REQUEST FOR MINOR VARIANCE—DAVID KALLAY, 500 BALLY ROAD Deputy City Administrator Martin stated Mr. David Kallay, property owner of 500 Bally Road, is requesting two minor variances to allow an existing 256 square foot shed on his property. The variances requested are to allow more than two accessory structures on the premises and permission to exceed the maximum area of 1,000 square feet for all accessory structures on the site. Deputy City Administrator Martin noted the applicant appeared at a Public Hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 4, 2010 where a request for four variances was recommended for denial by a 5-2 vote. The four variances being requested at that time included: 1. Placement of more than two accessory structures on the subject property; 2. Exceeding the maximum area of 1,000 square feet for all accessory structures on the property; 3. Permitting an accessory structure to be located in the required side yard less than three feet from the property line; 4. Permitting less than the minimum separation distance required between accessory structures on a site. Regular Meeting Page S July 12,2010 Deputy City Administrator Martin noted the applicant has since relocated the accessory structure on his property, and now no longer requires four variances. He noted since the applicant has been cooperative and reduced the need for four variances and made an attempt to bring his property closer into compliance, Staff supports the request for the two remaining variances: 1. To allow more than two accessory structures on a residential property; 2. To exceed the maximum cumulative area of 1,000 square feet for accessory structures on the premises. Deputy City Administrator Martin noted since there was a recommendation of denial from the Planning and Zoning Commission, a vote of 5 of 7 aldermen is required to override the recommendation. Alderman Santi stated he has spoken with Mr. Kallay and noted the accessory structures are not unsightly and are aesthetically pleasing. Alderman Glab opined the applicant should have complied with City ordinances. If a variance is issued, then the City is condoning a future non-compliance issue as a precedent would be set. Alderman Schaefer stated the contractor should have been knowledgeable regarding City requirements relating to accessory structures. Alderman Wimmer stated he had no problem with the request, particularly as the applicant has a large lot. Alderman Peterson noted a mistake was made, but the resident should not be penalized for the error. He concurred the structures were aesthetically pleasing. Alderman Schaefer noted he is pleased the applicant is working with Staff to correct his mistake. Alderman Glab expressed concern that he could not find the proper address posted on the property. Alderman Peterson noted his only concern is that the "shed" is built according to City code requirements. The applicant has already paid one and one-half times the building permit fee for his error in not securing a permit prior to construction of the shed. Motion by Santi, seconded by Wimmer, to accept Staff's recommendation and to overrule the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, to pass an ordinance providing for the following variances to David Kallay for his property located at 500 Bally Road: .� 1. To allow four accessory structures on the subject property; Regular Meeting Page 6 July 12,2010 2. To allow 1,621 square feet for all accessory structures on the subject premises. Voting Aye: Santi, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: Glab. Absent: None. Motion carried. LEASE AGREEMENT FOR MAIN STREET STATION LOCATED AT 4005 WEST MAIN STREET—TREY AND TOM CORPORATION Deputy City Administrator Martin stated Council annually considers a lease with Trey and Tom Corporation for the rental of the train station on an annual basis. The corporation operates Main Street Saloon on the premises. The property is leased by the City from the Union Pacific Railroad, and the City in turn sub-leases the building to Trey and Tom Corporation. The amount of the lease would remain at $950 per month. The lease would be for one year with an option to renew for one year. It is Staffs recommendation to approve the lease as presented. Alderman Glab stated everyone is pleased with the tenant. The City is fortunate to have such a responsible tenant on the site. Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Condon, to accept Staff's recommendation to approve a lease agreement with Trey and Tom Corporation for the term of one year beginning September 1, 2010 with an option to renew for an additional year for the Union Pacific Railway Station located at 4005 West Main Street, including a monthly rental payment of$950. Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR AMENDMENT TO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 14 RELATING TO TOBACCO REGULATIONS Deputy City Administrator Martin stated a letter was received from Kevin Chrzanowski of Zukowski, Rogers, Flood and McArdle recommending the City pass an ordinance revising current tobacco regulations contained in Municipal Code, Chapter 14. He noted the state statutes have been amended requiring each municipality to update local ordinances which govern tobacco sales and use. Deputy City Administrator Martin noted the proposed ordinance contains provisions relating to the requirement that tobacco vendors complete a vendor education program prior to the license being issued. He suggested removing that provision as a requirement of the ordinance as it has never been enacted. It is Staff's recommendation the ordinance provided by Mr. Chrzanowski be approved as amended. , Regular Meeting Page 7 July 12,2010 Motion by Santi, seconded by Wimmer, to accept Staff's recommendation to pass an ordinance providing for the amendment of the Municipal Code Chapter 14 Sections 14-37 through 14-44, Tobacco Regulations, subject to the deletion of the provision requiring completion of a Vendor Education Program by prospective licensees. Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE $5.66 MILLION IN GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR CWWTP AND SWWTP SANITARY SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS Finance Director Black stated in March 2010 the Council approved proceeding with the project to improve the sanitary sewer system. The total estimated cost of the project is $7.86 million which includes the following improvements: 1. Modifications to the raw wastewater pumping station at the CWWTP; 2. Construction of the force main providing the conveyance between the CWWTP and SWWTP; 3. Installation of fine screen units at both the CWWTP and SWWTP; and 4. Various upgrades to the CWWTP. Director Black stated it is Staff's intention to fund the project through a combination of Capital Development Fees ($2.2 million) and bond proceeds ($5.66 million). The City would issue the bonds through the Build America Bonds Program. He noted local governments participating in the program may issue taxable bonds in lieu of tax-exempt bonds for governmental purposes and receive a rebate equal to 35% of the interest paid over the life of the bonds. The bonds would be repaid using revenue from the existing debt service fee charged to sewer customers. Director Black noted the bidding for the components of the Project has come in under budget thus far. He stated Staff is seeking authorization to proceed with the issuance of$5.66 million in General Obligation Bonds for Sanitary Sewer System Improvements at the CWWTP and SWWTP. Alderman Peterson inquired about the bond solicitation process. Director Black explained factors involved in the issuance of bonds, noting the City would pledge sewer revenues to fund payment of the General Obligation Bonds. Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Condon, to accept Staff's recommendation to authorize Staff to proceed with the issuance of $5.66 million in General Obligation Bonds to augment Capital Development Fees in the amount of $2.2 million to fund the CWWTP and SWWTP Sanitary Sewer System Improvements Project.

CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 23 IMPOSING A HOME RULE MUNICIPAL RETAILER'S OCCUPATION TAX AND MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAX Director Black stated a Public Hearing was held on June 7, 2010 to offer an opportunity for public comments/questions relating to a possible increase in Local Municipal Retailer's Occupations Tax and Local Municipal Service Occupation Tax as permitted by the City being recognized as a Home Rule City. As outlined at the Public Hearing and during earlier budget discussions prior to the adoption of the 2010-2011 Fiscal Year Budget, Staff has utilized several cost-cutting measures, including significant Staff reduction in order to reduce the budget deficit. He noted the budget deficits projected for future years are due in large part to an increase in the City's contribution to police pension funding as mandated by State Statute. Director Black presented a PowerPoint slideshow outlining and clarifying the budget shortfall, particularly in the General Fund. He provided additional information regarding how the Police Pension is operated and regulated by State Statute. Director Black noted the second contributing factor in the General Fund shortfall is the fundamental gap between annual revenues and expenses which has been exacerbated by the economic downturn and slow recovery. He noted the City has made significant spending reductions in an effort to address the structural deficit and the decline in revenue. It would appear at this time the only means of bringing the General Fund into balance is to increase City funding. The proposed .5% increase in Local Sales Tax would create the revenue required and at the same time allow residents to have a lower tax burden than residents of other nearby municipalities. If implementation of the Local Sales Tax is not approved, Staff and service reductions would have to be used to eliminate the deficit projects for FY 2011-2012. Alderman Glab inquired if other municipalities applied local sales tax to titled vehicles (i.e. cars, boats, etc). Director Black responded he does not believe they do, but agreed to look into it and provide Council with the information. Alderman Glab inquired if anyone has looked into establishing a municipal transfer tax on real estate. Director Black stated that tax must be initiated by referendum. Alderman Peterson requested an explanation of Home Rule Sales Tax. Director Black provided an explanation which items can and cannot be taxed, as a result of Home Rule Municipal Retailer's Occupation Tax and Municipal Service Tax. He noted food, medicine and titled vehicles cannot be taxed with the Home Rule Municipal Retailer's Occupation Tax and -- Municipal Service Tax. Regular Meeting Page 9 July 12,2010 Alderman Santi inquired about the 1% telecommunications tax, and asked if any surrounding municipalities have as low a telecommunications tax as McHenry. Director Black responded the 1%telecommunication tax generates about $180,000 per year. Alderman Schaefer asked if the telecommunications tax is applicable to everyone in the community. Director Black stated the tax is applied to both landlines and cellular phones. Alderman Schaefer thanked those members of the community who had contacted him and provided information regarding this issue. He stated most of the business people he spoke with understand that the tax would not affect them directly. He further stated as part of the Finance and Personnel Committee, he can attest there is not a lot of "fluff" in the budget. He stressed the importance of looking at what would benefit the community as a whole. Alderman Blake noted Alderman Schaefer made some valid points. He stated of all the options presented, a sales tax makes the most sense. However, asking people that have already made cuts to make more cuts is difficult. He still has some serious concerns. Alderman Condon stated in seven years she has faced many issues that have been controversial, but they were isolated. This issue affects the entire community. She thanked everyone who has approached her to offer their input regarding this topic. She noted those persons are part of the solution. She stated she has encountered as many in support of the tax as those who are opposed. Alderman Condon continued stating even with the increase in sales tax, the overall burden would be less or equal to the present. One of her biggest fears is that if the funding issues that are present currently are not addressed, the City will fall so far behind that it would be unable to catch up. Even with the tax increase, some cuts may still need to be made. Alderman Condon asked Council members to consider that as the economy improves tax revenues increase. She suggested the tax be implemented at a rate of.25% in 2011 and another .25% in 2012. Alderman Peterson stated he heard discussion regarding extended time to fund the Police Pension Plan. Director Black noted he has not heard anything recently about an extension of fully funding the plan. Alderman Peterson expressed concern that $1.5 million would not be reached through eligible sales tax receipts. Director Black responded figures are projected based in proportion to current tax receipts on the existing 1%tax. Alderman Peterson asked if $1.5 million could be generated, he would like to see the City dispose of the annual vehicle sticker requirement which generates a minimal amount of income for the City. Alderman Peterson questioned if the economy turns around, could the Local Sales Tax be repealed? He wondered if after two years Council would be able to consider its repeal. He suggested a possible sunset clause could be included in the motion regarding this matter. Alderman Peterson stated he would have liked to see a special recreational tax implemented instead of the local sales tax. He noted he would still like to see some additional cuts made to �, offset the projected shortfall. Regular Meeting Page 10 July 12,2010 Alderman Glab commented on government spending in general, citing employee salaries. He noted if a decision regarding this tax is to be made with a vote being taken this evening which included no time constraints or sunset clause, it could potentially put a burden on another Council in the future. Alderman Santi thanked Council for their input and the citizens of the community for their attendance. He stated he reached out to people in the community to learn the feeling of residents regarding the potential tax increase. He noted July 2008 was the last time the City made any capital expenditures. He expressed concern regarding the expenditures that have been delayed due to budget constraints. He stated he is open to revisiting the tax at a future date to consider its repeal if it is no longer needed. Alderman Santi stated he is present as an alderman prepared to make a decision that is best for the City and not solely for himself as an individual. Mayor Low stated she realizes each of the aldermen is agonizing about the decision to implement a local sales tax. The City is in the business of customer service with the responsibility to provide residents with affordable quality of life and to provide employees with the tools they need to do their job. Mayor Low stated she realizes Council views its responsibility very seriously. Mayor Low stated everything mentioned regarding this issue this evening is very legitimate and needs to be recognized in the consideration of this matter. She thanked the aldermen for their efforts in making an informed decision. —' Alderman Condon stated she would not want to see an expiration date included on the local sales tax, but it should be examined as to its need every year. She stated the City did nothing wrong, there is no finger-pointing or blame to be assigned. The City has been responsible regarding employee salaries and increases. Alderman Peterson inquired if internet sales could be taxed. Director Black responded in the negative. Alderman Peterson stated he is in favor of putting an expiration date on the tax and reviewing its need periodically. Alderman Wimmer stated there is not a good tax; no one is happy about the implementation of a new tax. He stated, however, that the local sales tax would impact people the least of any of the other options to increase revenue. Alderman Peterson stated personnel cuts have not been adequately addressed nor in sufficient detail. Mayor Low stated she does not know how personnel issues can be addressed in detail without reopening the entire budget process for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. Director Black affirmed the Mayor was correct. Mayor Low stated the local sales tax, if passed, would not go into effect until January 1, 2011. Regular Meeting Page 11 July 12,2010 Alderman Schaefer stated he is not in favor of putting a time limit on the proposed local sales tax. He stated he agrees Council could look at other avenues for revenue enhancement, such as maintaining and growing a business base in the community. Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Santi, to accept Staff's recommendation to pass an ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter 23 by implementing a Home Rule Municipal Retailer's Occupation Tax and Home Rule Municipal Service Occupation Tax in the amount of .5% effective January 1, 2011.
