REQUEST FOR FENCE VARIANCE, 602 NORTH GREEN STREET Assistant Administrator Martin stated Dr. Roger Lundquist, a resident of 602 North Green Street, has requested permission to replace his existing 6' privacy fence which is set back approximately 5' from his Green Street property line. As the replacement fence would not meet with the City's current fence regulations in that it exceeds the maximum 42" height, is not a split rail design and is not set back at least 30' from the front property line, a variance is required. Staff supports the applicant's request. Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Santi, to accept Staffs recommendation to approve a fence variance for the property located at 602 North Green Street, to allow a 6' high, cedar privacy fence, to be placed 5' from the Green Street property line. Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Murgatroyd, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: PURCHASE SHADE STRUCTURE FOR PETERSEN PARK STAGE - PARK AND RECREATION SUPPLY, IN THE AMOUNT OF $13,827 Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel noted the Parks and Recreation Committee has recommended the purchase of a shade structure to be used to cover the Petersen Park Stage. Staff secured three quotes for the project. The lowest quote was submitted by Park and Recreation Supply of Union, Illinois in the amount of $13,827. Director Merkel ' noted contributions toward this purchase were made by the McHenry Chamber in the amount of$2,000 and Meijer Stores in the amount of$10,000. May 22, 2006 Page 7 Alderman Condon suggested if other organizations wish to use the structure they should have to pay a fee. In response to Alderman Santi's inquiry, Director Merkel explained the frame would remain up once constructed, but the canopy would be removed between uses. Responding to Alderman Murgatroyd's inquiry, Director Merkel stated the canopy would take approximately 2-2 '/ hours to assemble/disassemble. Motion by Condon, seconded by Schaefer, to accept the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Committee to approve the purchase of a 30' X 40' cantilever shade structure for the Petersen Park Stage from Park and Recreation Supply of Union, Illinois in the amount of$13,827. Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Murgatroyd, Wmmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT FOR JAYCEES DAY FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION City Administrator Maxeiner stated a request has been made for additional funding for the Annual Jaycees Day Fourth of July Event. The Jaycees would like to have live musical entertainment for their celebration. The cost for the live musical entertainment is $1,000. Alderman Murgatroyd inquired about the change from a D.J. to live entertainment. Director Merkel stated the celebration committee thought the band might be a better draw. The band is scheduled to play from 7-9 p.m. Alderman Murgatroyd opined if the vendors are at the park at 4:00 p.m., it would make better sense for the band to start playing earlier in the day. Director Merkel stated the band is going to be there in addition to the D.J. this year. Alderman Schaefer expressed concerns regarding security and traffic. Director Merkel responded Ks Security and the Jaycees closely monitor the event. Alderman Murgatroyd inquired about the capacity of the park. Director Merkel stated Park capacity varies for each use. For the Blue Oyster Cult concert, there was an attendance of nearly 5,000; but at a family event like the fireworks, the people congregate closer together and some even remain in their cars in the parking area. Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Peterson, to accept Staffs recommendation to contribute additional funding in the amount of $1,000 for the annual Jaycees Days Fourth of July Celebration toward the cost of providing live musical entertainment for the event.

PUBLIC WORKS GARAGE LUST REMEDIATION Director of Public Works Marcinko reminded Council at its April 21, 2003 regularly scheduled meeting, Council approved Baxter and Woodman's proposal for the installation and operation of equipment to remediate soil contamination at the Public Works Garage from a leaking underground storage tank (LUST). The remediation continues and additional expenditure of funds should have been included in the 2006/2007 budget in the amount of $161,252.50. Director Marcinko stated once the City met its initial $10,000 deductible, all money expended for this project is reimbursable from the IEPA. Consequently the budget should have shown an expenditure of the $161,252.50 for additional remediation services and a reimbursement revenue line item in the same amount. Staff recommends the required budget amendment. Alderman Murgatroyd inquired if this will affect the duration of the remediation process. Director Marcinko responded the remediation should be completed by the end of June 2006. Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Condon, to accept Staffs recommendation to increase the 2006/2007 expenditure budget in the amount of $161,252.50 for additional remediation services at the Public Works Garage, and an increase in the reimbursements revenue line item of the General Fund in the amount of$161,252.50.
