CONSENT AGENDA
DATE: August 21, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: New Utility Billing Payment Company
ATT: Invoice Cloud Biller Agreement; Invoice Cloud Statement of Work; Biller Order
Form
______________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Council is being asked to consider the attached agreement with Invoice Cloud to become the new
payment site for Utility Billing payments.
BACKGROUND:
The City has been in an agreement with Paymentus to provide a Utility Billing site for residents
to be able to pay and view their utility bill since 2016. When this agreement was entered the
Utility Billing software had just been updated to Tyler Technology Incode and staff investigated
ways to allow residents to be able to view and pay their bills electronically. Tyler Technology has
this capability but was cost prohibitive. Paymentus quickly became the next best option as their
pricing was better and they could provide similar service. Unfortunately, during our
implementation time Paymentus had a falling out with Tyler Technologies and was not able to
provide the complete product that was requested. City staff worked with Paymentus and was
able to get the site up and running to where it is today and customers can view and pay their
bills. There are some issues with the site and that is why a new p ayment site is being
recommended.
ANALYSIS:
City staff began investigating a new company to provide payment services because the current
site cannot provide up to date billing information to the residents. This is an issue because
customers who login see their current bill amount as due even after it is paid. Many residents
pay their bill more than once each billing period. Also, this billing site cannot update with second
7
and final notices which does not allow residents to get a true billing picture or the correct amount
due. City staff had multiple meetings and product demonstrations with Invoice Cloud and are
recommending moving forward with a new agreement once termination has been reached with
Paymentus and Invoice Cloud is up and running with City data.
Invoice Cloud is the only other payment processing site that can use Tyler Incode data and
provide updated billing information live for residents to view and make payment. Invoice Cloud
will cost approximately $12,000 more annually than Paymentus, but the time it will save staff in
addressing payment issues will be well worth the cost. This $12,000 additional cost will be paid
by the Water/Sewer fund. It is also anticipated that Paymentus will continue to raise their pricing
as the City just received a 10% rate increase while our Invoice Cloud pricing is locked for the three
year agreement. Invoice Cloud also provides marketing materials to provide to customers to
encourage signing up for auto-pay and paperless billing which will help save on costs of printing,
mailing, and turn-offs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made to authorize the
Mayor’s execution of the attached Biller Agreement with Invoice Cloud, Inc. for Online
Payment processing for Utility Billing.

Biller Agreement
Biller Agreement Rev 5.1.5
The complete Biller Agreement includes the Biller Order Form, the Biller T+C and this Agreement
Page | 1
1. License Grant & Restrictions. Subject to execution by Biller of the Invoice Cloud Biller Order Form incorporating this Agreement, Invoice
Cloud hereby grants Biller a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide right to use the Service described on the Biller Order Form until
termination as provided herein, solely for the following purposes, and specifically to bill and receive payment from Biller’s own customers, for
Services that are referenced in the Biller Order Form. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that
no Services shall be provided by Invoice Cloud hereunder, and the Go Live Date shall not occur, until after Biller has terminated all contracts
presently in force with its preexisting payment processing vendor(s) or such contracts have expired under their own terms. All rights not
expressly granted to Biller are reserved by Invoice Cloud and its licensors.
Biller will provide to Invoice Cloud all Biller Data generated for Biller’s Customers. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Invoice
Cloud to the contrary, Invoice Cloud will process all of Biller’s Customers’ Payment Instrument Transactions requirements related to the Biller
Data and will do so via electronic data transmission according to our formats and procedures for each electronic payment type selected in the
Biller Order Form. In addition, Biller will execute all third-party applications and enter into all agreements required for the Service without
unreasonable delay, including without limitation Payment Processing Agreements and merchant agreements that may be required upon
implementation, or later at such time as the Service operates with different or multiple payment processors. Throughout the Term of this
Agreement, for “Invoice Types” listed on the Biller Order Form (e.g., real estate taxes, utility bills, parking tickets, insurance premium, loans,
etc.), Biller will not use the credit card processing, ACH or check processing of any bank, payment processor, entity, or person, other than
Invoice Cloud via electronic data transmission or the authorization for processing of Biller’s Customers’ Payment Instrument Transactions, for
each electronic payment method selected in the Biller Order Form. The exclusivity requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence
shall not apply where, and shall be suspended only for so long as, a claim or cause of action is filed against Biller that obligates or requires
Biller to concurrently utilize the payment processing services of its preexisting payment processing vendor(s).
Biller shall not knowingly or negligently: (i) license, sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit or
make available to any third party the Service in any way; (ii) modify or make derivative works based upon the Service; (iii) recreate, "frame"
or "mirror" any portion of the Service on any other server or wireless or Internet-based device; (iv) reverse engineer or access the Service; or
(v) copy any features, functions or graphics of the Service.
2. Privacy & Security. Invoice Cloud's privacy and security policies may be viewed at http://www.invoicecloud.com/privacy.html. Invoice
Cloud reserves the right to modify its privacy and security policies in its reasonable discretion from time to time which modification shall not
materially adversely impact such policies. Invoice Cloud will maintain compliance with current required Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards
and Cardholder Information Security standards.
3. Account Information and Data. Invoice Cloud does not and will not own any Customer Data, in the course of providing the Service. Biller,
not Invoice Cloud, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, and reliability of, and obtaining the intellectual
property rights to use and process all Customer Data. In the event this Agreement is terminated, Invoice Cloud will make available to Biller a
file of the Customer Data (to the extent that Invoice Cloud is permitted to provide pursuant to applicable law and PCI-DSS standards), within
30 days of termination of this Agreement (or at a later time if required by applicable law), if Biller so requests at the time of termination. Invoice
Cloud will retain Customer Data for a period from its creation for the time frame that is listed in the Biller Order under “Data Retention”, and
reserves the right to remove and/or delete remaining Customer Data no less than 60 days after termination or expiration except as prohibited
by applicable law or in the event of exigent circumstances.
4.Confidentiality / Intellectual Property Ownership. Invoice Cloud agrees that it may be furnished with or otherwise have access to
Customer Data that the Biller’s customers consider confidential. Invoice Cloud agrees to secure and protect the Customer Data in a manner
consistent with the maintenance of Invoice Cloud’s own Confidential Information, using at least as great a degree of care as it uses to maintain
the confidentiality of its own confidential information, but in no event use less than commercially reasonable measures. Invoice Cloud will not
sell, transfer, publish, disclose, or otherwise make available any portion of the Customer Data to third parties, except as permitted under this
Agreement or required to perform the Service or otherwise required by applicable law.
Invoice Cloud (and its licensors, where applicable) owns all right, title and interest, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, in and to
the Invoice Cloud Technology, the Content and the Service and any enhancement requests, feedback, integration components, suggestions,
ideas, and application programming interfaces, recommendations or other information provided by Biller or any other party relating to the
Service. In the event any such intellectual property rights in the Invoice Cloud Technology, the Content or the Service do not fall within the
specifically enumerated works that constitute works made for hire under applicable copyright laws or are deemed to be owned by Invoice
Cloud, Biller hereby irrevocably, expressly and automatically assigns all right, title and interest worldwide in and to such intellectual property
rights to Invoice Cloud. The Invoice Cloud name, the Invoice Cloud logo, and the product names associated with the Service are trademarks
of Invoice Cloud or third parties, and no right or license is granted to use them.
Biller agrees that during the course of using or gaining access to the Service (or components thereof) it may be furnished with or otherwise
have access to information that Invoice Cloud considers to be confidential including but not limited to Invoice Cloud Technology, the
Agreement, customer and/or prospective customer information, product features and plans, the marketing/sales collateral, pricing and financial

