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.

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.
