McHENRY COUNTY RISK MANAGEMENT AGENCY RENEWAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
ASSESSMENT
Assistant Administrator Maxeiner addressed Council explaining, for the 2001/2002
fiscal year, the McHenry County Risk Management Agency (MCMRMA) Board voted to
L. change the funding percentage to 100% of potential administrative and claim costs, which
amounts to $359,580, $39,580 more than the line item budget. By funding the year at
100% of potential cost, the possibility of a supplemental assessment for 2001/2002 is
Page 4
10/29/01
virtually eliminated. Less the prepayment, made in May, 2001 of $250,000, the amount
now due for the 2001/2002 renewal is $109,580.
Assistant Administrator Maxeiner advised Council, in addition to the larger than
expected renewal for the 2001/2002 fiscal year, MCMRMA is assessing a supplemental
contribution for the close of the 1992/1993 through 1994/1995 claim years. He explained,
a claim year is typically kept open until such time as all claims originating in that year are
closed. Claim years 1992/1993 through 1994/1995 are ready to be closed. Unfortunately,
costs exceeded contributions in two of the three years necessitating a supplemental
assessment on members. McHenry's share of the supplemental assessment is $123,532.
Staff is recommending Council approval of:
■ Payment to MCMRMA in the amount of $109,580 for the remaining premium for the
2001/2002 renewal; and
■ Payment to MCMRMA in the amount of $123,532 for supplemental assessments for
the claim years 1992/1993 through 1994/1995.
Assistant City Administrator Maxeiner advised Council both payments will come from the
Risk Management Fund, which had a reserve at the beginning of the year of
approximately $242,000.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Wimmer, to approve payment to MCMRMA, in the
amount of $109,580, for the 2001/2001 renewal premium and to approve payment to
MCMRMA, in the amount of $123,521, for the supplemental assessment for claim years
1992/1993 through 1994/1995.

Illinois Route 31 and Shamrock Lane. Director Napolitano reminded Council at the
September 17, 2001 Regular City Council meeting, applicant, RST Development
requested a variance to allow commercial uses for Liberty Square. Discussion ensued.
Council desired the opportunity to review the Annexation Agreement. The Applicant had
originally requested permission to allow over fifty different uses on the property. Following
discussion at the September 17, 2001 Council meeting and consultation with Staff, the
applicant has reconsidered the uses requested. The Applicant is willing to waive all uses
indicated on the Annexation Agreement, excepting restaurant, and has narrowed the

traveling across town for items. Alderman Murgatroyd noted additional commercial sites
are planned as the surrounding area develops.

ORDINANCE PROHIBITING PARKING ON OAKWOOD DRIVE FROM 8:00 A.M. TO 4:00
P.M. ON SCHOOL DAYS
City Administrator Lobaito advised Council, at the October 22, 2001, Public Works
Committee meeting, it was the recommendation of the committee to restrict parking on
Oakwood Drive from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. on school days. Staff requests Council
approve an Ordinance prohibiting parking on both sides of Oakwood Drive, between Royal
Drive and the western most intersection of Wiltshire and Oakwood Drive, on school days
between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.
Alderman Bolger advised Council, Alderman Glab, at the October 22, 2001 Public
Works Committee meeting requested parking be restricted on Oakwood Drive from 7:00
A.M. to 7:00 P.M., every day, all year round. Alderman Bolger stated consensus was
reached to restrict parking only on school days, between the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 4:00
P.M., with the understanding in the Spring or Summer the matter would be again reviewed.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Wimmer, to pass and approve an ordinance
prohibiting parking on Oakwood Drive from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. on school days, subject
to review in Spring, 2002.
Alderman Glab arrived at 8:16 P.M. inquiring what has transpired in the discussion
on this issue prior to his arrival. Mayor Althoff summarized the discussion.
Alderman Murgatroyd stated he is aware of a public access to the field at the
southern portion of the property. He opined restricting parking on both sides of the street,
in the vicinity of the public access, negates the use of the public access. Alderman
Murgatroyd suggested parking be restricted on only one side of the street on Oakwood
Drive. Alderman Glab stated the curvature of the street dictates parking be restricted on
both sides of Oakwood Drive because of safety issues due to sight impairment caused by
vehicular density. Discussion ensued.
Sandy Perdue, a resident of 4711 Oakwood Drive, addressed Council stating
Oakwood Drive is curved, and it is dangerous when cars are parked on both sides of the
street. Ms. Perdue advised there are typically between 14 and 23 cars parked along
L Oakwood Drive every day. She has requested students, parking along Oakwood Drive, to
use the walking path rather than walk on her property, and has received a rude response.
Page 10
10/29/01
Alderman Murgatroyd opined the problem could be due to the open campus format
at West Campus. Alderman Low concurred with Alderman Murgatroyd and expressed
concern that restricting parking from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. may be overly restrictive.
In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Director of Public Works Batt stated the
signs would be erected within a 14-day period.
