CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT DATE: October 4, 2021 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Troy Strange, P.E., Director of Public Works RE: Township Road District Tax Levy ATT: Resolution Requesting Legislative Assistance BACKGROUND: Staff is presenting, for the consideration of the City Council, a Resolution Requesting Legislative Assistance to increase the annual distribution of Township Road District Tax Levies that is returned to Illinois Municipalities. SUMMARY: In Winter of 2021, staff was directed by the Public Works Committee to research the City’s history of municipal distribution receipts of Township Road District Tax Levies. This request was made due to recent adjustments of levy percentages by Nunda Townshi p, which have reduced the distributions received by the City of McHenry. This history was prepared and presented at the March 22, 2021 Public Works Committee Meeting, along with a number of options the City could pursue to increase its share of the Township Levies. The following options were presented for consideration: 1. Request that both Nunda Township and McHenry Township levy a larger percentage of their overall levy as Road and Bridge funds. As is shown above, Nunda Township has reduced its Road and Bridge levies dramatically in the past few years , but McHenry Township has not. Should Nunda restore its levy to its historical level of 0.1%, the City can expect to realize $50,000 of additional revenue per year. Neither of these Road and Bridge levies are currently set at the maximum level of 0.165%. An increase to the maximum levy would increase revenues to the City of McHenry , but would also increase overall taxation for City residents. 3 2. Lobby for a change in the State Statutes to allow for a larger municipal share of the collected Road and Bridge revenues. Right now municipal collections are capped at 50% of the Road and Bridge funds collected within the Municipality. An increase of this percentage up to possibly 100% distribution to municipalities would increase municipal revenues. This change will be extremely difficult to implement without the broader support of a coalition of municipal agencies which extends beyond McHenry County. This could reduce township revenues and ultimately result in higher levies to make up for lost revenue. 3. Lobby for a change in the State Statutes to allow for municipal sharing of Permanent Road Revenues. Any percentage sharing of this fund with municipal agencies would increase municipal revenues, but again, could result in higher levies should townships attempt to recoup lost revenues. Based upon Committee Discussion, staff worked with the City Attorney to draft a resolution requesting an amendment to 65 ILCS 5/6-501-507, which would increase the City’s share of all levies collected by the Township Road Districts. A draft resolution was presented to the Public Works Committee on July 27, 2021, and upon Committee review, staff were directed to make several revisions to the resolution before presenting to City Council at a later date. Committee further directed staff to send the final draft of the resolution to members of the Committee for any final comments prior to sending the final resolution to the City Council for adoption. The final draft was distributed to the entire City Council for the opportunity to provide final comments on September 10th and nor further comments were received, therefore, staff is presenting the final resolution to the City Council for approval. Upon execution of the resolution, the document will be distributed to local State representatives for presentation to the Illinois General Assembly. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if the City Council Concurs, it is recommended to adopt the attached Resoluti on Requesting Legislative Assistance to increase the annual distribution of Township Road District Tax Levies that is returned to Illinois Municipalities and to authorize staff to distribute the resolution to the City of McHenry’s State Representatives. 4 RESOLUTION NO. A Resolution Requesting Legislative Assistance City of McHenry, Illinois WHEREAS, dedicated streets located within municipalities are the responsibility of the municipalities, while dedicated streets located within Illinois Township Road Districts, but outside of municipalities, are the responsibility of the Township Road Districts; WHEREAS, funding for municipal street maintenance is extremely limited, while capital and maintenance needs and costs for municipal streets are high and continually increase; WHEREAS, Township Road Districts currently levy taxes through their General Road and Bridge Funds and Permanent Road Funds on residents within the Township Road Districts, including residents within municipalities; WHEREAS, Township Road Districts are required by the Illinois Highway Code, 605 ILCS 5/6-501 and 507 to share one half of the General Road and Bridge Funds collected from residents within municipalities; however, the Illinois Highway Code does not require sharing of Permanent Road Funds, even when those funds are collected from residents within municipalities; WHEREAS, the City of McHenry desires taxes collected from residents within its municipal limits be used for its municipal streets; WHEREAS, as a result of the municipalities not receiving any of the Permanent Road Funds, Township Road Districts can divert funds from the General Road and Bridge Funds (required to be shared with municipalities) to their Permanent Road Funds (not required to be shared with municipalities) by levying less for the General Road and Bridge Funds and more for the Permanent Road Funds; and WHEREAS, by way of example, since 2015, the tax levy for Nunda Township’s General Road and Bridge Fund (required to be shared with municipalities) has significantly declined. For comparison purposes, the tax levy for McHenry Township’s General Road and Bridge Fund is also provided. Year Nunda Township Road & Bridge Levy McHenry Township Road & Bridge Levy 2010 0.00085235 0.00120237 2011 0.00096554 0.00123179 2012 0.00105524 0.00133165 2013 0.00115791 0.00153660 2014 0.00116892 0.00165000 2015 0.00081090 0.00163005 2016 0.00055604 0.00155928 2017 0.00053495 0.00141184 2018 0.00051486 0.00137719 2019 0.00049364 0.00130623 5 Legislative Assistance, Page 2 The decline in Nunda Township’s tax levy resulted in significant decreases in the amount of funds to be shared with the City of McHenry. The revenues collected as a result of the decreased tax levy are provided. Year Nunda Township Road & Bridge Revenue 2010 $1,175,197.42 2011 $1,185,140.52 2012 $1,185,134.21 2013 $1,165,135.37 2014 $1,135,135.46 2015 $799,605.80 2016 $582,606.82 2017 $582,606.80 2018 $582,603.51 2019 $582,604.03 The amount of General Road and Bridge Funds received by the City of McHenry is determined by multiplying the levy times the equalized assessed value of the municipal properties located within Nunda Township. In 2014, the City of McHenry received $95,722.87, however, in 2015, the amount declined to $67,062.76, and in 2016 was down to $49,410.18…all while the equalized assessed values of the City of McHenry’s properties located in Nunda Township were increasing. (The equalized assessed values for the properties for 2014, 2015, and 2016 were $81,890,009.58, $82,701,640.15, and $88,860,837.35, respectively.) Since 2015, this amounts to the City of McHenry’s share being reduced by roughly $230,000. While the levy for the shared General Road and Bridge Fund has continually declined, the levy for Nunda Township’s Permanent Road Fund has correlated increases, so not only has there been a significant decrease in the amount of funds to be shared with the City of McHenry, but the Permanent Road Fund is not required to be shared with the City and has increased significantly. The revenues collected for the General Road and Bridge Fund (also shown above) and the Permanent Road Fund are provided. Year Nunda Township Road & Bridge Revenue Shared City and Township Nunda Township Permanent Road Levy Not shared, 100% Township 2010 $1,175,197.42 $1,981,628.13 2011 $1,185,140.52 $1,998,367.32 2012 $1,185,134.21 $1,998,366.92 2013 $1,165,135.37 $1,998,372.54 2014 $1,135,135.46 $1,998,373.29 2015 $799,605.80 $2,258,371.17 6 Legislative Assistance, Page 3 Year Nunda Township Road & Bridge Revenue Shared City and Township Nunda Township Permanent Road Levy Not shared, 100% Township 2016 $582,606.82 $2,358,371.55 2017 $582,606.80 $2,358,373.15 2018 $582,603.51 $2,358,375.31 2019 $582,604.03 $2,343,256.94 WHEREAS, the City of McHenry’s residents have suffered with the reduction and stagnation of the shared General Road and Bridge Funds, while Township Road Districts’ residents have benefited with the continued increase of the Permanent Road Fund.

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT DATE: October 4, 2021 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Troy Strange, P.E., Director of Public Works RE: Authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to Execute a Collective Bargaining Agreement Between the City of McHenry and The International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150, Public Employees Division ATT: Collective Bargaining Agreement Between the City of McHenry and Local 150 ______________________________________________________________________________ AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Staff is presenting, for the consideration of the City Council, a proposed four (4) year contract renewal between the City of McHenry and The International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150, Public Employees Division. BACKGROUND: The previous five (5) year contract term with Local 150 was between May 1, 2016 and April 30, 2021. As such, the previous contract is now expired. During the term of the previous contract, the annual cost of living wage increases were 2.25%, 2.5%, 2.5%, 2.5%, and 2.75%. City staff was notified of the Union’s intention to reopen negotiations in Spring of this year and began a series of negotiation meetings with Local 150 which concluded in August with the Union acceptance of the negotiated proposal. The negotiation process took longer than is ideal due to scheduling challenges with Local 150 and therefore retroactive pay will need to be accounted for when the contract is ratified. ANALYSIS: Beginning in Fall of 2020, City staff began preparations for the negotiations by developing a set of priorities and contract revisions that correspond with operational and structural changes to the Public Works Department. The text of the contract largely remains the same, however, the proposed contract modifications will make the current contract terms consistent which these changes. Staff’s focus for this contract has been to develop a grade and classification system that 9 is based upon credentialing and performance. This system will be utilized to develop staff for future management positions and to meet the City’s legal, statutory, and risk management obligations for its facilities and operations. Staff’s other primary focus for the negotiations was adjusting the contract terms regarding winter operations in terms of the duration of the winter operations season and allowable time off during the winter snow season. Non-Financial contract amendments include: • Section 5.2. Normal Work Period, Workday, and Work Schedule: This section has been modified to allow for the implementation of summer work hours of 6:30 am-3:00pm between May 1 and September 30 of each year. • Section 5.9 On-Call Pay: This section has been modified to include on call pay for Street and Utility Division staff as this practice has been implemented during the term of the previous contract. • Section 9.1 Holidays: This section has been modified to include the addition of Presidents’ Day and Veterans’ Day as recognized City Holidays. • Section 10.3 Scheduling and Accrual: This section has been modified to extend snow removal season from 12/1 though 3/31 to 11/15 through 3/31. The maximum number of Street Division staff allowed off at any given time has been reduced from two to one. • Section 16.2 Removal of Discipline: Duration of file retention for verbal reprimands has been reduced from 60 months to 24 mont hs and written reprimand file retention has been limited to 48 months. • Section 17.8 Maintenance of Specific Working Conditions: The reference to the City Personnel Policy Manual has been adjusted to the current manual adopted on September 20, 2021. • Section 17.13 Water/Wastewater Licensing: A reference limiting the number of employees allowed at each operator grade based upon Appendix B has been added. • Appendix A has been modified to list new grade classifications which are consistent with the Pay Grades identified in Appendix B. • Addition of Appendix B: Credential Tables for Job Classification & Pay Grades (5/1/21 - 4/30/25) Financial amendments to the contract include: • Section 13.1 Base Wages: Proposed annual wage increases are 2.25%, 2.25%, 2.25%, and 2.5% for each of the four years of the contract per the Appendix C Table. • Section 14.1 Uniform Allowances: Uniform allowances have been adjusted to $475 Total and $200 for boots in FY 21-22 & 22-23 contract years; uniform allowances have been adjusted to $500 Total and $225 for boots in FY 23-24 & 24-25 contract years. • Section 15.1 Union Health Plan: City contribution amounts for the Union Health Plan premiums have been adjusted to current rates. Plan increase percentage caps have been adjusted including a provision that the contract will be reopened for negotiations if the plan increases by greater than 7% in a given fiscal year. 10 Staff has reviewed the majority of Public Works contracts (Both Local 150 and Non-Local 150 Union Contracts) negotiated within a reasonable radius of the City of McHenry since April 30, 2020 and has found the negotiated pay increases to be representative of the current market for Public Works Contracts and associated wages. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the negotiated four (4) year collective bargaining agreement between the City of McHenry and the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150, Public Employees Division for a term beginning May 1, 2021 and ending April 30, 2025. 11 COLLECTIVE

