findings
Mechanical Upgrades = HVAC
One of the more critical City needs is to address the older HVAC equipment throughout the
City. There are multiple systems near the end of their useful lives which should be replaced.
Replacing this equipment will have multiple benefits. First, it will allow for higher efficiency
equipment to be installed. Specifically, cooling efficiencies have increased greatly since a
much of McHenry's equipment was installed, so installing new equipment would allow the
City to see a reduction in cooling costs if the equipment is operated correctly. Secondly, the
newer equipment would require less maintenance. There is a much smaller chance of new
equipment needing to be repaired than older equipment. Capital cost avoidance will be
observed as well, as the older existing systems are prone to failure given their age.
Leopardo proposed to install new HVAC equipment in the City Hall, Parks Maintenance Garage,
Knox Park/Merkel Aquatic Center, and WWTP. Equipment should I with new, high
efficiency equipment.

Envelope cam Roof
The existing roof on the City of McHenry's City Hall building is quickly deteriorating. The existing
city hall roof is original to the building (1991) and is approximately 27 years old. The expected life
for a roof of this type is 15-20 years. In recent years, the roof has had multiple leaks which have
been repaired. The roof should have a major rehabilitation or be fully replaced in the next few
years to prevent considerable damage.

Leopardo recommends the complete re -roof of the City Hall. This option is the most cost-
effective option without additional capital contributions in the near future.
Windows
There are a number of existing windows at the Department of Public Works building which are
in need of replacement. The windows on the second floor of the office currently allow
significant amount of heat gain which makes the office area uncomfortably warm. The windows
appear to be original to the building. Additionally, the two (2) windows in the police storage
area of the Department of Public Works are in of replacement. These windows present a
security concern for the storage area and appear to be original to the building.
Leopardo recommends the replacement of the windows at the Public Works facility.

Salt Storage
Currently, the City stores its salt for roads on an uncovered concrete pad at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant. This location is inadequate for the City's current road maintenance
operations.
Existing Salt Storage Location (WWTP)
Leopardo recommends building a new salt dome at the Public Works facility. Locating the new
dome to Public Works will be much more convenient for the city's salt trucks. Providing an
enclosure for the salt will enable road maintenance crews to operate more efficiently.
Additionally, the new dome shall provide significantly increased capacity for salt storage.

Existing Conditions
According to the information provided by the City of McHenry, the City currently owns and
maintains a fleet of 107 vehicles ranging in age from 1 to 24 years from a variety of
manufacturers.
The City averages $414,387 in vehicle maintenance and repair costs. Given the age and
condition of the existing fleet vehicles, there are significant opportunities in reducing the
maintenance and operational costs in the City of McHenry's police fleet.

Fleet Leasing Program
Leopardo recommends that the City of McHenry implement a fleet management program to
include vehicle leasing.
Features of the open-ended leasing product are characterized by:
• Improved cash flow
• No mileage restrictions or wear and tear charges
• Flexible financing options
• Flexibility of ownership
• Customized terms for use and type of vehicle •
• Retention of ownership rights
• Aftermarket can be included in lease
• Vehicles delivered "road ready"
• Initial registration and annual license renewals can be included
Where normally a vehicle would be purchased outright from the capital budget and kept in
fleet until a specified time when it was sold, the open-ended lease allows for payment/funding
of the portion of the vehicle used. This approach allows municipalities to pay the minimum
value for the use of the vehicle on a monthly basis, improving cash flow. The mechanics of this
lease involves financing the difference between the vehicle's purchase price and a conservative
reduced book value (RBV), which is based on the anticipated market value considering the
vehicles age and application (see example below).
Options at completion of lease term:
• McHenry can replace its vehicles with new models and apply any gains to the
replacement vehicle
• McHenry can turn vehicles in early or extend leases based on needs
• McHenry can purchase the vehicle at the reduced book value
Leopardo's fleet solutions partners can sell your current, aged fleet inventory through resale
channels in a competitive market. All vehicle resale gains are the city's to keep. Gains through
the open-end lease are defined as the difference between the resale proceeds from our
remarketing efforts and the open market sale and the reduced book value. There are no
mileage charges or excessive wear and tear charges

Solar Power Purchase Agreement / Additional Sco
Solar Power Purchase Agreement
With the modernized utility infrastructure in Northern Illinois, McHenry has the opportunity to
install a solar array on their property. A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a financial
arrangement in which a third -party developer provides design, permitting, and installation of a
solar array on the City's property. Through this agreement, the City purchases the electricity from
the developer while the developer operates and maintains the array. These agreements typically
last between 10 and 25 years. Upon expiration of the agreement, the City owns the solar array.
Main benefits of the solar array include:
• No or low upfront capital cost.
• Limited risk to the City. The developer operates and maintains the system during the
agreement term.
• Energy cost reduction over the term of the agreement.
• Significant reduction of electricity purchased from fossil fuels.
Based on a preliminary assessment of the City's available land and utility services, Leopardo
proposes the following opportunity for a Solar PPA:
• The City would lease 20 acres of available land to the solar developer at a rate of
$1,000/acre/year. This would yield $20,000 per year in revenue for the City.
• The solar developer would construct a 5MW solar array on the leased property and sell
power to various subscribers at $0.045/kWh. The city shall purchase power from the solar
array, yielding utility savings of $121,534 per year.

Information Technology (IT)
Equipment Rental
Technology is constantly developing and providing more useful and time conserving ways to
manage data. Renting IT equipment often provides an opportunity to upgrade IT infrastructure
(phones, computers, servers, etc.) more frequently than purchasing. This allows for the latest
technology to be implemented. Leopardo proposes the City consider moving to an equipment
rental program.
Billing Auditing
IT Bill Auditing provides an opportunity to assess if there are any errors in monthly bills or if better
rates for the same or better services can be obtained. Leopardo proposed the City consider
having the IT bills audited.
Energy Procurement
In addition to energy conservation measures, Leopardo will investigate how the City
purchases their energy. Since Illinois is a deregulated state in terms in energy purchasing, The
City can choose their energy providers for electricity and natural gas. The City currently has
some agreements in place with providers. During the investment -grade audit, Leopardo will
determine the maximum savings potential by switching from the existing providers.