information of the parties which are hereby deemed to be Invoice Cloud Confidential Information, or any other information that by its very
nature constitutes information of a type that any reasonable business person would conclude was intended by Invoice Cloud to be treated as
proprietary, confidential, or private (the “Confidential Information”). Biller agrees to use best efforts to secure and protect the Confidential
Information in a manner consistent with the maintenance of Invoice Cloud’s rights therein, using at least as great a degree of care as it uses to
maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information, but in no event use less than reasonable efforts. Biller will not sell, transfer,
publish, disclose, or otherwise make available any portion of the Confidential Information of the other party to third parties (and will ensure
that its employee and agents abide by the requirements hereof), except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or otherwise required by
applicable law.
5. Billing. Invoice Cloud fees for the Service are provided on the Biller Order Form. Invoice Cloud's fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or
duties imposed by taxing authorities. Invoice Cloud may assess and/or collect such taxes, levies, or duties against Biller and Biller shall be
responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based solely on Invoice Cloud's
income. All payment obligations are either auto debited from the Biller Bank Account or payable on receipt of invoice from Invoice Cloud,
and are non-cancellable, and all amounts or fees paid are non-refundable. Unless Invoice Cloud in its discretion determines otherwise, all fees
will be billed in U.S. dollars. If Biller believes Biller’s bill or payment is incorrect, Biller must provide written notice to Invoice Cloud within
60 days of the earlier of the invoice date, or the date of payment, with respect to the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment
or credit; otherwise such bill or payment is deemed correct. Invoice Cloud reserves the right to modify pricing with respect to applicable fees
to be paid under this Agreement, at any time upon thirty days written notice to Biller: a) based on increases incurred by Invoice Cloud on
Network Fees from credit card processers, bank card issuers, payment associations, ACH and check processers; or b) if, during the Term, the
average credit card payment processed by Invoice Cloud for any three (3) consecutive month period exceeds 110% of the Average Credit Card
Transaction $ specified on the corresponding Invoice Parameter Sheet(s), to the extent that Invoice Cloud incurs increases in Network Fees.
Invoice Cloud, on at least 30 days written notice to Biller, may also increase any or all fees referenced in the Biller Order Form (including any
Invoice Parameter Sheets), by no more than the greater of CPI for the preceding period or 5%, provided, however, that such increase may not
apply during the first year after the execution date of the Biller Order Form and may not occur more than once per year thereafter.
6. Term and Termination. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence as of the execution date of the Biller Order Form and continue
for a period of three (3) years after the Go Live Date (“Initial Term”), and will automatically renew for each of additional successive one (1)
year terms (“Renewal Term”) unless terminated as set forth herein. “Term” as used herein shall mean the Initial Term and any Renewal Term.
This Agreement may be terminated by either party effective at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by such party providing written
notice to the other party of its intent not to renew no less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Additionally,
this Agreement may be terminated by either party with cause in the event of a material breach of the terms of this Agreement by the other party
and the breach remains uncured for a period of 30 days following receipt of written notice by the breaching party. Upon any early termination
of this Agreement by Invoice Cloud as a result of breach, Biller shall remain liable for all fees and charges incurred, and all periodic fees owed
through the end of the calendar month following the effective date of termination. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement,
Biller’s password and access will be disabled and Biller will be obligated to pay the balance due on Biller’s account. Biller agrees that Invoice
Cloud may charge such unpaid fees to Biller’s Debit Account or credit card or otherwise invoice Biller for such unpaid fees.
7. Invoice Cloud Responsibilities. Invoice Cloud represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement.
Invoice Cloud warrants that the Service will materially perform the functions that the Biller has selected on the Biller Order Form and the
Statement of Work, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Statement of Work”), under normal use and circumstances, and
that Invoice Cloud shall use commercially reasonable measures with respect to Customer Data to the extent that it retains such, in the operation
of the Service; provided, that the Biller shall maintain immediately accessible backups of the Customer Data (to the extent that Biller is
permitted pursuant to applicable law and PCI-DSS standards). In addition, Invoice Cloud will, at its own expense, as the sole and exclusive
remedy with respect to performance of the Service, correct any Transaction Data to the extent that such errors have been caused by Invoice
Cloud or by malfunctions of Invoice Cloud’s processing systems.
8. Limited Warranty. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 7, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT AND TRANSACTION DATA IS
PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS, OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED

information, or Biller has access to, creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of electronic protected health information (as those terms

of the Service, including those related to data privacy, communications, export or import of data and the transmission of technical,

