4. Annual Summary of National Pollutants Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Stormwater Discharge Permit.
Director of Public Works Schmitt informed the Committee that as a requirement of the
NPDES Stormwater Discharge permit issued by the IEPA, city staff is required to
provide the Public Works Committee with an annual update of the current stormwater
program. Wastewater Superintendent Ruzicka who administers the program, provided
the Committee with an update on this year's activities. He reported to date.
• 440 man-hours spent on creek -cleaning and 40 yards of debris was removed.
• In January, the IEPA performed an audit on the MS4 program and the city is in
compliance. Official results will be available in the next few weeks. This is an
unfunded mandate and all costs are paid by the city. Changes were recently made
Public Works Committee Meeting Report
April 17, 2017

to the compliance requirements. The city will now be performing Sewer/Shed
Focus Monitoring consisting of monitoring stormwater runoff from industrial,
residential, and commercial areas for pollutants such as oil and grease. The city is
now required to maintain the MS4 annual report on its website for five years. The
city is now required to incorporate changing weather patterns in its stormwater
literature and must informed citizens of the frequency and severity of the storms.
Greater rainfall amounts increase the probability of pollutants entering streams,
rivers, and lakes. These changes will be incorporated into the next printing of
stormwater literature.
Discussion: Alderman Wimmer asked if grass entering the storm sewer creates a
problem. Superintendent Ruzicka said grass clippings are not a problem, but fertilizer
and chemicals on the clippings may cause a hazard. There have also been incidents of
residents pouring paint, other chemicals, and dog feces into storm sewers. Director
Schmitt reported pool water emptied into storm sewers is also a hazard because of the
chemicals in the water. Alderman Glab asked what options residents have to dispose of
pool water and Superintendent Ruzicka reported there are chemicals available for
purchase to de -chlorinate the water to acceptable levels prior to pumping the water into
the storm sewer. Alderman Glab asked if this information is located in the city's
ordinance and Director Schmitt answered this is covered under our NPDES permit, by
federal law, and is also included in the city's adopted Stormwater Management
Ordinance.
Chairman Alderman Schaefer asked if farmland is tested. Superintendent Ruzicka
answered the IEPA does not test farmland and is not directing local agencies to check
agricultural land although it can be a problem due to phosphates and nitrogen. Chairman
Alderman Schaefer asked if the city receives complaints or do we actively search for
violations. Superintendent Ruzicka reported that part of the MS4 requirements is annual
stormwater training for city employees to educate them on how to spot violations.
Approximately 90% of the calls he receives about possible illicit discharge come from
city employees in the field observing something while doing their job.
Alderman Glab asked why during the recent creek cleaning performed on the west side of
Dartmoor, crews left the plant stalks and scrub trees in the creek. Superintendent
Schweda said he will ask the city's arborist why they were not removed noting the plants
may be natural to the creek and may be necessary for bank stabilization. Alderman Glab
asked Director Schmitt to email him with an explanation.
The Committee thanked Superintendent Ruzicka for the update.
5. Review list of roads included in the 2017 proposed Road Program and recommendation
to direct staff to present the program to the full City Council.
Director Schmitt reported the CIP includes $1.15 for street resurfacing of which
approximately $100,000 will be used for pavement maintenance (Reclamite) of roads and
parking lots that we resurfaced last year and McCullom Lake Road that was resurfaced
two years ago.
Public Works Committee Meeting Report
April 17, 2017
Page 3
Streets are grouped by areas to cut down on mobilization costs. Five scenarios were
provided to the committee for review (Option #1 — 5). Director Schmitt reported a
correction to Option #2, Curran Road runs from Dartmoor to Ojibwa and to just short of
Route 120. Staff seeks a recommendation to bring forward to the full City Council.
Director Schmitt noted the engineering design and construction engineering will be
performed in-house by Project Engineer Strange saving about 10% of the total project
costs. The city will incur a cost of less than $10,000 for material testing that will have to
be contracted out.
Staff s recommendation is Option #1. The city has received numerous complaints from
residents riding in ambulances to the hospital about the rough road conditions. The
business park (Ridgeview off of Bull Valley Road to Prime Parkway) is rapidly
deteriorating due to heavy truck traffic. These areas are highly traveled.