RE: Letter of Intent
Dear Mayor Jett:
Leopardo Companies, Inc. ("Contractor") presented a feasibility study, dated September 6th, 2018, to the City of
McHenry ("Owner"). The Owner has reviewed the study and has chosen Contractor as the provider for services.
The intent of the project offering is to provide modernization and upgrades to the current infrastructure. The
finalized scope of work, installation cost, and savings are to be determined under the negotiated final design.
It is the intent to negotiate in good faith and enter into an agreement with Contractor. The execution of a final
Guaranteed Performance Contract will be contingent upon the following items:
• Contractor will perform a detailed engineering assessment, systematic pre -measurement, and the
necessary engineering services to properly design the systems, savings, and renovations that the Owner
chooses to implement.
• The Owner shall have input into the design and selections of the systems and the scope of the renovation
work to best meet the intended outcome.
• Provided that the Contractor presents a budget neutral or better project to the Owner, in the event that
the Owner chooses not to move forward with any Guaranteed Performance Contract, it is agreed that
Contractor will be reimbursed for all costs incurred including technical, engineering, planning,
measurement, and preparation of the agreement.
• The reimbursement rate will be calculated at a cost of $50,000.00 plus any hard costs that Contractor incurs.
Both parties agree that an agreement will be entered into within ninety (90) days of the date of this letter.

FROM: Derik Morefield, City Administrator
RE: Discussion regarding solicitation of proposals for the redevelopment of the former
Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP) Site
ATT: Appraisal by Harrison &Associates, Inc. (includes site location maps)
Topographic Survey
As Council is aware the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP) has been
decommissioned. As of the end of this calendar year the site is available for redevelopment. The
City has already been approached by at least two entities interested in redeveloping the
approximate 7-acre site for mixed -use development. Prior to moving forward, Staff believes that
a discussion, or discussions, at the Council level to provide an opportunity for input as to the type
or vision of redevelopment is appropriate. This may conclude with the development of a formal
Request -for -Proposal (RFP) document that could be made available for interested parties to
review and provide a written response.
Attached is a formal appraisal that was completed in late October and transmitted to Staff on
November 14, 2018 which identes, with certain assumptions, a land value of $1,268,000 and a
boat launch/slip value of $223,000, Demolition of the site is estimated at between $1.5 and $2
million.
The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest
quality of programs and services in acustomer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible. manner.

Central Wastewater Treatment Plant
Dear Mr. Martin:
As requested, I have inspected the property known as the Central Wastewater Treatment Plan
site, consisting of a 7.23-acre site at the east terminus of Waukegan Road, at the Fox River, in
McHenry, Illinois. Part of this property consists of McHenry's central wastewater treatment
plant, which I believe was recently decommissioned. The other part of this property consists of
the former Bruce Marina, which is improved with several marina -related building improvements
as well as 66 boat slips in a lagoon off of the Fox River.
This inspection was made for the purpose of developing a market value opinion of the fee simple
interest, subject to tlae Limiting Condr'tions and Assumptions contained in the report as well as
to the extraordinary assumptions and Hypothetical conditions explained in the Scope of Work
section of the attached appraisal report, as of October 22, 2018, the initial date of inspection of
the subject property.
The accompanying report, consisting of 44 pages including exhibits, describes the method of
approach to value, together with the conclusions derived by development of the sales comparison
approach. Please note the Limiting Conditions and Assumptions on pages 1 and 2 of the report,
the legal description section on page 3 of the report, the Definitions section on page 4 of the
report, the Scope of Work (particularly with reference to the extraordinary assumptions and
hypothetical conditions relative to this assignment) on pages 5 through 7 of the report.
Mr. Douglas P. Martin, File No. 11244, Central Wastewater Treatment Plant
November 14, 2018
By reason of my analysis of the market data gathered during my investigation, tempered by my
judgment and experience, I have formed the opinion that market value of the fee simple interest
of the subject property was, stthject to the Limiting Conditions and Assumptions contained lit
the report as ;yell as to the extraordinaq assumptions and hypothetical conditions explained
in the Scope of Work section of the attached appraisal report, as of October 22, 2018, measured
in amount of
$1.491 MILLION DOLLARS---------------------------------------------------------------($1,491,000).
Allocation
The value of the subject property concluded in this appraisal — $1,491,000 — is allocated as
$1,268,000 to the land and improvements and $223,000 to the boat launch and boat slip
entitlements.

IDENTIFICATION
Property: McHenry's Central Wastewater Treatment Plant and former Bruce Marine
Locatian4 East terminus of Waukegan Road, at Fox River, McHenry, Illinois .
Mailing Address: 3M2 W. Waukegan Road, McHenry, Illinois 60050
3
�vvner of Record and Brief Property History; The subject property is owned by the City of
McHenry. The former central wastewater treatment plant component of the subject property has
been owned by the City of McHenry for many years. Access to this plant was apparently by
easement over the former Bruce Marina, The Bruce Marina component of the subject property
was acquired by the City of McHenry in June 2000. This component has been leased to Jerry
Danko, owner of D's Marine (adjacent to the north of the subject property) for many years. The
same improvements that were on the marina component of the subject property when it was
purchased by the City of McHenry existed on the marina component of the subject property on
the date of value in this assignment. To my knowledge, there have been no sales of any portion
I the subject property within the past three years. Also to my knowledge, the subject property is
not listed for sale. However, reportedly the City of McHenry is entertaining potential
redevelopment ideas from a variety of market participants.
Legal Description: I was not provided with a legal description of the subject property. Although
some former deeds do provide legal descriptions of some of the components of the subject
property, there is insufficient information available in these deeds to cover the entire subject
property. Additionally, the entire subject property was acquired over a period of several years,
from different sellers. For valuation purposes in this assignment, I have assumed that the land
narratively described and visually'portrayed on the exhibits in this report is an accurate
representation of the entire subject property. However, I reserve the right to re -analyze my
findings and conclusions relative to the subject property if I am provided with a subsequent legal
description and/or a plat of survey that shows the subject property to be significantly different
than what I have described in this appraisal.

