CONSENT AGENDA
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas P.Martin,Assistant City Administrator
FOR: October 30,2006 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Ordinance authorizing the execution of the first amendment to the recapture agreement
with Gerstad Builders, Inc. for the sanitary sewer improvements associated with the
development of an approximately 100 acre property located on the north side of Lincoln
Road and west side of Chapel Hill Road in the City of McHenry,Illinois
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the attached ordinance.
This item was brought before the City Council on October 2nd of this year. At that meeting, Alderman
Glab had some questions regarding the 20 excluded properties from the original recapture agreement for
Liberty Trails, as well as whether a public hearing on this issue should be required. Since that time, Staff
has rechecked the list of properties originally excluded and has removed the ones that no longer exist. In
addition, the City Attorney has determined that a public hearing is not necessary because the recapture
agreement was approved by a recapture ordinance separate from the annexation agreement and that is
what is being amended. The annexation agreement included only general language on reimbursement
provisions.
When the original Gerstad recapture agreement for the extension of the sanitary sewer main north on
Lincoln Road was approved by the City Council on October 6, 2003, 17 property index numbers were
inadvertently excluded from the property index number exhibit. These properties however were included
in the total acreage calculations for recapture as well as on Group Exhibit "C", which is a map of the
sewer benefited areas. In order to correct this error, attached is an ordinance authorizing the execution of
the first amendment to the recapture agreement adding those 17 properties to the list.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE
LIBERTY TRAILS RECAPTURE AGREEMENT
Whereas, Gerstad Builders, Inc. ("Gerstad") is the developer of the Liberty Trails
Subdivision, McHenry, Illinois;
Whereas, Gerstad constructed sanitary sewer improvements upon the understanding that
the City of McHenry would execute a recapture agreement permitting reimbursement to Gerstad of
an equitable portion of the cost thereof from other lands which will benefit there from;
Whereas, the terms and conditions relating thereto were incorporated into a recapture
agreement authorized by Ordinance No. ORD-03-1194 adopted by the City Council on October 6,
2003 and filed in the McHenry County recorder of deeds as Document Number R2004R0003239
("Original Recapture Agreement");
Whereas,the Original Recapture Agreement included an Exhibit B setting forthe benefited
property owners, however, said Exhibit B inadvertently excluded seventeen (17) properties
("Excluded Parcels").The other exhibits to the Original Recapture Agreement accurately reflected or
accounted for the Excluded Parcels; and
Whereas, Exhibit B to the Original Recapture Agreement shall be amended to add the
Excluded Parcels.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MCHENRY, MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: That Ordinance Number 03-1194 is hereby amended as follows:

CONSENT AGENDA
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas P.Martin,Assistant City Administrator
FOR: October 30,2006,Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Purchase of a Wireless Alarm Monitoring System
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: To direct Staff to solicit responses through a Request for Proposal to
provide a wireless municipal alarm monitoring system and maintenance service.
On September 25t', of this year, Staff brought before the Finance and Personnel Committee for consideration a
proposal to convert the current alarm monitoring board in the police department to a wireless alarm monitoring
system. Currently, in the City any new business has the option of directly connecting into the alarm monitoring
system located in the police dispatch center. When the offsite alarm is triggered, a direct signal is sent to the
municipal center,via a phone line.
Currently Norshore Alarm owns and maintains the alarm monitoring board in the dispatch center. Staff has been
attempting to get Norshore to update their equipment for some time, which is approximately 30 years old;however,
they have not responded. Consequently, staff has spoken to two alarm monitoring companies to explore the
possibility of providing wireless equipment to the City. One of the options in doing this is to have a company own
and maintain the entire system. The other option is to purchase the capital equipment and maintain ownership of the
system. In that instance, an alarm monitoring company would simply have an agreement with the City to maintain
the equipment, which is the direction that staff recommends. Below is a comparison between the City's existing
alarm system and the proposed wireless system.
Existing Alarm Monitoring System New Wireless Alarm Monitoring System
Uses phone lines Uses no hard wiring
Higher user rates($45+monitoring/month) Reduced user rates($70/month)
Linked via individual phone lines User radios form a wireless web network
UL allows up to 15 min. emergency response Emergency response within 2-3 minutes
Existing equipment is 30 years old Brand new system would be installed
City receives no income City to receive constant revenue stream
City does not own equipment City will own equipment
Multitude of false alarms occur Drastically reduces number of false alarms
Staff time-responding to false alarms Saves staff time-responding to false alarms
Because the City dispatches for the McHenry Township Fire Protection District and the overwhelming majority of
the alarms monitored are fire,City staff has been working closely with officials from the fire protection district. The
fire protection district supports this transition to a wireless system for many of the reasons listed above. City Staff,
as well as Fire Chief Amore,visited the Algonquin Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District who recently purchased
this wireless alarm monitoring system approximately 1 year ago.
The fire districts rave over this system for the simple fact that the emergency response time is drastically reduced
compared to alarms connected to a central station monitoring system. Central alarm monitoring services essentially
act as a "middle-man" in that when they receive an alarm signal, they must then contact the local dispatch center.
This process can legally take up to 15 minutes prior to the arrival of an emergency responder to a fire.
Staff recommends the solicitation of responses to provide a wireless municipal alarm monitoring system and
maintenance service.
CONSENT AGENDA
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Management Assistant for Community Relations
FOR: October 30, 2006, Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Toys for Tots Parade and Downtown Christmas Walk
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the following: 1)the closure of Court Street and Park
Street for approximately one hour after the conclusion of the Toys for Tots Parade; 2) requests
for temporary signage; 3)temporary use permits for a horse-drawn wagon ride,petting zoo and
pony rides; and, 4) waiver of all associated fees.
BACKGROUND: On Sunday,November.19,the McHenry Area Jaycees and the Downtown
Business Association(DBA) will be hosting their 19t' annual Toys for Tots Parade and