If the new classification contains a significant part of the work now being done by any of the classifications covered by this Agreement, or whose functions are similar to employees in this bargaining unit, the parties will then meet within thirty (30) days to review the proposed classification and, if unable to reach agreement as to its inclusion or exclusion from the unit, the Union may petition the ISLRB to seek the necessary unit clarification. The Employer shall be free to implement its decision pending the outcome of the unit clarification petition and/or negotiations. If the inclusion of the proposed classification is agreed to by the parties or found appropriate under the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, the parties shall then negotiate as to the proper pay grade for the classification, provided, however, that (i) the City may establish a temporary pay grade pending the outcome of such negotiations, and (ii) the provisions of Article VIII (No Strike-No Lockout) shall remain in effect during such negotiations and in the event of an impasse in such negotiations. ARTICLE II UNION SECURITY AND RIGHTS Section 2.1. Dues and Fair Share Check-off. While this Agreement is in effect, the City will deduct the appropriate biweekly amount of dues or fair share fees from each employee in the bargaining unit who has filed with the City a lawful, voluntary, effective check-off authorization form. Check-off authorization forms shall be supplied by the Union. The City will honor all executed check-off authorization forms received not later than ten (10) working days (i.e., days the City’s administrative offices are open) prior to the next deduction date. If a conflict exists between the check-off authorization form and this Article, the terms of this Article and Agreement control. Total deductions collected for each month shall be remitted by the City to the Union by the tenth (10th) of the following month, together with a list of employees for whom deductions have been made. Dues and fair share fees deducted shall be sent to the official address designated in writing to the Employer by the Union. The Union agrees to refund to the employee any amounts paid to the Union in error on account of this dues deduction provision. 18 7 Dues or fair share shall be withheld and remitted to the Union unless or until such time as the City receives ten (10) working days written notice a revocation of dues and fair share check-off from an employee, or other timely notice of an employee’s death, transfer from covered employment, termination of covered employment, or when there are insufficient funds available tin the employee’s earnings after withholding all other legal and required deductions. Information concerning dues and fair share not deducted under this Article shall be forwarded to the Union, and this action will discharge the City’s only responsibility with regard to such cases. The City shall provide the Union with a copy of any revocation of dues deduction authorization within seven (7) calendar days of the date the revocation is received by the City. Semiannually, the City shall provide the Union with a list of all employees in the bargaining unit, their fair share/dues status, and the amount paid in the previous six-month period. Deductions shall cease at such time as a strike or work stoppage occurs in violation of Article VIII (No Strike-No Lockout). The actual dues and fair share amounts to be deducted shall be certified in writing to the City by the Union. Dues and fair share fees shall each be uniform in dollar amount for all employees in order to ease the Employer’s burden of administering this provision. The Union may charge the fixed uniform dollar amounts of its regular monthly dues and fair share fees once each calendar year during the life of this Agreement. The Union will give the City thirty (30) calendar days’ notice of any such change in the mount of uniform dues or fair share fees to be deducted. Section 2.2. Fair Share. (a) During the term of this Agreement, bargaining unit members who are not members of the Union shall, commencing thirty (30) days after their employment or thirty (30) days after the effective date of this Agreement, whichever is later, pay a uniform fair share fee to the Union for collective bargaining and contract administration services rendered by the Union, provided that the fair share fee shall not exceed the dues attributable for being a member of the Union. A checkoff authorization card will not be required for the withholding of fair share fees. The Union shall periodically submit to the City a list of employees covered by the Agreement who are not members of the Union. The fair share fee shall not include contributions related to the election or support of any candidate for political office, or for any member only benefit. (b) The Union agreed to assume full responsibility to insure full compliance with the requirements set forth by the United States Supreme Court in Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, 106 U.S. 1066 (1986), with respect to the constitutional rights of fair share payers as well as all applicable provisions of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder relating to fair share fees. It is specifically agreed that any dispute a fair share fee payer may have with the Union concerning the amount of the fair share fee and/or the responsibilities of the Union with respect to fair share payers shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in this Agreement. (c) Non-members who object to this fair share fee based upon bona fide religious tenets or teachings shall direct the Union to pay an amount equal to such fair share fee to a non-religious charitable organization mutually agreed upon by the employee and the Union. If the affected non- 19 8 member and the Union are unable to reach agreement on the organization, the organization shall be selected by the affected non-member from an approved list of charitable organizations established by the Illinois State Labor Relations Board and the payment shall be made to said organization. Section 2.3. Bulletin Board. The City will provide a 3’ x 4’ bulletin board or will make available space on a bulletin board (size – 3’ x 4’) in each of the following locations for the posting of official Union business which is germane to its role as the exclusive bargaining representative and which is not political, defamatory or derogatory in nature; Municipal Center, Public Works Facility, South Wastewater Treatment Plant, and Parks Maintenance garage. The Union will limit the posting of Union business to such bulletin boards. Section 2.4. Union Indemnification. The Union shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City and its officials, representatives and agents against any and all claims, demands, suits or other forms of liability (monetary or otherwise) and for all legal costs that shall arise out of or by reason of action taken or not taken by the City in complying with the provisions of this Article. Section 2.5. Union Officials. The Union shall advise the City Administrator of the names of the Union Stewards. It is expressly understood that the Stewards do not have authority to modify, alter, amend, etc. this collective bargaining agreement.

