CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: June 19, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: Adjustment for Water and Wastewater Rates
ATT: Ordinance Amending Title 9-4B-1 Subsection F (Wastewater user rates)
______________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Council is being asked to consider the attached ordinance adjusting water rates to levels that are
appropriate to fund existing operating and maintenance to the water and sewer systems.
BACKGROUND:
In 2013, a Water and Sewer Rate Analysis was conducted by HR Green, Inc. A recommendation
identified in this study was that water and sewer rates be reviewed and, based on this review,
adjusted annually based on the actual operational, maintenance and capital improvement needs
of the municipality. This is distinct from the City’s previous methodology of basing rate
adjustments on a financial index or comparisons with surrounding communities.
In May 2018, the Water and Sewer Rates were not increased as when rates were analyzed with
the budget process, revenues were found to exceed the operating and maintenance expenses.
In May 2019, the Water Rate was increased by $0.20 to $3.54 in order to meet water
maintenance and operational needs. At the June 21, 2021 council meeting Water rates were
raised $0.28 to $3.82 and Sewer rates were raised $0.20 to $4.20 in order to meet water and
sewer maintenance and operational needs.
As a part of the FY23/24 Budget presentation, the water and sewer rate changes proposed with
the attached ordinance were presented and discussed in order to tie the rate adjustment to the
water maintenance, operational, and capital needs.
8
ANALYSIS:
Once the budgets for the Water, Sewer and Utility Maintenance Divisions of Public Works were
developed, it was determined that the current operational revenues for the Sewer Division were
underfunding the needs of the division. This was determined by analyzing the usage from March
2022 through February 2023 and calculating the revenues with the current rates ($3.82 per 1,000
gallons for residential water and $4.20 per 1,000 gallons for residential sewer). Usage has been
fairly stable over the last few years so it is unlikely that usage will be significantly higher or lower
in the next year.
As identified in the FY23/24 Budget, the Water Division’s operational expenses are $2,485,868.
The estimated operational revenues are $2,627,500 with the current water rates of $3.82 per
1,000 gallons (residential) and $4.09 per 1,000 gallons (congregate care). This analysis therefore
identifies that the Water Division Revenues are currently meeting the operational needs of the
division based on the existing rates and no recommended water rate is necessary.
The FY23/24 Sewer Division Budget identifies operational expenses at $3,543,796 with estimated
operational revenues at $3,459,121 based on the current sewer rates of $4.20 per 1,000 gallons
(residential) and $4.06 per 1,000 gallons (congregate care), and the unmetered rate $40.04. This
analysis therefore identifies that the Sewer Division is currently underfunded based on the
existing rates and it is recommended that the sewer rate be increased by 4%. This will result in
a new residential rate of $4.37 per 1,000 gallons and the congregate care rate at $4.22 per 1,000
gallons respectively, with estimated total operational revenues of $3,572,836.
The chart below identifies and compares the rate change total dollar impact on various usage
levels. The BLUE column represents total water and sewer charges based on gallons consumed
at the current residential water rate of $3.82/1,000 gallons and sewer rate of $4.20/1,000
gallons. The ORANGE column represents total water and sewer charges based on gallons
consumed and the proposed new residential water rate of $3.82/1,000 gallons and sewer rate of
$4.37/1,000 gallons. The GREEN column represents the total monetary variance from the
existing rate to the new rate (ORANGE column – BLUE Column). NOTE: While the monetary
variance is different based on usage, the overall percentage increase (water and sewer
combined) for all users regardless of usage is 2.1%.

AGENDA ITEM
DATE: June 19, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Monte Johnson
RE: Liquor Ordinance Amendments
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
During COVID the State of Illinois passed a law that allowed the Sale and Delivery of “To Go”
Mixed Drinks/Cocktails and Single Servings of Wine under certain circumstances and following
strict guidelines. Now that COVID restrictions have passed, the State of Illinois has extended
the time period that those are allowed. To allow our local businesses to continue this practice,
the City of McHenry must alter the liquor code to continue to allow this for businesses. There
have been no reports of issues with the “to go service”, and Staff has received interest from
local businesses wishing to continue this practice.
In 2019, Council passed an ordinance creating a Class F (Full Service Personal Care
Establishment) at the request of a local business. That business ended up not moving forward
with the license, and no businesses in McHenry have shown interest in receiving such license.
The proposed ordinance will remove the Class F license to clean up our code.
The ordinance also clears up language that allows an exemption to the prohibition of sales near
undertaking establishments or mortuaries. This will allow the City to grant Justen Funeral Home
permission to have catering with alcohol as discussed at the June 5, 2023, City Council meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
If council concurs, it is recommended to pass an ordinance Amending Title 4, Business and
License Regulations, Chapter 2, Alcoholic Liquor, of the McHenry Municipal Code

