Director of Community Development Napolitano informed Council, on the recommendation of the McHenry Landmark Commission, the Petersen Farmstead, located at 4112 McCullom Lake Road, is being presented for Council designation as the first Historic Landmark meeting the criteria of the recently adopted City of McHenry Historic Preservation Ordinance. The farmstead is an excellent example of a fourth generation working farm containing an 1850's Greek Revival style farm house, an 1870's horse barn and granary, and a milk house containing two wooden stave silos. Motion by Bolger, seconded by Glab, to pass and approve an ordinance designating the Petersen Farm Property, located at 4112 McCullom Lake Road, as the first Historic Landmark under the terms and criteria of the recently enacted City of McHenry Preservation Ordinance. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd. Voting Nay: None. Absent: Baird. Motion carried.

The Agenda Item was withdrawn from Council consideration during this evening's regularly scheduled Council Meeting. Mayor Cuda noted written approval was anticipated within the next two weeks. Therefore, Annexation of this property will be presented for Council consideration at that time. ANNEXATION OF HICKORY CREEK FARM PROPERTY - 4400 LAKESHORE DRIVE Director of Community Development Napolitano informed Council the City of McHenry purchased property in 1995 located outside its corporate limits in association with the acquisition of open park space. State of Illinois Statutes permit a municipality to annex uninhabited municipally-owned properties which are contiguous to its corporate boundaries by passing an ordinance. A portion of this city-owned property is located within the corporate boundaries of the Village of McCullom Lake. The City of McHenry has made attempts to de-annex this portion of the property from the Village of McCullom Lake, however, has been unsuccessful to date. An ordinance annexing the eight acres located on the south side of McCullom Lake Road within McHenry County has been prepared by Staff for Council consideration. Upon annexation, the eight acre property would be zoned E Estate District. As parks, playgrounds, forest preserves, wildlife sanctuaries, and other publicly-owned open spaces are permitted in the E Estate District, the property's current use as an equestrian facility is a permitted use in the E Estate District. September 16, 1998 Page 5 Motion by McClatchey, seconded by Murgatroyd, to pass and approve an ordinance Annexing approximately eight acres located on the south side of McCullom Lake Road approximately 1 ,500 feet north of Petersen Park Road in McHenry Township, to the City of McHenry. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird, Cuda. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. LETTER OF AGREEMENT WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT 156 - POLICE LIAISON OFFICER PROGRAM City Administrator Lobaito informed Council the City of McHenry since 1996 has entered into an Annual Agreement with McHenry High School District 156 to provide a Police Liaison Officer for assignment to McHenry East and West High School Campuses. The cost of the officer is determined by averaging the salary and benefits of a first year officer and a fifth year officer, with High School District 156 paying 70% of this averaged cost. The average annual cost for the 1998-1999 school year is $46,904. McHenry High School District's 70% portion totals $32,833, which will be paid to the City of McHenry in equal installment payments over the next nine months, beginning September 30, 1998. Officer Daniel Kreassig, who served as the Police Liaison Officer in 1996-1997 and 1997-1998, is being replaced this year by Officer Gregory Hatter. City Administrator Lobaito noted the addition of a 30-day written termination clause citing the Police Department's current understaffed position. Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Glab, to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk's execution of the Police Liaison Program Agreement, between the City of McHenry and McHenry High School District 156 for the 1998-1999 school year effective immediately.

Alderman Glab expressed the hope the City of McHenry would one day be able to provide a Liaison Officer to staff each high school building. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT 15 City Administrator Lobaito reported in 1993 the former Council began negotiations with Elementary School District 15 for an Intergovernmental Agreement to transfer ownership of a six-acre parcel of property for the purpose of constructing a school and related facilities. The six acres in question were originally deeded to the City of McHenry in 1992 as part of the Backhaus Brackmann Annexation Agreement. In the event McHenry Elementary School District 15 fails to construct and occupy the school improvements on the subject property on or before December 31 , 2011 , title to the subject property shall automatically revert back to the City of McHenry. In addition, the City of McHenry may also utilize the property for temporary parking lots, playgrounds, and/or athletic fields prior to any construction of school improvements. Any temporary improvement by the City of McHenry on the subject property shall expire 180 days after written notice to the City of McHenry by elementary School District 15. The City of McHenry and Elementary School District 15 have non- exclusive access easements over each other's property and improvements. The general public will have use of the parking facilities when utilizing the playground areas and athletic fields. City Administrator Lobaito apologized for the lengthy delay, citing survey difficulties due to the realignment of the Dartmoor Road extension. The six acre subject parcel is adjacent to the Dartmoor Extension. September 16, 1998 Page 6 In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, City Administrator Lobaito stated the Intergovernmental Agreement does not commit the City of McHenry to any maintenance obligations. Motion by Glab, seconded by Bolger, to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk's execution of the Intergovernmental Agreement and any associated documents, between the City of McHenry and McHenry Elementary School District 15 transferring six acres of property located on the south side of Dartmoor Drive for the purpose of i constructing a school and school improvements.

It was the stated intent of Council the sell the property upon the completion of the lift station construction. All proceeds would be credited back to the Water Sewer Capital Development Fund. Bids were sought for a September 1 , 1998 opening. Twenty-seven packets were mailed to potential bidders, with only one bid submitted by Rusty DeBuck of McHenry in the amount of $154,800.

In accordance with the bid specifications, Mr. DeBuck submitted an earnest money deposit of $10,000 within ten days of the September 1 , 1998 bid opening. In response to Council inquiry, Staff noted the original purchase price of the 1115 North River Road property was $205,000. In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Staff noted no response from the McHenry Economic Development Commission had been received regarding the potential sale of this property. Motion by Glab, seconded by Bolger, to accept the bid of $154,800 from Rusty DeBuck of McHenry, Illinois, for the purchase of surplus City property commonly known as 1115 North River Road, McHenry, and to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk's execution of a real estate contract, and any associated documents, required for the sale of 1115 North River Road property.