Normally, up to three (3) persons from each side shall attend these meetings, schedules permitting. 21 10 ARTICLE V HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME Section 5.1. General Provisions. A. Purpose of Article. The sole purpose of this article is to provide a basis for the calculation of straight time and overtime wage rates. The Employer’s pay records, practices, policies and other procedures shall govern the payment of all wages. This Article is intended only as a basis for computing overtime consistent with the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. This Article is not intended to establish a right to compensation in any form for time not worked except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. B. No Pyramiding. Compensation shall not be paid more than once for the same hours under any provision of this Agreement. Section 5.2. Normal Work Period, Workday and Work Schedule. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the current normal work period shall be seven (7) days (normally starting at 12:01 a.m. Monday), and shall include 40 hours of work based on five consecutive 8-hour workdays (which may be scheduled Monday - Saturday) per week. The hours of work shall be 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. from May 1 through September 30 each year. A. Employees shall be granted one fifteen (15) minute paid morning break and a ten (10) minute paid break during the second half of the workday. Employees will take their breaks at their work site or as determined by the Supervisor overseeing the operation. In the event that employees are allowed to leave the work site during break, travel time will be included within the break period. No additional allowance for travel time outside the scope of the break period will be allowed. B. Employees shall be granted a one-half hour unpaid lunch near the midpoint of each day or as determined by the Supervisor overseeing the operation. Employees shall be permitted up to ten (10) minutes of drive/wash time in addition to the half hour lunch period. Additionally, where the requirements of the job dictate that employees work through their lunch period, employees shall be allowed to take their lunch break later in the shift as determined by the Supervisor overseeing the operation. Employees shall be on the work site ready to work up to the beginning of the drive/wash time and at the end of the lunch period. Employees will be allowed reasonable use of City vehicles during their lunch period. The employees shall receive a fifteen (15) minute clean/pick-up time at the end of their shift. Section 5.3. Changes In Normal Work Period, Workday and Work Schedule. The shifts, workdays and hours to which employees are assigned shall be stated on the Departmental work schedule. Should it be necessary in the interest of efficient operations to temporarily alter or reassign the regular and normal workday, work period, work shift or work schedule, absent unexpected circumstances or an emergency, the City shall give at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to the individuals affected by any such change. 22 11 If the City desires to permanently alter the normal scheduling arrangement as set forth in Section 5.2, the City shall (1) inform the Union of any such change thirty (30) days before it is implemented and (2) if requested, allow the Union an opportunity to comment on same through a labor-management meeting in accordance with Article IV. In either case (temporary or permanent) the City shall solicit volunteers and select the most qualified, senior volunteer. If an insufficient number of bargaining unit members volunteer, then the City shall assign the shift according to reverse seniority (least senior first). Section 5.4. Overtime Pay. When an employee works more than forty (40) hours in a 7- day work period, he shall be paid at a rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times his regular straight-time hourly rate of pay for each overtime hour worked beyond forty (40) hours in a 7-day work period. Overtime pay shall be received in fifteen (15) minute segments as provided by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). For purposes of this Article, time worked shall include that time spent on duty as provided by the FLSA, plus any paid leave of absence (vacation, holidays, sick leave, etc.), but shall not include any unpaid leave of absence other than a worker’s compensation leave. All overtime shall be paid on the basis of a regular straight-time hourly rate calculated by dividing an employee’s annual salary by 2080. Section 5.5. Callback Pay. A.A call-back is defined as a work assignment which does not immediately follow an employee’s regularly scheduled working hours. An employee called back to work after having left work shall receive a minimum of two (2) hours pay at overtime rates, unless the individual is called back by his supervisor to rectify his own error. Once the employee completes the task for which he was called back, he shall be released unless additional work arises resulting in additional call-back situations prior to the employee completing the original call-back duties. For the purposes of this section, call-back duties will have concluded after the employee has completed the tasks assigned to the call-back situation and the employee departs from the city’s facilities. B.Employees, who respond to SCADA calls, during non-working hours, will receive a single two-hour call-back minimum per day upon the first occurrence, even if the employee is not required to leave home. Multiple SCADA calls, including nuisance calls, where an employee can respond via telecommunications, computer or internet, will not constitute an additional two-hour call-back minimum. SCADA calls requiring a field response will be handled as any other call-back as specified in paragraph A above and will open a two-hour window that will cover subsequent call- backs. Section 5.6. Required Overtime. The Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or their designee(s) shall have the right to require overtime work and employees may not refuse overtime assignments. Overtime will be assigned as follows: A.In non-emergency situations, the Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or their designee as a general rule shall take reasonable steps to obtain volunteers for 23 12 overtime assignments before assigning required overtime work. However, volunteers will not necessarily be selected for work in progress. Also, specific employees may be selected for assignments based upon specific skills, ability and experience they possess. Bargaining unit will be offered overtime before asking non-bargaining unit individuals to work. This will not affect the use of summer help. The Director Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or their designee will endeavor to equalize overtime opportunities among employees who share the same general duties and work schedule each calendar year. Each month, the City shall post a listing indicating the number of overtime hours an employee has worked. B. In the event of a non-snow or ice control emergency which occurs on a weekend, holiday or after the end of a normal shift, overtime opportunities will be offered on the basis of seniority until the required number of employees accept the overtime assignment. If the required number of employees do not accept the overtime assignment on a voluntary seniority-based basis, the assignment becomes a mandatory overtime assignment. Mandatory overtime assignments will then be filled on the basis of reverse seniority. In the event of a callout, supervisors will begin the callout in the Street Department at the point where the assignment was filled in the prior callout. C. For snow and ice control emergencies, overtime assignments will be based on two pre-scheduled shifts. Unit members will be assigned to one of the two shifts prior to the snow removal season using the reverse seniority process. During a snow or ice control event falling on a Saturday, Sunday, holiday, before a normal work day begins or after it ends, the Supervisor will notify the employees as they are needed for the mandatory shift. If the employee does not arrive at the City garage within thirty (30) minutes, they will not be paid from the time they were called, but rather from the time they arrive at work, but in no event shall the response time take longer than one (1) hour. Section 5.7. Minimum and Maximum Hours. Absent a mutual agreement between the City and Union to the contrary, the employees shall be provided a 40-hour work week. This 40 hours shall include all actual work time plus all paid and unpaid leaves of absence. Except in extreme emergency or by mutual agreement with the employee, no employee shall be required to work more than sixteen (16) hours in a twenty-four hour period. No employee shall be required to drive a vehicle requiring a commercial driver’s license (CDL) for more than twelve (12) consecutive hours. Individual bargaining unit members will track their hours worked with in a twenty-four hour period and will notify their supervisor if they have worked sixteen (16) hours in a twenty-four hour period. Section 5.8. Compensatory Time. Where requested by the affected employee and agreed to by the Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation, Director of the Department or their designee, the City shall grant compensatory time for all overtime hours worked, up to a maximum of forty-eight (48) hours of compensatory time per employee in any given calendar year. An employee may carry up to twenty-four (24) hours of compensatory time into the following calendar year. All other unused compensatory time will be paid out at the end of the calendar year at the employee’s then current straight-time rate of pay. Employees requesting the use of 24 13 compensatory time shall submit the request two (2) days in advance of the time-off requested. Compensatory time off shall be taken at such times and in such time blocks as are established or agreed to by the Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or their designee. An employee who utilizes four (4) hours of compensatory time (or personal business leave as set forth in Section 9.4) on a Friday afternoon or a Monday morning will not be required to work on the contiguous Saturday or Sunday, except during snow removal season as stated in section 10.3. Section 5.9. On-Call Pay. Employees on-call according to the on-call rotation in the Streets, Utility, Wastewater and Water Divisions of Public Works and in the Parks Maintenance Division of the Parks and Recreation Department shall receive four (4) hours time-off (at straight pay) for every week they are scheduled to be on-call. This on-call time-off must be used within thirty (30) days after the call period ends. The four (4) hours on-call time-off shall constitute the sole compensation attributable to being on-call for the week. The provisions of this Section are not applicable to snow removal duties. During snow removal months (December 1st through March 31st), bargaining unit employees may request to use on-call time-off on a Friday or Monday if the maximum number of persons who will be permitted to be on vacation at any time has not been reached pursuant to Section 10.3. The granting or denial of on-call time-off shall be up to the City Administrator, Department Head, or supervisor. On-call time-off requests must be made no later than noon on the day preceding the requested time-off. If an employee fails to report when directed or cannot be reached within a reasonable amount of time when on-call, the employee will lose the supplemental on-call time-off provided by this Section for the on-call period and may be subject to appropriate discipline. ARTICLE VI SENIORITY, LAYOFF RECALL, AND JOB POSTING Section 6.1. Definition of Seniority. For purposes of this Agreement, seniority shall be defined as an employee’s length of continuous service from the last date of beginning continuous full-time employment in a position covered by this Agreement. Seniority shall accumulate during all authorized paid leaves of absence and during authorized unpaid leaves of absence, suspensions or lay offs of thirty (30) days or less. Seniority shall not accumulate from the first day of an authorized unpaid leave of absence, suspension or lay off of thirty (30) calendar days or more. Conflicts of seniority shall be determined on the basis of the alphabetical order of the employee’s last name. Section 6.2. Probationary Period. All new employees and those hired after loss of seniority shall be considered probationary employees until they have completed a probationary period of nine (9) months of work. The probationary period may be extended up to three (3) months by the Director of Public Works or the Director of Parks and Recreation. Should the Director of Public Works or the Director of Parks and Recreation determine to extend the probation of an employee, he shall provide a written notice to the employee of the extension and the reasons for the 25 14 extension. Time absent from duty or not served for any reason (such as, including but not limited to, unpaid leave of absence (including duty-related injury or illness), jury duty, military leave, etc.) shall not apply toward satisfaction of the probationary period, except for holidays, vacation and paid sick leave. Probationary employees shall be entitled to all rights, privileges and benefits provided for in this Agreement, except that during an employee’s probationary period, the employee may be terminated without cause. Such probationary employee shall have no recourse to the grievance procedure to contest a layoff, termination or extension of probation. Furthermore, there shall be no seniority among probationary employees for purpose of layoffs. Upon successful completion of the probationary period, an employee shall acquire seniority which shall be retroactive to his last date of hire with the City in a position covered by this Agreement. Section 6.3. Seniority List. On or about November 15 of each year, the City will provide the Union with a seniority list of all employees in the bargaining until setting forth each employee’s seniority date and job classification. The City shall not be responsible for any errors in the seniority list unless such errors are brought to the attention of the City in writing within fourteen (14) days after the Union’s receipt of the list. Upon requesting in writing to the Director of Public Works, an updated seniority list will be provided to the Union during the course of the year. Section 6.4. Layoff. The City, in its discretion, shall determine whether layoffs are necessary. If it is determined that layoffs are necessary, employees covered by this Agreement in the affected job classification(s) will be laid off in accordance with their length of service, provided, however, that (1) probationary employees shall be selected for layoff based on relative skill and ability as determined by the Director of Public Works or the Director of Parks and Recreation and not based on their seniority, and (2) the remaining employees must be qualified to do the remaining work without further training. If a non-probationary employee is laid off from their job classification, he may bump another less senior employee in an equal or lower-rated job classification in the bargaining unit if the City determines in its sole judgment that the employee to be bumped does not have greater skill and ability to carry out the duties of his job than the more senior employee. In the event a non-probationary employee is laid off pursuant to this Section 6.4 ahead of a probationary employee who possesses skills or qualifications not possessed by any non- probationary employee, said non-probationary employee(s) shall be given an additional six (6) months (up to a total of twenty-four (24) months) for purposes of recall pursuant to Section 6.5. Section 6.5. Recall. Employees (including probationary employees) who are laid off shall be placed on a recall list, in the reverse order of their layoff, for a period of eighteen (18) months. If there is a recall, employees who are still on the recall list shall be recalled, in the inverse order of their layoff, provided they meet the City’s medical, physical fitness, and mental standards and are fully qualified to perform the work to which they are recalled without further training. An employee who is recalled and fails to meet such standards at the time of recall shall be passed over and returned to the top of the recall list; such an employee will be eligible for a second recall for a future vacancy so long as he remains on the recall list. An employee’s seniority will be terminated if he fails such standards upon a second recall. 26 15 Employees who are eligible for recall shall be given at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice of recall (with the first of the fourteen (14) days being the date the notice to the employee is postmarked). The notice of recall shall be sent to the employee by certified mail, return receipt requested, with a copy similarly mailed or personally delivered to a designated representative of the Union. The employee must notify the Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or his designee of his intention to return to work within three (3) calendar days after receiving notice of recall (but in no event later than fourteen (14) days from the date of postmark of the notice of recall). The City shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations by mailing the recall notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the mailing address last provided by the employee, it being the obligation and responsibility of each employee to provide the Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or his designee with his latest mailing address. If an employee fails to timely respond to a recall notice or if an employee either declines the recall or does not report to work as scheduled, his name shall be removed from the recall list. If the City has not heard from the employee within fourteen (14) calendar days of mailing a properly addressed notice of recall, or if the notice is returned as undeliverable by the United States Postal Service, whichever occurs first, the employee’s name shall be removed from the recall list. Section 6.6. Termination of Seniority. Seniority for all purposes and the employment relationship shall be terminated if the employee: (a) quits; (b) is discharged; (c) retires or is retired; (d) falsifies the reason for a leave of absence or is found to be working during a leave of absence without prior written approval of the Director of Public Works or the Director of Parks and Recreation. (e) fails to report to work at the conclusion of an authorized leave of absence, layoff or vacation; (f) is laid off and fails to respond to a notice of recall within three (3) calendar days after receiving notice of recall or to report for work at the time prescribed in the notice of recall or otherwise does not timely respond to a notice of recall as provided in Section 6.5 of this Agreement; (g) is laid off or otherwise does not perform bargaining unit work for the City for a period in excess of twelve (12) months; or (h) is absent for three (3) consecutive working days without notification to or authorization from the City, except for good cause shown due to circumstances beyond the control of the employee. 27 16 Section 6.7. Job Posting. The City will post, on the Union bulletin boards all city job openings. Union openings will not be filled until seven days after posting. ARTICLE VII GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE Section 7.1.