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: June 19, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Re-Roof of Hickory Creek Farm
Attachment: Price quotes (Metalmaster, KM Construction, AMB Roofing)
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Included in the 2023/24 Capital Projects List and Budget is a $350,000 line item for the re -roof of
the Hickory Creek Farm Barn. Staff is seeking the waiver of advertised competitive bidding, and
the acceptance of the low quote from AMB Roofing in the amount of $350,850.
BACKGROUND:
The City of McHenry owns the Hickory Creek Farm at 4401 McCullom Lake Road. The property
was purchased in 1991 and administered extensive renovations in 1997. This included a new
cedar shake roof along with numerous other repairs to the property.
After 26 years of wear and tear on the roof, it is in need of replacement once again. In fact, at
the moment there are numerous places that sunlight can be seen coming through the roof.
Staff explored various options for the replacement and is recommending the installation of a
metal roof.
Staff met independently with three local contractors that specialize in the installation of this
style of roof and are capable of performing a job of this size. Each provided a quote which are
attached to this supplement for review. The low quote was provided by AMB Roofing & Sheet
Metal in the amount of $350,850.
ANALYSIS:
The Hickory Creek Barn was built in the 1940’s and while the barn has become very recognizable,
it is not one that staff feels is imperative to use like materials to when it was built. With it being
utilized as an active horse barn, the metal offers a much safer structure for the barn. In pre -
planning meetings for the annual fireworks show at Petersen Park, this is comment that comes
up every year by the Fire Protection District. The concern of the fallout from the fireworks and
17
the wood shake barn with horses in it. Most years a firetruck is even staged in the parking lot at
the barn for the duration of the event.
In addition to a much safer structure, the life expectancy of a metal roof is typically 40 -70 years.
Depending on the source, this can be double to triple a cedar shake roof. Metals roofs are also
virtually maintenance free compared to a cedar shake roof.
While this is a large job, it is also a straightforward roof replacement. As such, staff is requesting
the waiver of competitive bids in lieu of the three competitive price quotes that are attached.
These are local firms that also specialize in exactly this type of installation. They each are
qualified, trusted local contractors that are invested in our area. Adding unnecessary engineering
along with compilation of bid specifications and documents would add time and costs to this
project. Timing is a factor in that the goal is to have the roof completed before hay season. The
barn is emptier at the moment than typical but it used for hay storage throughout the year so
that will change in the coming months.
Lastly, AMB provided the most competitive price but in the case of additional work being required
for things that may arise, their hourly rates were half of the next closest quote that was provided
by KM Construction
This project is funded through the general fund and included in the 2023/24 Capital Projects List.
If City Council concurs then a motion should be considered to waive the competitive bidding
process and to accept the low quote from AMB Roofing and Sheetmetal for the re-roof of the
Hickory Creek Barn in the amount of $350,850.

Consent Agenda Item 6.A. Accept and authorize the execution of a Proposal from Gov HR USA
to assist with the City Administrator Recruitment and Selection Process
Alderman Glab stated that he is against the City Administrator recruitment policy and is not
necessarily thrilled with going out for a nationwide search. We had an incident years ago where
we got an employee from out of town and it wasn’t a good fit for our community. He feels we
should keep the search closer and with people more familiar with our area. Anderman Santi
stated that he looks forward to working with Gov HR, and believes we are fortunate to work with
an entity with this type of background for recruitment. Alderwoman Miller echoed Alderman

Consent Agenda Item 6.C. Waive the competitive bidding process and accept a proposal from
Associated Electrical Contractors of Woodstock, Illinois in the amount of $119,346.00 for the
replacement and relocation of the Motor Control Center 9MCC) for Water Treatment Plant #2
Alderman Koch asked why the City did not go through the competitive bidding process, and
stressed that he is against not using the open bidding process. Director Strange explained that
this project is similar to a previous lift station project. These are challenging projects that have a
blend of engineering and professional services. This should not be done as a low -bid item, and
does not require a bid selection process. As an electronic construction project, it is difficult to
break down line items for bidding on the project, and difficult to prepare a set of plans to run an
open bidding process. For a similar past project, the City spent as much money trying to engineer
and design bid specifications as it cost to just pay for the project. There were two pr oposals
received for this project, although not done as an open bidding process. He recommends using
this quality-based selection process for these unique projects and challenging work. According to
Director Strange, this is the best and most cost effectiv e way to get this work completed.
A motion was made by Alderman Strach and seconded by Alderman Koch to waive the
competitive bidding process and accept a proposal from Associated Electrical Contractors of
Woodstock, Illinois in the amount of $119,346.00 for the replacement and relocation of the

our important position. The selection of a new City Administrator will be one of the most
important decisions the Council will make, with large shoes to fill left by Derik Morefield.

