ANNE STREET/EDGEBROOK SUBDIVISION DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT FUNDING
Assistant Administrator Maxeiner informed Council the Five-Year Capital
Improvement Plan recently approved by Council includes approximately $1.0 million in
drainage improvements to the Anne Street/Edgebrook Subdivision Drainage area. Staff is
proposing the implementation of a Special Service Area to pay for fifty percent of these
drainage improvements. The balance would be considered the public benefit portion and
financed through General Revenue Funds. The 2001-2002 proposed budget assumes the
creation of a Special Service Area as the funding mechanism for this project. Assistant
Administrator Maxeiner requested Council direct Staff to proceed with the Special Service
Area or propose and prepare a funding mechanism alternative. The proposed Special
Service Area was also presented. Assessed valuation for the proposed Special Service
Area in 2000 values totaled approximately $88 million. Assistant Administrator Maxeiner
noted the owner of a $150,000 property could expect to pay between $65 to $70 annually
for the issuance of 15-year bonds.
In response to Council inquiry, Assistant Administrator Maxeiner noted a Special -1
Service Area is a financing mechanism whereby a property tax is levied upon the owners
property within a defined service area.

Alderman Bolger expressed his opposition to the initiation of a Special Service Area
as a funding mechanism for this project. He also expressed concerns regarding the
replacement cost of the spillway located on the McHenry Country Club property. He
suggested Staff investigate the feasibility of developing a retention pond on the North
Pacini Property. Alderman Bolger informed Council he had contacted both State
Representative Franks and Senator Klemm via letter regarding State Member Initiative
Monies for this project.
In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry regarding the inclusion of undeveloped
properties within the Special Service Area, Staff noted the proposed Area was conditional
subject to Council consideration and revision.
Alderman Bolger suggested Staff obtain easements from McHenry Country Club.
Director of Public Works Batt noted the Anne Street/Edgebrook Subdivision Drainage
Improvements Project requires three easements. The affected property owners have all
verbally agreed to provide said easements to the City of McHenry for this project. Director
Batt also expressed concern with the elimination of the project's alternative, citing the
potential to negatively impact the McHenry Country Club spillway. Some discussion
followed.
Alderman Baird expressed concern with the inclusion of developed properties within
the Special Service Area.
Alderman Bolger suggested Staff revisit the low bid and attempt to negotiate a lower
price. Staff recommended the Special Service Area be revised and a recapture agreement
be created for properties developed in the future. Alderman Baird opined properties
currently providing detention be eliminated from the Special Service Area.
Director of Public Works Batt explained every property is positively impacted by the
proposed Drainage Improvements. The current drainage system is no longer able to
convey the water flow of a ten-year storm. Director Batt also noted these improvements do
not negate the need for a detention basin to accommodate storm water runoff associated
with 100-year storms.
Discussion followed regarding the establishment of a Special Service Area.
Alderman Murgatroyd noted if Council elects not to establish a Special Service Area for
this project, other much needed projects will be postponed and/or eliminated.
In response to Council inquiry, Assistant Administrator Maxeiner noted the
customary time frame for the establishment of a Special Service Area is approximately six
months. It was the consensus of Council to send the establishment of a Special Service
Area to finance the Anne Street/Edg eb rook Subdivision Drainage Improvements Project to
the Finance and Personnel Committee for further consideration.
Alderman Murgatroyd reminded Council of the time constraints associated with this
project due to the coordination with the McHenry Elementary School District 15
improvements prior to the start of the 2001-2002 school year.

Council suggested Staff continue moving forward with the project. Project financing
can be determined at a later date.