No grievance shall be entertained or processed unless it is submitted at Step 1 within fourteen (14) calendar days after the employee or Union through the use of reasonable diligence, could have obtained knowledge of the occurrence of the first event giving rise to the grievance. If a grievance is not presented by the employee within the time limits set forth above, it shall be considered “waived” and cannot be pursued further. If a grievance is not appealed to the next step within the specified time limit or any agreed extension thereof, it shall be considered settled on the basis of the City’s last answer.

Section 8.2. Violations of This Article. Any or all employees who violate any of the provisions of this Article may be discharged or otherwise disciplined by the City, and the only issue that may be raised in any proceeding in which such discipline or discharge is challenged is whether or not he employee actually engaged in such prohibited conduct. Such discipline may include any, some or all of the employees involved. The failure to confer a penalty in any instance is not a waiver of such right in any instance nor is it a precedent. Any disciplinary action taken by the City for employee activities prohibited by this Article shall not be considered a violation of this Agreement and shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures of this Agreement. Section 8.3. Union Notification of Employees.

Eligibility Requirements. Employees shall work all holidays when scheduled as part of their normal Departmental work schedule. To be eligible to receive pay in recognition of a holiday, an employee must work the full scheduled day before and after the holiday, in addition to the full holiday when scheduled as part of their normal Departmental work schedule. The Director of Public Works or the Director of Parks and Recreation in his discretion may permit an employee who was ill to verify his illness so as to qualify for holiday pay, and such qualification will not be unreasonable withheld.

Personal business leave requests shall be made with as much advance notice as possible. The Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or his designee may approve or deny such requests, but such approval shall not be unreasonably denied. In a case where a denial has occurred, the employee may advance the request with his/her union steward to the next level of management. Under no circumstances will such requests be approved if, at the time of the request, 32 21 the absence, in the judgment of the Director of Public Works or the Director of Parks and Recreation, would cause another employee to be held over or called back to work. ARTICLE X VACATIONS Section 10.1. Eligibility and Allowance. Every employee shall be eligible to take paid vacation time after the completion of one (1) year of continuous full-time employment with the City in a position covered by this Agreement. Employees shall start to earn vacation allowance as of their date of hire. Vacation allowances shall be earned monthly, based on the following schedule: Length of Completed Number of 8-Hour Work Continuous Service Days (Hours) Per Year After completion of one (1) year 10 days (80 hours) After completion of six (6) years 15 days (120 hours) After completion of thirteen (13) years 20 days (160 hours) After completion of twenty (20) years 25 days (200 hours) Employees shall earn vacation allowances for any month in which they receive compensation for more than one hundred twenty (120) “hours of work.” For purpose of this section only, actual work time plus paid vacations, compensatory time, sick time and personal days shall be considered “hours of work”; no other paid or unpaid absence from duty shall be counted as “hours of work.” Section 10.2. Vacation Pay. The rate of vacation pay shall be the employee’s regular straight-time rate of pay in effect for the employee’s regular job assignment. Section 10.3. Scheduling and Accrual. Bargaining unit employees shall be awarded vacation time by the City in accordance with City service needs and, if possible, the employee’s desires. On or before November 1st, the employer will post anticipated, accrued vacation time for each employee for the following calendar year (as of January 1st). On or before November 1st, the Director of the Department or his designee shall post a schedule of days available for vacation during the upcoming calendar year. The bargaining unit employees shall then select their vacation preferences in the order of their seniority, with the most senior employee having first choice, the next most senior having second choice, and so on. Bargaining unit employees must make an initial first choice vacation selection of no more than two calendar weeks (to be taken in amounts of no less than one week), consecutive or separate, if eligible, during the initial sign up. After the initial sign- up, bargaining unit employees may be required to schedule any other vacation days in half-day increments on a first-come first served basis. The Director of the Department may limit the number of employees who will be allowed to take vacation at any one time. The vacation periods requested pursuant to this procedure shall be submitted to the Director of the Department or his designee for approval no later than December 1st of each year. The 33 22 Department Director or his designee shall review the requests and post a vacation schedule on or before January 1st. If a designee denies a vacation request, the employee can appeal the denial to the Director of the Department, whose approval of a request shall not be unreasonably withheld. After the vacation schedule has been posted, employees can, with two (2) workday advanced request, trade or reschedule vacation days, only with the approval of the Department Director or his designee. Employees can request to schedule additional vacation days after the vacation schedule has been posted with two (2) days advanced notice only with the approval of the Department Director or his designee. The employee requesting the addition or modification to vacation leave will be notified of the approval or denial of such as soon as a decision has been made but in no case less than twenty- four (24) hours prior to the requested vacation time. Vacation allowances are earned on a calendar year basis with the following exceptions. First, new hires will not receive vacation time until the anniversary of their first year of employment, upon which they will receive ten shifts of vacation time (provided they meet the requirements of Section10.1) which must be used prior to the end of the calendar year. Beginning the following January 1 and every January 1 thereafter, such employees will receive the vacation time they accrued during the prior calendar year for use in the calendar year in which they are given. Second, on an employee’s anniversary date of employment in a year (after his first) in which he becomes eligible to earn additional vacation time (the employee’s sixth, thirteenth, and twentieth anniversaries), the employee will receive the additional time on his anniversary for use during the remainder of the calendar year. On the following January 1, the employee will receive the vacation time he accrued during the prior calendar year based upon the new rate of vacation accrual. Vacations to be scheduled and taken during a given calendar year are vacation allowances earned during the previous calendar year or provided the employee on his anniversary date of employment for use during the remainder of the calendar year. Employees are encouraged to utilize their accrued vacation time within a year from the time it is posted. However, a maximum of five (5) days may be carried over into the following calendar year. The period of time from November 15th through March 31st is considered “snow removal months.” During snow removal months, the maximum number of persons who will be permitted to be on vacation, compensatory time, or personal time at any one time shall be as follows: Division Maximum Street One Waste Water One Water One Utility One Parks One Should an employee who is considered a primary driver during the snow removal months take vacation, compensatory, or personal leave during the snow removal months, the City shall have the right to assign a replacement primary driver. If an employee signs the Employee Absence 34 23 Request and agrees to be available for snowplowing for the contiguous hours of the request, at the supervisor’s sole discretion, additional employees may be granted requested time off. The Director of the Department or his designee reserves the right to cancel any or all approved vacation leaves in advance of their being taken and/or recall any employees from vacations in progress. Such cancellations and revocations shall not be unreasonable. An employee’s vacation shall be considered to commence at the conclusion of his last scheduled pre-vacation workday, and will end at the start of the first scheduled post-vacation workday. During the “snow removal months” an employee must use four (8) hours of vacation, compensatory or personal time on a Friday or Monday to receive contiguous time off through the weekend, only a total of three (3) Street Division employees may utilize contiguous time per weekend during snow removal months. The parties agree to reopen the contract for the purposes of renegotiating Section 10.3 if staffing problems arise during the 2021-2022 snow season. ARTICLE XI SICK LEAVE Section 11.1. Purpose and Allowance. Sick leave with pay is provided as a benefit in recognition that employees and their immediate family members do contract various illnesses from time-to-time and that their financial resources may be diminished in such instances if pay is discontinued, and that it may not be in the best interest or health of the employee or fellow employees to work while sick. Any employee contracting or incurring any non-service connected sickness or disability (except where the injury or illness is incurred while the employee is performing compensated service outside of his employment with the City where compensation for such injury or illness is provided by the outside employer, i.e., workers’ compensation, sick leave, etc.) or for the illness of an immediate family member shall receive sick leave with pay as set forth in this Article. The City, at its discretion, may require an employee to produce a physician’s verification of illness as specified in Section 11.4 for the illness of the employee or the illness of a family member. Section 11.2. Days Earned in Accumulation. Employees shall be allowed one day of sick leave for each month of service (which equals a total accumulation of twelve workdays per year). Sick leave shall be earned by an employee for any month in which the employee is compensated for more than eighty (80) “hours of work.” For purposes of this section only, actual work time plus paid vacations, personal days, use of sick time, workers compensation status and FMLA time (while in pay status) is actual “hours of work”; no other paid or unpaid absence from duty shall be counted as “hours of work.” Sick leave cannot be taken before it is actually earned. Section 11.3. Notification. Notification of absence due to sickness shall be given to an individual designated by the Director of Public Works or Director of Parks and Recreation (normally the employee’s Superintendent) as soon as possible on the first day of such absence and every day 35 24 thereafter (unless this requirement is waived by the Director of Public Works in writing), but no later than the start of the employee’s work shift. Failure to properly report an illness without good cause may be considered as absence without pay and may subject the employee to discipline. Section 11.4. Medical Examination. The City may, at its discretion, require an employee to submit a physician’s verification of illness, and such verification normally will be required for sick leave of three (3) consecutive duty shifts or more. The City also may require a physician’s verification that the employee is well enough to return to work. Falsification of any verification of illness shall be grounds to subject the employee to disciplinary action, which may include reimbursement by the employee to the City for sick leave benefits wrongfully obtained. The City, at its option, may require an employee to submit to an examination by a physician or other medical professional chosen by the City; if the City requires an employee to submit to an examination by a physician designated by the City, the City will pay the expenses to the extent they are not covered by insurance (i.e., the employee shall not be responsible for such costs). Section 11.5. Sick Leave Utilization. Sick leave shall be used in no less than one hour increments. Sick leave may be utilized only for the purposes specified in Section 11.1. For purposes of Section 11.6(b), sick leave may accrue to a maximum of 800 hours (the equivalent of one hundred (100) eight-hour shifts) of sick leave as of the end of each fiscal year. There shall be no maximum accumulation or cap on sick days for use in accordance with Section 11.1. To the extent permitted by law, employees on sick leave are required to remain at home unless hospitalized, visiting their doctor, or acting pursuant to reasonable instructions for care. Section 11.6. Unused Sick Leave. (a) An employee who has used less than (3) sick days during any calendar year may elect to receive a sick leave cash payment for the difference between three days and the number of sick leave days actually used (3 days maximum). The number of days for which such employee elects cash compensation shall be deducted from such employee’s accumulated sick leave. (b) An employee (i) who has been placed on permanent disability pension, or (ii) who has at least twelve (12) years of service on the Department as a full-time employee, is eligible to retire and who elects to retire, or (iii) who dies while still employed after twelve (12) years of service shall be paid (or their designated beneficiary shall be paid) for unused sick leave days at the rate of fifty percent (50%) of his regular rate of pay in effect on the 1st day of May immediately preceding his last day of active work for the City for all accrued and unused sick leave time as of his last day of active work for the City, up to a maximum of eight hundred (800) hours (100 days), provided the employee has accumulated at least forty days (320 hours) of unused sick leave. In other words, the employee retiring or dying with at least forty days of sick leave will be paid fifty percent (50%) for all sick leave hours up to eight hundred (800), for a maximum of four hundred (400) hours of pay. In no event shall any employee be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 12.6(b) if the employee is discharged. 36 25 ARTICLE XII ADDITIONAL LEAVES OF ABSENCE Section 12.1. Unpaid Discretionary Leaves. The City may grant leaves of absence, without pay or salary, to employees for job-related reasons (such as further training or study), which will enable employees to perform their usual and customary duties with greater efficiency and expertise, or other valid reasons (such as prolonged illness of the employee, his spouse, or his child or children or childbirth).