Conditional Use Permit for Earth Extraction, processing, asphalt/concrete recycling, and outdo or
storage for the construction of a lake in conjunction with a gravel pit. Variations in the request
include: Berm Height: 6-8’ in lieu of 10’ required; Mining Operations Other Than Crushing –
Setback Distance: between 30-50’ in lieu of 100’ required; Crushing Activities Setback Distance
of 712’ in lieu of the required 750’; Hours of Operation: exemption to operate outside Ordinance
requirements to meet contractual obligations from time -to-time.
Alderman McClatchey asked Mr. Pease why he came to the City for the request instead of going
through the County. Mr. Pease said he as an ongoing relationship with the County. The gravel
business is a short-term thing. They are set to be only 1/10th the size of the next door operation,
and are only 120 acres. They have two uses. The first and immediate use is highway frontage built
and developed for quality retail and tenants. This is similar to what Kim & Patty’s Café is near
the McHenry Hospital or the building near Bull Valley & Crystal Lake Road. He wishes to d o a
building similar to that on Route 120. The end product would be a residential subdivision on two
lakes. They have upper-end homes on upper-end subdivisions. He hopes to accomplish this
within 20 years. He encouraged Council to check references in regar ds to them being good
neighbors and working well with the County. He also explained in detail the need for a gravel pit
as McHenry County had 31 and now there are only 11. He also stated that being residents of the
City of McHenry with businesses in the City, he would prefer to give the City the income and
benefits from the gravel pit.
Alderwoman Bassi asked what his idea of short -term meant. She asked if he had a good idea of
what the quickest and longest the gravel pit would be operating for. He said normally it would be
an expected 20-year task, but operations everywhere have doubled. The duration could be much
sooner and probably in the 10-15 year range. With the high interest rates and current
construction market, they could finish in the 10-13 year range. Each stage of the operation would
not last that long and they would complete one stage and move to the next. The intentionally
left the east side stage to the last. It has been discussed to make a shorter, temporary berm on
the east so that the residents backing up to the operation could have access to the new lake.
Instead of being HOA property for the new subdivision, it could be given away to the homeowners
on the east for their use. Mr. Pease also explained that they have an agreement with the Co unty
for some of their land being used as a right-of-way for improvements on Chapel Hill Road.
Alderman Strach asked if there would be crushing done on site. Mr. Pease said there would be
some crushing to a minor degree. He invited the Council to come on a tour of his existing
operations to see how quiet the crushing is. Most of the gravel is in small sizes, with only 1-2%
needing crushed. Alderman Strach asked if there is an opportunity to have the gravel crushed at
a different site, and Mr. Pease said it could be done in Volo. Alderman Strach also asked about
the berm height and setback requests. Mr. Pease explained that they are going just above the
water table, so their crusher sits lower and you would not be able to see the crusher from the
line-of-sight at their requested variations.
Alderman Santi stated that he spent a considerable amount of time with Mr. Pease about three
36
City Council
Meeting Minutes

Page 7
years ago and recently saw some of his operations. He asked about the variation request for the
hours of operation. Mr. Pease explained that there could be an emer gency where they are asked
to provide aggregate. He said this has only happened three times in 40 years, and explained
those situations. If this occurred, he would notify the Police Department and City administrators,
but there would not be a large amount of time to notify residents because these are for
emergencies only. He said the City is welcome to exclude this time variation request but thinks it
is best for the City to have it in place.
Alderman McClatchey said his biggest concern is the increase in traffic. With 50 truckloads, that
is 100 times in and out of the facility. He asked if they have already gotten IDOT approval for
putting this off Route 120. Mr. Pease explained that they have worked with IDOT for the last
three years and have a permit ready to go, but are just waiting for City approval. He explained
the turning lanes that will be required, and believes that most traffic will be heading east and not
through the City of McHenry.
When questioned by Alderwoman Miller about his conversations with neighboring residents, Mr.
Pease stated his desire to hold off a vote from Council until they can get agreements made with
neighbors about possibly giving them land. He also thinks the time can be used to do more
research about his other operations. Mayor Jett said that the Council may postpone the vote, but
he wants to give all attendees and Council members a chance to speak tonight.
Mr. Pease said that property values have been a concern of neighboring areas. He researched
Zillow and found that sales that have occurred surrounding subdivisions around gravel pits have
showed an increase in home values. Once mining ends, those yards look into open lakes or fields
and the gravel pits are then gone forever. Alderwoman Bassi asked if the Zillow search factored
in the mining. She asked what the benefit was of having a gravel pit next door. He said they no
longer have to look at farm fields forever. Once the temporary berms come down, they have a
nice lake and the surroundings have improved. Once the gravel pit leaves, the neighbors have
been given something that is valuable to them.
Alderman Glab pointed out that if the homeowners to the east were to acquire some of the Pease
land, then part of their property would be annexed to the City and part would still reside
unincorporated in the County. Although the mining business may be going quickly now,
Alderman Glab cautioned that the business could slow down as well. Mr. Pease explained that
by having more mining businesses closer to town, this can save on project costs for municipalities
and governments. He cited an example with Woodstock, who reportedly saved $1.1 million on
a project by being able to use local sources. Alderman Glab asked what would happen if their
location turned out to have the wrong quality of gravel like what happened with Meyer and the
north side of Route 120. That was supposed to be a five year project and they still haven’t
completed it due to the lack of finding appropriate materials. Mr. Pease stated that he is
confident in their testing of what is on their land. If they actually had less quality material, they
would finish their mining operations sooner.

