RE: Salary Compensation, Aldermen
At the last City Council meeting, the Council considered increasing Aldermen’s pay
per Council meeting. It was decided not to increase the $75.00 per meeting pay.
However, there was discussion to compensate the Aldermen for Committee
meetings. It was suggested that the pay for Committee attendance be equal to the
pay for City Council meetings.
It is recommended that the City Council discuss this matter in time to amend the
necessary ordinances prior to November 1, 2000.

RE: Lease Agreement between City of McHenry and Main Street
Depot Tenant
Attachments: October 4, 2000 City Council Agenda Supplement
At the October 4, 2000 City Council meeting, Staff was directed to investigate the Cost
of installing a slate roof on the depot building. Although a written cost estimate was
not obtained, the local roofing contractor who provided the original estimate for
asphalt shingles provided a verbal estimated of $120,000.
Staff was also directed to negotiate with the tenant, an agreement on building
maintenance responsibilities in exchange for a graduated increase in rent over a five-
year period. Upon discussions with the tenant, he is agreeable to being responsible
for repairs up to $2,500. This maximum limit would be for any one particular repair,
not the sum of several repairs. For example, if there were a roof leak estimated at
$2,000, and a plumbing problem estimated at $1,000 for a total of $3,000, the tenant
would be responsible for both repairs. In addition, the following rent schedule is
recommended:
Monthly Rent
November 1, 2000 (current lease payment) $350.00
December 1, 2000 (current lease payment) $350.00
January 1, 2001 (current lease payment) $375.00
September 1, 2001 (repair work on bldg. Completed) $800.00
September 1, 2002 $875.00
September 1, 2003 $950.00
September 1, 2004 $1,025.00
September 1, 2005 $1,100.00
The last issue that should be discussed by the City Council is the term of the lease
with the tenant. The proposed lease with Union Pacific is 20-years with a 90-day
termination clause by either party. It is recommended the same lease term be
incorporated into the lease between the tenant and the City of McHenry
Once the City Council defines the conditions of the lease with the tenant, Staff will
incorporate the changes into a new lease agreement and bring it back to the City
Council for action. At the same time, a copy of the lease with Union Pacific will be
brought forward for consideration.