The denial of discretionary leaves shall not be subject to the dispute resolution and grievance procedure of this Agreement. Section 12.2. Military Leave. Military leave shall be granted in accordance with applicable law. Employees must apply for such leave as soon as they are aware of the need for such leave. Section 12.3. Funeral Leave.

For purposes of this Section, immediate family shall include only the following persons related by blood, marriage or law to the employee; parents, spouse, children, siblings, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, spouse’s child, spouse’s grandparent, grandparents, and grandchildren. In the event of the death of an extended family member, an employee may be permitted to be absent from his job for one(1) workday with the City’s approval and receive regular straight-time pay.

Any absence to attend the funeral of anyone who is not a member of an employee’s immediate or extended family may be arranged with the City, without pay, but previously accrued and unused vacation leave may be utilized in such case with the consent of the City. An employee shall provide satisfactory evidence of the death and the employee’s attendance at the funeral if so requested by the City. At the City’s discretion, an employee may be permitted to use accrued sick leave up to a maximum of five (5) additional days, in connection with funeral leave days to extend funeral leave. Section 12.4. Jury Leave. An employee required to report for jury duty (including service on a grand jury) shall be excused from work without loss of pay for jury duty which occurs on the employee’s scheduled duty days and during the employee’s scheduled duty hours. An employee shall immediately notify the Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or his designee as soon as he receives a notice to appear as a juror, and must provide the Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation or his designee with a copy of the jury summons prior to reporting for jury duty. In order for employees to receive compensation from the City for such jury duty, the employee must sign over to the City any compensation he receives for serving as a juror on days for which he was scheduled to be on duty, provided the employee may keep travel reimbursement he receives from the court for jury duty. 37 26 Section 12.5.

The request shall state the reason for the leave of absence and the approximate length of time off the employee desires. Authorization for a leave of absence, if granted, will be furnished to the employee and Union by the City and it shall be in writing. Section 12.7. Benefits While on Unpaid Discretionary Leave. (a) Unless otherwise required by law, and consistent with Sections 6.1, 10.1, and 11.2, length of service and other benefits shall not accrue for an employee who is on a worker’s compensation leave or other approved unpaid leave. Accumulated length of service shall remain in place during that leave and shall begin to accrue again when the employee returns to work on a pay status. Upon return from leave the City shall place the employee in his or her previous assignment, if vacant. If not vacant, an employee returning from leave will be placed in the first available assignment according to the employee’s seniority, where skill and ability to perform the work without additional training is equal.

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT DATE: October 4, 2021 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Troy Strange, Director of Public Works RE: 2022 Surface Transportation Program Project Locations ATT: Quality Based Selection Policy State and Federal Funding Quality Based Selection Policy Local Funding Bureau of Local Roads Manual, Chapter 5 Excerpt (Engineering Agreements) AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Public Works Staff requests that the City Council consider the approval of Quality Based Selection Policies for Professional Engineering Services for both state and federally funded projects as well as locally funded projects. BACKGROUND: Professional engineering services are utilized for a number of projects and disciplines of engineering work and are utilized by City staff on a frequent basis. These services are provided by private engineering firms who specialize in various types of work. Historically, up until 2016, the City of McHenry “sole-sourced” its engineering work to a single firm that was appointed as the City Engineer. Beginning in 2016, the City of McHenry began developing processes which would allow for the utilization and consideration of multiple firms for City engineering projects. These efforts culminated with the development of a prequalified pool of engineering firms, from which staff would be able to select at times on a cost basis through an exercise of the City’s Home Rule Authority. This prequalification was enacted and made effective for a period of five yea rs. As this five-year period has now lapsed, staff has developed a new Locally Funded Quality Based Selection Policy which has been refined based upon staff’s experience with the previous prequalification process. Additionally, staff has developed a Quality Based Selection Policy specifically for state and federally funded projects. Approved consultant selection policies and procedures which are consistent with the requirement of the Brooks Act are now a requirement of Illinois Department of Transportation for utilization such funding. 50 The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. Locally Funded Quality Based Selection Policy The Locally Funded Quality Based Selection policy is an update to the process for consultant selection for all locally funded work which is not subject to the requirements of the Brooks Act due to the City’s status as a Home Rule Community. Whereas projects would typically either be subject to the Brooks Act or the Illinois Local Government Professional Services Selection act, the City’s status as a Home Rule Community allows it to set separate selection procedures and to work with smaller pools of firms rather than go through a public advertisement process for each project. Staff has updated the previous local processes based upon experience from the last time the City prequalified engineering consultants. The most significant changes are to the number of firms prequalified, the categories in which they are prequalified, and the contract terms under which each prequalified consultant performs assigned tasks. In the past prequalification, two pools of consultants were prequalified, one pool of five firms was prequalified for water and sewer relate d work, and one pool of five firms was prequalified for transportation related work. Staff is recommending the creation of one pool of a minimum of four firms, with no maximum number of firms for general municipal engineering services. The other significant change adjusts the terms of the engineering agreement under which firms perform assigned tasks. In the past, firms were selected on an individual project basis and executed the City’s Engineering Services Agreement individually for each project. This contract governed only the projects which were awarded on an individual basis , but any small task orders or development review work were governed by agreements provided by the individual firm. Staff are recommending that the contract terms be changed suc h that each prequalified firm adopts a City master general services agreement, and then individual projects and small tasks will be assigned with the understanding that each project or task is performed under the terms of the general services agreement; this will streamline the award process and provide assurance that any small tasks or development review work will also be governed by the City’s agreement. Federally and State Funded Quality Based Selection Policy Whenever an engineering project which utilizes State or Federal Funding is undertaken, the project is subject to the requirements of the Brooks Act which requires a non -cost-based, but quality-based selection process to be utilized, which includes public advertisement, specified ranking criteria, and negotiations on cost after a firm has been selected. Staff have adhered to these requirements for the past several years for all projects of such type. However, the Illinois Department of Transportation now requires not just adherence to the Brooks Act , but the adoption and approval of selection policies. The requirements of the Illinois Department of Transportation Bureau of Local Roads for QBS policies are included in the attached excerpt from the Bureau of Local Roads Manual and staff has modeled the proposed policy from the manual recommendations. ANALYSIS: The attached policies are consistent with the City’s legal and statutory responsibilities and authority, with regard to consultant selection. Staff has worked with the City Attorney in the development of these policies, which are recommended for approval. 51 The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if City Council concurs, it is recommended to make a separate motion to approve each of the following policies: • QBS Policy – Locally Funded • QBS Policy – Federal Funded and State Funded 52 1 The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer -oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. QUALIFICATIONS BASED SELECTION (QBS) PROCUREMENT POLICY – STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDED PROJECTS CITY OF MCHENRY OCTOBER 4, 2021 The CITY OF MCHENRY is in need of professional design, engineering, planning and surveying services for various construction projects. The selected design will influence the entire course of the project, economy, feasibility, function, efficiency, construction costs, operating costs and maintenance costs during the life of the improvement. Therefore, it is very important that the public officials select the most qualified professional design firm. A Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) procedure facilitates professional design firm selection, based on qualifications and competence, in relation to the scope and needs of a particular project. The QBS process is required when the CITY OF MCHENRY receives funding from either the State of Illinois or the federal government, each of which have slightly different requirements. As such, the CITY OF MCHENRY’s specific policy for the QBS process is divided into two distinct procedures based on the funding mechanism for the design services and is intended to be compliant with the requirements in Section 5-5 for Engineering Agreements in the IDOT Bureau of Local Roads and Streets (BLRS) Manual. As guidance for the application of this these procedures, the CITY OF MCHENRY adopts and incorporates BLRS Manual Figure 5 -5A, Requirements for QBS. STATE FUNDED DESIGN SERVICES The CITY OF MCHENRY shall use the following QBS process for contracts over $40,000 in accordance with 50 ILCS 510 for any State, MFT or TBP funded engineering and professional services. 1. Define the Project – The CITY OF MCHENRY will clearly define the scope of services desired and will include the following: a. Description in general terms of the need, purpose and objective of the project; b. Identify the various project components; c. Establish the desired timetable for the effort; d. Identify any expected problems; and e. Determine the total project budget. 2. Public Notice, Evaluation and Selection – In accordance with IDOT’s QBS requirements, the state funded process steps for Public Notice, Evaluation and Selection will be omitted if the Public Works Director determines that the CITY OF MCHENRY has a satisfactory working relationship with a qualified consultant and the engineering services contract is not being paid for using federal funds. If a satisfactory relationship does not exist, then the Public Notice, Selection and Evaluation shall be performed in accordance with IDOT’s BLRS Manual Section 5-5.06(c). 3. Contract Negotiation – The CITY OF MCHENRY will prepare a written scope of services to be used as the basis for the negotiations, taking into account the estimated value, scope, complexity, and professional nature of the services to be rendered. The CITY OF MCHENRY shall negotiate a contract with the highest qualified consultant at compensation that the CITY OF MCHENRY determines in writing to be fair and reasonable. The negotiation shall include refinement, amendment , and a 53 2 The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer -oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. complete definition of the services to be rendered. Special elements of the engineering portion of the project to be established during negotiation include: a. Project schedule; b. Manpower requirement and timing; c. Level of engineering effort; d. Avenues of research, and; e. Areas of responsibility/liability 3.1 Percentage Fee Contracts. Any percentage fee contract shall be fully supported by an acceptable estimate of man-hours, anticipated hourly payroll rates by classification of employee for the project, and applicable overhead and burden rates. These rates will be evaluated by the CITY OF MCHENRY and, if determined to be acceptable, the CITY may submit the percentage fee to IDOT for approval. 3.2 The consultant’s method of dividing the project into work units and calculating related time units are to be such that the estimate can be readily reviewed. The consultant w ill use its own estimates of man-hours, rates of pay, overhead, profit, and itemized non-salary costs based on the consultant’s work force and past job experience. 3.3 When the prime consultant requires the services of another consultant to provide expertise, advice, or information to the prime consultant, the prime consultant will complete an analysis of fee for engineering services (including a breakdown of direct salary and direct non - salary costs), or supply specific rate for services (e.g. testing). The prime consultant is responsible for ensuring that Disadvantage Business Enterprises (DBE’s) will have an equitable opportunity to complete for subcontracts. 3.4 Contracts between CITY OF MCHENRY and consultants must be set forth in fully executed agreements. If an agreement cannot be reached on the scope and fee, the CITY OF MCHENRY may discontinue negotiations with the top-ranked consultant and continue the procurement process with the second ranked consultant or with another consultant that the CITY OF MCHENRY has a satisfactory working relationship. 4. Summary – Ranking and negotiations involve a considerable amount of subjective judgement. Engineering projects involve a large expenditure of public funds, accountability for decisions, and value judgments, most importantly, to ensure adequate accountability: a. Involve more than one knowledgeable person in the evaluation process; b. Be consistent in reviewing each applicant; and c. Keep accurate and complete records of all correspondence, memoranda, evaluations, and decisions. The primary purpose of undertaking the QBS process is to locate the most qualified consultant to do the work and negotiate a fair and equitable agreement. Federal and Illinois law prohibits selecting consultants based on cost for any project exceeding $40,000. The selection shall be based on the consultant’s experience and expertise in projects of the same type as proposed. 54 3 The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer -oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.