DATE, PURPOSE AND INTENDED USE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to develop a market value opinion of the fee simple interest of
the subject property, legally described in the preceding section of this appraisal report, subject to
the Limiting Conditions andAssumptions contained in the report as well as to the
extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions explainer) in the Scope of Work
section of the report. This value opinion is as of October 22, 2018, the initial date of inspection
of the subject property. It is my understanding that the intended use of this appraisal will be in
conjunction with the redevelopment of the subject property. My client in this matter is the City
of McHenry. This appraisal was order by Douglas P. Martin, the Director of Economic
Development of the City of McHenry, on behalf of the City of McHenry.
DEFINITIONS
Market value, as used in this report, is defined as the most probable price which a property
should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the
buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected
by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date
and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1) Buyer and seller are
typically motivated, 2) both parties are well informed or well advised, acting in what they
consider their own best interest; 3) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4) payment is made in cash in U.S. Dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable
thereto; and 5) the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by
special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
Fee simple interest, as used in this report, is defined. in Tl�e Dictionary of Real Estate �Ippraisal,
as absolute ownership, unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the
limitations of eminent domain, escheat, police power, and taxation.

SCOPE OF WURK
The scope of work involved in this assignment included the physical inspection of the subject
property and its neighborhood, collection of factual information relative to the subject property,
preparation of a highest and best use analysis of the subject property, collection of market
information to allow the development of the sales comparison approach, development of the
sales comparison approach and reconciliation of its conclusions into a final market value opinion
of the subject property as of the date of value, and preparation of an appraisal report setting forth
the conclusions developed in this assignment as well as the information upon which the
conclusions were based.
Except as noted subsequently, the subject property is vacant land. Accordingly, the cast
approach is not appropriate to this valuation situation, and it has not been developed in this
assignment. The marina component of the subject property is leased to the adjacent D's Marina.
However, in keeping with hypothetical conditions incorporated into this appraisal assignment, all
of the building improvements associated with the marina will ultimately be demolished,, and the
income -producing characteristics of the subject property will be significantly affected. For this
reason I did not consider the subject property to be an income -producing investment, and
consequently the income capitalization approach is not appropriate to this valuation situation,
and it has not been developed in this assignment.
The only meaningful approach to value is the sales comparison approach. This approach has
bcen developed subject to the hypothetical conditions noted below, and has been based on the
highest and best use conclusions presented subsequently in this appraisal report. The extent of
the data collection process for each sales comparison approach will be addressed subsequently in
this report.
According to USPAP, an extraorriinaty asstimptiorz is an assignment -specific assumption, as of
the effective date regarding information used in an analysis, which, if found to be false, could
alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions. Uncertain information might include physical,
legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or conditions external to the property,
such as market conditions or trends; or the integrity of data used in an analysis.
This assignment is subject to four extraordinary assumptions:
1. According to a topographic survey of the subject property prepared by Baxter &
Woodman, dated September 6, 2018, the floodplain elevation of the Fox River
and the lagoon is 739.8 feet. Also on that survey most of the land in the former
wastewater treatment plant component and in the northwest portion of the former.
marina component exists with an elevation of 740 feet or higher. Most of the
south part of the former marina component appears to have an elevation at or
below 739.8 feet. This assignment is subject to the extraordinary assumption
that the northerly part of the subject property, which contains the former
wastewater treatment plant and the northwest portion of the former marina
component is contained in a Zone-X floodplain and that the southerly balance of
the subject property is contained in a Zone-AE floodplain of the Fox River. I
""
A.RRISQN �' Associates, Inc

SCOPE OF WORK, cont a.
recommend that a floodplain delineation survey be prepared in order to determine
which components of the subject property are located in a Zane-AE floodplain
and which components of the subject property are located in a Zone-X floodplain.
2. According to McHenry officials, the central wastewater treatment plant has been
decommissioned, Although the wastewater treatment infiastructure remains in the
wastewater treatment plant component of the subject property, this assignment is
subject to the extraordinary assumption that the decommissioning of the central
wastewater treatment plant has been completed in accordance with all laws, rules,
and regulations of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency,
3. This assignment is subject to the extraordinary assumption #hat there is no
negative environmental impact on the subject property resulting from the former
use of a component of the subject property as a wastewater treatment plant. I
recommend that at least a Phase I (and potentially a Phase 11) environmental
assessment of the subject property be performed to verify this assumption.
4, The component of the subject property known as Waukegan Road is a long,
narrow strip of land in the west part of the subj ect property, It connects the
former wastewater treatment plant component and the former marina component
to the dedicated portion of Waukegan Road. This road was created as a private
lane when land in the area was subdivided as Venice Park Unit No. 1. However,
it does provide access to several properties, including the homes in Riverwalk
Place, D's Marina, the wastewater treatment plant component and the former
marina component of the subject property, and Carey Electric. I have not been
provided with any evidence that this road was ever dedicated as a municipal
street; gather, it likely continues to be used as a private lane. This assignment is
subject to the extraordinary assumption that the Waukegan Road component of
the subject property is a private road, but also that it is subject to a prescriptive
easement for continued use as an access road for all properties that front on it,
According to USPAP, a Itypotlteticat condition is that which is contrary to what exists but is
supposed for the purpose of analysis. Hypothetical conditions assume conditions contrary to
known facts about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about
conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of
data used in an analysis.
This assignment is subject to one hypotheticalcondition.
1. For valuation purposes in this assignment, I have assumed that all of the building
and/or equipment improvements associated with the former wastewater treatment
plant component of the subject property, and all of the building improvements
associated with the former marina component of the subject property, do not exist.
Because they do, in fact, exist, this assumption is a hypothetical condition of this

assignment, In this appraisal assignment, the only improvements that I have
assumed to exist on the subject property are the seawalls, the boat slips and piers,
the water and electric lines serving the boat slips, the boat launching facilities in
the northeast corner of the former marina component of the subject property at the
Fox River, and the building and fencing enclosing the wastewater lift station in
the northwest coiner of the subject property,
There are no other liypotlaeticrcl co�riitivns or extraordinary assumptions affecting this
assignment. There is no personal property, intangible, non -real estate components, business
enterprise value, or going concern value included in this appraisal assignment.
This appraisal and appraisal repast are intended to comply with the appraisal development and
appraisal report writing requirements incorporated into the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The appraisal report is intended to be presented as a fully,
documented appraisal report presented in a narrative format,