Page | 8
(b) Biller must designate on the Biller Order Form (and/or subsequent to execution of the Biller Order Form as requested by Invoice
Cloud), at least one bank account for the deposit and settlement of funds and the debit of any Chargebacks, fees and costs, including, but
not limited to Network Fees and Network liabilities, associated with the Service or the Transactions (all such designated bank accounts
and all bank accounts substituted for accounts listed on the Biller Order Form shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Biller Bank
Account"). You authorize Invoice Cloud to instruct its processors to initiate electronic credit entries, debit entries, and adjustments to a
Biller Bank Account for amounts due to or from you in connection with this Agreement. Invoice Cloud will not be liable for any delays
in receipt of funds or errors in Biller Bank Account entries caused by third parties, including but not limited to delays or errors by the
Networks, payment processors, merchant acquirors or the bank.
(c) The dollar amount payable to Biller for Biller’s Transactions will be equal to the amount submitted by Biller in connection with
your sale Transactions, minus the sum of amounts due from Biller or debited from a Biller Bank Account, including Chargebacks,
Network Fees, Network Liabilities, other fees and charges referenced on the Biller Order Form and all applicable charges and adjustments.
If, however, Invoice Cloud or the processor fails to withhold Chargebacks, Network Fees or other charges or amounts due from the
proceeds payable to a Biller Bank Account (including where such proceeds are insufficient to cover such obligations), or if a Biller Bank
Account does not have a sufficient balance to pay amounts due from Biller under these guidelines, Invoice Cloud may pursue one or more
of the following options: (i) demand and receive immediate payment from Biller for such amounts; (ii) debit the Biller Bank Account for
the amount of the negative balance; (iii) reduce future settlement payments by the amount owed, (iv) withhold settlement payments to the
Biller Bank Account until all amounts are paid, (v) delay presentation of refunds until a payment is made to Invoice Cloud of a sufficient
amount to cover the negative balance; and (vi) pursue any remedies we may have at law or in equity.
(d) To enable Invoice Cloud to process transactions for the Biller, Biller authorizes and directs Invoice Cloud, its affiliates, the
Payment Method providers, and the payment processors: (1) that, with respect to any Payment Instrument Transactions processed by the
payment processor, the payment processor will disburse funds to and collect funds from the Biller in accordance with instructions provided
to the payment processor by Invoice Cloud, and as otherwise permitted pursuant to any applicable Payment Processing Agreement that
Biller has entered into; (2) that outstanding sums due and owing to Invoice Cloud, including, but not limited to Chargebacks and Network
Fees, will automatically be debited from the Biller Bank Account for such purpose on a daily or monthly basis at Invoice Cloud’s sole
discretion. Biller shall maintain sufficient funds in the Biller Bank Accounts to pay all periodic fees, Chargebacks, Network Fees and
other fees due hereunder; and non-sufficient funds for these debits, or blocking or otherwise rendering inaccessible any Biller Bank
Account, are grounds for an increase in fees, suspension of the Service, and/or termination of this Agreement.
(e) Invoice Cloud is not responsible for any Biller postings in error due to delayed notification from credit card processor, ACH bank,
and/or other related circumstances. Biller agrees to provide Invoice Cloud with timely, complete, and accurate billing and contact
information. This information includes Biller’s legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of
an authorized billing contact and License Administrator. Biller agrees to update this information within 30 days of any change to it.
(f) Biller is required to ensure that it maintains a fair policy in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and all Network rules
with regard to the refund, return or cancellation of services and adjustment of Transactions. Biller is also required to disclose any refund,
return or cancellation policies to Invoice Cloud and any applicable payment processors and Biller’s Customers, as requested. Any change
in a return or cancellation policy for the transactions underlying the Payment Instrument Transactions must be submitted to Invoice
Cloud, in writing, not less than 21 days prior to the effective date of such change.
If Biller allows or is required to provide a price adjustment, or cancellation of services in connection with a Transaction previously
processed, Biller will prepare and deliver to Invoice Cloud, Transactions reflecting such refund/adjustment within 2 days of resolution
of the request resulting in such refund/adjustment. The amount of the refund/adjustment with respect to Transactions under the Service
cannot exceed the amount shown as the total on the original Transaction. Biller may not accept cash or any other payment or consideration
from a Customer in return for preparing a refund to be deposited to the Customer’s account; nor, with respect to credit card transactions,
may Biller give cash/check refunds to a Customer in connection with a Transaction previously processed, unless required by applicable
law.
Individual users, when they initially log in, may be asked whether or not they wish to receive marketing and other non-critical Service-
related communications from Invoice Cloud from time to time. They may opt out of receiving such communications at that time or at
any subsequent time by changing their preference at http://www.invoicecloud.com/privacy.html. Note that because the Service is a
hosted, online application, Invoice Cloud occasionally may need to notify all users of the Service (whether or not they have opted out as
described above) of important announcements regarding the operation of the Service.
(g) As to all Transactions that Biller submits to Invoice Cloud for processing, Biller represents and warrants that, to the best of its
knowledge:
(1) The Transactions represent payment or refund of payment, for a bona fide transaction.

payment for effecting credits to a Customer.
(7) Biller has made no representation or agreement for the issuance of refunds except as it states in your return/cancellation policy,
which has been previously submitted to Invoice Cloud in writing, and which is available to the Customer.
(8) Any Transaction submitted to Invoice Cloud to credit a Customer’s account represents a valid refund or adjustment to a Transaction
previously submitted to Invoice Cloud.
(9) Biller has no knowledge or notice of information that would lead it to believe that the enforceability or collectability of the subject
Transaction is in any manner impaired. The Transactions, including but not limited to total due fields, are complete, accurate and in
compliance with all Network rules, applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. The Transactions are originated in compliance with
this Agreement and any applicable agreements.
(10)For a Transaction in which the Customer pays in installments or on a deferred payment plan, a Transaction record has been
prepared separately for each installment transaction or deferred payment on the date(s) the Customer agreed to be charged. All
installments and deferred payments, whether or not they have been submitted to Invoice Cloud for processing, shall be deemed to be
a part of the original Transaction.

in violation of any provision of this Agreement or other applicable agreements.

CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, FRAUD, OR OTHERWISE, OR STATUTES,
REGULATIONS, OR ANY OTHER THEORY), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT.
3.Chargebacks, Fees, Reserve Account, Etc. If Biller incurs excessive Chargebacks, in Invoice Cloud’s sole determination, or

5 referring to the encrypted card readers):
a.Invoice Cloud and the manufacturer warrants that the products provided pursuant to this Agreement will perform in
accordance with the manufacturer’s published specifications. Should a product fail to conform to applicable manufacturer’s
specifications, repair parts and replacement products will be furnished on an exchange basis and will be either reconditioned or new as
specified below. This limited warranty does not include service to repair damage to the product resulting from accident, disaster,
unreasonable use, misuse, abuse, customer’s, Reseller’s, or any other third party’s negligence, or non-manufacturer modification of the
product. Invoice Cloud reserves the right to examine the alleged defective product to determine whether the warranty is applicable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Invoice Cloud and the product manufacturer specifically disclaim any liability or
warranty for any product resold in other than manufacturer’s original packages, and for products modified, altered, repaired, maintained,
or treated by Biller, its customers, and/or any third party. Service on a defective product may be obtained by delivering the product during
the warranty period as instructed by Invoice Cloud.
b.The following is the repair and replacement policy for a defective product:

Biller has 14 business days to return a device that is not working to an address specified by Invoice Cloud on the return help desk
ticket, delivery or postage pre-paid. Failure to return the non-working device may result in additional fees and charges to Biller.
Invoice Cloud shall use reasonable efforts to provide the encrypted card reader service in an uninterrupted, continuous manner. Biller
understands and agrees that services may be periodically offline or otherwise inoperable in order for Invoice Cloud to perform
maintenance, install or test software, or for other commercially reasonable business purposes and that during such time card reader
service services may not be provided. Biller further understands and agrees that from time to time card reader service services may be
off line or otherwise inoperable as a result of the failure of equipment or services provided to the manufacturer by third parties (for
example, public or private telecommunications services or internet nodes or facilities, overall Internet congestion, unavailability of
internet services, such as DNS services), and that during such time Services may not be provided. Furthermore, Biller understands and
agrees that the provisions of any services and other performances hereunder will be excused for any of the reasons set forth herein. In
the event of unforeseen network or equipment failure, manufacturer will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Services in
a reasonability prompt fashion. Manufacturer may from time to time, in its sole discretion, modify the manner in which it provides
services, and modify its software and systems, all of which may result in a change in the manner in which manufacturer provides the
software and systems provided, however, that such modifications and/or changes do not degrade the level of, or have a material adverse

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John R. Birk, Chief of Police
FOR: August 21, 2023, Regular City Council meeting
RE: Authorization to Purchase Ballistic Helmets
Attachment s: Helmet Quotes
Agenda Item Summary:
Staff is seeking Council’s authorization the purchase 57 new ballistic helmets in the amount of $28,414.50 to replace
the existing expired helmets . Staff is present to answer any questions Co uncil may have.
Background:
Currently each sworn police offers is issued a ballistic helmet as part of the ir police equipm ent. These helmets are
fitted to each individual officers. Helmets were last issued to our officers as a full donation at no cost to the city.
Helmets, just like other ballistic equipment (vests and shields) typically have a 5 -year operational life before
expiring. The current helmets we have in service are over 6 years old and have been expired for just over one year.
Co uncil has already approved up to $40,000 in the FY23/24 Capital Investment Plan for the replacement of these
helmets.
Analysis:
Staff has sought out acceptable replacements for these expired helmets. Minimum expectations of the replacement
helmet are; high cut helmet, NIJ Level IIIA certified, minimum 5 year life before expiration, and adjustable tension
and equipment rail system mounts.
Due to the order quantity of only 57 units, competitive pricing based on quantity ordered was not an option with any
of the vendors we contacted. Staff sought out three competitive written quotes from reputable manufacturers based
on recommendations. Th e following three manufacturers provided written quotes.
Vendor High Cut Helmet Level IIIA 5 Year Life Adjustable Tension Rail System Price @ 57 Unit s
USIQ Inc. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes $18,724.50
Midwest Armor Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes $27,225.00
Hard Head Veterans Yes Yes 10 Year Life Yes Yes $28,414.50
As we reviewed all three written quotes, Hard Head Veterans stands out becaus e they offer a 10-year ballistic
warranty versus a five year warranty, doubling the service life of the equipment. If we amortize the annual cost of
the helmets to the City we find: USIQ at $3,744.90 , Midwest Armor at $5 ,445.00 an d Hard Head Veterans at
$2,841.45. With the option of a 10-year warranty Hard Head Veterans is the most competitive quote allowing the
City to double the life span of our helmets. This pricing falls well below the budgeted $40,000 for this replacement
project.
41
Recommendation: Staf f requests City Council authorization to waive competitive bidding in lieu of three written
quotes and authorize staff to purchase fifty -seven ballistic helmets from Hard Head Veterans , in an amount not to
exceed $28,414.50.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Marina Lease Renewal
ATT: Proposed Lease for the South Harbor
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The lease with All Marine Services, Inc. for the use of the harbor slips, property and buildings
expired on October 31, 2023. The following supplement and attached lease detail and extension
through November 1, 2024.
BACKGROUND:
The City of McHenry entered into a partnership with All Marine Services, Inc. for the leasing rights
to the South Harbor boat slips, property and buildings last year. The lease was established as a
guaranteed amount lease at $40,000 for the year that was not dependent on the number of slips
that were rented. Staff proposes continuing with this arrangement for an additional year as the
city works through the potential development of the property.
The current lease expires on October 31, 2023.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed lease continues the relationship with the existing tenant while also retaining rights
to the property to further the ultimate goal of redevelopment of the one of the most desirable
locations on the Fox River and a key site within the Tax Increment Financing Dist rict.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be considered to approve the
mayor’s authorization of the attached lease for the South Harbor piers, property and buildings
with All Marine Services Inc. through October 31, 2024.