QUALIFICATIONS BASED SELECTION (QBS) PROCUREMENT POLICY – LOCALLY FUNDED PROJECTS CITY OF MCHENRY OCTOBER 4, 2021 The City of McHenry is in need of professional design, engineering, planning and surveying services for various construction projects. The selected design will influence the entire course of the project, economy, feasibility, function, efficiency, construction costs, operating costs and maintenance costs during the life of the improvement. Therefore, it is very important that the public officials select the most qualified professional design firm. A Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) is a procedure that faci litates the selection of professional design firms. The selection is based on qualifications and competence in relation to the scope and needs of a particular project. LOCALY FUNDED DESIGN SERVICES The CITY OF MCHENRY has an ongoing need for various engineering design, planning, and construction services. In order to contract with qualified consultants, promote competition and obtain design services at a fair and reasonable cost, the CITY OF MCHENRY will implement the following QBS process as an exercise of our home-rule authority. The intent of this process is to develop a pool of pre-qualified consultants with various areas of expertise, the CITY OF MCHENRY may contract with to perform various design tasks and develop a satisfactory working relationship. The QBS process to obtain the pool of consultants should be performed every four (4) years. 1. Define Scope of Services – The CITY OF MCHENRY staff will define the anticipated scope of services that may be needed. The scope of services will be general municipal services since there is no defined project. 2. Public Notice – The CITY OF MCHENRY will advertise for the QBS process on the City website and solicit Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) from interested firms. An advertisement in the local newspaper will be performed at the discretion of the Public Works Director. 3. Evaluation – The CITY OF MCHENRY will establish a committee with a minimum of three (3) staff members including and selected by the Public Works Director. The committee will establish criteria for the evaluation, independently evaluate each SOQ, and then meet collectively to review and refine the ranking. A minimum of four (4) firms will be 58 selected for the pool of selected firms that the CITY OF MCHENRY will contract with over the term of the pre-qualification. 4. Selection – The selected firms will be presented to City Council for approval by resolution. All of the firms approved by City Council will become part of the City’s list of pre-qualified engineering firms. 5. Negotiation of Contract and Project Specific Tasks – The selected firms will submit a rate sheet for their firm’s staff with their title and hourly billing rate. The Public Works Director will review to determine if the rates are acceptable and customary. An annual increase in hourly rates from year-to-year will also be defined. The selected firms and the CITY OF MCHENRY will then enter into the City’s standard professional Services Contract. After the pre-qualified firms and the CITY OF MCHENRY have entered into the professional services contract, C ity staff will select the most appropriate firm to provide design or consulting services under the terms of the contract. For project specific tasks over $25,000, a defined scope of work and fee (either lump sum or time and material) will be developed by the firm, reviewed by the Public Works Director and approved by City Council. 6. Miscellaneous Services from Non Pre-Qualified Firms – In addition to the design services from pre-qualified firms, the CITY OF MCHENRY will need additional smaller services from other qualified firms with contract values under $25,000. For these tasks the selection will be based on the qualification of the firm and not the cost. The services include, but are not limited to, surveying, materials testing, environmental studies, and wetland consulting. For these tasks, the Public Works Director will obtain a proposal from a qualified firm and a purchase order will be issued with the approval of the Public Works Director and City Administrator (if less than $25,000). The CITY OF MCHENRY shall also have the ability to contract with a firm outside of the pre-qualified pool of firms with the recommendation of the Public Works Director and the approval of the City Council by resolution. 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 Department of Public Works Troy Strange, Director of Public Works 1415 Industrial Drive McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2186 Fax: (815) 363-2214 www.cityofmchenry.org The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT DATE: October 4, 2021 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Troy Strange, Director of Public Works RE: 2022 Surface Transportation Program Project Locations ATT: Attachment A, EOPC for Recommended Program Candidates Attachment B, STP Eligible Route Scoring Projections Project Location Maps AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Staff requests the City Council to accept Staff’s recommendation for project candidates for application submittal to the 2022 McHenry County Council of Mayors Surface Transportation Program in the call for projects. BACKGROUND: The Surface Transportation Program (STP) is a source of federal funding by which local agencies including municipalities are able to fund maintenance and improvements of municipally maintained federal aid routes. The McHenry County Council of Mayors and Illinois Department of Transportation act as the liaison to local agencies with regard to the distribution of federal funding on local federal aid routes. In years past, STP projects have included the Crystal Lake Road Project, Bull Valley Road, and Curran Road Intersection Improvements. The program has also included the Pearl Street and Lincoln Road Improvements , which were completed in 2019. The STP projects selected in previous years were larger, non-resurfacing projects, which required significant local matches, more complex engineering work, and longer project development schedules. Because of the City’s dire need for resurfacing and maintenance of existing City streets, staff changed their approach for the STP program and began to focus on “resurfacing- only” projects which were more cost efficient. In the 2020 STP call for projects, two City of McHenry projects were selected for funding and are currently programmed to be completed within the next few years. Green Street is scheduled to be resurfaced in 2023 and Bull Valley Road is scheduled to be resurfaced in 2024. 97 The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. Staff has prepared a spreadsheet of all STP eligible streets and developed an STP project candidate scoring projection to determine the best candidates for the 2022 call for projects. As there is currently no need for the construction of new alignments, intersection improvements, or channelization improvements staff are again focusing on “resurfacing-only” projects. ANALYSIS: Based upon staff prepared scoring projections, the following two projects scored the highest, are most financially feasible, and can be completed on an acceptable schedule. The following locations will be submitted for application to the 2022 McHenry County Council of Mayors Surface Transportation Program in the call for projects pending City Council approval: • Barreville Road (McHenry Corporate Limit to Charles J. Miller Road) • Riverside Drive (Pearl Street to McHenry Corporate Limit) Preliminary Engineer’s Estimate of Costs have been prepared for each projection location and have been provided for Council’s information. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if City Council concurs, it is recommended to allow staff to submit the identified Surface Transportation Program candidates for application to the 2022 McHenry County Council of Mayors Surface Transportation Program call for projects. 98 SCHEDULE I ‐ BARREVILLE ROAD (CONSTRUCTION ONLY) ‐ 7,400 LF (centerline) ‐ 24'E‐E No. Item Quantity Unit Unit Price Extension 1

They are requesting use of the space and city assistance for minor set up items to host the event on October 23, 2021 from 3pm – 8pm. The event would include music, food, alcohol, artisans/crafters and trunk or treat style event. BACKGROUND: The inaugural “Full Moon Harvest Festival” event would be similar to the recently hosted “Light the Night” event. The event would be hosted in the late afternoon into the early evening culminating with the city lighting the fire globes as we normally would on a Saturday evening. The event would include approximately 16 artisans/crafters that would be set-up in the parking lot. Three to Four food vendors would also be in the parking lot. Organizers would partner with All Marine Retro Rentals who currently holds a liquor license for this site. They would have beer and wine available for purchase and are also request participants be able to navigate the park with their drinks as opposed to being restricted to one area. In another part of the parking lot would be the designated kid’s area with face painting and a trunk or treat style event where kids would be encouraged to dress up in costumes and visit the stations. There will be two music acts for the event. All events are will be completed by 7pm and the anticipated attendance for the event is 1,000 people. 103 ANALYSIS: This proposed event is a low intensity event, yet one that takes advantage of the new space and continues to draw visitors downtown and notoriety to the city’s presence on the Fox River. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be considered to approve: 1) Parks Special use permit to allow multiple tents at 1202 Riverside Drive (Miller Point Park) with live music on Saturday 10/23 from 3pm to 7pm and 2) to allow alcohol in the park aside from the designated areas adjacent to All Marine Retro Rentals at Miller Point Park on Saturday 10/23 from 3pm – 8pm. 104 105 Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation McHenry Recreation Center 3636 Municipal Drive McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2160 Fax: (815) 363-3119 www.ci.mchenry.il.us/park_recreation CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT DATE: October 3, 2021 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation RE: Park Development in Legend Lakes ATT: Legend Lakes Galway Park Site Plan Cunningham Playground and Installation Quotes Gametime Grant Award Certificate AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Included in the FY 2021/22 budget is $100,000 for the development of a park in Legend Lakes subdivision between the streets of Galway and Killala. The city received a quote to complete the playground installation from Cunningham Recreation in the amount of $102,601.54. In addition, there will be some site work that will have to be completed to level the 1 acre parcel totaling $6,500. BACKGROUND: The Legend Lakes subdivision was initially developed by Kimball Hill homes. There were a number of neighborhoods to the subdivision and a total of three parks; the main Shamrock Farms Park, the Homestead Tot Lot and the Galway Tot Lot. The first two parks were developed as the homes were completed adjacent to the parcels. Shortly after the development of the neighborhoods with the parks, the home market collapsed and all building came to a halt. During that time Kimball Hill went bankrupt and the last neighborhoods in the subdivision were put on permanent hold. As part of the bankruptcy settlement $50,000 was set aside for the development of the park in the last neighborhood. As council is aware Lennar acquired the all the remaining lots in Legend Lakes and is in the process of wrapping up construction completing the neighborhoods in the subdivision. The city has been planning for this park to be developed and placed an additional $50,000 Parks Developer Donation money in the Capital budget to complete the park, which at this point would consist of a playground and site leveling for open space. A site plan of the park is included. Staff solicited a number of quotes and various site layout options before selecting a final layout from Cunningham Recreation. In addition, a playground grant was applied for and subsequently awarded to the city this September totaling over $42,000. The grant award is also attached. 106 ANALYSIS: With the homes in place, getting the park built is a priority. It is a lower impact neighborhood tot lot and so there are not a great deal of elements, simply a playground and open space. The quote is slightly over the budgeted amount however the Parks Developer Donation can absorb the overage for the installation of the new park. Staff is also working with Lennar on a possible donation of time and materials on a portion of the completion of the park. At this time, the builder had not made a final determination on what that donation would be. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be considered to approve a quote from Cunningham Recreation in the amount of $102,601.54 for the installation of a neighborhood park in the Legend Lakes subdivision between Galway and Killala. 107 108 109 City of McHenry Attn: Pat Gorniak 105 S.