Location and Boundaries
The subject property is amulti-use property located at the east terminus of Waukegan Road, at
is. This location is east of the south part of the Green Street
the Fox River, in McHenry, Illino
central business district in McHenry. The small neighborhood is heterogeneous, and is contained
entirely in McHenry. The boundaries of the neighborhood are Green Street on the west, John
Street on the south, the Boone Lagoon on the north, and the Fox River on the east. The subject
property is located in the east part of the neighborhood.
Neighborhood Composition
The overall district is nearly 100% built-up and developed. Most of the undeveloped land in the
neighborhood consists of public land, parking lots, land incapable of development because of
physical restraints, or land where a prior improvement was destroyed or demolished and•has not
yet been re�devcloped. Land uses throughout the neighborhood are quite heterogeneous. They
include residential uses, commercial uses, and special purpose uses.
Residential uses in the neighborhood occur along the Boone Lagoon, and in a small vintage
subdivision between Boone Lagoon and Route 120. The uses on the south side of Boone Lagoon
are part of a 20-unit condominium development known as Riverwalk Place. Eaeh.townhome-
style unit has its own boat slip on Boone Lagoon. The residential uses between Boone Lagoon
and Route 120 are vintage single-family residences in older subdivisions, including the Original
Plat of McHenry and Snyder's Subdivision.
McHenry has three central business districts, and two of them axe wholly or partially included in
the neighborhood boundaries. The Riverside Drive central business district exists on the west
side of the Fox River,, between the Boone Lagoon and Park Street; the Green Street central
business district exists between Route 120 and Waukegan Road. These two districts are
connected by part of the Illinois Route 120 highway commercial district. Most of the land in
both of these districts, and in the Route 120 highway commercial district, are developed with a
varicty of office and commercial uses.
The balance of the properties in the neighborhood are special use and special purpose properties.
These include the clubhouse and Hole #1 of the McHenry Country Club on the north side of John
Street, the east campus of McHenry High School on the east side of Green Street between
Waukegan Road and John Street, the Landmark School on the north side of Waukegan Road just
west of Green Street, the Miller Point property owned by the City of McHenry, part of the subject
property (the former central wastewater treatment plant), and components of McHenry's
Uverwalk. These components include a bridge over Boone Creek, brick walks along Boone
Lagoon and the Fox River, and a variety of recreational opportunities.
11244
NEIGHBORHOOD SUMMARY, cont a.
Property Uses Surrounding the Subject Property
The properties surrounding the subject property include the Riverwalk Place, D's Marina, and the
Boone Lagoon on the north, the Fox River on the east, the south part of the lagoon off of the Fox
River adjacent to a part of the south, the Carey Electric operation adjacent to part of the south
and part of the west, and the publicly -dedicated portion of Waukegan Road adjacent to part of the
west.
Zoning
McHenry controls the zoning within its corporate limits. Zoning in the central business districts,
the Route 120 highway commercial district, and the commercial uses along the Fox River are
mostly commercial. The residential developments in the area are zoned residentially. Most uses
are consistent with underlying zoning. Because the neighborhood is nearly fully developed, there
is no reasonable probability of rezoning within the neamerm future for much of the
neighborhood. However, there is a reasonable probability of rezoning on undeveloped sites or
redevelopment sites, providing the requested rezoning is consistent with other zoning in the
neighborhood and with McHenry's comprehensive plan.
Utilities
Neighborhood properties in McHenry are all served by water and sewer fiom McHenry. In
addition, the neighborhood is served by electricity, natural gas, telephone, and wireless service.
Trends
The primary trend in the neighborhood is to continue existing uses as developed. Real estafie
market conditions far all types of property have deteriorated over the past several years to the
point where most types of development have effectively ceased. There has been no significant
development in this portion of McHenry for many years, since there is, effectively, no available
undeveloped land. However, there has been quite a bit of redevelopment.
The former McHenry Hospital at the northeast comer of Greera Street and Waukegan Road was
redeveloped as the McHenry Villa, a senior independent living community. The former
McHenry Medical Group building at the southeast corner of Green Street and the'Boone Lagoon
was demolished and the site was developed with a multi -story residential/retail condominium
project. The former McHenry Theater at the northeast corner of Green Street and the Boone
Lagoon was recently completely renovated and expanded. The site at the southeast corner of
Green Street and Route 120, which had previously been developed with a Chinese restaurant and
apartments but was destroyed by fire, is being redeveloped with a restaurant. The only other
evidence of any development is the ongoing work associated with the Riverwalk project along
Boone Lagoon, which connects the Riverside Drive commercial district with the Green Street
commercial district. Because of current real estate and financing market conditions, the trend for
most undeveloped sites is to hold them as future development sites until such time as market
U

