Attachments AGENDA SUPPLEMENT TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John A. Lobaito, City Administrator FOR: April 15, 2002 Regular City Council Meeting RE: Request for Class F2 Liquor License – Meijer Stores Limited Partnership RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request for a Class F2 Liquor License from Meijer Stores Limited Partnership, 2253 N. Richmond Road, and to approve the attached Ordinance increasing the number of Class F2 Liquor Licenses from Eight to Nine. A request for a Class F2 liquor license was received from Meijer Stores Limited Partnership for the retail sale of alcoholic liquors in packages only. A copy of the application is attached. Mr. Donald A. Nunn, authorized agent for Meijer Stores submitted the required $800 fee, all required paperwork, and met with Mayor Althoff. The manager is Douglas Foland, who is relocating his family to the City of McHenry. Mr. Foland was fingerprinted and the city received a satisfactory report. Meijer Stores has a comprehensive training program that all their employees attend called “Alcohol Awareness.” This program instructs their employees on sales and handling of alcoholic beverages, and to know and understand the rules and regulations governing these items in their respective states. In addition, Mayor Atlhoff advised Mr. Nunn on the importance of checking identification and future liquor establishment inspections. As Liquor Commissioner, Mayor Althoff is recommending that the City Council approve the application for a Class F2 Liquor Licenses from Meijer Stores Limited Partnership d/b/a Meijer #218 and to approve the attached Ordinance increasing the number of F2 liquor licenses from eight to nine. mmg EXECUTIVE SESSION TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mayor Pamela J. Althoff John A. Lobaito, City Administrator FOR: April 15, 2002 Regular City Council Meeting RE: Potential Litigation Regarding FPA Petition Recently, staff became aware of the potential development and annexation of the Amli and Ravenswood properties to the Village of Wonder Lake. These properties are adjacent to the northwest corporate boundary of the city. A map is attached for your reference. In addition, the Howe Property at the northeast corner of State Route 120 and Wonder Lake Road is also being considered for annexation to Wonder Lake. The potential annexation of these properties will have an effect on future land use control by the City of McHenry and Its FPA boundaries. Background The annexation agreement with Shamrock Farms obligates McHenry to petition the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) for amendment to McHenry’s FPA. The FPA currently dissects Shamrock Farms and if unchanged, the westerly part of the development cannot be serviced with sanitary sewers. Upon execution of a Boundary Agreement with the Village of Bull Valley, the city will file a petition with NIPC to amend the FPA boundary line. The amendment will include Shamrock Farms property and the land on McHenry’s side of the boundary agreement. As the agreement will require Bull Valley to support the FPA amendment, NIPC should have little difficulty approving the modification. In conjunction with McHenry’s petition to NIPC, the city may wish to consider including properties north of State Route 120. This area includes the three properties referenced above and is currently outside the Bull Valley and McHenry FPA. This area is referred to as a non-FPA area and could be included in the NIPC petition, thereby giving the city more control over these properties. Once these matters are completed, the Boundary Agreement between the City of McHenry and Village of Bull Valley can be brought to the City Council. This matter is before the City Council for discussion. mmg Attach. CONSENT AGENDA TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John A. Lobaito, City Administrator FOR: April 15, 2002 Regular City Council Meeting RE: Assistant City Administrator Position As the City Council is aware, the Mayor and I have been interviewing candidates for the position of Assistant City Administrator. In total, 40-applications were received of which seven candidates were selected for interviews. Upon review of the qualifications and background experience of the candidates, it is recommended to hire John Lockerby as the Assistant City Administrator at Grade 21, Step 3 ($61,404) with three-weeks vacation. Mr. Lockerby’s vacation time for year 2002 would be calculated pro rata (nine-days). Currently, Mr. Lockerby holds the position of Management Analyst for the Village of Woodridge and has nearly six-year experience in Municipal Administration. His diverse background of activities at Woodridge will be a great benefit to McHenry. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the hiring of John Lockerby as the Assistant City Administrator at Grade 21, Step 3, subject to the successful completion of a pre-employment physical. mmg Attach.