(Community Development Director Polerecky) Presented by Director Polerecky, in summary there will be 35 acers developed for 540 apartments, the location of Illinois Route 31/Veterans Parkway. The Cunat’s want to develop the entire site, which are currently empty lots. Brian Cunat, thanked The Council for their time, approached the owner of the current property, the demand and need is strong. This is a higher end apartment complex, similar project within The City of Volvo. This complex will be built in two phases. Indoor pool, outdoor pool, clubhouse, and playground areas were some amenities that were mentioned. All standards for fire code will be met. Stronger demand for 1- or 2-bedroom complex. Looking for a new signal light at 31 and Veterans Parkway, also looking for sewer system and increase in lift station. Wanted to get feedback from The City Council regarding this, to also check into the infrastructure of The City of McHenry. Mayor Jett, asked The City Council on their input regarding this. On the north and east side up against housing developments, per Alderman Santi would there be fencing on those borders or trees etc. Correct as confirmed by Director Polerecky. Also asked was walking paths, as confirmed by Brian & John Cunat these will be connected by walking paths along with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and conference space as well. Alderman McClatchey stated he liked the location of the complex. Alderman Glab, asked some questions regarding the Volvo complex that contained 17 acres, located behind the Home Depot. Alderman Glab expressed his concerns regarding the water system and pumps, per Director Strange this would not have any concerns regarding thi s. Had further questions regarding the walkway and the widening of route 31. Alderman Harding has some questions regarding the traffic signal, per Director Polerecky stated that these are all under review if this discussion goes further. Alderman Devine was concerned about the apartment amount, that is his only concern, happy with the location. Per City Planner Sheriff, stated it was hard to compare the market absorption because it has been 20 years since an apt. development had been built in McHenry County. Alderman Santi thanked the Cunats for their time and liked the style of the apartments. Alderwoman Miller feels this is filling a need for 1 or 2 bedroom housing along with the location, also thanked them for their time. Alderman Strach, would follow the comments of Alderwoman Miller, conceptually looks good and the demand is also supported for here. Per Mayor Jett on to the next step and time to move forward with this. Alderman McClathcey stated this could be a win to drive new restaurants and retail etc. 122 City of McHenry Council Meeting Minutes 9.20.21 4 C. Water and Sewer Base Fees continued discussion and City Council direction. (Public Works Director Strange) Presented by Director Strange recapping the presentation from August, did more research with finances, thankful to Director Lynch for that. Based on the current collections and fees there are two options: sewer lining / power painting / capital maint. replacement/.50 option per billing cycle. Or water main option $8. Wanted to bring the ideas to The Council to see what should be adopted and moved forward with. Alderwoman Miller feels the second option would have her support. Alderman Glab questioned the water usage and who is paying for it, questioned the fees and stated that there are many that cannot afford it. Alderman Devine agrees with Alderwoman Miller and Alderman Strach as well. Alderman Harding is leaning towards the first option and many people struggling. Alderman McClatchy stated that is against raising the pricing, also thanked Director Lynch. Alderman Santi has favor option A but has received some concerns from constituents. This discussion went on for some time, also talk about compromise regarding the pricing scenarios to accommodate in between.

Council Meeting FROM: Cody Sheriff, City Planner RE: Z-993 - A Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use and Zoning Variations for the continued operation of a transitional living shelter commonly known as Home of the Sparrow ATT: 1. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated September 15, 2021 2. Ordinance granting a Conditional Use Permit and Zoning Variations for 2116 N. Ringwood Road 3. Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report 4. Application Packet AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Home of the Sparrow, Inc., is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use for the continued operation of a transitional living shelter and Zoning Variations to minimum lot width, parking lot perimeter landscaping, interior side yard setback for the existing playground structure, and any other zoning relief necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory structures. The Planning & Zoning Commission met on September 15, 2021 and unanimously recommended approval subject to the following condition: 1. The property owner shall be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping as required by the Zoning Ordinance should the existing trees east of the southernmost parking lot be removed as determined by the Zoning Administrator or if the vacant lots east of the south parking lot are developed. BACKGROUND: Home of the Sparrow provides affordable housing, rapid re-housing, and other supportive services for single women, pregnant women, and women with children – 93 percent of women served are domestic abuse survivors. The petitioner has operated the shelter at 2116 N. Ringwood Road since 1991 (30 years). 134 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org The City of McHenry and the petitioner successfully applied and received $120,000.00 in Community Development Block Grant (2019) funding for the extension of the water main along Ringwood Road. The goal of the project was to provide water sprinklers to the site for the safety of the occupants served by Home of the Sparrow. The property was recently annexed to the City of McHenry on April 5, 2021 as part of the agreement for connecting to City Water services. Approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Zoning Variations to continue to operate as a transitional living shelter is the final step in the process. RECOMMENDATION: If the City Council concurs, it is recommended the attached ordinance granting a Conditional Use Permit, and Zoning Variations to accommodate the operation of a transitional living shelter at 2116 N. Ringwood Road be approved (Mayor and City Council vote-simple majority). 135 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org 2 Unapproved Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes from September 15, 2021 Public Hearing: Home of the Sparrow, Inc. Z-993 2116 N Ringwood Road Z-993 - A Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use for the continued operation of a transitional living shelter and Zoning Variations to minimum lot width, parking lot perimeter landscaping, interior side yard setback, and any other zoning relief necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory structures. Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:05 p.m. regarding File No Z-993 a Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use for the continued operation of a transitional living shelter and Zoning Variations to minimum lot width, parking lot perimeter landscaping, interior side yard setback, and any other zoning relief necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory structures at 2116 N. Ringwood Rd. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed all legal posting requirements have been met. Debbie DeGraw and Matthew Kostecki were sworn in and stated Home of the Sparrow operates a Transitional Shelter located at the subject property and has for 30 years since 1991. The shelter was previously located in McHenry County and was recently annexed into the City of McHenry. They are requesting a conditional use for the City of McHenry to operate the shelter within conforming use. City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating The City of McHenry and the petitioner successfully applied and received $120,000.00 in Community Development Block Grant (2019) funding for the extension of the water main along Ringwood Road. The goal of the project was to provide fire sprinklers to the site for the safety of the occupants served by Home of the Sparrow, upon recent annexation to the City of McHenry as part of the agreement for connecting to City Water services. Approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Zoning Variations to continue to operate as a transitional living shelter is the final step in the process. Staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the future land use map recommendation. Planning and Zoning Commission September 15, 2021 Page 2 136 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org 3 Given the longevity of the operation, staff does not believe the continuation of the use would generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding property owners. Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies, stating approval of the petitioner’s request would be supportive of the City’s growth objectives and policies. City water services have been extended to service the site. Also, although many policies and objectives do not apply in this specific circumstance, staff believes approval of the request would be supportive of promoting responsible growth while providing a high quality of life to our residents. Transitional living shelters provide a much- needed form of housing for vulnerable populations. With not many transitional housing options currently available in McHenry County, staff believes approval of the request would be supportive of the broader idea of creating a mix of diverse housing options and services for the City’s residents should those services be required. The petitioner is not proposing any changes to the site. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum lot width of 50-feet per dwelling unit in the RS-4 District for a combined total of 300 feet. The petitioner will need to receive approval of a zoning variation to allow a minimum lot width of 125 feet in lieu of the required 300 feet. The striped spaces on the north side of the property do not have perimeter landscaping. This is primarily related to existing site constraints of the property which does not reasonably allow perimeter landscaping at this location. The east side of the south parking lot is also missing perimeter landscaping; however, there are numerous decidious trees to the east that provide natural screening of the parking lot area. Staff is recommending that a condition of approval be added that the petitioner would be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping should those trees be removed. The Ordinance requires a minimum of a 6-foot setback from the property line. Although the principal building complies, playground equipment appears to encroach within the setback. Staff has placed a general interior side yard setback provision within the request to accommodate all existing accessory structures on site. Planner Sheriff stated Staff is recommending a condition of approval be added regarding the variance for the south parking lot perimeter landscaping that the property owner shall be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping should the deciduous trees east of the subject property be removed. Overall, the proposal appears to be in substantial conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Development Policies. Given the longevity of the use, and the value our community receives for having close access to a transitional living shelter, Staff does not object to the petitioner’s request subject to appropriate conditions. 137 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org 4 Planner Sherriff stated if the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with staff’s assessment then two motions are recommended, as presented in the Staff Report.