Mayor Jett opened up the meeting for public comments on the proposed gravel pit. Terri LaDuke
explained that the City might be interested in the money received from the gravel pit, but it is
reportedly only going to bring in $2 million. She does not believe that money is worth the issues
for the City. She doesn’t like the idea of increased truck traffic on Route 120, and the increased
traffic, noise, and dust will make their lives hell.
Valerie Brixy stated that nobody has bothered to come to her neighborhood to talk to them,
which is disappointing. She is concerned about the environmental impact, sound, water issues,
and noise pollution. There would also be negative effects for the children at the Middle School
and Hilltop Elementary School. They moved from a noisy environment to McHenry County to
have a peaceful home and now they are facing another noisy environment. She feels home values
will plummet and nobody would want to move next to a pit. No matter what they try to do, the
gravel pit won’t be a good neighbor.
Tim Kuraszek used a piece of paper to show an example of the single family homes surrounded
by a possible gavel pit. Some homes have been there for 50-80 years. He also urged to use
common sense by looking at State maps showing gravel deposits in the State of Illinois from the
Department of Natural Resources. He does not think they need to force their way into residential
neighborhoods. He has talked to a groundwater expert in McHenry County and has been told
there will definitely be problems with the wells. The bottom line is that they have homes that
they built and moved to so they could live in peace.
Paul Gurns stated that even though this operation may be more efficient and quiet than other
gravel pits, it will still be a gravel pit that produces noise and dust. He believes Mr. Pease has
given inconsistent answers and can’t directly answer the Council members’ questions. He also
states that he hasn’t been involved in any conversations with the developers, but he lives in the
neighborhood next door.
Kathy Schlueter asks Council to look at Google Maps and see what the gravel pits look like near
a residential neighborhood. She referenced the staff analysis in the packet that has a statement
that a gravel pit next to existing family land use is not an ideal scenario, and should be avoided if
possible due to negative impacts on property values. This is not in compliance with the future
land use consideration. The only reason the City would deviate from this is money, and $2 million
should not be enough. Given the proximity to single family residential, staff also recommends
the denial of hours variation request. The request to lower berms should also not be considered,
per Ms. Schlueter, because they have not shown a hardship. She asks that the developers just
consider getting to the end product now.
Dave Harmon stated that he has read that Mr. Pease is in violation of a stormwater agreement
for a tile on Route 120. Community Development Director Polerecky explained that the tile in
question is out of the City’s jurisdiction, but that the McHenry County s tormwater division does
have an open violation against the property. Mr. Harmon asked how the developer could be
trusted with this violation.

Michael Alva explained that his back yard is right up against the proposed pit. He has a well and
swimming pool near the property as well. Although this may last less than 20 years, there are no
guarantees when they will finish. He stated that if you come to his house at 6:00 a.m. you would
hear Thelen. Although gravel pits are necessary to build roads, they don’t need to live next to
another one. He urges Council members to come to his house and see how dangerous it would
be to have a pit 50 feet from his house. Although the pit may still be constructed under County
jurisdiction, that does not mean that the City should allow it.
Robin Ciuris read of the dangers of silicosis, caused by exposure to crystalline silica dust. She
explained the three types of silicosis and the fact that there is no cure or reversal of the disease.
She worries about he elementary school, the church with a daycare, and the movie theater. The
particles stay in the air for 12 hours, and will be there day and night, even once they are finished.
Anthony Ciuris stated that this issue comes down to one thing. Council can either vote for
corporate greed or private health.
Jeff Jacobs believes that the magical quiet crusher does not exist. He believes Mr. Pease is using
complete salesmanship. Their gravel pit will be just like every other gravel pit. He does not believe
Council would vote for the gravel pit if it was in their neighborhood. He also doesn’t like the
answers given from Mr. Pease.
Debbie Hoffman explained that she moved to Eastwood Manor in 1968. They had a small parcel
on a small pond with nothing in the area. Since they moved there, the area has grown and they
do love their neighbors. She also believes a five lane highway on Chapel Hill road would be
dangerous. Director Polerecky explained that the Chapel Hill Road project is a County project,
and he is willing to give out more information on that issue for anybody that leaves their name
and number with Deputy Clerk Johnson.
Mayor Jett closed the public comment portion of the topic and opened up discussion once again
to Council. Alderman McClatchey stated that McHenry is growing and doing a lot of good things.
He wants the City to grow up, but thinks this is the worst place for a gravel pit.
Alderman Santi stated that he still has questions he needs answered and is uncomfortable voting
on the issue at this time. He also thanked everybody for coming out and appreciates their
comments. He also explained that Mr. Pease purchased this property 3 ½ years ago, and been
doing this business for many years. Mr. Santi also warned that if the City does not take control of
this gravel pit, the County could control it instead. Alderwoman Bassi thanked all members of the
public who attended as this is an emotional issue for them. Alderman Glab also warned the public
that the County could take control of the gravel pit. He urged everyone t o think about the best
entity to control the gravel pit, be it the City of McHenry or McHenry County based in Woodstock.
A motion was made by Alderman Strach and seconded by Alderwoman Bassi to postpone a
vote on the agenda item until the regular City Council meeting on July 17, 2023. Roll Call: Vote:

Kensington Drive Resurfacing
Director Strange reported that per direction from Council, he has looked into the possibility of
resurfacing Kensington Drive prior to its scheduled completion date. The City is very limite d on
what it can do this year. It is not possible to properly resurface the road in 2023 because there
would be a two month process for the bidding, advertising, and contract process. IDOT was also
consulted to see if the road could be added to this year’s existing program, but IDOT would not
allow that. The options are to add it to next year’s schedule or wait for 2025. He explained that
all roads recommended in next year’s project have a rating of 30 or lower, with the lowest score
being the worst rated road. Kensington has a score of 32. The estimated cost for Kensington
Road is $343,000.
Alderman Glab stated that he has been bringing up the need to do Kensington Road for seven
years. After analyzing the survey done in 2019, he is disturbed that Kensington isn’t given credit
for being a collector road. We are doing residential streets ahead of collectors, which doesn’t
seem appropriate. He believes traffic counts should be considered during the busy times of the
year, especially when school is in session. This should make Kensington necessary as it is used
more frequently.
Alderman Strach explained that all Council members have streets in their wards that need
addressed. He has major thoroughfares in his neighborhood with conditions that have
deteriorated since the 2019 report that are beyond repair. Those need to be resurfaced in
advance of their projected date as well. We went through a request last year to add another
street as well, and he believes we should follow the plan we have in place and not make
deviations. A motion was made by Alderman Strach and seconded by Alderman Santi to deny
the request to have Kensington Drive moved up from its proposed spot on the FY25/26 Road
Resurfacing Program.
Alderwoman Bassi thanked Director Strang e for his time in educating her on road conditions and
scores. She also reported that she visited the high school and had a conversation with the
superintendent. We aren’t taking into account that we have added additional parking on West
Campus. Many students are now driving as new students and use Kensington as a shortcut. She
agrees with Alderman Glab that this road should be moved into the 2024 list. Alderman Koch
agreed with Alderwoman Bassi and doesn’t know why we do cul-de-sacs but not this major road.
He does not believe it will last another year and won’t make it through the winter.
Alderwoman Miller supports the motion because she likes the process that we have created as it
is logical and makes sense. She asked if there is something his depar tment could do to make the
road last longer. He said that it isn’t cost effective or feasible for the ones that are a year or two
away from completion. They do pothole patching if they are a year or two out, but saw cutting
40
City Council
Meeting Minutes

