RE: Lease Agreement between the City of McHenry and Mickey Sikula –
Hickory Creek Barn
RECOMMENDATION: To authorize the Mayor’s execution of the Lease Agreement
between the City of McHenry and Mickey Sikula for a period of one year, with a
increase in the Monthly Lease Payment from $1,866 to $1,907.
Last year the City Council decided to continue the lease of the Hickory Creek Barn to
Mickey Sikula on a year to year basis. The term of the lease is from August 1, 1999 to July
31, 2000.
At the request of the Mayor, Parks & Recreation Director Merkel has worked with Mickey to
develop activities at the facility that would expand the use of the barn for the general public.
These activities have been incorporated into the lease agreement under Section 11.
ACCESS TO PREMISES, they are:
Hayrides: use of the grounds for storage of the hay wagon and for trips through the
property north of McCullom Lake Road;
Tours: Park Department tours for educational purposes including summer day camps
and preschool field trips (information on care of horses with riding/rodeo
demonstrations);
Open House Program: Scheduling of one open house program in the fall of the year to
allow for public viewing and historical tours; and
Advertisement: Information to be included in one of the City’s seasonal brochures
about the horse boarding facilities at the park.
Below is a history of monthly lease payments:
Year Increase Rent
1994 $1,650 - 1-Year Lease
1995 6.0% $1,750 - 3-Year Lease
1998 6.0% $1,866 - 1-Year Lease
Proposed 1999 2.2% $1,907 – 1-Year Lease

The utility expenses are the responsibility of the City; this includes gas and electric. Upon
review of last year’s utility costs, the average monthly cost was approximately $520.00.
Compared with the prior year cost of $516.00, the cost of utilities virtually remains
unchanged.
Based on a stagnate utility cost, it is recommended the rent be increased by the rate of
inflation, which is 2.2%.

RE: Payment for Engineering Services – Green Street Reconstruction
RECOMMENDATION: to approve payment to Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick in the
amount of $11,254.56 for Engineering Services relating to the Green Street
Reconstruction Project.
At the November 17, 199 City Council meeting, Staff was directed to send a letter to IDOT
requesting payment for the $11,254.56 in additional engineering services relating to the
Green Street project. (Letter enclosed). On December 20, 1999, the City received a
response from Omar Nashif from the Division of Local Roads and Streets (enclosed). In
short, IDOT has denied our request for reasons explained in the letter.
For the City Council’s review, I have enclosed the previous agenda materials.
Based on the letter from IDOT, it is recommended payment be made to Hampton, Lenzini
and Renwick in the amount of $11,254.56. They provided the services requested and
should be paid.