Discussion: Chairman Alderman Schaefer asked if any of the options could be combined
noting he has received several complaints about the condition of Pearl Street and Lincoln
Road. Director Schmitt said the options were developed based on the funds available for
the project. He further stated the city received $1.5M grant from STP funding for Pearl
and Lincoln Road. Staff was seeking advanced funding for the project for 2017 however
our request was denied. Staff will make another request in January 2018 to receive
advanced funding for the 2018 construction season. The city is in a partnership with the
township for this project at a 20% match on their sections. Director Schmitt reported
staff pursues all possible grants for roads.
Alderman Wimmer stated he understands the streets proposed for resurfacing highlighted
in red (Centegra Dr, Ridgeview Dr, Medical Center Drive, Lawrence Parkway) are
recommended by staff however he feels the Option highlighted in Green (Pebble Creek,
Brighton Place, Westminster Place, Amberwood Place, Dorchester Place, Geneva Place,
Ronda Drive, Loch Glen Lane, Valley Road, Katie Lane) includes more streets, however
he also agreed the roads around the hospital are in bad shape and in need of resurfacing.
As a result, he would support Option #1.
Alderman Glab asked the age of the streets around the hospital and why they in bad
shape. He also questioned the thickness of the asphalt and asked if it is the base or the
asphalt that deteriorates and are we in such a rush to get the project completed that the
base was not compacted properly. He also asked if there grant money available to
improve hospital roads. A discussion ensued on FAU Route grant requirements and
rankings used to determine grant eligibility and how roads are scored for grant funding.
Director Schmitt suggested that if the Committee desires, this could be a topic for a future
meeting.
Alderman Wimmer expressed his support for the Reclamite program.
Alderman Glab stated he would rather see Option #1 include Trails of Winding Creek or
Option #3 approved for 2017 and asked how old the streets are around Centegra.
Public Works Committee Meeting Report
April 17, 2017
Page 4
Director Schmitt answered Gladstone (formally Ring Road) was built at least seven or
eight years ago and the roads proposed at Centegra are original roads built over 30 years
oId. Alderman Glab suggested Option #1 be included in a larger road program in another
fiscal year when there is more city money available.
Alderman Glab asked if the city's snowplowing is causing roads to deteriorate more
quickly. He asked if it was necessary to clear streets of snow down to the pavement. The
scraping may damage the roads. Alderman Wimmer noted plowing is a safety issue.
Superintendent Schweda reported patches are not scraped up by plows; crews are never
re -patching a street patch and added that basically our roads are just old.
Alderman Glab continued a discussion on the question of why are city roadways
deteriorating so quickly and suggested that the city's ordinance be amended to require
developers to build roads to stricter standards. Engineer Strange said in his experience,
the pavement standards we use are typical. The FAU routes that trucks use are built with
a heavier standard. It's all based on the equivalent, single-axel loads that they
experience, which determines how thick the road will be. Director Schmitt added the
city also uses those same standards when building residential streets versus collector
streets and language is included in development agreements regarding road construction.
Alderman Glab recommended the Committee review the standards.
Alderman Schaefer stated he receives several complaints about the condition of Green
Street from Pearl to Washington. In the analysis it is goes from Elm to Washington
however the Elm to Pearl section is in good shape. Are the good and bad sections of a
street combined to achieve ranking? Superintendant Schweda added that it's more
efficient and cost -effect to improve larger sections of the same street. When they are done
piece -meal, the street is never completely improved.
Alderman Wimmer made a motion, seconded by Chairman Alderman Schaefer to
recommend Option #1, (Centegra Dr, Ridgeview Dr, Medical Center Drive, Lawrence
Parkway) to the full City Council for the 2017 Road Resurfacing Program.
Voting Aye:
WiSchaefer
Director Schmitt noted this year a parking lot inventory was performed. As shown on the
list, this is another matter that will need to be addressed in the near future. Alderman
Wimmer asked why the parking lots are not seal -coated. Director Schmitt said we are
now performing pavement maintenance on parking lots. Superintendant Schweda noted
seal -coating is great for driveways, however does not protect the surface of the pavement.
Reclamite is a better option. Chairman Alderman Schaefer asked if usage is considered
when parking lots are ranked. Director Schmitt noted that could be used however at this
time they are just ranked on condition.