conditions have stabilized to the point where development is financially feasible. The trends
evident in the neighborhood should continue into the future. I do not anticipate any significant
level of development or redevelopment in the real estate market to occur within the foreseeable
future. `
Transportation
10
The neighborhood is adequately -situated with respect to transportation in southeast McIlemy
County. Illinois Route 120 crosses through the north part of the neighborhood, providing an
east/west arterial to serve the city. Illinois Route 31 crosses through McHenry a bit further to the
west, providing a north/south arterial to serve the city. Both Routes 120 and 31 connect with the
interstate highway system, but further to the south and east. There is a well -structured system of
county, township and city roads and highways providing automotive access throughout McHenry.
There is no significant public surface transportation in southeast McHenry County, generally
necessitating automobile ownership. However, there is limited public transportation using the
Dial -A -Ride service. The neighborhood is about an hour's drive Rom O'Hare International
Airport in Chicago. A spur line of the Metra commuter rail system extends to McHenry from the
main line in Crystal Lake,
Financing
Financing is available and affordable for most types of properly, but under current market
conditions is usually available only for acquisition financing and refinancing. Development
Financing has been reduced significantly for most types of properties, primarily because of the
risks associated with development under real estate market conditions where there is very little
demand for development land. Although financing remains affordable, interest rates are rising
somewhat and credit criteria has tightened somewhat. Rates and other terms are, for the most
part, competitive. At the present time, conventional financing is dominant for non-residential
properties, and conventional, FHA, and VA financing is available for residential properties.
Competition
The primary competitive and comparable marlcet area for the subject property is the
neighborhood itself However, because there have been very few sales in the neighborhood in
several years, it was necessary to expand the search to other commercial location's, not only in
McHenry but in other communities in southeast McHenry County, western Lake County, and
northeastern bane County. This included both waterfront and non -waterfront properties. The
extent of the search for comparable properties will be discussed subsequently in this appraisal
report. .

NEIGHBORHOOD SUMMARY, cont a.
Neiglrborhaod COnCluSiOn
All things considered, the subject neighborhood is a somewhat heterogeneous, mixed -use,
somewhat remote neighborhood on the cast side of McHenry. Although it contains some
commercial uses, it is not part of any major business district in McHenry. It does, however, have
frontage on both the Fox River and a lagoon. Demand for development and/or redevelopment
land for properties fronting on the Fox River had historically been rather high. Although
waterfront land is not as much in demand as it once was, the district should remain an important
component in McHenry, as redevelopment could be either commercial or residential (most likely
multifamily). The neighborhood should continue to be an attractive location for redevelopment
in the fixture.

floodplain that is not subject to flooding; in keeping with the extraordinary assumption
incorporated in the Scope of Work section of this appraisal report, this assignment is
subject to the extraordinary assumption that the northerly part of the subject property,
which contains the former wastewater treatment plant and the northwest portion of the
former marina component is contained in a Zone-X floodplain and that the southerly
balance of the subject property is contained in a Zone-AE floodplain of the Fox River; in
addition to the floodplain areas of the subject property, the floodplain map indicates that
about 10% of the subject property, along the Fox River frontage, is designated as a
regulatory floodway of the subject property; a Floodplain/Floodway Map has been
prepared as an exhibit in this report, with the approximate boundaries of the subject
property outlined in red, with the Zone-AE portions of the subject property colored in
blue, with the Zone�X (500-year) floodplain,land in the northwest portion of the site
colored in light tan, and with the regulatory floodway portion of the land indicated by
alternating, diagonal blue and pink lines
Wetlands Analysis
According to the McHenry County AD1D (Advanced Identification of Aquatic
Resources) system map, about 15°/o of the subject property is designated as an ADID
Other wetlands; these wetlands are mostly contained in and along the lagoon, as well as
i a the extreme southwest corner of the site, an ADID wetlands map has been prepared as
an exhibit in this report, with the approximately boundaries of the subject property
outlined MID in fed, and with the Awetlands shown in light blue diagonal lilies

.�nviYonmental Factors
No negative environmental factors noted during inspection; no environmental study or .
assessment furiushed; for purposes of this appraisal, I have assumed that there are no
negative environmental factors affecting the subject property; this assignment is subject
to the extraordinary assumption that there is no negative environmental impact on the
subject property resulting from the former use of a component of the subject property as a
wastewater treatment plant; however, I reserve the right to re -analyze my findings and
conclusions should any subsequent environmental studies or assessments indicate any
negative environmental factors

ZONING AND VTflER RESTRICTIONS
Most of the subject property is designated, under the existing Zoning Ordinance of McHenry,
Illinois, for use in compliance with the RS4 — High Density Single -Family Residential District
zoning classification. The Waukegan Road component of the subject property is designated fok
use in compliance with the O-1 Local Office District zoning classification. In McHenry's
comprehensive plan, the Waukegan Road component is designated as Low Density Residential,
the former wastewater treatment plant component is designated as Municipal, and the former
marina component is designated as Commercial. In keeping with the locational and physical
characteristics of the subject property, as well as surrounding zoning and zoning on other
properties fronting on the Fox River in McHenry, I have concluded that there is a reasonable
probability of a zoning change that would allow the subject property to be redeveloped as a
mixed -use, planned unit development. The most likely underlying zoning would be some sort of
commercial zoning that would allow high -density residential use as well as a variety of
commercial uses. To my knowledge, there are no other restrictions affecting the subject
property.
TAX AND ASSESSMENT DATA
The subject property is designated as Permanent Property Index Nttmbez•s 09-35-202-008, 09-35-
203-021, 09-35-203-022, 09-35-203-025, and 09-35-203-040. Being owned by the City of
McHenry, it is exempt from real estate taxation, and does not have an assessed value.

IMPROVEMENT SUMMARY
17
As noted in Lite Scope of Work section of this report, I have assumed that all of building and/or
equipment improvements associated with the former wastewater treatment plant component of
the subject property, and all of the building improvements associated with the former marina
component of the subject property, do not exist. Because they do, in fact, exist, this assumption
is a hypothetical condition of this assignment.
In this appraisal assigmnent, the only improvements that I have assumed to exist on the subject
property are the seawalls, the boat slips and piers, the water and electric lines serving the boat
slips, the boat launching facilities in the northeast coiner of the former marina component of the
subject property at the Fox River, and the building and fencing enclosing the wastewater, lift
station in the northwest corner of the subject property.
Seax�alls
There are three types of seawalls on the subject property —steel, concrete, and rip rap.
There are steel seawalls along about 90% of the frontage on the Fox River and on the east
330 feet of the north side of the lagoon. There is rip rap and concrete slab breakwaters
and seawalls along about 10% of the frontage on the Fox River (in the southeast corner of
the former wastewater treatment plant site and in the northeast corner of the former
marina site), on the west 3 90 feet of the north side of the lagoon, and along the east side
of the L-component of the lagoon.
Boat Slips and Pier
By my count, there are 66'boat slips, all fronting on the lagoon. Forty-nine of these front
on the north bank of the lagoon and 17 of these fronton the east bank of Lite lagoon. The
east 24 slips on the north bank of the lagoon have steel seawalls; the remainder have
concrete and rip rap breakwaters and seawalls. All of the boat slips are served by
electricity and water. There are 53 wood piers serving the 66 boat slips, all supported by
steel posts,
Boat Launching Facilities
There is a boat launching facility in the northeast comer of the former marina component
of the subject property. It consists of four boat slips and a steel structure designed to
aHow in and out boat service and boat launching. For valuation purposes in this
assignment, I have assumed that the boat launch improvements are owned by D's Marine,
the tenant of the property.