Between the City of McHenry and 1325 Riverside Inc. d/b/a Whiskey
Diablo
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
An Amended Economic Incentive Agreement between the City of McHenry and 1325 Riverside
Inc. d/b/a Whiskey Diabl o (agreement attached) required the developer of the site to obtain an
occupancy permit for the subject property no late r than August 31, 2023, or the agreement
would be null and void. The developer , due to the reasons specified below will not be able to
obtain a certificate of occupancy by August 31, 2023, and is requesting an extension to
Februa ry 28, 2024.
BACKGROUND:
Dan Hart, developer of Whiskey Diablo received approval of an economic incentive agreement
to allow for sales tax sharing in an amount not-to-exceed $45,000 on November 7, 2022
(minutes attached), to assist in defraying the costs of r etrofitting a sprinkler system for a
restaurant at 1325 N Riverside Drive. On Januar y 16, 2023 (minutes attached), the agreement
was amended to reduce the capital development fees for the project.

Mr. Hart, through e-mail correspondence, has indicated that he has faced major supply chain
issues, primarily with the windows that are being completed this week. In addition, he stated
the masonry work was put off as the hired contractor had significant delays on other jobs that
in turn pushed his job off six additional weeks. While waiting for the windows and masonr y
they have completed fra ming, and most of the rough electrical and plumbing. Additionally,
they have taken delivery of the hood, which was also delayed, and are in the process of
installing the hood.
While prepping for install ing the hood, they realized the roof wa s severely compromised and in
need of replacement and the architect had incorrect dimensions and, due to this, the entire
kitchen layout had to be modified. New drawings then had to be submitted to the City for
review and approval.
Mr. Hart is requesting the date to obtain a certificate of occ upancy be deferred to February 28,
2024, which does have some additional time built in should he require it. Staff believes this is a
reasonable request given all the delays and obstac les he has had to overcome and due to the
fact that work is actually being completed at the site, and would recom mend the agreement be
modified to accommodate the February 28, 2024 date.
Of note, Mr. Hart is currently paying monthly rent for the building and, since it is not open, no
revenues are currently being generated.
If the City Council concurs with staff, it is recommended that the attached First Amendment
to the Amend ed Economic Incentive Agreement Between the City of McHenry and 1325
Riverside Inc. d/b/a Whiskey Diablo be approved.

CONSENT SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John R. Birk, Chief of Police
FOR: August 16, 2023 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Revision to Title 7, Chapter 8, Sections 7-8-1, 7-8-2 and 7-8-3 and Title 15: Fines,
Fees and Penalties Chart
ATT: Proposed Ordinance
Agenda Item Summary:
Staff is seeking City Council’s support to amend “Section 7-8-1 Vehicle Traffic Restricted, 7-8-2
Class 2 Truck Route Exceptions and 7-8-3 Penalty” of the Municipal Code by adding three
streets to the existing list of restricted street and authorizing the Chief of Police (or designee) to
institute legal proceedings in the circuit court in the name of the City against any individual,
corporation, business, or entity to enjoin the violation of any provision of this Chapter. Staff will
be present to answer any questions Council may have at the meeting.
Background:
Currently the City of McHenry restricts vehicle traffic with a single or combination registered
weight of twenty-six thousand (26,000) pounds or more on specifically listed roads found within
residential areas. This restriction is in place to prevent excessive wear and damage to City
owned roads by commercial vehicles and to ensure roadway safety in residential areas.
Over the past 24 months the City has received numerous complaints and observed increased
commercial vehicle traffic traveling on Biscayne Boulevard, and Hilltop Boulevard. This
increase commercial traffic is not delivering product to any residence in the area nor are the
exempt vehicles as identified in Title 7, Chapter 8 of the City ordinance.
Analysis:
In order to; (1) ensure that the usable lifespan of our roadways (before repair is needed) are not
effected by excessive commercial traffic any further and (2) ensure the safety of our residential
roadways and pedestrian traffic in a residential subdivision that has no sidewalks, staff is
recommended that restrictions be placed on the following roadways:
1. Biscayne Avenue from Green Street to Hilltop Boulevard
2. Hilltop Boulevard from Biscayne Avenue to Bull Valley Road
3. Bull Valley Road from Hilltop Boulevard to McHenry Avenue
77
In addition staff is recommending that under the penalty section of the existing ordinance (Tittle
15: Chapter 1) the fine amount be amended to $750 per offense and the penalty language be
amended to read:
Any person, corporation, or other legal entity found guilty of violating any provision of
this chapter shall be subject to injunctive relief requested by the City and fined according
to the Fines and Penalties found in Title 15, Chapter 1: Fines and Penalties, and be
responsible to reimburse the City for all costs of prosecution, including reasonable
attorney fees.
Recommendation:
If Council concurs, then it is recommended a motion be considered to approve the attached
ordinance (1) adding three new restricted roads to Title 7, Chapter 8, (2) approving new language
under Title 7, Chapter 8, Section 3: Penalty and (3) under Tittle 15, Chapter 1, setting the fine at
$750.00.

