RE: Town of Cicero – “Gang Free Zones” Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: To consider the request made by President Betty Loren-
Maltese of the Town of Cicero to draft a Resolution in support of the ‘Gang Free
Zone” ordinance.
April 27, 1999, the Town of Cicero passed an ordinance establishing “Gang Free Zones.”
This ordinance was created to help identify gang members in the Town of Cicero and to act
as an aid in establishing procedures for administrative hearings resulting in the elimination
of gangs in their town. In addition, a second ordinance was passed for the seizure and
impoundment of motor vehicles entering a gang free zone. Copies of both ordinances are
attached for your review.
The American Civil Liberties Union has recently announced its intention to contest this
ordinance as unconstitutional. President Maltese is requesting a resolution from the City of
McHenry in support of this ordinance. The Town of Cicero is in the making this request to
every City, Village, Town, and County in the State of Illinois. A copy of the ordinance and
letter from President Maltese to the Mayor is attached.

RE: McHenry/Johnsburg Boundary Agreement
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance authorizing the Mayor’s execution of
the Intergovernmental Agreement Establishing a jurisdictional boundary line
between City of McHenry and the Village of Johnsburg.
May 12, 1999 the City of McHenry’s ADHOC Committee met with Village of
Johnsburg officials to discuss the boundary agreement drafted by McHenry. Prior to
the meeting, Johnsburg had submitted a letter outlining changes they were seeking
to the Agreement. These changes along with other non-substantive changes that
were later requested (namely recitals A through L), have been incorporated into the
Agreement and were previously distributed to the City Council on June 2, 1999.
At the time of this writing, it is anticipated Johnsburg will be approving this
Agreement on Thursday, June 10,1999.
To approve the boundary agreement, the City Council must pass the Ordinance
enclosed that references the Agreement. In addition upon approval, a legal
description of the boundary line will be added to Exhibit A of the Agreement. The
Ordinance will then be recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds.

DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORT
To: Mayor and City Council
From: John A. Lobaito, City Administrator
Date: January 10, 2022
For: June 14, 1999 Regular City Council Meeting
Subject: Branch III Courtroom Renovations
As you know, the County Circuit Clerk’s office uses the City’s facilities to hold Court on
Wednesdays. Vernon Kays, McHenry County Circuit Clerk, contacted the City
Administrator regarding proposed renovations to the fine-payment center area located at
the front of the Court entrance to City Hall.
Enclosed is a memorandum to Under-Sheriff Kottke from Captain Olson of the McHenry
County Sheriffs Department addressing concerns regarding the security of the fine-
payment center. A large amount of money is collected in this area and they feel that
security should be enhanced to prevent anyone from trying to burglarize their employees.
The Circuit Clerk is requesting approval from the City Council to make the recommended
changes stated in the enclosed memorandum from Captain Olson. All of the approved
changes would be at the County’s expense and the City’s Building and Grounds
Department would be consulted to ensure these modifications were done appropriately.

RE: Ordinance Amending Chapter 26 of the Municipal Code
It has come to Staff’s attention that the establishment of a water and sewer
department as a combined waterworks and sewage system was never executed. The
enclosed ordinance is necessary to define the correct procedure for the acquisition of
certain properties relating to the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant.
From a practical standpoint, this ordinance does not alter how these departments
function. As best Staff can determine, the omission of this ordinance in our
Municipal Code was simply an oversight.

RE: Public Hearing: Special Service Area, Shamrock Lane & Route 31
RECOMMENDATION: To conduct a Public Hearing and solicit comments from the
Public.
At the May 19, 1999 City Council Meeting, the City Council approved an ordinance
proposing the establishment of a Special Service Area for the improvements at
Shamrock Lane and Route 31. Specifically, the proposed improvements include a
three-way traffic signal at the intersection of Shamrock Lane and Route 31; turning
lane improvements on Route 31 from approximately Bull Valley Road to Corporate
Drive; and synchronization of the traffic signal at Bull Valley and Route 31 with the
proposed traffic signal at Shamrock Lane and Route 31.
The purpose of the Public Hearing is to provide an opportunity for the public to
comment on the proposed project. This may be done orally or a person may file their
comments in writing. Upon adjournment of the final hearing, there is a 60-day
waiting period in which the affected owners and electors of the Special Service Area
will have an opportunity to file a petition to block the creation of the Special Service
Area. Notice of the hearing was published in the newspaper 15-days prior to the
hearing, and written notice was provided to the last known taxpayer within the
proposed Special Service Area 10-days prior to the hearing.
After the 60-day period, the City Council must pass an ordinance establishing the
Special Service Area and conduct a public hearing for the sale of bonds. This may be
done at the same meeting. Prior to the hearing, the City will have bid the project and
established the cost of improvements.
For City Council review, I have enclosed previous correspondence that discusses the
improvement cost and estimated cost to the Special Service Area participants.