IMPROVEMENT SUMMARY, cont'd.
Miscellaneous 1'mpr•owments
Theca include on-shora lawn areas along the boat slips and a one-story masonry building
and a fenced enclosure in the northwest corner of the former marina component that
houses a lift station and the commencement of a forced wastewater main. The building
and fenced enclosure do not contribute to the overall value of the subject property.
Estimated Contributory Value of Improvements
• 7201ineal feet of steel seawall — $21,600
• 53 piers, including water and electricity — $53,000
• Boat launch improvements — $25,000
• Boat launch entitlement — $25,000
• 66 boat slip entitlements - $1985000
• Total — $322,600

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
19
As noted above, I have assumed that it is reasonably probably that there is a reasonable
probability of a zoning change that would allow the subject property to be redeveloped as a
mixed -use, planned unit development, with underlying zoning that would allow high -density
residential use as well as a variety of commercial uses. Other than size and the potential impact
of floodplain, wetlands, and regulatory floodway impacts, there are no physical limitations to
redevelopment of the subject property. There is an effective demand for available development
and redevelopment sites, particularly those with access to additional recreation facilities such as
the Fox River. This demand supports the conclusion that redevelopment as a mixed�use, planned
unit development is financially feasible. No alternative use creates a higher value while at the
same time conforming to the first three tests of highest and best use (legal permissibility, physical
possibility, and financial feasibility), supporting the conclusion that redevelopment as a mixed -
use, planned unit development is also maximally productive. The highest and best use of the
subject property is to redevelop the property as a mixed -use, planned unit development, subject
to the physical characteristics of the land. Incorporated into this opinion of highest and best use
is maintenance of the boat launching component of the subject property, the seawalls, and the
slips and piers, as well as the building and fenced enclosure of the lift station and commencement
of the forced wastewater main in the northwest corner of the former marina component of the
subject property.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Cmrview of the Approach
3l
The sales comparison approach, as the name implies, allows the appraiser to develop a market '
value opinion of a property by comparing it to similar properties in the market area that have sold
recently. Each property is investigated and analyzed. Major value -influencing factors are
identified, and adjustments are made to the sales, as appropriate, to reflect differences in the
major value -influencing factors. The resulting range of adjusted unit price is reconciled to the
property being appraised.
.tl�ajor Value-�nflitencing Characteristics
The major value -influencing characteristics of the subject property that were incorporated into
the search for comparable sales follow:
• The date of value is October 22, 2018.
• The subject property is in McHenry, and fronts on the Fox River. It is in a dead-
end location, and is not part of any of McHenry's central business districts.
• Most of the property is zoned RS-4 in McHenry. However, the highest and best
use of the subject property is to re -develop it, most likely as a mixed -use planned
unit development. I have projected uses to include high density residential uses as
well as commercial uses.
• The subject property is served by all utilities, including water and sewer.
• There are four extraordinary assumptions incorporated into this assignment.
They include the assumptions that (a) the north part of the subject site is in a
Zone-X floodplain and the south part of the site is in a Zone-AE floodplain, (b)
the decommissioning of the wastewater treatment plant was done in accordance
with the laws, rules, and regulations of the IEPA, (c) there are no negative impacts
on the subject property that occurred as a result of the former use of part of the
property as a wastewater treatment plant, and (d) Waukegan Road is subject to a
prescriptive easement that necessitates it remaining as a road.
• There is one liypotltetical condition incorporated into this assignment. I have
assuxa�ed that all of building and/or equipment improvements associated with the ,
former wastewater treatment plant component of the subject property, and all of
the building improvements associated with the former marina component of the
subject property, do not exist. In this appraisal assignment, the only
improvements that I have assumed to exist on the subject property are the
seawalls, the boat slips and piers, the water and electric lines serving the boat
slips, the boat"Iaunching facilities, and the building and fencing enclosing the
wastewater lift station.
11244
32
SALES CVIVEr K SUN APPROACH, Contd.
• Although the subject property contains 7.23 acres, only 4.94 acres constitutes the
portion of the site that is, effectively, capable of re -development. The 2.29-acre
balance of the site is the land in Waukegan Road and the land in the lagoon that
accommodates the boat slips.
• Improvements included in the valuation include 7201ineal feet of steel seawall,
rip rap and concrete seawall, 53 wood piers (including electricity and water hook-
ups), 66 boat slips, and the boat launch area. The estimated contributory value of
the steel seawalls, the piers, the boat launch entitlement, and the slip entitlements
is $32276000
• About 10% of the subject property, along the Fox River, is designated as a
regulatory floodway of the Fox River.
Marizet Data
The following sales are transactions of small acreage commercial development sites in eastern
McHenry County and western Lake County. All were purchased for some type of commercial
development and/or redevelopment. Each has some degree of comparability to the 4.94-acre
component of the subject property that is capable of re -development. The sales that I selected as
comparables occurred between April 2013 and January 2017. The sales contained between
2.6189 acres and 18:374 acres. Differences between the sales and the subject property were
addressed through the comparative adjustment process. The sales are presented chronologically,
starting with the oldest. A Sale Map is presented at the end of this section of the appraisal report,
showing the location of the subject property and the. comparable sales.