RE: American Legion Request for Alley Closure

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: August 21, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: McHenry Riverwalk Foundation Light the Night Event
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: The McHenry Riverwalk Foundation has been working with the City
of McHenry to coordinate the “Light the Night” event once again at Miller Point Park. They are
requesting use of the space and city assistance to host an event entitled “Light the Night” on
September 17, 2023 from 4pm – 10pm that would include music, food, alcohol, artisans/crafters
and a brief fireworks display.
BACKGROUND:
The “Light the Night” event has been hosted three times in Miller Point Park so far and each has
been extremely successful for the community, visitors and for the vendors.
Previous events have included artisans/crafters that set-up along the Riverwalk frontage and two
to three food vendors in the parking lot. The Riverwalk Foundation and the City have partnered
with All Marine Retro Rentals who currently holds a liquor license for this site to provide the
alcohol. There typically have been two to three music acts for the evening and last year a display
by Fire dancers. This year’s event is proposed to follow the same format.
The centerpiece of the event will continue be the lighting of 10 - 36” fire globes with unique
designs that local businesses have sponsored. The fire globes will have wood that will be placed
in them for the night and will be manned by Parks and Recreation maintenance staff. The globes
will be lit at dark and will remain lit for approximately 2 hours.
At the end of the evening organizers are requesting permission for a 10-minute fireworks show
over the Fox River at approximately 9:45pm.
All events will be completed by 10pm and the anticipated attendance for the event is 2,000
people.
84
ANALYSIS:
This proposed event will be co-sponsored by the McHenry Riverwalk Foundation and the City of
McHenry. It will have a very similar look and feel that that of a Thursday night City Band Concert
at Veteran’s Memorial Park except it will be located on the Fox River. It is a low intensity event,
yet one that takes advantage of the new space and draws notoriety to the city’s presence on the
Fox River.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be considered to approve: 1) a
Parks special use permit to allow for food trucks, vendor tents and live music, 2) to allow
alcohol in the park aside from the designated areas adjacent to All Marine Retro Rentals at
Miller Point Park on Saturday 9/17 from 4pm – 10pm and 3) permission for an approximately
10 minute fireworks display at 9:45pm .

FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Full Moon Market
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: The organizers of the Pearl Street Market have been working with
the City of McHenry to coordinate a “Full Moon Market” event at Miller Point Park. They are
requesting use of the space and city assistance for minor set up items to host the event on
October 7, 2023 from 3pm – 8pm. The event would include music, food, alcohol and
artisans/crafters.
BACKGROUND:
The “Full Moon Market” event would be similar to the recently hosted “Light the Night” event.
The event would be hosted in the late afternoon into the early evening culminating with the city
lighting the fire globes as we normally would on a Saturday evening.
The event would include approximately 25 artisans/crafters that would be set-up in the park.
Three to Four food vendors would also be in the parking lot. Organizers would partner with All
Marine Retro Rentals who currently holds a liquor license for this site. They would have beer and
wine available for purchase and are also request participants be able to navigate the park with
their drinks as opposed to being restricted to one area. There will be two music acts for the
event. All events will be completed by 8pm and the anticipated attendance for the event is 1,000
people.
ANALYSIS:
This proposed event is a low intensity event, yet one that takes advantage of the new spa ce and
continues to draw visitors downtown and notoriety to the city’s presence on the Fox River.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be considered to approve: 1)
Parks Special use permit to allow multiple tents at 1202 Riverside Drive (Miller Point Park) with
live music on Saturday 10/7 from 3pm to 7pm and 2) to allow alcohol in the park aside from
the designated areas adjacent to All Marine Retro Rentals at Miller Point Park on Saturday 10/7
from 3pm – 8pm.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Rejection of the bids for the Sheriff’s Marine Unit Building
Attachment: Bid Tab Sheet
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The city opened bids for the construction of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Marine Unit Building
to be located at Miller Riverfront Park adjacent to the boat launch. Five bids were received and
all were significantly over budget. Staff is re questing city council reject all the bids and re-bid the
project with updated specifications.
BACKGROUND:
The city entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the McHenry County Sheriff’s
Department in 2021 for the construction of piers and the placement of a trailer housing the
Sheriff’s Marine Unit at Miller Riverfront Park. The intent of the agreement however was to
further establish the Marine Unit presence with a permanent building that the city would build
based on the sheriff’s specifications and that the sheriff’s department would fund. Additionally,
as part of the building two single public bathrooms would be constructed. Within the agreement
the city would provide the electricity and fund a portion of the water and sewer costs at 50% of
the costs of the utilities, with the intention of a $50,000 cap on city exposure.
The Sheriff’s Department contracted with an architect and plans were completed and released
for bid. Those bids were opened two weeks ago and greatly exceeded the budget for t he project,
the bid results are attached to this document. The low bid was $927,000. At this cost the project
is simply not feasible, however after an analysis of the plans and a meeting with the architect,
there are a number of areas for value engineering options in the hopes of shaving $200K-300K
off of the cost of the building.
Due to the drastic change in plans, staff is requesting to reject all the bids, re-engineer and re-bid
the project with the future results being presented to city council at the first meeting in October.
87
ANALYSIS:
The intergovernmental cooperation of the project and the location afford a great partnership
opportunity that is already benefitting both parties. This is certainly not a concept that either
party wishes to abandon but as with any project controlling costs is essential.
New bids will be due on September 15th and reviewed before proposed placement on the
October 2nd agenda.
If City Council concurs then a motion should be considered to reject all submitted bids for
the Sheriff’s Marine Unit Building at Miller Riverfront Park, update engineering and rebid
the project for future city council consideration.