6. Annual review of requests submitted for Honorary Street Sign Designations and if
recommended, the applications will be presented to the full City Council for
consideration.
Director Schmitt reviewed the Honorary Street Sign Designation policy as revised in
2016. Three designations were submitted to the Committee for recommendation.
Pursuant to the policy, only one can be approved per calendar year. Alderman Wimmer
asked if one of the three applications presented is approve, what happens to the other two
applications. Director Schmitt recommended the applications received in 2017 and any
others that may be received this year, will be reviewed by the Committee in the first
quarter of 2018. Only one review per year will be conducted.
After some discussion, the Committee chose to recommend the application in honor of
Donald Howard for an Honorary Street Designation as it meets all the criteria.
Motion by Chairman Alderman Schaefer, seconded by Alderman Glab to recommend the
application in honor of Donald Howard to the full City Council for an Honorary Street
Designation.

COMMITTEE AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: September 11, 2017
TO: Public Works Committee
FROM: Jon M. Schmitt, Director of Public Works
RE: No Parking/No Standing Glenbrook Trail
ATT: Letters to residents and email responses, and area map
BACKGROUND: Alderman Condon has received several requests from Glenbrook Trail residents
to install "no parking/no standing" signs on Glenbrook Trail due to safety concerns when
Riverwood School is dismissed at the end of the day.
ANALYSIS: Staff sent the attached letter to Glenbrook Trail residents between Driftwood Trail and
Cross Trail (35 properties) requesting feedback on a proposed ordinance creating No Parking/ No
Standing between the hours of 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm on school days forthe south side of Glenbrook
Trail from Driftwood Trail to Cross Trail. Three email responses were received (attached) one in
favor and two opposed to the proposed ordinance as written. It is of staff's opinion the south
side of Glenbrook Trail is the best location to impose the no parking/no standing so children are
not crossing Glenbrook Trail to gain access to waiting vehicles.
Staff also mailed a letter (attached) inviting the residents on Glenbrook Trail to the Public Works
Committee Meeting to discuss the proposed ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if the Public Works Committee concurs, it is recommended to
direct staff to draft an ordinance to present to full City Council amending the City of McHenry
Traffic Control Ordinance for No Parking/No Standing Glenbrook Trail as described above.
The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest

RE: No Parking/No Standing on Glenbrook Trail
Dear Resident,
Alderman Condon has received several requests from people residing on Glenbrook Trail to install "no
parking/no standing" signs on one side of Glenbrook Trail due to safety concerns when school is dismissed
at the end of the day at Riverwood School. For "no parking/no standing" to be enforceable by the
McHenry Police Department, an ordinance must be approved by the City Council. The process requires
Public Works staff to recommend an ordinance to the Public Works Committee, who reviews and then
forwards the proposed ordinance to the full City Council for consideration.
Public Works staff recommends creating an ordinance for "no parking/no standing" between the hours of
3:00 pm to 4:30 pm on school days on the south side of Glenbrook Trail from Driftwood Trail to Cross Trail
(see attached map).
Prior to presenting a proposed ordinance to the Public Worl<s Committee, I am requesting feedback from
residents who live on Glenbrool<Trail between Driftwood Trail and Cross Trail. Please contact my office at
815-363-2186 or email me at Ischmitt@ci.mchenry.il.us and provide me with your comments by

Hi Jon
We live at 4820 W. Glenbrook Trail and our concern is that if there is no parking on the south side of Glenbrook, then all
the cars will be on the north side, and that is us. We are the ones that contacted Alderwoman Condon on this
matter. And the problem started when the school decided to change the traffic pattern for the school buses and didn't
let the city know. Cars start coming at 3 o'clock to pick up their kids from school and school doesn't get out until 3:45.
If there is no standing or parking on the south side of the street, they will be lining up on the north side, and that means
driveways will be blocked. We have had this happened and the parents aren't to nice when you ask them to move
because they will lose their place in line.
Also with leaf pickup, if cars are parked in the street, leaves will not be picked up. Also garbage, with waster
management our garbage on the north side of Glenbrook was picked up at 7 in the morning, now with Prairie Lane it is
later in the day. How will this affect the pick up of our garbage.
Also, it is our understanding that there will be no marked cross walks and it is up to the school to put up a stop sign. Is
this correct?