Page 11
and big patching doesn’t make sense with the limited resources. She also asked Director Strange
for a recap of the street raking process. Director Strange explained that a company uses lasers
to measure cracks, spiderwebs, and places of distress. This isn’t something the consulting
company created on their own. They use an industry standard and it gives a ranking for the whole
segment of road. He also said the past method the City used to rank roads was subjective at best
and had inconsistency issues. Alderwoman Miller asked how often we should use a consulting
firm to do the roads and he suggested we have another study done again next year. He estimates
that the cost would be about $50,000 for the study.
Alderman Glab stated that nobody knows our roads better than those who live here as we are
local. He doesn’t agree with the survey process and states that timing could be a factor in what
time of the year it is completed. He would rather the Committee of the Whole look at the streets
and reevaluate the streets for next year. Alderman Koch asked if Kensington was the original road
put in or if it has been resurfaced since the subdivision was put in. After discussion about the
history of the road and subdivision, it was unable to be determined for sure if the surface is
original.
Alderman Santi explained that he made the mistake last year of bringing up a road that could be
swapped out of his ward that was not on the schedule. He likes the process we are using by
investing $2-4 million each year. He stated that the current program we are using is a thousand
times better than he has seen from his last 18 years on the Council. He likes that it is rated by an
outside source to keep things fair. After further discussion by Alderman Glab to change the
current process, Alderman Strach called the question. With a motion on the floor to deny the
request to have Kensington Drive moved ahead of schedule, a roll call was taken: Roll Call:
Vote: 4-ayes: Alderman Santi, Alderman McClatchey, Alderman Strach, Alderwoman Miller. 3 -

2024 Road Resurfacing Program
Director Strange explained that we plan to follow the same routine as last year and work our way
down the list of roads with poor ratings. Looking at the 2024 program, there are also a few alleys
that are the City’s responsibility to maintain. At some time we need will need to do those and it
could be put into the next study.
Gary Lieder was a resident in attendance and was given permission to speak for a public comment
on the topic. He said he was the first resident of the Fox Ridge neighborhood. He has seen all of
the development for the last 49 years. The road has continued to deteriorate in worse condition
than some of those on the 2024 list. He appreciates the tough decisions the Council must make
but asks the Council to find a way to find the money or resources to get Kensington done in 2024.
A motion was made by Alderwoman Miller and seconded by Alderman McClatchey to authorize
staff to proceed with plan preparation and public bid the 2024 (FY24/25) Road Resurfacing
Program and, if necessary, to solicit proposals for engineering assistance to present to Council

Discussion Item Agenda
Class A Liquor Licenses, Catering Endorsements, Serving of Alcoholic Beverages at Funeral
Homes
Deputy Clerk Johnson explained that Justen Funeral home had come to Council in the past
requesting a liquor license. At the time, enough Council members were concerned that one of
the City’s current classes of licenses didn’t fit in with what might be appropriate for a funeral
home. Clerk Johnson also explained that businesses without a liquor license have the
opportunity to have their event catered with alcohol by a business that has their catering license.
The issue was brought before Council so they could give input on the possibility of funeral homes
catering with liquor, and for Mr. Robert Justen to explain his request for liquor to be available at
certain funeral services.
Mr. Justen explained how his business has gone down with the increase in popularity of
cremations. Many people are no longer choosing to have a somber funeral, and want to have
something more upbeat with celebration of life services. Many people also want to be able to
toast their friend or relative who has passed on, and the ability to serve liquor would be another
service that his funeral home could offer. He stated that he has lost a lot of business to
restaurants or other banquet halls because he cannot offer alcohol,l so people take their
cremated relatives elsewhere to have their celebration of life. He also explained that if liquor
was served at his business, it would be easier for him to control the drinking as opposed to now
where people may get drunk in the parking lot , and it is hard to police that area.
Deputy Clerk Johnson explained that City of McHenry liquor license holders with a Class A license
that have obtained a catering endorsement can serve alcohol off their premise, and a funeral
home could be one of those places. Per State and City laws, the food must be the main part of
the catering service with alcohol as an incidental service. There must also be a c ontract stating
what the fee will be for the venue, much like a traditional catering event such as a wedding. The
licensed business doing the catering would be responsible for handling all of the liquor concerns
and regulations.
Police Chief Birk explained that our current ordinances do not allow alcohol sales within 100 feet
of a funeral home. To properly allow catering, we would need to pass an ordinance making that
legal. He also cautioned Council from opening up more types of licenses because it coul d get
tricky with other types of businesses that aren’t bars or restaurants asking for liquor licenses. He
explained that funerals can be a moment of weakness and depression and mixing that venue with
alcohol can be dangerous.