Individual Action Item Agenda
A. Public Hearing - Land Reserves Annexation Agreement Hearing and Continued Public
Comment
Mayor Jett made a motion at 7:03 PM to enter Public Hearing.
Director Polerecky spoke regarding the original meeting on June 5 th when this topic was first
brought to council. Some of the following changes were revised:
Elimination of primary crusher, an extension of sewer and water, withdrawal of all variance
requests, new hours M-F 6 am- 6 pm (reduction of hours), paved area wash station and exit
to Route 120, increased enforcement language, and increase in monitoring of the wells.
Attorney McArdle asked Director Polerecky to expand on the other additions as well. These
included: EOPC 125% these changes are reflected in paragraph 7 and page 147 electronically
along with added language in section 2B adding in no crushing greater than 5 inches, no
concrete crushing, and no recycling. These were amended to the proposed agreement.
Larry Thomas from Stanley Consultants was present at the meeting. He presented a report of
the findings from the hydrological study from the prior week, which not all have had the chance
to review. Will summarize the three conclusions and 6 recommendations and give his
qualifications for the residents to know more history regarding his expertise in his position.
The materials that are used went through the Super Aggregates and were reviewed.
The direction of groundwater NW to SW was the flow, but after looking more detailed the water
in that site could run in any direction from that site. There was some question in the direction
of the flow of that property. Several of the documents were reviewed, according to Larry
Thomas as he spoke to the residents. The hydrological study was also reviewed. The water
quality testing will result from determining which way the water is flowing.
Groundwater containments have not been found in any of the documents per any of the
McHenry current gravel pits. If not careful they can be a route to water contamination, however.
Buried tanks have the most chance of contamination.
Conclusions: Groundwater quantity will not be reduced in the mining operation, no matter what
direction the water flows it will continue that way and will not reduce the flow of the flow.
Contamination of the water is very unlikely, the management practices are important , but not a
guarantee of no contamination.

*Clerks Note- Below is a summary of speakers during the public hearing period, however, the
full comments section can be viewed through the YouTube recording of the meeting.
Public Comment:
Bob Roitbalt- Talked about noise levels, which are above 85 decimals, this kind of equipment
can be over that at 86 decimals. Home values within 3 mil es would be reduced by 4.9%.
Wanted to deny the application for annexation. Berms and vegetation should be added to help
with noise and site applications.
Nick Finia- a resident of 17 years, behind the Meyer Gravel Pit, said the noise and dust are
false, they lived it for 17 years. Talked about the hours of operation and how sometimes these
times happen even earlier. Trucks not covered in tarp, rocks falling on vehicles b ehind them,
the noises as well. Dust is out of control cannot open windows, or patio doors.
Robert Hunter- Riverside Chocolate Factory, stated that he has heard many voices and it is of
those from families and customers. Many voiced health concerns, water concerns, and others
that they have been personally hearing at his business. Would like to support their wishes by
saying “no to the gravel pit”.
Stephanie Tesnegler- Talked about the dangers of the property, talked about contamination as
well as the soil type as well as the effects of the mining.
Kathleen Schluefer- retired attorney, resident of Lakemoor. Has valid concerns regarding the
risks of the gravel pits, water supply, traffic on 120, noise, and dust will not be the same as it is
today. Talked about Planning and Zoning and how they denied this , to begin with. Talked about
violations by Super Aggregates that were public records.
Carroll Monson-30 year resident, asking the council to vote for McHenry residents, talked about
making the right choice.
Terry Kappel – Democratic precinct, the public should have the right to deny gravel pits that
are located near subdivisions, and the public should be able to make regulations that are not
near the residential areas. He is not against gravel pits and what they provide, no sense in the
middle of a residential area. Who will reclaim this site, is another issue brought to the attention.
Rhianna Brown- a resident for over 30 years, talked about the concrete drivers. Her dad used
to drive for Meyer and talked about the time he took the time to drive down there. Her dad had
a first heart attack and was told that breathing in the silica causes and then was diagnosed with
colon cancer. Remember those that will be directly impacted.

Jennifer Weinberg- Talked about living across from a gravel pit for the last 15 years, Valley
View is where her children attended surrounded by all three sides of the gravel pit. She is also
a teacher as well, stated that she has not seen any issues with dust from the gravel pit or has
heard of any issues with children getting sick. West side of the classroom with windows open
facing the gravel pit the room was not dusty.
John Gacek- resident over 50 years with family. Talked about groundwater contamination and
what is the plan that is specific to this site if there is a disaster, and who will pay for it and take
care of it.
Ann O’Connell- resident of Johnsburg, Chapel Hill Road. Her husband is sick and talked about
the fires and he could not go outside. The main concern is the air quality, and if he cannot go
outside and the quality of life. Along with the kids that go to the schools and mentioned sports
and things where kids are outside and the air quality along with the traffic.
Ginger Coull- a resident who lives close to the Thielen Pit, talked about how much noise and
dust she has experienced.
Glen Reid- a resident, talked about how he lives 150 feet from the pit. Showed everyone the
Peony Bush and how it was covered with dust. Talked about the fumes and about how the
effects happened years later.
Heather Woodward- resident 12 years, serious negative health effects on the people of
McHenry particularly those in the schools of the surrounding area. Talked about the air quality
studies and how that has not been done. Just because you do not see Silica doesn’t mean that
it is not there, along with the traffic study as well. The current land owner doesn’t have the use
for permitting a gravel pit.
Christine Layton-37 years ago, Jack would convert the gravel pit into home sites and it has
never happened. Regarding that one on the route. Talked about the noises that she experience,
the dust all day five days a week, looking out her windows to see soil, dirt, concrete, and how
her land now floods. She is a retired teacher from Valley View School and there is dust when
she went to walk out to her car. She is speaking the truth about the dust and the noise. She
recommends getting into a position where there is some control over the business owner if the
pit cannot be stopped