Thanks for listening.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
DATE: September 11th, 2017
TO: Public Worl<s Committee
FROM: Deputy Chief John Birl<
RE: Revision to Overnight Parking Hours in Downtown Business District
ATT: Proposed Ordinance Revision
Agenda Item Summary: Staff is seeking the Committee's support and recommendation to amend the
City's Traffic and Motor Vehicle Code, section 13-604, No Parking tam to Gam, to extend parking hours
in the downtown business district on Saturday mornings, Sunday mornings and on specific holidays for
the below locations specifically;
• Riverside Drive between Route 120 and Broad Street;
• Green Street between Waukegan Road and Pearl Street;
• Waukegan Road between Green Street and the end of the Riverwalk Center Property;
• Pearl Street between Green Street and the Pearl Street Bridge;
• Main Street between Front Street and the railroad tracks and;
• All municipal parking spaces (except for permitted spaces) found within the Main Street
municipal lot, Court Street municipal lot and Riverside Drive municipal lot.
Specifically, staff is requesting that the Committee consider a revision to Ordinance 13-604 that extends
the parking hours of the above designated street locations to Sam on Saturday mornings, Sunday
mornings and on specific holidays that enable businesses with liquor licenses to extend their business
hours on weekdays past 1 a.m.
Background: Presently, the City of McHenry has a no parking ordinance (13-604) which prohibits
parking on all public streets within McHenry between the hours of tam and Gam daily. Over the course
of the last year, the Police Department received an increased amount of parking complaints specific to
late night hours in the downtown business district.
Currently, there are fifteen downtown businesses that hold liquor licenses that allow them to serve
alcohol. On Saturday and Sunday mornings these license classifications allow businesses to serve
alcohol until tam and permit their patrons to remain within their businesses until 2:15am. Once these
businesses close for the evening, staff begins the process of cleaning up and leaves the premises
normally by Sam.
The Police Department seeks ways to positively affect the businesses within our community. With that
in mind, police staff has reviewed Ordinance 13-604 as it is written and enforced, in order to provide a
revision recommendation.
Analysis: As Ordinance 13-604 is written currently, patrons of these fifteen downtown businesses could
be in violation of the parking ordinance if they left their vehicles parked on the roadway past 2am. It is
not uncommon for these businesses to allow their patrons (in accordance with the law) to remain in
their establishments until 2:15am so that they may finish whatever drinks they may have. The parking
ordinance is in clear contradiction with liquor licensing laws. In recent years the police have used
discretion to avoid enforcing these violations due to these facts. This 2am parking regulation can also
place those who consume alcohol in a situation where they choose to drive their vehicle because it is
illegally parked rather than make other arrangements.
Additionally, the employees who work at these fifteen establishments often must remain on the
premise to clean up after closing time. This process, observed by the police on the midnight shift most
always is completed by 3am. These employees must park their vehicles in back business lots to avoid
parking citations. This forces employees to walk into dark back parking lots to reach their vehicle. This
poses a safety concern for these employees which the Police Department supports.
This original ordinance was written to support the City's need to clean streets and remove snow.
Traditionally streets are not cleaned between the hours of 2am and 3am on Saturday and Sunday
mornings making this proposed revision of little impact to street cleaning efforts. Snow removal is
conducted at all hours of the day and night but for snow falls that require special snow removal
operations (over 2 inches of snowfall) in the downtown business district the City has a separate
Ordinance 13-602 Parking Limited During Snow Removal. This separate ordinance would meet the
needs of the City in making sure streets are cleared during snow removal operations in the business
district.
Finally, the City has openly recognized that prosperity of the downtown business district is a priority.
Police believe that by making the revision to 13-604, the following would occur:
• The City would affirm their commitment to the business owners of the downtown business
district.
• Increased safety by allowing parking on well -lit roadways.
• Allow people who have consumed too much alcohol to find an alternate way home with time to
remove their car before a citation is issued.
• The City would be able to maintain the same level of service regarding the objectives of street
cleaning and snow removal.
Recommendation: Therefore, if the Public Works Committee concurs, it is recommended to present the
revision to the Traffic and Motor Vehicle Code, Sectionl3-604 as described above to the full City Council
for consideration.
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.