of the site in conjunction with the Rivemallc project along Boone Creek
and the Fox River. At one time this property was improved with an older
single-family residence that was remodeled into the Dobyn's House
restaurant. The Dobyn's House restaurant closed and the property was
leased as Joey T's, another restaurant. Several years ago, the building was
destroyed by fire and the site was never re -developed. The site was near
level, non -wooded, contained a small amount of wetlands along Boone
Creek, but was about 75% designated as a Zone-AE floodplain, with a
small. area (about 5%) designated as a regulatory floodway of the Fox
River and Boone Creek. The only seawalls along the Fox River and

Analysis
A comparative analysis has been compiled, and the above -captioned sale properties were reduced
to appropriate unit prices for comparison to the 4.94-acre component of the subject property
capable of re-devclopment. The appropriate unit of comparison for this type of property in this .
market area is sale price per square foot of land area. Points of comparative analysis typically
include property rights conveyed, financing, conditions of sale, market conditions, location,
physical characteristics, and other factors relative to the appraisal of this type of property.
All of the sales involved the transfer of fee simple interest, using cash or cash equivalent
fnancing. Therefore, no adjustments were required for property rights conveyed or for
financing. Sales #1, #3, #4 and #5 were all apparently arrn's length transfers without any duress.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH, cont'd.
36
Even though the purchasers of Sales #1, #3 and #4 had the right of eminent domain, the purchase
prices were fixed by amicable negotiations. I concluded that Sales #1, #3, #4 and #5 did not
require any adjustments for sale conditions. Sale #2 was an REO sale, which is typically sold at
some level of discount. Therefore, I adjusted Sale #2 upward by 10% for this factor. Subsequent
adjustments to Sale #2, as appropriate, were made on the basis of its unit prices adjusted for sale
conditions.
Over the period of time encompassed by the sales, development land values have appreciated
somewhat. I adjusted all of the sales upward at the rate of 3% per year, reflecting the relatively
modest appreciation rate for vacant development and/or re -development sites that has occurred
over the period of time encompassed by the sales. Subsequent adjustments to the sales, as
necessary, were made on the basis of unit prices adjusted for market conditions.
Liven the nature of the subject property and of the comparables selected, it is not surprising that
some additional adjustments were required for each sale. These were made, as appropriate, for
physical characteristics, river/lake frontage, water/sewer availability, zoning, and location. Each
of these adjustments is described below.
Physical Characteristics -
In keeping with the extraordinary assumptions in this assignment, I have concluded that
the north half of the subject property is in a Zone-X floodplain and that the south half of
the subject property is in a Zonc-AE floodplain of the Fox River. Sales #1 and 42 were
adjusted upward by 10% for their inferiority with respect to physical characteristics. Sale
#1 had about 75% of its land in a Zone-AE floodplain; Sale #2 had about 10% of its land
in Pistakee Lake. I adjusted Sales #3, #4 and #5 downward by 10% because none of
those sales had any meaningful Zone-AE floodplain land or wetlands.
River/Lalre`Frontage
The subject property fronts an the Fox River, a desirable characteristic for high density
single-family residential development and commercial development. Sale #1 was similar
to the subject property in that it fronted on the Fox River and on Boone Creek; Sale #2
was similar to the subject property in that it fronted on Pistakee Lake. I adjusted Sales
#3, #4 and #S upward by 25% because none of them had river or lake frontage.
Water/Sewer Availability
Like the subject property, Sales #1, #2 and #5 had'water and sewer immediately available
for development. I adjusted Sales #3 and #4 upward by 25%because they did not have
water and sewer availability at the time of their sale.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH, cont a.
Zoning
The subject property is zoned for high- density residential development, and I have
assumed in this assignment that thete was a reasonable probability that it could obtain
zoning to allow it to be developed as a mixed -use planned unit development. All of the
sales had equivalent zoning. However, Sale #3 had single-family residential zoning. I
adjusted Sale #3 upward by 10% for this factor.
Location
The subject property is located in a dead-end commercial district in McHenry, with
frontage on the Fox River. Sales #1 and #2 had similar locational characteristics. Sales
#3 and #4 were in Johnsburg, on a secondary road. I adjusted both of those sales upward
by 10% for their inferior locations. I adjusted Sale #5 downward by 10% for its superior
location, fronting at a corner location at a major highway in McHenry.
Because I concluded that other physical and locational factors between the sale properties and the
subject property A were, effectively, equivalent, no additional adjustments were considered.
Percentage adjustments, as used in this report, are intended more to reflect the degree of
difference between a sale property and a subject property than they are intended to reflect
mathematical precision. Accordingly, a 10% adjustment in this sales comparison approach is
intended to reflect a slight difference, whereas a 25% adjustment is intended to reflect a more
significant difference.
Reconciliation
The range of adjusted unit prices is $4.13 to $6.53 per square foot of land area. The mid -point of
this range is $5.33 per square foot; the median of this range is $5.31 per square foot; the mean of
this range is $5.34 per I
square foot. All of the sales have the about the same degree of
comparability to the subject property. I have reconciled the range near its indications of central
tendency, at $5.30 per square foot. Based on the 4.94 acres of the subject property that
constitutes the portion capable of development, the resulting value of that component by the sales
comparison approach is $1,140,487.
Additional Adjustments
The value of the 4.94-acre component of the subject property that is capable of development,
$1,140,487, is subject to the extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions addressed in
the Scope of Work section of this appraisal. however, it only represents land value of a portion
of the property. It does not address land value for the other land components, nor does it address
the value of improvements and entitlements. These additional value are addressed on the
following page.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH, cont'd.
an Value — Waukegan Road
The portion of the subject properly in Waukegan Road contains 0.46 acres, or 205037.60
square feet. In this appraisal, I have assumed that the land in Waukegan Road (PIN #09-
35-202-008) is subject to a prescriptive easement that, effectively, relegates its use to that
of a road. I have concluded that the land value of the 0.46-acre component of the subject
property that is contained in Waukegan Road is $1.00 per square foot, or $20,000
(rounded).
Land Value —Lagoon and Southwest Strip of Land
The portion of the subject property in the lagoon as well as in the strip of land in the
southwest coiner of the site between the west bank of the lagoon and the west property
line contains 1.83 acres, or 79,714.80 square feet. Most of this land is under water. I
have concluded that the land value of the 1.83-acre component of the subject property
that is contained in the lagoon and in the strip of land in the southwest corner of the site is
$0.10 per square foot, or $8,000 (rounded).
SeawalE Value
Based upon my analysis of replacement cost and depreciation factors, I have concluded
that the value of the 720 feet of steel seawall on the subject property is $30 per lineal foot,
or $21009
Piers, Water and Electric
There are S3 piers in the lagoon of the subject property. They are all supported by steel
posts and the face of all of the piers are wood slats. All piers are served by electricity and
water. Based upon my analysis of replacement cost and depreciation factors, coupled
with the apparent condition of the piers, I have concluded that the value of the 53 piers in
the lagoon component of the subject property is $1,000 per pier, or $53,000.
Boat Launch Irnproveznents Value
Based upon my analysis of replacement cast and depreciation factors, I have concluded
that the value of the boat launch improvements in the northeast cornea of the former
marina component of the subject property is $25,000.
Boat Launch and Boat Slip Entitlements
Several years ago the Army Corps of Engineers did a count of all commercial boat launch
facilities and all boat slips on the Chain O'Lakes and the Fox River, north of the
Algonquin Dam. The Army Corps ruled that there could be no net boat launches or boat
slips than what existed at the time they made their count. Consequently, any property

