Bates, Lawson, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. Alderman Baird requested an update on the Millstream water project, noting the first payment request to Gluth Brothers in the amount of $98,083.80. Director of Public Works Batt informed Council the water main is operational and only the restoration work remains. LAKELAND PARK DRAINAGE At its July 10, 1996 Regular Meeting, Council directed staff to provide written cost estimates to alleviate and/or correct the Lakeland Park drainage problems in an effort to allow Council to prioritize project phasing. Director of Public Works Batt reported the preliminary written cost estimates provided to Council contained corrections for only four of the five areas discussed. The Ramble/Home Avenue area has not yet been surveyed due to time constraints. Director of Public Works Batt noted the total cost estimate without the Ramble/Home Avenue area is $603,700.00. Batt also noted that only $30,000 for engineering was budgeted for the 1996-97 Fiscal Year. As Council had discussed, a $100,000 spending limit to begin this project, Director Batt recommended Council consider the Clearview/Eastern Avenue area. The cost estimate for this particular area is $1 19,000. Bid specifications and plans would be prepared in house and subsequently advertised. Funding would be available if the $81 ,500.00 budgeted for a sewer jet purchase was postponed until the 1997-98 Fiscal Year and the $50,000 which was budgeted for miscellaneous sanitary sewer repairs was used. It was the consensus of Council to go forward with this project, however, a lengthy discussion ensued regarding whether to finance the project via special assessment, special service area or with General Fund revenues applying for any grant monies and/or a revolving loan. Motion by Baird, seconded by Lawson, to amend the 1996-97 City of McHenry Budget to reflect an $80,000 expenditure to begin Lakeland Park drainage corrections and to direct staff to budget a minimum of $150,000 over the next three years to complete the Lakeland Park drainage project, as presented in the July 24, 1996 agenda supplement. Voting Aye: Bolger, Locke, Bates, Lawson, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. July 24, 1996 Page 6 LAKELAND PARK DRAINAGE ENGINEERING Carl Moon, representing City Engineers Baxter &Woodman, was in attendance. Mr. Moon presented for Council consideration an engineering proposal to determine the capacity of the Lakeland Park drainage ditch culverts and the feasibility of the upstream water detention. He noted the cost for these services would not exceed $36,000.00. In response to Alderman Locke's inquiry, he reported the engineering survey will cover the entire watershed area, including Mark Towne's City Center Business Park property. Motion by Baird, seconded by Lawson, to authorize City Engineers Baxter & -- Woodman to prepare the engineering services contract to determine the capacity of the Lakeland Park drainage ditch culverts and the feasibility of upstream water detention for final Council approval with a more definitive not-to-exceed amount. Voting Aye: Bolger, Locke, Bates, Lawson, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. Some discussion followed regarding Meyer Material's recent construction of a new, larger detention area and its subsequent positive effects on the Lakeland Park drainage problems. LINCOLN HILL SUBDIVISION TENTATIVE PLAT Property owner Raymond Walls of 2414 Lincoln Road was in attendance. Mr. Walls addressed Council requesting approval of the tentative plat for Lincoln Hill subdivision, which consists of 18.7 acres on Lincoln Road, roughly 1/2 mile west of Chapel Hill Road. The property is zoned R-1 in the County and is not seeking annexation to the City of McHenry. On April 18, 1996 the City of McHenry Plan Commission voted 5-1 to approve the Lincoln Hill Subdivision Tentative Plat, subject to the inclusion of berming specifications on the tentative plat. Director of Public Works Batt noted the Lincoln Hill Subdivision Tentative Plat conforms to all the requirements of the City of McHenry Subdivision Control Ordinance and the berming specifications required by the Plan Commission have been added to the Tentative Plat. Mayor Cuda recognized objectors Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Archacki of 2604 Lincoln Road. The Archackis explained that development of their property, which is adjacent to the Lincoln Hill Subdivision, will be seriously hindered if access through Mr. Wall's development (Lincoln Hill Subdivision) is not provided. It was noted, however, the County Board approved the Lincoln Hill Subdivision Tentative Plat without consideration to Mr. and Mrs. Archacki's plight. Mr. and Mrs. Archacki requested Council consider writing a letter to the County Board respectfully requesting reconsideration of the Archacki's request for a road "T" to be provided by the developer of the Lincoln Hill Subdivision to their property. Some discussion followed. Motion by Baird, seconded by Lawson, to direct staff to write a letter to the County Board respectfully requesting reconsideration of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Archacki's request for a road "T" to their property by the Lincoln Hill Subdivision developer. Voting Aye: Bolger, Locke, Bates, Lawson, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried.

