Agenda Item 2
McHenry Zone Skate Park Renovation
Staff met with the Skate Park focus group on February 9t" to review the
plans that were discussed with the Parks and Recreation Committee at the
January 12, 2011 meeting.
Two sets of plans (#4229 & #4237) were evaluated and discussed.
Comments were generally positive with a few suggested changes.
- Two of the large ramp areas for the BMX were reduced in size
- One fun box was eliminated and two steel grind rails were added
- One small BMX ramp was eliminated
The configuration of the remaining fun box was changed to add a
pyramid feature
Plan #4278 (attached) is the result of the discussion and recommendations
from the focus group meeting held in February.
Estimated costs range from a high of $202,737 for the all steel system to a
low of $198,301 for the wood frame/skatelite system.
The cost estimates received with this plan included an installation fee that
was not submitted with the past plants. These costs range from $19,229 to
$28,563 depending on the type of system.
We would anticipate costs would be slightly lower once a request for quotes
is solicited on a competitive basis. The final cost for renovation of this wood
ramp park could be in the $160-$180,000 range based on the design
presented.
The decision of the committee is whether to move ahead and solicit price
quotations for the plan submitted or to further reduce the size of the
project. One previous plan eliminated the BMX section (#4237) reducing
project costs to $102,094-$71,448 depending on the system selected.

AGENDA ITEM 3
Dog Park Discussion
In 2005, the City of McHenry developed site plans and cost estimates for
development of a dog park at Riverside Hollow Park and Fox Ridge Park
(West). Both sites were not developed due to neighborhood objections and
high development costs. A third site was considered at the north end of the
Petersen Park Farm with access from the Home Depot lot. Access and high
development costs are the main obstacles on this particular site.
Staff has continued to look for suitable locations for this type of facility in
the community. Two potential sites have been identified:
1) IDOT FAP 420/North - This property located between Kohl's and Best
Buy, East of Route 31, could be used with permission from IDOT. Access
and parking may be granted by adjoining commercial properties.
Approximately 20-22 acres could be available.
2) McHenry Municipal Center/Knox Park - This city owned property west of
the Municipal Building and south of Knox Park could be utilized until a
Recreation Center or other municipal use is needed. Parking and access
could be designated from the Knox Barn/Skate Park lot. This site could
be as small as few acres up to 10 acres in size.
Both of these locations would be developed at less cost than our previous
locations due to the use of ' existing parking lots and minimal site
development costs. Water is available at both locations and electric is
accessible at Knox Park. The Municipal Center site is the most visible and
would be easier for staff to monitor and supervise.
A dog park concept has been ranked high in our community needs assessment
and we continue to receive requests or inquiries.
The committee can discuss the feasibility of these two sites and decide
whether to direct staff to move forward with preliminary plan and cost
estimates.

ILLINOIS URBAN FOREST RESTORATION GRANT
APPLICATION FORM
1. Applicant Organization Name: City of McHenry
2. Tax ID Number: 36-6005993
3. Applicant Contact Information:
Thomas Schmidt
333 S. Green St. McHenry, IL. 60050
tschmidt@ci.mchenry.il.us
815-363-2162
4. Municipal population: 27,525 by special census in 2008
5. Tree City USA status: 17 years with 2010 application and a growth award in 2007
6. Current Emerald Ash Borer Information attached
7. The City of McHenry currently doesn't have a populated Community Tree Inventory. McHenry
has purchased the Davey Tree Keeper program and has applied for a technical grant to conduct
the inventory. In 2008 a windshield survey was done of all parkway trees within in the city to
gauge the ash tree population. Of the 4364 trees surveyed 806 were found to be ash trees,
giving the city an approximately 18%ash tree component.
RESTORATION GRANT STATEMENT OF NEED
McHenry currently does not have a populated tree inventory, but that is not necessary to see
the many vacant planting sites throughout our community. Even without the introduction of
Emerald Ash Borer to the city, it will take the community many years to fill the vacant planting
spaces.The opportunity to apply for this grant will help start the process of restoring
McHenry's tree canopy and achieving many of the goals set forth in the grant program.
When Emerald Ash Borer arrives in our community, almost one thousand additional trees will
need to be removed and replaced,which is a daunting task for any.community.'lt is estimated
that the cost of removal and replanting could reach over$500,000 over the next several years.
This grant is a small step to begin mitigating the effect Emerald Ash Borer will have on our
community. It is a welcome opportunity, and we look forward to working with the
Metropolitan Mayors Caucus on the grant.
WORK PLAN
TASK ONE
Removal:Twenty eight trees will be completely removed including stump removal from the selected
neighborhood.This will be accomplished by in-house staff from the Public Works Department.
TASK TWO
Planting:Twenty eight two inch caliper trees will be planted according to the International Society of
Arboriculture guide for planting ball and burlapped trees in all soil types.The trees will be supplied
water at the rate of one inch equivalent of rainfall on a weekly basis for the first three years when soil
moisture conditions warrant, until the trees are established.All trees will be mulched with a three foot
diameter ring, to a depth of 2"-3"which shall be maintained until the tree is established.Trees shall be
watered in at the time of planting.
TASKTHREE
Maintenance:The trees will be placed on the training pruning cycle after establishment and remain
there for approximately twelve years.The trees will then be placed on the current pruning cycle of
seven years.
ISA CERTIFIED ARBORIST STATEMENT

Tree Maintenance Agreement ,
This Tree Maintenance Agreement between the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (Caucus) and the
Grantee certifies that customary and reasonable tree care and maintenance will be performed
at least through 2014 for trees planted under the terms.of the Illinois Urban Forest
Restoration Grant for EAB.
Maintenance recommendations are detailed in International Society of Arboriculture Tree
Planting Best Management Practice http://secure.isa-arbor.com/webstore/BMPs-
059.aspx
Sample Plan:
Trees must be mulched and watered appropriately for three years to enable trees
to become fully established and thrive. During the growing season.1" of water
should be applied weekly to the root ball of newly planted trees unless adequate
soil moisture is present.
A 2"-Y layer of organic, wood chip mulch will be maintained in a circular area
around the base of the tree that is at least 3' in diameter.
All tags, rope and wire ties will be removed. Trunk wrap may remain in place for
the first winter season if necessary for thin-barked trees. Stakes will only be
used in windy locations and will be removed after one year.
All trees will be monitored for pests or other signs of stress, and conditions will be
remedied when appropriate and possible.
Upon completion of the tree planting, a fist of trees planted under this project must be submitted
quarterly through 2014. For each, list: date planted, species, diameter, location, cost of tree and
labor, and condition (poor, fair, good; excellent).' A template has been enclosed in this
application: A substitute format (i.e., planting blueprint, computerized inventory) may be used
with approval of the Grant Supervisor. Failure to comply with this requirement may result'in
cancellation of the current grant and disqualification from future grants.
I certify that; according to the above, my organization will comply with tree maintenance
requirements.
