PRESENTATION: BOONE CREEK WATERSHED ALLIANCE
Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel introduced Dennis Dreher. Mr. Dreher
made a presentation to Council on the Watershed Protection and Restoration Strategy for
Boone Creek.
Mr. Dreher stated the Boone Creek Watershed Alliance was formed in 2001 for the
purpose of protecting the integrity and bio-diversity of the Boone Creek Watershed
Ecosystem through partnerships that promote conservation, restoration, education and
wise land-use planning. He informed Council that the Boone Creek watershed
encompasses 15,650 acres within the municipalities of McHenry, Bull Valley, Woodstock
and unincorporated Nunda, Greenwood and Dorr Townships. He stated the watershed is
home to fens, wet prairies, sedge meadows and the largest complex of intact woodlands in
McHenry County. He noted the watershed currently contains four privately held nature
preserves, four protected natural areas, and a number of conservation easements.
Mr. Dreher provided Council with the following documentation in accompaniment to
his presentation:
• A draft of the Watershed Protection and Restoration Strategy for Boone Creek;
• Boone Creek Watershed map;
• Boone Creek Watershed Alliance Brochure;
• Project Participation Invitation, October 12, 2001 Open Lands Letter. _
Responding to Alderman Bolger's inquiry Mr. Dreher stated there is evidence
indicating that Boone Creek is a cold water stream.
In response to Director Merkel's inquiry Mr. Dreher informed Council funds are
available from the Army Corps of Engineers for ecologic restoration.
REQUEST TO CONNECT TO MUNICIPAL SANITARY SEWER: 1906 ORCHARD
BEACH ROAD
Director of Community Development Napolitano informed Council Ross Teresi,
owner of 1906 Orchard Beach Road, has requested connection of his property to the
municipal sanitary sewer. Director Napolitano stated a home is currently located on the
property, but the home has been vacant for nearly 20 years and it is Mr. Teresi's intent to
demolish the home and construct a new single-family residence. Rather than using a
septic system, Mr. Teresi would like to connect the new home to the City's municipal
sanitary sewer system.
Director Napolitano noted this is the fourth request from an Orchard Beach resident
to connect to the sanitary sewer. He stated Staff has forwarded a letter to the Orchard
Beach Homeowner's Association regarding interest in connecting homes on a larger scale,
however, as of this date, no response has been received.
Director Napolitano stated Staff has no concerns with the request and supports the
proposed connection. He noted this property is not contiguous; however sanitary sewer is
available and could be extended from the property to the south, which was already granted
connection. Staff suggests connection to the City's municipal sewer be granted subject to
March 1, 2004
Page 5
the following:
• Payment of the required connection and capital development fees for non-residents;
and
• The property being annexed to the City of McHenry within 90-days of becoming
contiguous to the City.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Murgatroyd, to approve Mr. Ross Teresi's request
for the connection of the property commonly known as 1906 Orchard Beach to the City's
municipal sewer system, subject to the following:
• Payment of the required connection and capital development fees for non-residents;
and
• The property being annexed to the City of McHenry within 90-days of becoming
contiguous to the City.

CONTRACT WITH MELROSE PYROTECHNICS FOR ANNUAL JAYCEES FOURTH OF
JULY FIREWORKS PROGRAM, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $25,000
City Administrator Maxeiner stated each ear the City of McHenry partners with the
McHenry Area Jaycees to provide the annual 4 of July fireworks display. In recent years
the Jaycees have provided $15,000 toward the cost of the event. City Administrator
Maxeiner noted for the past several years Melrose Pyrotechnics of Kingsbury, Indiana has
produced the show.
City Administrator Maxeiner informed Council in the spring of 2003, a local vendor
raised objections to the procurement process used by the City, and asked to be permitted
to provide a quote for the contract. Staff and representatives from the Jaycees developed
a request for qualification (RFQ) process consisting of a questionnaire asking for
information regarding experience of the firm, technological capabilities, safety data and
information about comparable events at which Staff and the Jaycees could view and
evaluate the ability of the firm to provide a fireworks show. The process was approved by
Council and RFQ's were provided to six fireworks companies in June 2003. Three
companies submitted completed packets:
• Melrose Pyrotechnics, Kingsbury, Indiana
• New Horizons Fireworks, Schiller Park, Illinois
• Brite Star Productions, Inc., Wadsworth, Illinois
City Administrator Maxeiner stated the three responding firms varied in size, with
the smallest producing nine shows per year and the largest producing over 1,200 shows
per year. It was noted each firm also possesses varying levels of sophistication regarding
the capacity to exhibit computer fireworks pyrotechnics and choreographed displays.
-`- None of the three firms reported being cited for safety concerns, and none listed any
accidents within the past five years.
March 1, 2004