Page 1 of 1 144 145 146 147 Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Comments The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing. BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY The petitioner, Home of the Sparrow, Inc., (“Owner of Record”), is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use for the continued operation of a transitional living shelter and Zoning Variations to minimum lot width (125 feet existing, estimated 300 feet required), parking lot perimeter landscaping (north parking lot, and east portion of south parking lot), interior side yard setback for the existing playground structure (estimated existing 3 feet, 6 feet required), and any other zoning relief necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory structures. Home of the Sparrow provides affordable housing, rapid re-housing, and other supportive services for single women, pregnant women, and women with children – 93 percent of women served are domestic abuse survivors. The petitioner has operated the shelter at 2116 N. Ringwood Road since 1991 (30 years). The site consists of 1.26 acres, more or less, and is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of W. West Shore Drive and N. Ringwood Road, with a common address of 2116 N. Ringwood Road, McHenry, IL 60050 (“Subject Property”). The City of McHenry and the petitioner successfully applied and received $120,000.00 in Community Development Block Grant (2019) funding for the extension of the water main along Ringwood Road. The goal of the project was to provide water sprinklers to the site for the safety of the occupants served by Home of the Sparrow. The property was recently annexed to the City of McHenry on April 5, 2021 as part of the agreement for connecting to City Water services. Approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Zoning Variations to continue to operate as a transitional living shelter is the final step in the process. CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional Uses, listed in §11-15-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Variances, listed in §11-19-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. STAFF ANALYSIS FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION The future land use map recommends Medium-Density Residential for the property. Institutional uses are allowed in all zoning districts subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the future land use map recommendation. CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING The subject property is zoned RS-4 High-Density Single Family on the north half of the property and RS-3 Medium-Density Single Family on the south half. The petitioner has operated a not-for-profit transitional living shelter on the property since 1991. Given the longevity of the operation, staff does not believe the continuation of the use would generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding property owners. 148 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies. Staff comments italicized. • Growth, Goal – “Encourage responsible, orderly growth in the City by assisting property owners with annexation, supporting development plans, and promoting redevelopment.” (p. 28) o Objective – “Work to annex land into the City, especially unincorporated islands.” (p. 28)  Policy – “Establish annexation priorities based upon the ability to logically extend and fund sewer and water lines to encourage growth and to discourage leapfrog development.” (p. 28) • Approval of the petitioner’s request would be supportive of the City’s growth objectives and policies. City water services have been extended to service the site. • Land Use, Objective – Allow a mixture of land uses in appropriate areas to promote responsible growth while providing a high quality of life to the residents. o Although many policies and objectives do not apply in this specific circumstance, staff believes approval of the request would be supportive of promoting responsible growth while providing a high quality of life to our residents. Transitional living shelters provide a much-needed form of housing for vulnerable populations. With not many transitional housing options currently available in McHenry County, staff believes approval of the request would be supportive of the broader idea of creating a mix of diverse housing options and services for the City’s residents should those services be required. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS The petitioner is not proposing any changes to the site. See below for staff comments on zoning district bulk and setback requirements. Minimum Lot Width. Staff estimates there are approximately 6 dwelling units total - 4 2-bedroom living units, and 9 dorm rooms with access to 2 kitchens. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum lot width of 50-feet per dwelling unit in the RS-4 District for a combined total of 300 feet. The petitioner will need to receive approval of a zoning variation to allow a minimum lot width of 125 feet in lieu of the required 300 feet. Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping. The stripped spaces on the north side of the property do not have perimeter landscaping. This is primarily related to existing site constraints of the property which does not resonably allow perimeter landscaping at this location. The east side of the south parking lot is also missing perimeter landscaping; however, there are numerous decidious trees to the east that provide natural screening of the parking lot area. Staff is recommending that a condition of approval be added that the petitioner would be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping should those trees be removed. Interior Side Yard Setback. The Ordinance requires a minimum of a 6-foot setback from the property line. Although the principal building complies, playground equipment appears to encroach within the setback. Staff has placed a general interior side yard setback provision within the request to accommodate all existing accessory structures on site. 149 STAFF RECOMMENDATION & MOTION In summary, the petitioner is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Zoning Variations to accommodate the continued operations of a transitional living facility. Home of the Sparrow has utilized the property as a transitional living shelter since 1991. The property was recently annexed into the City on April 5, 2021 as part of an agreement to extend city water services. This connection was part of a Community Development Block Grant that both the City and the petitioner applied successfully for in 2019. Staff is recommending a condition of approval be added regarding the variance for the south parking lot perimeter landscaping that the property owner shall be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping should the deciduous trees east of the subject property be removed. Overall, the proposal appears to be in substantial conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Development Policies. Given the longevity of the use, and the value our community receives for having close access to a transitional living shelter, staff does not object to the petitioner’s request subject to appropriate conditions. If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with staff’s assessment, then two motions are recommended: 1st MOTION: I motion to recommend approval of the petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use to operate a transitional living shelter on the subject property. AND by making said motion, I agree with staff’s assessment that the approval criteria for Conditional Uses have been met as outlined in the Staff Report. APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR CONDITIONAL USES (11-15-5). Staff comments italicized below. A. Traffic: Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning district has been minimized. a. Staff does not believe approval of the petitioner’s request would generate any adverse traffic impacts. B. Environmental Nuisance: Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a type or degree not characteristic of permitted uses in the zoning district, have been appropriately controlled. a. Staff does not believe approval of the petitioner’s request would generate any environmental nuisances. C. Neighborhood Character: The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or manmade character of its surroundings, and with permitted uses in the zoning district. The use will not have undue deleterious effect on the environmental quality, property values, or neighborhood character already existing in the area or normally associated with permitted uses in the district. a. Given that the property has operated as a transitional living facility since 1991, staff does not believe approval of the petitioner’s request would generate any additional adverse impacts on the surrounding property owners. D. Public Services and Facilities: The proposed use will not require existing community facilities or services to a degree disproportionate to that normally expected of permitted uses in the district, nor generate disproportionate demand for new services or facilities, in such a way as to place undue burdens upon existing development in the area. a. The site is presently serviced by City Water. E. Public Safety and Health: The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or health of the employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the use nor of the general public in the vicinity. a. Staff does not believe the proposed use will generate any adverse impacts on public safety and health. F. Other Factors: The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility pertinent to the conditional use and its particular location. a. Overall, staff believes the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding residential land uses. (Staff report continues on next page) 150 2nd MOTION: I motion to approve the petitioner’s request for the following Zoning Variations: 1) to allow a minimum lot width of 125 in lieu of the required 300 feet; 2) to allow no parking lot perimeter landscaping along the north side of the northernmost parking lot and east side of the southernmost parking lot subject to the condition that the property owner shall be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping as required by the Zoning Ordinance should the existing trees east of the parking lot be removed as determined by the Zoning Administrator or if the vacant lots east of the south parking lot are developed; 3) to allow an interior side yard setback of 2 feet in lieu of the required 6 feet for the existing playground equipment; and 4) any other zoning relief necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory structures. AND by making said motion, I agree with staff’s assessment as outlined in the staff report and that the approval criteria for Variances have been met. VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA (11-19-5). Comments of staff italicized below. A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere. The subject property was annexed into the City of McHenry in April 2021. Previously subject to the McHenry County Unified Development Ordinance, the annexation of the property now requires the property to conform with the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. Staff believes the petitioner’s request is related to this special circumstance not found elsewhere. B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only. Staff believes this is a special circumstance as it relates to this property only and not all property within the RS-4 Residential District. C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action. The existing zoning nonconformities were created as a result of the annexation and not the property owner. D. Unnecessary Hardship. Staff believes if the city enforces the ordinance that it would cause undue hardship onto the property owner since it has operated in its current capacity as a transitional living shelter for approximately 30 years. E. Preserves Rights Conferred By District: Staff believes this does not confer a special privilege for the subject property. F. Necessary For Use Of Property: Staff believes that without approval, the petitioner would be denied reasonable use and enjoyment of the property. G. Not Alter Local Character: Staff believes approval of the petitioner’s request would not substantially alter essential character of the locality nor have any other adverse impacts given the property has been operated as a transitional living shelter since 1991. H. Consistent With Title And Plan: Staff believes the proposed development is appropriate for the residential zoning district since transitional living shelters (institutional uses) are allowed as a conditional use which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. I. Minimum Variance Recommended: Staff believes the proposed variations requested are the minimum required.

Please respond to each of these conditions as it relates to your request. 1. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere Special circumstances exist that are particular to the property for which the variance is sought and that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district; and these circumstances are not of so general or recurrent a nature as to make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them. Home of the Sparrow is requesting the conditional use because of the annexation to the City. The shelter is now on City water and has installed a Fire Suppression System for safety measures to the community and its clients. The Shelter is on a main thoroughfare where other businesses, Churches reside. In order to have a conforming property the organization is requesting this conditional use since the annexation. 2. Circumstances Relate to Property Only Since a variance will affect the character of its surroundings long after a property changes hands, the special circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of the land or building(s) for which a variance is sought, such as dimensions, topography, or soil conditions; and they do not concern any business or activity the present or prospective owner or tenant carries on or seeks to carry on therein, or to the personal, business or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other party with interest in the property. The only change to the property is that City water was brought into the building and a fire suppression system is installed. 166 Public Hearing Application Packet Page 14 of 22 3. Not Resulting from Applicant Action The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of the applicant or of any other party with interest in the property. The request is only for the operation of the Transitional Shelter by Home of the Sparrow to conform with City guidelines. 4. Unnecessary Hardship The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience. The shelter has been in operation since 1991 where annually 100 individuals of which 60% are children reside and call this home. Without this location women and children would be on the street in the community. This would present a severe hardship to all involved. 5. Preserves Rights Conferred by District A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same zoning district, and does not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to other properties in the district. There are other businesses and churches located on Ringwood Rd. This does not represent a special privilege but rather a extraordinary service to the community _____________________________________________________________ 6. Necessary for Use of Property The granting of a variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant’s economic return, although it may have this effect, but because without a variance the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use or enjoyment of the property. 167 Public Hearing Application Packet Page 15 of 22 This variance and conditional use is necessary in order to continue to provide services to the community at large. This shelter is a huge asset to the City of McHenry and its residents. 168 Public Hearing Application Packet Page 16 of 22 7. Not Alter Local Character The granting of a variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor substantially impair environmental quality, property values, or public safety or welfare in the vicinity. The shelter has been located on this parcel since 1991 with no adverse effects to the vicinity. 8. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changes conditions since their adoption. 9. Minimum Variance Required The variance requested is the minimum required to provide the applicant with reasonable use and enjoyment of the property. The variance will provide the City of McHenry and its residents a local resource to help people in need that otherwise might be on the streets. The use is reasonable and minimal. 169 Public Hearing Application Packet Page 17 of 22 FORM E File Number USE VARIANCE Planning and Zoning Commission City of McHenry 333 South Green Street  McHenry, IL 60050  Tel: (815) 363-2170  Fax: (815) 363-2173 Table 32(A) of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or conditional approval of a use variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit to the City Council written findings that all of the conditions listed below apply to the requested action. Please respond to each of these conditions as it relates to your request. 1. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance relating to the use of the buildings or structures, or the use of the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience.