With a majority of the Council stating that they are comfortable with allowing catering at a
funeral home, Mayor Jett explained that an ordinance should be written and brought before
Council for passage at a future meeting.
Mayor’s Report
Mayor Jett explained that it has been suggested by Staff to cancel the July 3rd Council meeting as
it is the night before a major City holiday. This would only leave one meeting in July, the July 17th
meeting.
City Council Comment
Alderman Santi reported that the Buss Honorary Street Sign dedication is set for July 8th at 3:00
p.m.
Alderman Glab reported calling Director Hobson about the approval of alcohol for the flag
ceremony in the park. We allow beer and wine at the park with approval, but advertising came
out that stated people should bring their own alcohol, which could open up issues with hard
liquor and the inability to control what is being consumed.
Alderwoman Bassi thanked Chief Birk and his officers for giving them a safe experience for their
bicycle ride.
Alderman Strach reported that he had a meeting with Aqua concerning the McHenry Shores
subdivision. He held a meeting for those residents with the assistance of Chief Birk and Deputy
Chief Walsh, and he thanked them for their assistance with the meeting.
Alderman Koch reported talking to Director Hobson regarding porta-potties at East Beach and
West Beach in the Lakeland Park subdivision. Director Hobson explained that porta -potties are
located at East Beach. A discussion was had regarding picnic tables and opening those parks up
for bigger audiences with more amenities. Director Hobson explained that a master plan is being
written up for our park services, and we are using the Hitchcock Design Group. A kickoff meeting
was held last week for that plan, and it is similar to a comprehensive plan but for the parks
facilities.
Executive Session Minutes and Recordings
A motion was made by Alderman McClatchey and seconded by Alderman Strach to pass a
resolution approving the destruction of any executive session recordings that exist more than 18
months, and for the release of certain minutes, and to keep certain minutes confidential. Roll

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FOR: June 19, 2023 City Council Meeting
FROM: Cody Sheriff, City Planner
RE: Ordinance Annexing an Approximate 42.5-Acre Unincorporated Tract of Land in
McHenry County, Illinois
ATT:
1. Ordinance Annexing an Approximate 42.5-Acre Unincorporated Tract of Land in McHenry
County, Illinois
2. Certificate of Publication
3. Director of Public Works Memorandum dated 6/8/2023
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Section 7-1-13 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes allows a municipality to forcibly annex
unincorporated tracts of land containing 60 acres or less that is wholly bounded by the
municipality. Staff identified a 42.5-acre tract of land that is wholly bounded by the City limits
and located north of the downtown area that consists of 76 property owners. The proposed
annexation would be the 2nd and final phase of involuntary annexations of unincorporated
pockets of land.
BACKGROUND:
The decision to begin the process of annexing the existing unincorporated islands of land began
in February 2021. This was a result of a growing concern that the longer the City waited, the
greater chance there was for the unincorporated territory to become more nonconforming
with the City’s Zoning Ordinance. To mitigate future nonconformities from developing that may
negatively impact adjoining incorporated areas, staff was directed by City Council to begin the
process of forcibly annexing the remaining unincorporated islands of land. Phase 1 of the
annexations involved 148 acres of land in various areas of the City of McHenry. Phase 2 involves
a much smaller 42.5-acre tract of land but incorporates a similar number of property owners.

The legal notice of annexation was published in the Northwest Herald on May 19, 2023. All
property owners were notified on May 15, 2023 via certified mail of the pending annexation.
The certified letter also outlined information related to zoning, property taxes, city utilities,
grandfathering of lawfully existing single-family and two-family dwellings, and a link to City’s
new resident and community resources page on our website.
FEGER’S SUBDIVISION & PARK STREET PROPERTIES – NONDEDICATED ROADS:
The Feger’s Subdivision was platted in 1895 and consists of the majority of the property to be
annexed into the City of McHenry. The roads servicing Feger’s Subdivision include 2nd Avenue,
3rd Avenue, and Court Street and are classified as nondedicated roads that are privately
maintained by the homeowners with some assistance from McHenry Township. A third
unimproved roadway exists that is directly north of the property along 3rd Avenue abutting the
Timber Trails Subdivision. Staff is recommending at some point this property be vacated to the
adjoining properties in the Feger’s Subdivision. The Park Street properties are part of McHenry
Plat No. 9 that was platted in 1902 and is serviced by a private alley identified as Park Street.
The Illinois Compiled Statutes does not require a City to take ownership of roadway
maintenance responsibilities for nondedicated roads. However, staff is recommending the City
take possession of the private roadways and alley as part of this annexation. This process would
need to be conducted at a future meeting to transfer ownership of the roadway. There are
several concrete bollards that separate the Feger’s Subdivision from the Timber Trails
Subdivision to the north. Staff is also recommending these concrete bollards are removed in the
future to allow plow trucks to service the area more effectively.
TAX LEVY – ROADWAY MAINTENANCE & RESURFACING:
Staff estimates the proposed annexations will generate approximately $22,000 per year street
maintenance cost and $18,257 per year annualized capital resurfacing costs. The City has
experienced growth in the Equalized Accessed Values (EAV) in recent years due to projects such
as Authentix, the Residences of Fox Meadows, and various new commercial development. The
estimated total EAV of the proposed annexations is $27,000 per year – less than the combined
cost of maintenance and capital resurfacing. Accounting for this recent growth and associated
increase in maintenance and capital resurfacing costs, staff is recommending the property tax
levy be increased next fiscal year to maintain equal service levels while keeping the average
McHenry household property tax rate flat.
If the City Council concurs, it is recommended the attached Ordinance Annexing an
Approximate 42.5-Acre Unincorporated Tract of Land be approved (Mayor-City Council Vote,
Simple Majority).