City Administrator Maxeiner informed Council that Director of Parks and Recreation �-
Merkel, along with officials from the Jaycees, attended a number of shows conducted by
the three vendors. Additionally, conversations were conducted with fire protection officials
concerning set-up, production procedures, and safety precautions. Subsequently, based
upon experience, safety issues and performance of prior shows, the Jaycees and Director
Merkel agreed to pursue a one-year contract with Melrose Pyrotechnics for the 2004 4"' of
July show in the amount of$25,000.
Mr. Larry Brodin of New Horizons Fireworks addressed Council. Mr. Brodin stated
vehemently that New Horizons was not provided an adequate opportunity to bid on the
2004 fireworks display. City Administrator Maxeiner pointed out to Mr. Brodin the process
was not a bid process, but a competitive process based upon assessed qualifications of
each firm. .
Mayor Low opined she is satisfied the process was followed and she supports the
analysis performed and the recommendation of Staff and the McHenry Area Jaycees.
Alderman Bolger expressed disappointment, based upon Mr. Brodin's statements,
that perhaps New Horizons was not given a better opportunity during the process.
Alderman Murgatroyd stated he has attended many of the a of July fireworks _
presentations put on by Melrose Pyrotechnics and has always been pleased with the
perfonnance.
Alderman Glab pontificated on the merits of providing incentive to local vendors.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Murgatroyd, to approve the award of a one-year
contract to Melrose Pyrotechnics, Inc. for the 2004 a of July Fireworks Display, in the
amount of$25,000
Voting Aye: Low, Murgatroyd, Wimmer, Condon.
Voting Nay: Bolger, Glab, Peterson.