Day's parade. It will begin on Main Street and proceed north on Green Street, east on Pearl
Street, north on Riverside Drive, and finally west on Broad Street ending at Veterans Memorial
Park. For approximately one hour after the conclusion of the parade,the Jaycees are asking to
close both Court and Park Streets between Pearl and Broad Streets to allow for the parking of
motorcycles and disbandment of the parade. A presentation of toys will be made to the Marines
for local needy children on behalf of the local Harley Owners' Group followed by an appearance
by Santa Claus in the gazebo to take pictures with the children. The Jaycees will also set up
tables to sell refreshments and provide craft activities for children after the parade.
The DBA's Christmas Walk will be held in conjunction with the parade. The DBA is proposing
horse drawn wagon rides,pony rides in the vacant lot on the southwest corner of Route 120 and
Riverside Drive, and a petting zoo in Neumann Park. Handlers will be there to supervise and
cleanup after the animals. Other attractions throughout the day include McHenry High School
Choral Groups,Band Ensembles, and drama students wearing character costumes.
The DBA is also requesting permission to install temporary signs similar to those used to
promote city band concerts and area craft shows; and, a larger sign to be placed in the vacant lot
located on the corner of Riverside Drive and Route 120. A list of proposed sign locations is
attached.

ORDINANCE AMENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND REQUEST FOR FENCE
VARIANCE FOR PLAYGROUND AT MONTINI CATHOLIC SCHOOL, 3504
WASHINGTON STREET
Director of Community Development Napolitano stated Montini Catholic School is
requesting an expansion of its conditional use permit to allow a playground on their
property west of the existing school site. In addition, the school is requesting a variance to
allow the installation of a five-foot high fence along the perimeter of the lot which would
surround the playground. Director Napolitano explained the site of the proposed
playground is located on a double-frontage lot. Erecting a fence along its perimeter
requires a variance from the fence requirements contained in the Municipal Code. Staff
supports the requested expansion of the conditional use permit and fence variance.
October 16, 2006
Page 6
In attendance were Mr. and Mrs. James Chrzan, Chairpersons of the Montini
Primary Center Playground Committee.
Alderman Glab inquired why the fence is not being located on the west property
line. Mr. Chrzan explained the 2 % foot setback allows a buffer between the playground
and the residence to the west.
Motion by Condon, seconded by Schaefer, to accept Staffs recommendation as
follows regarding Montini Primary Center located at 3504 Washington Street:
1. Pass an ordinance granting an expansion to the existing conditional use permit
allowing a school playground in a residential district;
2. Grant a variance to allow a five-foot high black ornamental aluminum fence
around the perimeter of the playground lot located immediately west of the
existing school building.
Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Murgatroyd, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.

RE: Demolition of the vacant house on 4312 Lakewood Road and vacant house,
barn, and silo located at 312 North Green Street.
Background. On September 25, 2006, the City Council approved a request to advertise for bids
for the demolition of the vacant house at 4312 Lakewood and the vacant house, barn, and silo at
312 S. Green Street. The 2006/07 fiscal year budget includes $25,000 for demolition of the
Lakewood Road house and $60,000 for the Green Street structures. Both projects are funded by
park donations.
The bid specifications combined the houses in a single bid. The barn was a separate bid item due '
to the fact that there are companies that specialize in the removal and reuse of barn wood. The
silo was also included as a separate item.
Analysis. Three bids were received for demolishing the houses with the apparent low bidder
being Cornerstone Material Recovery of McHenry for $37,700. The city has worked with
Cornerstone in the past,most recently for the demolition of the Wahl Appliance building.
Two bids were received for the demolition of the barn at 312 S. Green Street. Langos
Corporation of Barrington submitted a low bid of$12,300 for the barn and$1,200 for the silo.
Ken Fiske of the McHenry County Historical Barn Preservation Association has been asked to
record and register the barn before its demolition.
Recommendation. 1) To accept the bid of$37,700 from Cornerstone Material Recovery for the
demolition of the vacant houses located at 4312 Lakewood Road and 312 S. Green Street; and,2)
accept the bid of $12,300 from Langos Corporation for the demolition of the barn at 312 S.
Green Street and$1,200 for demolition of the concrete silo.
In attendance were: Management Assistant Hobson, Director Parks and Recreation Merkel, Deputy Clerk Kunzer, Gary Langos

FOR: October 30, 2006 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Municipal Drive
ATTACHMENTS: ComEd Proposal
Background. During the installation of underground utilities for Municipal Drive, the
contractor discovered an existing ComEd electric cable that is in conflict with the new
roadway. The ComEd cable is located within an easement along Bank Drive at the new
Municipal Drive intersection. ComEd has submitted the attached customer work agreement to
relocate the cable totaling$15,132.88 for the city's approval.
Analysis. This cost was somewhat foreseen in the respect that we knew that the new
roadway was encroaching on the existing easement. However, neither SEC nor ComEd knew
exactly where the cable was located within the easement. Unfortunately, once the cable was
uncovered it was determined that the cable had to be moved. Because this cable is in an
easement and not in the right of way, the city is responsible to have it relocated. It is
important to note that as part of this work agreement, Cor�Ed will be relocating cable and
utility poles associated with the project at no cost to the citythat are within the Green Street
right of way.
Recommendation. Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposal from ComEd
to relocate underground cables in conflict with the Municipal Drive project in an amount not
to exceed$15,132.88