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 9, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Troy Strange P.E., Director of Public Works
RE: Feger’s Subdivision Annexation Maintenance Obligations
ATT: EAV Projection Table
Original Subdivision Plat
Maintenance and Roadway Geometry Considerations:
Public Works staff has examined the roadways within Feger’s Subdivision and Park Street and has made
the determination that the Public Works Department can maintain these streets to the current standard
which all other City streets are maintained and will be capable of providing snow removal services which
it has already previously performed via an agreement with the neighborhood association. There are
sections of roadway in the Feger’s Subdivision and Park Street which are of substandard width. However,
these constraints have not prevented Public Works from plowing these streets in the past. Riverside Drive
is already a Federal Aid Route and is currently plowed by both McHenry Public Works and McHenry
Township due to routing considerations.
Upon examination of the original plat of subdivision, it appears the streets in Feger’s Subdivision were
platted as streets and not as shared drives. However, the Township has never accepted them and has
considered them private. The City is under no obligation to accept these streets as City infrastructure,
but the Public Works Department does have the capacity to provide services if they are to be accepted.
Currently, the north limit of Court Street within the subdivision is blocked with bollards and disconnected
from the City neighborhood to the north. Staff’s recommendation if the roads are to be accepted as public
is that the residents of Feger’s subdivision should accept that the City of McHenry will reserve the right
complete a connection between the sections of Court Street which are currently disconnected at the north
limit of the subdivision.
Costs of Maintenance:
Given the non-capital operating costs of the Public Works Street Division, the approximate average
maintenance cost per mile for all streets in the City’s inventory is $24,000 (Street Division operating
expenses minus resurfacing capital costs/130 miles). Between the acceptance of Feger’s Subdivision, Park
70
Street, and sections of Riverside Drive to be accepted, the total length of added roadway is approximately
4,820 LF. This would equate to a demand for street maintenance of $22,000 per year. Capital resurfacing
costs which are based upon a 20-year resurfacing cycle and $400,000/mile cost equate to an annualized
cost of capital resurfacing of $18,257 per year.
Projected property tax revenues were determined utilizing the total EAV of all properties annexed
multiplied by the current City percentage. This equates to approximately $27,000 per year. This figure is
less than the combined costs of maintenance and capital resurfacing. This revenue also will not be realized
without an increase in the overall tax levy. If the levy is not increased, then the additional EAV will only
dilute the rate without increasing revenues. Other potential revenues realized by the annexation that are
generated on a population basis (income taxes, etc.) will not be realized until the added population is
included in the 2040 census. Given these considerations, it is recommended that if the roads in Feger’s
Subdivision and Park Street are to be accepted and maintained as City streets that the overall property
tax levy be increased to account for both the short-term maintenance costs and long-term capital
resurfacing costs for the roads in the subdivision.
These costs relative to revenues only consider roadway maintenance and not the cost to provide other
departmental services such as Police and Code Enforcement services.

DISCUSSION AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: June 19, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Troy Strange, P.E., Director of Public Works
RE: City Refuse Contract Leaf Collection Service Proposed Reforms
ATT: Proposed Bi-Weekly Leaf Collection Map
Flood Brothers Letter with Proposed Pickup Schedule
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff is presenting for the consideration of the City Council, proposed reforms to the leaf collection
services performed by Flood Brothers on the City’s refuse contract.
BACKGROUND:
In January of 2022, Public Works Staff released a contract proposal and scope of services for the
purposes of the City securing a new refuse hauler. The options for scope of services were prepared
for consideration and discussed in detail over several City Council meetings. The final scope of
services was recommended for issuance by the City Council and the request for proposals was issued
in January. On February 9, 2022, the City received two (2) proposals for refuse hauling services and
after staff evaluation, a recommendation was made to award the contract to Flood Brothers Disposal.
On August 1, 2022, Flood Brothers began collection services for the City of McHenry. Included in the
scope of services was curbside leaf vacuum collection services during the months of Oct ober and
November. The first contract year for the Leaf Collection program was marked with significant
operation and performance struggles for this program. In November of 2022, Flood Brothers
appeared before the City Council to give an account of its struggles and ensure the City Council that
they would be preparing operational and program reforms for the City Council’s consideration.
One of the performance challenges that Flood Brothers had was performing leaf collection services
on the same day as refuse collection services for the scheduled pickup days in the contract. As a
reform, Flood Brothers is proposing a bi-weekly pickup schedule consistent with the map attached to
this agenda supplement. To communicate the proposed mapping, Flood Brothers is proposing the
issuance of a mailer notifying residents of the schedule. This mapping can also be made available to
the public on the City website through the City’s Geographic Information Systems applications.
84
The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest
quality of programs and services in a customer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
Representatives from Flood Brothers will be in attendance to present its proposed Leaf Collection
Program reforms in addition to presenting an overall program update. This item is being presented
as a discussion item to allow for the proposed revisions to be discussed and vetted. Should the
Council find the proposed program reforms to be acceptable, staff will work with Flood Brothers to
prepare a contract addendum for approval by the City Council as soon as the addendum can be
prepared.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has performed research of similar pickup programs in the area and has determined that a bi-
weekly or monthly pickup would appear to be the standard schedule for this type of service whether
it is self-performed by the municipality or performed on a contract basis. Staff originally requested
that Flood Brothers prepare a bi-weekly pickup map that divided the City into logical geographic
halves or quadrants. However, due to the volume distribution of leaves, Flood Brothers is proposing
the attached map for consideration as it will provide the most even distribution of operational
resources. Because of the heavy distribution of leaves in specific neighborhoods that does not break
down upon any logical geographic boundary distribution, staff finds the logic behind the mapping as
proposed to be reasonable.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to work
with Flood Brothers to prepare a contract addendum for the Leaf Collection Program to be
brought in front of Council for approval upon completion and review of the addendum.

