McHENRY JAYCEES 1997 FIREWORKS PRESENTATION
Representatives of the McHenry Area Jaycees Organization, Kevin Kutz and
Randy Christensen, were in attendance. Jaycees fireworks Co-Chairman Kevin Kutz
provided Council with an update on the fireworks activities scheduled for Petersen
Park on Saturday, July 5, 1997. Mr. Kutz reported the activities will begin at 4:00
p.m. culminating with a 25-minute pyro-musical fireworks display by Melrose
Pyrotechnics of Kingsbury, Indiana.
Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel noted a Special Use permit for the use of
Petersen Park for the fireworks activities must be approved by Council.
Motion by Glab, seconded by Bolger, to approve a Special Use permit for the
use of Petersen Park on Saturday, July 5, 1997 by the McHenry Area Jaycees for the
use of fireworks activities beginning at 4:00 P.M..

CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST - BERNIE'S GARAGE AND DINER, 4405 W. ELM
STREET
Property owner, restaurant owner and petitioner Bernard Matchen was in
attendance. Director of Building and Zoning explained the petitioner was requesting
Council approval of a conditional use for serving alcoholic beverages in conjunction
with the restaurant business. Director Lobaito explained Mr. Matchen is requesting
a Class "H" liquor license permitting only the sale of beer and wine from a service bar.
Beer and wine consumption is permitted at restaurant tables only. The property is
currently zoned C-5, Highway Commercial. The City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance
permits the operation of a restaurant serving alcoholic beverages in this zoning district
with the issuance of a conditional use permit. The granting of this conditional use
permits the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the
operation of a restaurant. Mr. Matchen has noted he will not be applying for a liquor
license until the Fall of 1997. Until that time, the sale of alcohol on the premises is
prohibited. By ordinance, Mr. Matchen has one year from the date of issuance of the
conditional use permit to establish the sale of alcoholic beverages. Failure to establish
the use within the one year will result in revocation of the permit. At its June 2, 1997
meeting, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to grant the conditional use
permit to allow the operation of a restaurant serving alcoholic beverages without live
entertainment or dancing at 4405 W. Em Street.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Baird, to approve the Zoning Board of Appeals
unanimous recommendation and grant a conditional use permit for the operation of a
restaurant serving alcoholic beverages without live entertainment or dancing at 4405
W. Elm Street.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Baird.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: Murgatroyd.
Motion carried.
AWARD OF PROPOSAL - WASTE DISPOSAL CONTRACT
Director of Public Works Batt informed Council that on Tuesday, June 10, 1997
three firms submitted proposals to provide refuse service to the City of McHenry over
the next three years, through May 31 , 2000. The three firms were: Marengo
Disposal; Waste Management North; and the City's current waste hauler North Shore
Waste Control. Director Batt noted North Shore Waste Control did not submit a
proposal for curbside loose leaf collection, as was required in the proposal criteria
specifications. North Shore Waste Control instead offered a time and material
proposal for the first year and a negotiated amount for years two and three. In
addition, Marengo Disposal offered a curbside leaf pickup in bags, an alternative that
is permitted but not required.
June 25, 1997 Page 6
A lengthy discussion ensued. Alderman Baird stated his extreme pleasure with
the service level provided by current waste hauler North Shore Waste Control.
However, he noted Council's commitment to provide alternatives to leaf burning if
cost effective. He noted Waste Management North's proposal to provide curbside
loose leaf pickup and a free drop-off site at a most reasonable cost. Further
discussion occurred regarding the desirability and feasibility of awarding a refuse
contract and a curbside loose leaf contract separately, as the submissions were
proposals, not bids. Mayor Cuda suggested City crews might be able to provide the
curbside looseleaf pickup. He concurred with Alderman Baird's statement regarding
Council's commitment to providing cost effective leaf burning alternatives.
Representatives from both North Shore Waste Control and Waste Management
North addressed Council. The North Shore Waste Control representative noted their
uncertainty and discomfort in submitting a curbside loose leaf collection proposal with
no historical volume information. Alderman McClatchey stated his support for a future
ban on burning, noting its current consideration at the State level.
Motion by McClatchey, to table further discussion regarding the award of a
refuse service contract for the City of McHenry until the next regularly scheduled
Council meeting on July 2, 1997.
Motion died for lack of a second.
Further discussion followed. Alderman Bolger suggested the City consider
eliminating the yard waste drop-off site altogether. In response to Mayor Cuda's
inquiry, the North Shore Waste Control representative stated the $44,333.00
submitted cost for the yard waste drop-off site was a mathematic calculation error.
The true cost would be closer to $14,000.00. A brief discussion followed.
Motion by Baird, seconded by McClatchey, to award the City of McHenry
Residential Exclusive License to Waste Management North of Antioch for a three-year
period ending May 31, 2000, as per their June 10, 1997 proposal including the bag
and toter add-on fees providing an annual eight-week curbside loose leaf pickup
program.
Voting Aye: Bolger, McClatchey, Baird.
Voting Nay: Glab.
Absent: Murgatroyd.
Motion carried.
Director of Public Works Batt requested further Council direction regarding the
proposed yard waste sticker program and the yard waste drop-off site program.

MAYOR - STATEMENT AND REPORTS
Mayor Cuda reported he and Alderman Baird had met with Elementary School
District 15 Superintendent Dodds and members of the Building Committee on Monday,
June 23, 1997 regarding the Boone Creek/Backhaus land donation parcel. He noted
the only outstanding issue is a specified acreage amount for the school site. In an
attempt to facilitate resolution of this one issue, Mayor Cuda noted he had authorized
a survey of the property.
Mayor Cuda, referencing Director Lobaito's memo of June 18, 1997 regarding
the Mass Barn project, noted Kearney Decorating of Hoffman Estates was awarded
the Mass Barn painting project and has failed to provide proof of insurance as outlined
in his contract with the City. Project Manager, Direct Design, is recommending the
City terminate its contractual agreement with this contractor. Staff concurs with their
recommendation. It is also the recommendation of staff and City Attorney McArdle
that bidding procedures be waived and Director Lobaito solicit quotes for this project's
completion.
Motion by Baird, seconded by McClatchey, to terminate the Mass Barn painting
contract with Kearney Decorating of Hoffman Estates, effective immediately.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Baird.

the Environmental Protection Agency for reopening.
STAFF REPORTS
Director of Public Works Batt informed Council that 30 days after delivery and
installation of lift station pumps, connection to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant
will be feasible for recently annexed East of the River properties. Director Batt also
noted the amount of contaminated soils encountered by East of the River sanitary
sewer extension contractor Joel Kennedy Construction was less than 150 cubic yards,
and could be disposed of at an approved landfill site. In conclusion, Director Batt
reported the East of the River sanitary sewer extension contractor Joel Kennedy did
not, as earlier reports may have indicated, hit an Eastwood Manor water main. A
water main fell into an excavated hole and broke. Repairs occurred immediately, and
water was restored to Eastwood Manor residents in a timely fashion.
