At its February 3, 2003 meeting, the City Council considered a request by the

th
restoration of three 95 Infantry Civil War Flags. At the meeting the City Council
stated its support of the project and directed the request to the Finance/Personnel
Committee.
It was the unanimous decision of the Finance/Personnel Committee to recommend to
the City Council a donation of $500 to the McHenry County Civil War Round Table for
th
restoration of three 95 Infantry Civil War Flags. A copy of the Finance/Personnel
Committee minutes from its February 17, 2003 meeting is attached.

EXECUTIVE SESSION
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas K. Maxeiner, City Administrator
FOR: March 31, 2003 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Discussion on City of McHenry Purchase Rights for approximately 54-
acres on the east side of Curran Road in the Shamrock Farms
Development.
Attachment: 1) Page 12, Paragraph 31 of the Shamrock Farms Development
Annexation Agreement
2) Letter from Attorney for Shamrock Farms Development
3) Property-in-question map
As the City Council may recall, the annexation agreement between the City of
McHenry and Shamrock Farms Development included a provision that allows the city
to have the first and exclusive option to purchase approximately 54-acres on the east
side of Curran Road or Neighborhood #1. The provision is effective for three years
following the date of execution of the annexation agreement, which was in July 2001.
The provision was included in the annexation agreement in an effort to alleviate the
potential impact this development could have on the environment. The McHenry
County Conservation District was offered an opportunity to purchase the 54-acres but
declined.
On February 1, 2003 the attached letter was sent to the Mayor from the attorney for
Shamrock Farms informing the city that an offer was received from Kimball Hill
Homes to purchase the land in question for $3,976,000. As of this writing, a copy of
the purchase agreement has not been provided to the city. Once a copy of the
purchase offer is received, the city has 60-days to match the purchase offer.
Staff is looking for direction from the City Council as to its interest in purchasing this
land.

RE: Request from Riverwood School to post signs advertising the

Spring Fling Craft Fair. The fair will be held on Saturday, April 5, 2003 at Riverwood