owner that wanted to acquire or expand boat launches and/or boat slips had to acquire
them from another party that was selling boat launches and/or boat slip. Once a boat
launch or boat slip entitlement was sold, the Army Corps required its removal from the
seller's property. On the date of value in this assignment, there is not a particularly active
market for boat launch and boat slip entitlements. Prior to the mid-2000s new marinas
were being developed and existing marinas were expanding, and boat slip entitlements
were being sold for $10,000 per slip, or more. However, over the past several years
demand for boat launch and boat slip entitlements has diminished significantly. The most
recent sale of boat slip entitlements of which I am aware was by the Lake County Forest
Preserve District (LCFPD). In 2011, the LCFPD purchased the Lake Marie Fishing and
Boating Camp from the owners. Included in the sale were entitlements for 45 boat slips
and 1 boat launch. Subsequent to the sale, in 2014, the LCFPD sold 41 boat slips to the
owner of the Bald Knob Marina on Pistakee Lake for $2,000 per slip. The market for
boat slips has probably increased slightly since the LCFPD sale in 2014. Additionally,
the subject property fronts in a commercial area on the Fox River in McHenry. I have
concluded that the value of the 66 boat slip entitlements is $3,000 per slip, or $198,000.
The combined contributory value of the boat launch and the boat slip entitlements is
$223,000. 1
Conclusion
The overall value of the entire subject property, including land, improvements and entitlements,
sine sure of the land value ($1,140,487), the estimated contributory value of the land in
Waukegan Road ($20,000), the estimated contributory value of the land in the lagoon and in the
southwest strip of land ($8,000), the estimated contributory value of the steel seawalls ($21,600),
the estimated contributory value of the 53 piers ($53,000), the estimated contributory value of the
boat launch improvements ($25,000), the estimated contributory value of the boat launch
entitlement ($25,000), and the estimated contributory value of the boat slip entitlements
($198,000). This sum is $1,491,087. It is expressed in round numbers as $1,491,000,

RECONCILIATION AND CONCLUSION
Overview
41
In the appraisal of the subject property, only the sales comparison approach was developed. F oi•
the reasons addressed in the Scope of Work section of this report, I concluded that neither the
cost approach nor the income capitalization approach was meaningful and I did not develop them
in this assignment. The value indication of the subject property by the sales comparison
approach is $1,491,000.
Sales Comparison Approach
In the sales comparison approach five sales of commercial development sites were selected and
analyzed in conjunction with the valuation of the usable component of the subject property.
Given the diversity among the sales, it is not surprising that all required some adjustments.
However, the adjustments were not difficult or unusual, and were not so significant that they
affected the validity of the approach. One of the sales was adjusted for sale conditions; all of the
sales were adjusted for market conditions and physical characteristic differences; two were
adjusted for their lack of water and sewer availability; three were adjusted for locational
differences; three were adjusted for their lack of lake or river frontage; one was adjusted for its
zoning. The range of adjusted unit prices was reconciled near its central tendency indications.
This was the only approach applicable to the valuation of the usable land component, and I have
placed primary reliance on its conclusions in my final conclusions.
Additional adjustments were made to the value conclusion of the usable land component of the
subject property for the estimated contributory value of (a) the land in Waukegan Road, (b) the
Iand in the lagoon and in the strip' of land in the southwest corner of the site, (c) the steel
seawalls, (d) the 53 piers (including electricity and water hookups), (c) the boat launch site
improvements, (e) the boat launch entitlement, and (f) the 66 boat slip entitlements.
Conclusion "
In view of the foregoing, it is my conclusion that market value of the fee simple interest of the
subject property was, subject to the Lintitr'ng Conditions artdAssuntptions contained in the
report as well as to the extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions explained in
the Scope of Work section of the report, as of October 22, 2018, measured in the amount of
$1.491 MILLION DOLLARS---------------------------------------------------------------(�1,491,004}.
Allocation
The value of the subject property concluded in this appraisal — $1,491,000 --- is allocated as
$1,268,000 to the land and improvements and $223,000 to the boat launch and boat slip
entitlements.

RECONCII.IATION AND CONCLUSrON, cont'd.
Exposure Time
Exposure time is def ned as the estimated length of time the properly would have been offered on
the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date
of the appraisal. Given my observations relative to this property, i have concluded that if the
subject property had been listed at a reasonable price, had been professionally marketed, and had
been given reasonable and sufficient exposure to the commercial development/redevelopment
market in McHenry, it would have been on the market for approximately a 12-month period of
lime in order to have been sold at or near the appraised value.