July 24, 1996 Page 8 MAYOR - STATEMENT AND REPORTS Mayor Cuda reported he and City Administrator Jordan had attended the County Board Meeting on July 15, 1996 as Metra representatives had been invited to make a presentation regarding future plans in McHenry County. The Metra representatives reiterated Metra's commitment to expand train service to McHenry and stated retaining train service in McHenry remains a high priority. Mayor Cuda also reported that staff had filed the City's formal objection to John Fuhler's County Zoning Petition #96-22 requesting a conditional use variance for mini- warehouses on Route 120, just outside of McHenry's City limits. A compromise was reached, however, by the County Board whereby the property in question will remain zoned agriculture with a conditional use for mini-warehouses, subject to all the conditions set forth by the City of McHenry, including: (1 ) Additional berming along the north property line; (2) Blacktopping the entire area; (3) Installation of low-intensity motion activated lighting; (4) Prohibition of outside storage of any kind; and, (5) Language limiting the County's B-3 General Business zoning to mini- warehouse use only. Cuda then distributed a letter received from Gary Lang's attorney, Daniel Curran, regarding his annexation agreement's requirement to install a left-hand turn lane on Route 31 in front of his auto mall. Mr. Lang is requesting an extension of time to install the left-hand turn lane and requests this issue be an agenda item at the Council's regularly scheduled August 7, 1996 Council meeting. A brief discussion followed. It was the consensus of Council to require language to furnish a time frame for the installation of the left-hand turn lane and not to tie the project together with the Shamrock Lane improvements. COMMITTEE REPORTS There were no Committee Reports. STAFF REPORTS Director of Building and Zoning Lobaito reported he will be on vacation July 29 through August 12, 1996. Director of Public Works Batt, referencing his July 15, 1996 memo regarding the underground storage tank removal, stated when samples were taken to determine the amount of soil that would have to be removed due to contamination of gasoline and/or diesel fuels, it became apparent that more soil was likely contaminated than had earlier been anticipated. In order to remain in compliance with EPA requirements regarding contaminated soil, Director of Public Works Batt entered into a contract with City Engineers Baxter & Woodman for $13,000.00 to install monitoring wells, employee an analytical testing subcontractor and additional field services. He requested Council formally approve the engineering contract with City Engineers Baxter & Woodman in an amount not to exceed $13,000.00. Motion by Baird, seconded by Locke, to approve the expenditure of $13,000 and enter into an engineering services agreement with City Engineers Baxter & Woodman to install monitoring wells, employ an analytical testing subcontractor, and for additional field services in association with the removal of underground storage tanks and contaminated soil at the City garage on Green Street and to authorize Director of Public Works Batt to execute the agreement.

Council directed Finance Committee Chairman Lawson to schedule a Committee Meeting when the auditor, John Eder, can be present to explain the audit and answer any questions. July 24, 1996 Page 9 NEW BUSINESS Alderman Bates informed Council of debris along McCullom Lake Road and requested its removal. He also recommended Council consider reducing the speed limit on McCullom Lake Road in front of Inland's Olde Mill Pond future subdivision. Marty Stoeffel, of McCullom Lake Road, also contacted Alderman Bates requesting Council investigate the annexation agreement with Leisure Links to determine if there is any restriction as to lighting. Mr. Stoeffel stated the lights are on too late in the evening. In response to Alderman Bates' suggestion regarding reducing the speed on McCullom Lake Road, Alderman Locke requested Council consider restriping McCullom Lake Road, as well as Crystal Lake Road. Alderman Locke also requested Aldermen be able to include their comments in the City newsletter. In conclusion, Alderman Locke noted his concern with the recent increases in administrative salaries at High School District 156. He informed Council in light of this information, he will only approve the proposed police liaison program as it was originally proposed in the five- year funding format with the District splitting the cost with the City 70%/30%. Alderman Bolger informed Council that he had spoken with St. Paul Avenue representatives who in turn requested the City consider a 15% public benefit contribution for connection to the City's sewer system. Mayor Cuda suggested a meeting with Council and the St. Paul Avenue representatives be scheduled prior to a regularly scheduled Council meeting.