DISCUSSION AGENDA ITEM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin, Director of Economic Development
FOR: June 19, 2023, Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Discussion Regarding Amendments to the Façade Grant Program
ATT: 1. Façade Grant Application
2. Façade Grant Guidelines
3. Façade Grant Flyer
4. October 17, 2022 City Council Meeting Minutes
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
On October 17, 2022 (minutes attached) the City Council adopted a new façade grant program.
Since that time there has been significant interest in the program and staff wants to keep the
program viable and within budget. Staff believes the program should be reviewed to ensure it
can remain sustainable so as many businesses as possible can take advantage of the pr og ram.
ANALYSIS:
The new façade grant program, unlike the former grant program, is a dollar-for-dollar match,
based on lineal footage of the building facing a ri ght-of -way, alley, courtyard or the McHenry
Riverwalk. The grant amounts of the current program are $10,000 (1-40 feet), $20,000 (41-80
feet), and $30,000 (81+ feet) and are meant to be an incentive for property owners to fix up
their properties and make improvements to their facades, particularly along the Riverwalk. The
program’s boundaries include the City’s entire TIF district; Route 120/Elm Street from
Ring wood Road on the west to Chapel Hill R oad on the east; Main Street from Crysta l Lake Road
on the west to Front Street on the east and on Front Street from Illinois Route 120 south to Bull
Valley/Char les Miller Roa d. Staff also included language in the guidelines stating national
franchises and chains are excluded from this program. An initial dollar amount of $100,000 was
included in the FY23/24 budget to fund this program . The program was intended to be on a
first-come first-serve basis until the money was exhausted.
To date six gr ants ha ve been approved under the new program : three on Green Street, two on
Riverside Drive, and one on Illinois Route 120. The remaining budgeted amount for FY23-FY24 is
$34,834.50, based on an initial budget of $100,000 if all approved grants come to fr uition. The
interest level in the grant program remains high with many applications which could be
submitted at any time. Staff is concerned the budg eted amount will not be enough to meet

the demand of the businesses. Therefore, the issue is being brought to the City Council for
further discussion to determine if façade program amendments should be made so as many
businesses as possible can reap the benefits from the program.
Staff would also like to discuss the boundaries of the program , specifically, including the
Richmond Road Corr idor Shopping Centers. Many communi ties’ façade grant programs
include shopping centers and some of the centers on Richmond Road could benefit greatly from
this program. It should also be noted that there are several shopping centers within the
boundaries of the current program which can now take advantage of the program.
Staff has come up with a couple of potential solutions for consi deration to amend the program
at this point. One is to reduce the three-dollar amounts (each lineal footage ) to ½ of their
current amounts. The program would still be a dollar -for-dollar match, but instead of $10,000
(1-40 feet), $20,000 (41-80 feet) and $30,000 (81+ feet) ba sed on lineal feet, the amounts
would be $5,000 (1-40 feet), $10,000 (41-80 feet) and $15,000 (81+feet). This would extend
the viability of the current budget amount simply reducing the grant amount which could be
achieved.
Another alternative is limiting the building areas to which the grant applies. For example,
right now, if a building abuts a public all ey, park, parking area or is visible from a public right-of -
way, the frontage is included in the lineal footage calculation. This could be modified to just
the frontage on the primary right-of -way and the longer of the two frontages for corner
buildings, instead of both. It would still include the Riverwalk but would not include frontages
other than the Riverwalk if the building in question had multiple frontages, thus it would be
limited to one frontage if applicable.
Third, for future fiscal years, there could be a specified period for grant applications to be
submitted for that fiscal year . Grant applications could be reviewed and scored, and only
those grants would be funded for that fiscal year .
Alternatively, items the grant applies to for funding could be rev iewed and narrowed in scope
and exclude certain items which are included in the grant now. This would narrow the scope of
the grant. The grant flyer lists items which can be funded through the grant as well as the grant
guidelines.
Another possible solution is to narrow the specific geographic areas of the grant to a
maximum number. So far , three grants ha ve been approved on Green Street and two on
Riverside Drive. This option would place a “cap” on the number of grants/street/year.

Finally, grant awards could be divided into new an d existing busin esses. New businesses
would be allocated so much fundi ng and existing businesses would be allocated a certain dollar
amount of funding.
Staff is seeking feedback from the City Council on the current grant program, on these, or on
other potential options to amend the current façade grant program or simply leave it the way
it is currently administered .
