VARIANCE TO PERMIT TWO DWELLING UNITS ON A SINGLE LOT — 3808 MILLSTREAM DRIVE In attendance were property owners Mr. and Mrs. Larry Holub, of 3808 Millstream Drive. As per Mayor Cuda's direction, Attorney McArdle in cooperation with Director of Community Development Napolitano, drafted a restrictive ordinance regarding the variance request of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Holub of 3808 Millstream Drive. Mr. and Mrs. Holub are requesting Council approval of a variance to permit a second dwelling unit on their property at 3808 Millstream Drive. It is Mr. and Mrs. Holubs intent to occupy the second floor while the first floor would be used by Mrs. Holub's parents in an in-law arrangement. Alderman Bolger stated his opposition to the Holubs' request, citing the establishment of such an arrangement might establish precedence for further multi-family conversions along Millstream Drive. In response to Alderman McClatchey's inquiry, Mr. and Mrs. Holub stated it is their intent to proceed with the second floor addition, whether or not Council approves their request for a variance. Director of Community Development Napolitano clarified the variance would permit the construction of a kitchen on the second floor; thereby creating two independent dwelling units, a duplex situation, which is not permitted in the existing RS4 Zoning District. Page 5 4/25/01 Motion by Baird, seconded by Murgatroyd, to grant a variance to Mr. and Mrs. Larry Holub to permit modifications of the existing structure located at 3808 Millstream Drive, to accommodate a two-flat with two independent dwelling units. Voting Aye: Baird. Voting Nay: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd. Absent: None. Motion failed. APPROVAL OF THE CITY OF MCHENRY 2001-2002 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET Assistant Administrator Maxeiner presented the 2001-2002 City of McHenry Budget for Council approval. He noted the 2001-2002 expenditure budget totals $37,486,899. The net budget after eliminating interfund transfers for items such as health insurance, retirement contributions, debt service, and reserve transfers to capital project funds, totals $30,663,980. The 2001-2002 budget reflects revenues of $34,353,296, with an additional $4,268,956 in planned reserve reductions. Therefore, net available revenues total $38,622,252. Assistant Administrator Maxeiner noted the following significant factors: ■ The budget format and overall chart of accounts has been revised for easier reference by the general public. General Fund Revenue: ■ Budgeted Revenues show a continued growth with an increase of 13.2% over the 2000-2001 budget revenues; ■ The largest single source of General Fund Revenues is the sales tax revenue which accounts for nearly 46% of the current General Fund revenues ■ The 2001-2002 Budget reflects a projected sales tax revenue increase of 3.9% over the projected year-end actual for the 2000-2001 fiscal year. ■ Property tax revenues are projected to increase at a 7.9% level; ■ Assistant Administrator Maxeiner noted assessed value within the City of McHenry grew $31.5 million in year 2000, representing a growth rate of 8%. The City's portion of the State per capita income increases 15.9% over the prior year's budget due to population growth, as identified by the 2000 Census. The Fund reflects an addition of 6.00 full time equivalents: ■ Two patrol/investigative positions and one sergeant were added to the Police Department; ■ A building inspector was added to the Community Development Department; and ■ An information technology position was added to the Administration Department. The budget proposes a 3.0% wage increase pending the completion of the non-contract s.. compensation study. The collective bargaining groups are entering the final year of their three-year contracts and have agreed upon increases included in the budget. Page 6 4125/01 General Fund Expenditure: Highlights of the General Fund Expenditures Include: ■ A$500,000 contribution to the Riverwalk Project. ■ A$100,000 transfer of General Fund Reserves to the Street Program to pursue a more aggressive improvement program in 2001-02. ■ Use of$310,000 of General Fund reserves for capital improvement projects. ■ Maintaining the vehicle replacement program in the Police and Public Works Department with planned replacements of four patrol cars, one unmarked car, the Street Superintendent's vehicle, a one-ton dump truck, and two large dump/snowplow trucks. ■ Implementation of a vehicle replacement program in the Community Development and Parks and Recreation Departments with the planned purchase of three replacement vehicles. ■ Grant funded purchases of police equipment totaling approximately $140,000. ■ Addition of an Information Technology Coordinator in Administration Department. • Addition of one Sergeant and two Patrol Officers/Investigators in the Police Department. ■ Addition of one Building Inspector in Community Development "1 ■ Addition of one Recreation Supervisor as a temporary full-time replacement for an employee currently on leave of absence. ■ General salary adjustments of 3% for non-contract positions. • Commitments to capital projects consistent with the Five-Year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) as highlighted in the attached Schedule D. Water Sewer Fund: The approved Water Sewer Utility Expenditure budget reflects $4,903,953. The net expenditure budget total is $3,043,874, after discounting capital project activity and interdepartmental transfers. The Water Division reflects an increase of two employees, to initiate the City's meter reading system for water and sewer accounts. The City is currently under contract with another utility to provide meter reads. The contractor has recently notified the City of McHenry they will no longer provide this service. The contract expires in November of 2001. Assistant Administrator Maxeiner noted the proposed 2001-2002 budget provides for the maintenance of existing service levels, while undertaking an aggressive capital improvements program for street drainage, and water and sewer infrastructure improvements. The budget is balanced as presented, using a planned use of reserves for project or equipment, previously appropriated, for which an expenditure was not made, and for one-time capital project expenditures. The budget also reflects reserves for unforeseen events, changes in economic conditions, and daily cash flow requirements. Page 7 4/25/01 L..
