REQUEST FROM MCHENRY ROTARY CLUB FOR TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF PORTIONS OF WAUKEGAN ROAD, GREEN STREET AND JOHN STREET FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AND PERMISSION TO USE CITY STREETS FOR THE ANNUAL SHAMROCK SHUFFLE 5K ON MARCH 16, 2013 FROM 8:00 AM TO 9:30 AM Assistant City Administrator Hobson informed the Council that McHenry Rotary Club is requesting permission to again host a 5K Shamrock Shuffle run on Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 8:00 am. The Rotary Club of McHenry has teamed with the Run Your Life ("RYL") running club to organize the event. The RYL club has also assisted with initiating the annual Elementary Education Foundation Run in Park Ridge Estates and Trails of Winding Creek. Pre-race preparations will take place in the area of East Campus High School. Runners will begin running west on Waukegan Road, turning south on Green Street and east on John Street. Once on John Street, runners will wind their way through the Country Club neighborhood and culminate at the finish line located in the bus lane of East Campus High School. The even requires the temporary closure of a portion of Waukegan Road, near East Campus High School when the race begins, and also a portion of Green Street between Waukegan Road and John Street, which would last no longer than 15 minutes. Staff consulted with the Police Department to analyze the course and request for road closure. Due to the brevity of the street closure, the Police Department recommended the use of two duty officers assigned to the neighborhood to provide traffic control when necessary. No other City services would be required. Assistant City Administrator Hobson noted that last year the event was held with no incidents reported and no unnecessary burden was placed on police services. Motion by Santi, seconded by Blake, approving the McHenry Rotary Club's request for permission to utilize City streets for a 5K run on March 16, 2013 from 8:00 am to 9:30 am and closure of Waukegan Road from the East Campus entry to Green Street and Green Street, from Waukegan Road to John Street from 8:00 am to 8:15 am on March 16, 2013. �1 Regular Meeting Page 5 December 3,2012 Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. `- Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. Alderman Blake stated that he is familiar with this event and it is well organized. FINANCE AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A REQUEST FROM THE MCHENRY BASEBALL ASSOCIATION FOR WAIVER OF $16,633 IN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FEES FOR THE INSTALLATION OF 1-1/2-INCH WATER METER FOR MCHENRY VFW'S BUSS FIELD Assistant City Administrator Hobson informed the Council that the McHenry Baseball Association ("MBA") over the course of the last four years has completely renovated the baseball field just west of the VFW. The field, referred to as Buss Field, has been upgraded to include: • New fencing; • Netting; • Dugouts; • Lighting; and • Scoreboard. Buss Field is the premiere 13-year old field in the City of McHenry. Aside from the play it hosts for the MBA league games, it has hosted the championship games for the CABA tournament in that age level each year the City participated in the tournament and has played a key role in hosting this year's USSSA/MCYSA tournament. Assistant City Administrator Hobson stated that the maintenance of the field is the sole responsibility of volunteers. One of the major challenges to maintaining the field is accessibility to water. Currently, the volunteers are utilizing garden hoses and/or buckets of water from the VFW to accomplish tasks such as watering down the infield between games or repairing the home plate and pitcher's mound areas. Assistant City Administrator Hobson noted that during the timeframe that Buss Field was renovated the City completed the overhaul and renovation of Petersen Park Field No. 2. This renovation was done with assistance from the MBA and McHenry High School District 156. Volunteers and donations secured by the MBA played a large role in the transformation, making Petersen Park Field No. 2 one of the finest fields in McHenry County. One of the final pieces to Petersen Park Field No. 2 was the installation of a 2" water line and yard hydrants to help maintain the field. The MBA noted the success of the water line and would like to install something similar at Buss Field. However, the capital development fee of $16,633, typically charged with the installation of a 1 %" water meter, is an obstacle. The MBA is requesting a waiver of the capital development fee in order to complete the final piece to the renovation of Buss Field. Regular Meeting Page 6 December 3,2012 Assistant City Administrator Hobson stated that Capital Development Fees have not been waived in the past. The Capital Development Fees are implemented and utilized to fund future expansion and improvements to the water and wastewater systems. The size of the meter installed dictates the amount of Capital Development Fee to be charged. This fee is almost always associated with new homes or businesses and not to provide water to a park or field. The MBA intends to install two yard