PRESENTATION
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas K. Maxeiner, City Administrator
FOR: January 17, 2005 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: “Support our Troops” Military Donation Program
In November 2004, the Mayor was approached by city employees with an idea to collect
donations to send to McHenry’s military personnel serving overseas. Several city
employees have family members currently serving in Iraq. Instead of limiting the drive
to just city employees, it was opened to the community and a collection box was placed
in the Municipal Center Atrium.
As a result of the dedication and patriotism shown by our employees, several local
military personnel received needed personal items and the knowledge that we appreciate
them and their bravery. In addition, several local businesses donated funds to offset the
cost of shipping the donations overseas.
On behalf of the City of McHenry, Mayor Low will be presenting Certificates of
Appreciation to the following employees for their involvement in this project:
Tina Conaway, Parks and Recreation
Debbie Glick, Finance Department
Tish Gurrie, Finance Department
Tim Harris, Administration
Bill Hobson, Administration
Judy Lanphier, Police Department
Pattie Lunkenheimer, Parks and Recreation Department
Joan Lunsmann, Police Department
Chris Newman, Community Development
Kathy Quick, Parks and Recreation Department
The Mayor will also acknowledge monetary contributions from the following businesses:
First National Bank
Salon Te Elle Ce
Culvers Restaurant
Drs. Carol and Kevin Wegrzyn
Bjorkman’s Ace Hardware
Friends of the Library

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Douglas K. Maxeiner, City Administrator
FROM: Thomas J. O’Meara, Chief of Police
FOR: January 17, 2005 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Northern Illinois Police Crime Laboratory Agreement
Background, In May of 2004, the City Council approved the request of the Police
Department for continued membership in the Northern Illinois Police Crime Lab
(NIPCL), a multi-jurisdictional laboratory available to member departments for crime
scene and evidence processing. The return to NIPCL in 2003 came after having used
the Illinois State Police lab for several years. NIPCL offered a quicker turnaround on
evidence processing and is equipped to handle all major investigations for its members.
The yearly membership amount is currently $25,000.
NIPCL has been located inside the Highland Park Police Department for approximately
25 years. However, the city of Highland Park is re-locating their Police Department to a
new building. After examining several options, it was determined that Highland Park
would not be able to house NIPCL in their new facility. Consequently, NIPCL found a
new location in Vernon Hills and signed a 5-year lease on the building. Possession of
the building will be obtained this month for renovation work to begin, with the actual
move of the lab to occur in early spring. The lease calls for an option to renew for five
(5) additional years.
Analysis. NIPCL is asking member departments to contribute to a facility fund to
provide for the lease, maintenance, repair or improvement of the new building used by
NIPCL. McHenry’s commitment is set at $3,000 per year or $15,000 for the five year
agreement. In essence, this represents an increase in the membership dues since
NIPCL’s overhead has now increased. Payment is required by May 10, 2005 but the
request is being brought forward now to provide a commitment to NIPCL. Staff is
recommending approval of the request in order to maintain the high level of service
provide by the lab and ensure the availability of the lab for future needs. Approval of
this request signifies a five year commitment to the NIPCL.
Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the agreement with the Northern
Illinois Police Crime Laboratory for McHenry’s participation in the Facilities Fund at a
cost of $3,000 per year or $15,000 for the five year period.
