In August 1991, the Police Department moved into its headquarters at the Municipal
Center. At that time, RADICOM, Inc. of McHenry, Illinois installed radio equipment
manufactured by CML in the Communication Center. The radio equipment has
served the City well for almost 15 years; however, its useful life has passed. CML no
longer manufactures the equipment model and parts are only available by salvaging
them from similar used equipment.

For: November 1, 2004 Regular City Council meeting
Re: NIMS Resolution Adoption - Homeland Security Requirements
On September 8, 2004, the Secretary of Homeland Security sent a letter to the nation’s
governors outlining the minimum requirements for states and territories to comply with the
new National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS is a standardized approach to
incident management and response. Developed by the Department of Homeland Security
and released March 4, 2004, it establishes a uniform set of processes and procedures that
emergency responders at all levels of government will use to manage domestic incidents
no matter what the cause, size, or complexity, including catastrophic acts of terrorism and
disasters.
To qualify for Federal Assistance for preparedness, the city must formally adopt the
basic tenants of the Incident Command System as outlined in the NIMS documents.
The policies and procedures adopted by the City of McHenry Police Department for
incident command follow the recommendations of ILEAS and NIMS.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City of McHenry adopted the attached
Resolution to comply with the NIMS Homeland Security Requirements.

RE: Hunterville Subdivision Water and Sewer Main Construction
ATTACHMENTS: Location Map
RECOMMENDATION: Authorization to advertise for bids for the construction of the
water distribution and sanitary sewer collection system in the Hunterville Park
Subdivision.
Background. At the December 15, 2003 Regular City Council Meeting an Engineering Services
Agreement with Baxter and Woodman was approved for the design of water and sewer main
improvements in the Hunterville Subdivision for an amount not to exceed $73,000.
Analysis. Baxter and Woodman is finalizing the plans, specifications and bid documents for the
water and sewer main. Consequently, staff is now requesting approval to advertise for bids for
the extension of the water and sewer main system including a duplex submersible pumping
station located on the vacant riverfront lot that is centrally located. Baxter and Woodman’s
opinion of probable cost for the improvements is $1,188,536.
This item was brought before the City Council on July 7, 2003 for discussion to determine what
portion of the project, if any, should be attributable to the public benefit. The direction from the
City Council was to pursue the improvements with a public benefit of 10% for project costs. In
addition, the property owners are in agreement that a special service area is the best way to pay
for the proposed improvements.
Recommendation. Staff seeks Council’s authorization to advertise for bids for construction of
the water distribution and sanitary sewer collection system in the Hunterville Park Subdivision.

Recommendation: Request to advertise for bids for Closed Circuit Television
Security Systems for Municipal Center.
In August 1991, the City installed a Closed Circuit Television Security System (CCTV)
in the newly constructed Municipal Center. The components of this system have
started to fail and are in need of replacement. The proposed system is also
necessitated by the remodeling project in the Communication Center due to the
upgrades in technology.
The current system simply acts as a monitoring system in which no recording of
images takes place. In addition several components have failed and have never
been replaced, which leaves previously covered areas uncovered. The proposed
system will restore coverage as originally designed and add cameras to other areas
of the building’s interior and exterior. The proposed system will also add the ability
to record images that can be viewed, if necessary, in the future.
The fiscal year 2004/2005 Capital Improvement Fund includes $300,000 for
Communication Center and Radio Infrastructure Upgrades. This item will be funded
from this appropriation.
Recommendation: Staff requests authorization to seek bids for a Closed Circuit
Television System (CCTV).

Co. relating to the McHenry Riverwalk Phase 1 Construction of the Seawall and
Sidewalk adjacent to the Riverwalk Place Townhomes.
Background. On May 17, 204 the City Council awarded the bid for construction of the
seawall and sidewalk adjacent to the Riverwalk Place Townhomes to Herlihy Mid-
Continent Co. for a unit bid price of $275,948.

assure compliance with the approved plans and specifications. If approved, the final
contract price will total $275,948.