hydrants to apply water to the fields themselves, but there will not be any additional structures or facilities. Additionally, the MBA will be responsible for all water and sewer fees for water used at the site that goes through the meter. Assistant City Administrator Hobson stated the MBA provides a great service to the community with their league. The MBA has also partnered with the City for many years and assisted in upgrading and maintaining the City's fields. The MBA has also worked tirelessly through its volunteers to support outside tournaments drawing visitors from across the country and even internationally to the City of McHenry. It is Staff's opinion that the request to waive the Capital Development Fees does not have any adverse impact to the City in these unique circumstances. The MBA intends to pay all other applicable fees, as well as being responsible for the full cost of all water through the meter and the installation of the meter and corresponding water line. Alderman Condon opined that the organization has long standing in the community. She agreed that under these unique circumstances waiving the Capital Development Fee makes sense. Alderman Santi concurred with Alderman Condon. He stated that while $16,000 is a large sum it is well worth it. Responding to Alderman Santi's inquiry regarding whether the VFW would have access to the water line, Assistant City Administrator Hobson stated that the line is accessed from a side road, only the MBA would be using the line however, should the VFW want to access the line and hookup to the water line, it would be a completely separate issue. Responding to Alderman Glab's concern about other hookups to the line in the future and whether those hookups would be held responsible for the Capital Development Fees, Assistant City Administrator Hobson answered affirmatively. Alderman Glab stated he was concerned that the $16,633 was coming out of the Water Sewer Fund rather than the General Fund. He suggested the sum be paid to the Water Sewer Fund via the General Fund. Alderman Schaefer stated he would not want to start a precedent, however, this is a good example of a long lasting partnership. "1 Regular Meeting Page 7 December 3,2012 Alderman Blake stated he concurs with Alderman Schaefer regarding not wanting to `- start a precedent, this is an exceptional situation. He noted that excellent work is done by the MBA and they need to get water to the field. Alderman Wimmer stated this is a unique partnership and a reasonable request under the circumstances. Alderman Peterson stated he supports the waiver, but agrees with Alderman Glab that where the money comes from should be looked into. Motion by Condon, seconded by Schaefer, to allow the waiver of $16,633 in Capital Development Fees to the McHenry Baseball Association ("MBA") to install a 1 %" water meter at the site of Buss Field at the VFW. Voting Aye: Santi, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: Glab. Absent: None. Motion carried. PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH LEATHERS AND ASSOCIATES FOR RENOVATION OF FORT MCHENRY PLAYGROUND FOR A TOTAL ESTIMATED COST OF$169,700 Director of Parks & Recreation Merkel informed the Council that the Parks & Recreation Committee, for the last two to three years, have had discussions regarding the renovation of the Fort McHenry playground. Several options have been explored ranging from complete reconstruction to removing the existing playground and replacing it with a traditional commercial built unit. One of the options favored by the Committee is to renovate the playground by using Leathers and Associates to act as the design and construction consultant, with the work completed by a qualified contractor. Director Merkel noted that Leathers and Associates was the design firm who originally worked with the City to coordinate the original volunteer community built playground in 1994/1995. In 2010 an Open Space and Land Acquisition grant was submitted to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for funding assistance to facilitate this project. The grant was not received for this type of maintenance project in 2011. Director Merkel informed the Council that renovations would include replacing much of the wood decking, handrails, baluster and some of the facades. All of the wood will be replaced with PVC material. Most of the slides and swings will be replaced with new equipment and hardware. Other play equipment and materials would be replaced as needed. The playground L renovation will be certified to meet all ASTM F1487 standards, Consumer Product Safety Regular Meeting Page 8 December 3,2012 Commission Pub. 325 Guidelines and all current ADA standards. A representative of Leathers '1 and Associates will be on site as a construction consultant during the entire renovation. Professional fees for the project will vary only if additional work is requested or required. Total professional design and construction consultation fees are $29,700. The cost for the purchase of materials and estimated contractor labor is $140,000. The total estimated cost for the project is $169,700. The project will be funded through the Developer Donation Fund. The work is scheduled to be completed in the spring/summer of 2013. Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Glab, to enter into a Professional Services Contract with Leathers and Associates for the renovation of Fort McHenry playground for a total estimated cost of$169,700. Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RECREATION ACCESSIBILTY CONSULTANTS FOR COMPLETION OF AN ACCESSIBILITY AUDIT AND TRANSITION PLAN FOR PARKS & RECREATION FACILITIES FOR$19,458 Director of Parks & Recreation Merkel informed the Council that the City of McHenry has allocated $22,000 in the fiscal year 2012/2013 budget to have a qualified firm perform an Accessibility Audit and Transition Plan to review the City's indoor and outdoor recreation facilities. He stated that the Parks & Recreation Department completed renovations of existing facilities in the mid-1990's to meet the guidelines of the American with Disabilities Act ("ADA") passed in 1991. Any new parks and facilities built after 1991 were designed to comply with ADA requirements. Director Merkel stated that new guidelines were adopted in 2010 for a variety of outdoor recreation facilities. Communities are required to review existing parks and facilities and develop a plan for these amenities to come into compliance with the new standards. Staff was directed to solicit proposals for professional services from qualified firms to complete a required audit. Two firms were identified that have completed similar project with the City's fellow member agencies in NISRA. Only one proposal was submitted by the deadline date of November 7, 2012, from Recreation Accessibility Consultants. Director Merkel introduced John McGovern, President of Recreation Accessibility Consultants. Responding to Alderman Santi's inquiry regarding the timetable for the project, Director Merkel stated completion of the project is anticipated in January 2013. "1 Regular Meeting Page 9 December 3,2012 Alderman Schaefer inquired if any funding or grants are available for this type of project. �-- Mr. McGovern informed the Council that no funding or grants are available. Motion by Santi, seconded by Condon, to approve the Professional Services Agreement with Recreation Accessibility Consultants for completion of an accessibility audit and transition plan for Parks & Recreation facilities in the City of McHenry, in the amount of$19,458. Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND DENTAL INSURANCE PLAN FOR JANUARY 1 2013 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2013 WITH BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD PPO, HRA AND HMO PLANS FOR HEALTH, GUARDIAN PPO DENTAL PLAN, VSP FOR VISION AND REVISED IN-HOUSE DEDUCTIBLES FOR BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD HRA PLAN City Administrator Morefield informed the Council that Staff obtained quotes from the market for fully insured health plans through the City's insurance broker. In addition to Blue Cross Blue Shield ("BCBS"), Humana and United Healthcare also submitted competitive quotes. However, City Administrator Morefield noted that the plan designs received from Humana and United Healthcare were significantly different than BCBS for the Health Reimbursement Arrangement ("HRA") and it is likely the company's quotes would increase prior to �-' implementation. As a result, the BCBS plans are the viable plans to choose from in the renewal year. City Administrator Morefield summarized the Health Insurance, Dental Insurance and Vision Insurance plans. Additionally, he noted a small modification to the HRA plan, increasing the HRA deductible by$100 for each tier. Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Blake, approving the following: • Renewal of the Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, HRA and HMO plans for health coverage during the 2013 plan year; • The revised in-house deductibles for the Blue Cross Blue Shield HRA plan for the 2013 plan year; • The Guardian PPO dental plan for the 2013 plan year; and • The VSP vision coverage plan for the 2013 plan year.

In pledging 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 indicate that the revenue sources in the coming year will continue to provide adequate coverage for debt service requirements allowing the abatement of the property tax. Regular Meeting Page 11 December 3,2012 City Administrator Morefield stated that in order for the County Clerk to abate, or `- reduce the property taxes levied, the Council is required to approve the Ordinances authorizing the abatement. Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Wimmer, approving the Ordinances for the abatement of real estate taxes for various bond issues as follows: • General Obligation Bonds (Alternate) Series 2005, $153,697.50; • General Obligation Bonds (Alternate) Series 2006, $242,100; • General Obligation Bonds (Alternate) Series 2007, $246,395; • General Obligation Bonds (Refunding) Series 2010a, $393,260; • General Obligation Bonds (Recovery Zone & Build America) Series 2010b, $444,985; • General Obligation Bonds (Alternate) Series 2010c, $444,432.50; And • General Obligation Bonds (Alternate) Series 2012, $207,688.21 Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.