ORDINANCES APPROVING ANNEXATION AGREEMENT ANNEXATION AND ZONING
MAP AMENDMENT - LINCOLN HILLS PROPERTY
Director of Community Development Napolitano reiterated to Council that at the
November 17, 2003 regularly scheduled Council meeting a Public Hearing was conducted
to discuss Mr. Raymond Walls petition to annex the subject parcels. He stated the
property consists of approximately 18.7 acres located on the north side of Lincoln Road,
opposite Hillside Lane. Should annexation be approved, it is the intent of the Applicant to _
have the property rezoned to RS-2, Medium-Density Single-Family Residential and
request preliminary plat approval for 36 single-family lots.
Director Napolitano noted the following concerns expressed by Council at the Public
Hearing:
March 1, 2004
Page 7
• Connections between the subject property and properties to the north and west;
Lot size of the lots on the interior of the loop road at the north of the site;
• Property line discrepancy; and
• Would the County provide the developer with access to Lincoln Road, having
denied access onto Chapel Hill Road.
Director Napolitano stated on February 2, 2004 Council again discussed the
subdivision and following discussion directed Staff to prepare the necessary ordinances to
provide for the execution of an annexation agreement, annexation of the property and
rezoning to RS-2, Single Family Residential. He noted issues lacking consensus of
Council at that time were connection to the Archacki property and the property line
discrepancy issue.
Director Napolitano informed Council the Applicant has indicated a willingness to do
whatever Council requires regarding connection to the Archacki property. Director
Napolitano stated Staff continues to suggest the necessary right-of-way and utilities be
provided, but the road should not be constructed. Staff opined the road, curbing and
sidewalks should be constructed by Archacki when he develops his property.
Director Napolitano stated that Staff has met with Gerstad Builders and the
information provided indicates the work provided by their surveyor is accurate. It is the
belief of Gerstad's surveyor that an error was made when the property pins were set for
Archacki's property. Mr. Gerstad indicated he was aware of the discrepancy and
.... previously requested Mr. Archacki's surveyor contact Gerstad Builders to address the
error. Mr. Archacki did not respond to the request. Director Napolitano indicated the
Gerstad survey and the Lincoln Hills survey are identical regarding the legal descriptions.
Staff suggests the onus is on Mr. Archacki to hire a surveyor to accurately survey his
property.
Mayor Low recognized Mr. Stanley Archacki. Mr. Archacki addressed Council
stating he does not feel he should be responsible for street improvements, nor does he
feel he should be required to incur the expense of a survey. Mr. Archacki stated he was
willing to accept the Gerstad survey if Mr. Walls is willing to accept the Gerstad survey as
accurate. Mr. Walls indicated he is willing to accept the Gerstad survey as accurate.
Mr. Walls, representing Lincoln Hills, stated he does not feel he should be
responsible for street improvements with regard to the connections between properties to
the north and west, but indicated he would be willing to make them if that was Council's
direction.
Alderman Condon requested proper decorum be followed during discussion of this
matter. She requested that the involved parties await recognition by the Mayor prior to
voicing statements and opinions.
Alderman Condon opined she would support a right-of-way with utilities to Mr.
Archacki's property, but not necessarily a road. She indicated concern regarding the
property line dispute.
March 1, 2004
Page 8
Alderman Glab expressed strong reservations regarding the matter of annexation
being presented to Council when there is a boundary dispute at issue. Additionally, he
expressed concern with vehicular traffic in the area.
Alderman Peterson opined that prior to making a decision regarding annexation the
property line dispute should be resolved. Additionally, he stated he feels strongly that a
fully improved road be a condition of annexation due to safety concerns.
Responding to Mayor Low's inquiry, Mr. Walls stated he desires to move forward
with the project and stated he is willing to pay for a surveyor, chosen by the City of
McHenry, to prepare a third legal description for the property in order to resolve the
boundary dispute. It was the consensus of the Council to accept Mr. Walls' offer to pay
the cost of a surveyor, chosen by Staff.
Director of Community Development Napolitano, concurring with Alderman Glab,
supported the suggestion that money be held in an escrow account on behalf of Lincoln
Hills for the potential cost of construction of a road connecting to the Archacki property.
Upon annexation and development of Mr. Archacki's property the difference in the cost of
construction of the road, and the money deposited by Mr. Walls for road improvements,
would be made up by Mr. Archacki, thereby assuring the road would meet current
standards for road construction.
Alderman Condon stated she supports Staffs suggestion. Mayor Low, Alderman ~
Murgatroyd and Alderman Bolger concurred with Alderman Condon.
Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Wimmer, to approve an ordinance authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk's execution of an annexation agreement between the City of
McHenry and Raymond and Linda Walls for his Lincoln Hills Property, subject to the
following conditions:
• Staff will employ the services of an independent surveyor, which will be paid for by
Raymond S. Walls and/or Linda S. Walls, to obtain a legal description of the subject
property;
• Necessary right-of-way and utilities be provided;
• The road connecting the subject property and properties to the north and west be
dedicated to the City of McHenry; and
• A fee to be paid by Raymond R. Walls and Linda S. Walls to the City of McHenry, in
an amount equal to the cost of road improvement to the subject property, to be used
in the event the Archacki property is annexed and developed in the future.

been received from T-Mobile USA, a provider of wireless communication services, to enter
into a lease agreement with the City of McHenry to use the Sioux Lane water tower for
several wireless communications antenna. T-Mobile has indicated installation of the
antenna would provide better coverage for T-Mobile subscribers.
Director Napolitano stated the proposed antenna would be located on a 16-foot
diameter ring installed on the top of the water tower. The ring would hold 24 antennae. T-
Mobile's structural engineer has taken into account any additional stresses on the tower
,with installation of additional cables for support. Completed engineering drawings have
been provided to the City of McHenry and have been reviewed by the City Engineer.
Director Napolitano informed Council a Site Agreement between T-Mobile and the
City by the City Attorney to address terms and conditions for the proposed use. The City

increase of 3%. The initial term of the agreement is five years and may be extended for
four successive 5-year periods. Director Napolitano noted, upon termination of the
Agreement, T-Mobile agrees to remove all equipment and restore the structure. Director
Napolitano noted two minor revisions to the Site Agreement:
• Page 1, Item No. 4. The City of McHenry requests notice from T-Mobile prior to
access to the site; and
• Page 4, Item No. 19a. The City of McHenry requests language be included in the
Agreement regarding assignment of the lease.

T-Mobile USA, Lnc. would have to come before Council for approval.

Napolitano responded affirmatively to Alderman Murgatroyd's inquiry regarding whether T-
Mobile would maintain the antenna on the Sioux Lane water tower.
