Home My WebLink AboutMinutes - 01/16/2001 - City Council REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 16, 2001 `.. A Regular Meeting of the McHenry City Council was called to order by Mayor Cuda, at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, January 16, 2001 in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Center. At roll call the following Aldermen were present: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird. Absent: None. City Staff in attendance were: City Administrator Lobaito, City Clerk Althoff, City Attorney McArdle, Chief of Police Kostecki, Director Public Works Batt, Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel, Director Community Development Napolitano, Assistant Administrator Maxeiner. Absent: None. TEN MINUTE PUBLIC INPUT SESSION Chuck Majercik, McHenry Township Road Commissioner, addressed Council, noting recent annexations by Johnsburg, Lakemoor, McCullom Lake, Ringwood, Richmond, and Prairie Grove have increased the number of McHenry Township roads with multi-jurisdictional boundaries. He noted the increased difficulty in determining maintenance and snowplowing responsibilities, even with intergovernmental agreements in place addressing these issues. Road Commissioner Majercik requested no formal action. At Alderman Glab's initiation some discussion followed regarding the speed limit on Bull Valley Road. Mr. Majercik and Staff noted Bull Valley Road is a County road and under the County Board's jurisdiction. PUBLIC HEARING: ANNEXATION — 2120 WEST LINCOLN ROAD, MCHENRY SCHOOL DISTRICT 15 Mayor Cuda opened the Public Hearing at 7:35 p.m. regarding the annexation of McHenry Elementary School District 15's 38-acre Middle School site, located on the northwest corner of the Lincoln and Chapel Hill Roads intersection, commonly known as 2120 West Lincoln Road. McHenry Elementary School District 15 Assistant Superintendent Jeffrey O'Connell and School Board member Chris Cardamone were in attendance. Staff noted when annexation discussions originated, this school site was not contiguous to the City's corporate limits. As McHenry Elementary School District 15 required City of McHenry utility service to facilitate the construction of a middle school on this site, an intergovernmental agreement was drafted to delineate the terms and conditions of a utility service connection to the City's water and sewer systems, prior to annexation. During the review and modification of the intergovernmental agreement, the City of McHenry annexed the Gerstad Diedrich Farm property, which is contiguous to this school site, along the property's north and west perimeter. The McHenry Elementary School District 15 Middle School property could therefore be legally annexed, thus eliminating the need for an intergovernmental agreement. An annexation agreement was drafted addressing water recapture monies owed by the School District, as well as recapture provisions for the school district's construction of oversized sanitary sewer and water mains. The 38-acre site will receive E Estate zoning upon annexation. In addition, Staff noted McHenry Elementary School District 15 will need to appear before the Zoning Board of Appeals to obtain a conditional use permit, subsequent to annexation. Schools are a conditional use in all residential districts. Page 2 1/16/01 In response to Alderman Murgatroyd's inquiry, Staff noted the ten-year annexation agreement term was standard for all annexation agreements since 1993. In addition, no annexation agreement was required for either the McHenry Elementary School District 15 Valley View School or Hilltop School properties, as no recapture agreement conditions were applicable to these properties. Mayor Cuda opened the floor to audience comments and/or questions. There were none. In response to Mayor Cuda's inquiry, City Clerk Althoff stated there had been no written or verbal comments received in the City Clerk's Office regarding the McHenry Elementary School District 15 petition for annexation of the property located at 2120 West Lincoln Road. Motion by Bolger, seconded by Glab, to close the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird, Cuda. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. In response to Alderman Baird's inquiry, Staff stated both Mr. Adams and McHenry Elementary School District 15 have agreed to the water reimbursement amount as specified in the District 15 annexation agreement. —, Motion by Bolger, seconded by Murgatroyd, to pass an ordinance authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk's execution of an Annexation Agreement with McHenry Elementary School District 15 for the McHenry Middle School located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Lincoln and Chapel Hill Roads, commonly known as 2120 West Lincoln Road.

REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR BID — FOX RIDGE PARK IMPROVEMENTS Parks and Recreation Committee Chairperson Alderman Baird informed Council the Parks and Recreation Committee, at last evening's committee meeting, approved a motion to recommend to full Council the authorization of Staff to advertise for bids for the Fox Ridge Park Improvements as presented. Smith Engineering, in conjunction with Parks and Recreation Department Staff, completed the plans and specifications for the proposed improvements. Improvements include the development of athletic areas consisting of five baseball/softball fields, two soccer fields, an archery range, a walking path, and parking lot. Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel distributed a detailed project cost estimate sheet. Page 8 1/16/01 Alderman Glab expressed concern with the proposed plan's density. He also ,IN expressed concern with the location of baseball/softball field #1 facing Whitmore Street. He opined the plan as presented would encourage onstreet parking on Whitmore Street. Alderman Murgatroyd clarified the Committee's motion to authorize the advertisement of Fox Ridge Park Improvement Bids should specify the archery range be bid separately, or, as an alternative. Staff also clarified these fields will be used primarily as practice fields. Some discussion followed regarding the size of the proposed gravel parking lot. Alderman Murgatroyd opined expanding the size of the proposed parking lot at this juncture would be fiscally irresponsible. Alderman Glab noted the parking lot, as designed, provides only 22 parking stalls per field, he suggested the design be revised with two less ballfields. Mayor Cuda noted the City could expand the parking lot at a later date if usage required the expansion. Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel informed Council the bids will be advertised locally as well as submitted to the bidders list provided by Smith Engineering. The proposed deadline date for bid submittal is Monday, February 5, 2001. Bid approval will be presented to Council for formal consideration at the regularly scheduled February 14, 2001 Council Meeting. A project completion date of September 7, 2001 will be specified. Director Merkel reminded Council the 2000-2001 Budget includes $225,000 for this project. The City of McHenry received $100,000 in Legislative Initiative monies from Representative Franks. --N Motion by Bolger, seconded by Baird, to authorize Staff to advertise for bids for the Fox Ridge Park Improvements as presented, subject to the bidding of the archery range as an alternative. Voting Aye: Bolger, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird. Voting Nay: Glab. Absent: None. Motion carried. McHenry Elementary School District 15 Assistant Superintendent Jeffrey O'Connell requested Council direct Staff to investigate the status of a proposed roadway from Dartmoor Drive traversing the boundary of the school site exiting at Whitmore Drive.

YEAR 2000 LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM Chief of Police Kostecki informed Council the McHenry Police Department is in receipt of an invitation to apply for local law enforcement block grants through the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority. Chief Kostecki is requesting Council approve the submission of a $10,987 grant application to purchase equipment to be utilized in evidence collection. The grant does require matching funds by the City of McHenry in an amount of $1,373. Page 9 1/16/01 �..

RECREATION CENTER ADVISORY QUESTION Assistant Administrator Maxeiner informed Council Staff was directed at the July 12, 2000 regularly scheduled Council Meeting, to prepare language for an advisory referendum question for a community recreation center to appear on November 7, 2000 ballot. Council direction was to prepare a simplistic question asking voters to advise the City Council on whether they want a recreation center without providing information on funding for construction and operation. At the August 16, 2000 regularly scheduled Council Meeting, Council postponed placing the question on the November 7, 2000 General Election ballot, placing the question on the April 3, 2001 Consolidated Election ballot instead. The following referendum question language was presented for Council consideration: `- "Shall the City of McHenry construct and operate a community recreation center — which would include a gymnasium, fitness center, walking/jogging track, activity rooms, racquetball courts, preschool/toddler care rooms, and possibly an indoor lap pool — to address the recreational programming needs of the residents of the City of McHenry." Parks and Recreation Committee Chairperson Alderman Baird informed Council the Parks and Recreation Committee recommended the inclusion of senior programs in the proposed advisory question language. The question should now read: "Should the City of McHenry construct and operate a community recreation center — which would include a gymnasium, fitness center, walking/jogging track, activity rooms, racquetball courts, preschool/toddler care rooms, programs for senior citizens, and possibly an indoor lap pool — to address the recreational programming needs of the residents of the City of McHenry?" Some discussion followed regarding the phrase "possibly an indoor lap pool'. Staff clarified the inclusion of a lap pool was as yet a debatable option. Motion by Baird, seconded by Murgatroyd, to pass a resolution authorizing the following advisory referendum question language to be included on the April 3, 2001 Consolidated Election ballot for the City of McHenry: Page 10 1/16/01 "Should the City of McHenry construct and operate a community recreation .� center — which would include a gymnasium, fitness center, walking/jogging track, activity rooms, racquetball courts, preschool/toddler care rooms, programs for senior citizens, and possibly an indoor lap pool — to address the recreational programming needs of the residents of the City of McHenry?" Voting Aye: Bolger, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Abstaining: Glab. Absent: None. Motion carried. Alderman Bolger requested financing and cost information be provided in any informational materials provided the general public. Mayor Cuda requested City Attorney McArdle investigate whether the City could expend monies to develop informational literature regarding the proposed recreation center advisory question. Alderman Baird clarified a financing plan has not yet been developed. The question is to determine public support for the development of a financing plan to construct and operate a recreational center.