Paul Gurns- talked about the dust and the noise and stated that it is disappointing that this is
still a concern for the pit. Unanimously it was voted down by Planning and Zoning and is still
being concerned. Would like Jack Pease to be a good neighbor and will keep him in the word.
Penny Peterson- If you build a gravel pit around people that are already existing that is one
thing, but moving by one is a resident’s choice. Talked about a resident that has a disease from
Silica.
Chris Pry-resident and realtor. Talked about how hard it is to sell a home and that buyers are
particular about where they purchase to being with. The positive spin is not a reality with buyers.
Had buyers cancel contracts based on this risk level. It would be better to approve it for a
housing element rather than a gravel pit.
Zach Walters- Talked about how the study seems to be on the quality of the water alone. The
right thing to do is say no.
Tom Potts- Talked about the opportunity of McHenry and that this would be a good interest for
the community.
Colleen Kuraszek- the resident, talked about conditional use and if this: quoted the planning
and zoning statements.
Time Kuraszek – resident, gravel pits do not belong in the residential neighborhoods. Talked
about the 6 am and how the noises are. Showed a map of how many homes will be affected
by 470 homes within ½ mile with 1,000 people in those homes. The comprehensive plan
doesn’t mention the gravel pit.
Taylor Hill- resident, 5,000 petitioners that are against the gravel pit. Loss prevention program
for when they sell their homes at a loss value. Is there going to be a traffic program that the
1500 trucks that will occur as well, along with the safety program regarding the schools and the
crossing of the schools? How will the air quality as well as the pets and gardens ? Wanted to
know who will oversee the gravel pit and keep the promises.
Lexi DeWitt- resident 8 years, benefits only for Super Aggregates. Wanted to know how this
will help with the town. Stated that people will die if moved forward.
Luke Rose – Talked about the primary concern of health. People that live within 500 miles of
the pit cannot grow crops etc. There has been a lack of communication regarding this topic.
Sounded like a blueprint for best practices has been outlined but did not outline the health of
those. Questionable of zoning ordinances in the history of the town.

Sharon Lane- resident, also a realtor. Wanted to know if we should be digging more gravel pits,
they are not economic development they are destruction and mention global warming. This
should be for development. The county will get the fight of their lives if approved.
Michelle Anstedt- resident, mom of 3, talked about being outside and concerned about the air.
Stated that one of her children’s needs is a concern as well. The noble thing is to vote no and
stand with them against the county.
Mike Clark- a resident, and retired policeman, stated this was a bad deal, selling the land that
will not allow any benefits for the city. Vote no.
Jim Heary- a resident, would like the city council to uphold what they have been voted to do
and stand with the
Kelly Wagenor- the county stated that if it comes to the county for the people.
Dawn R- resident, concerned about the health of the people coming here from Antioch is
beyond words when it came to this pit, would have never moved here almost two years ago.
Juan Q- a resident, from Chicago, moved here about two years ago. Normally to see this occur
in Chicago when public parking was sold to a private company seemed like a good idea and
then become a bad deal. What may look like a good deal will not look good ten years from now.
Moved here stated that people would fight and want clean air and water. Hold yourself to a
higher standard, you sever us.
Gloria Vanhoff- County stated that they are ready for the fight on the county board, vote your
concise.
Kimberly Kolodzik – a resident of Dutch Creek Estates, stated that Jack Pease was not a good
neighbor to her. Talked about the current state of the area and how things were left abandoned.
Tom Floss- resident, of Wonder Lake for 35 years, lived in Volo for 7 years. Very familiar with
the gravel industry in construction but has a construction background as well. Nothing against
Jack Pease would like to talk about the West end, talked about dust and Meyer Material, and
how they used to wet down the road and dust up to Valley View Road. Weigh the short-term
gains for the long-term pain.
Jack Pease- Aggregate- Wanted to respond to some acquisitions that were mad e and
explained his stance on those. He also went over some of the benefits of having the gravel pit

To Whom it may concern,
We plan on Opening a Rita’s on the corner of 120 and Riverside. We cannot wait to be a part of the
community and plan events with the new Riverwalk Shoppes.
We hope to bring a thriving business and revenue to McHenry! Plan events, take part in events, be a
great partner for the Chamber!!
I can’t express enough how excited we are to bring this business to downtown McHenry. We fixed up a
building that was old and run down and brought new to the corner!
I hope we can receive some grant money, we would like make a back seating area also for more people
to hang out and be a part of the Riverwalk and visit the shops and events.
Thank you,
Cathy Levatino

REGULAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin, Director of Economic Development
FOR: August 21, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Vacant Building Incentive Program Application —Delight Enterprises, LLC—3319

3. Vacant Building Incentive Program Application C & R Delights, LLC—3319
W Elm Street
4. 2022 Tax Bill 3319 W Elm Street
5. Delights Enterprises LLC Vacant Building Incentive Program Agreement
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The Vacant Building Incentive Program, approved by the City Council on February 22nd of last
year, is an incentive program geared towards non-industrial buildings and is intended to provide
a five-year tax abatement from multiple taxing bodies, much like the Underutilized Property Tax
Abatement and Incentive Program. The purpose is to encourage the redevelopment/reuse of
vacant buildings.
The Program includes an application, which asks for basic information about the applicant’s
proposed project and the property. The intent is to ensure it is a legitimate project. The
abatement only applies to the increase in taxes following redevelopment similar to a tax
increment financing district. Further, there are no partial abatements. This is to prevent people
who own shopping centers, with one or two vacant units from utilizing this program to fill one or
two units.
ANALYSIS:
Since the February 22nd meeting this program has been presented to other taxing bodies for
consideration to adopt and support. To date it has been supported by the McHenry Township
Fire Protection District, Nunda Township Road District, McHenry District 156, McHenry District
15 and McHenry Public Library District.

Delights Enterprises LLC purchased, totally gutted and rehabbed the site at 3319 W Elm (former
Ryan Conway Insurance Agency) for an Italian ice and custard facility. The applicant has incurred
over $500,000 in expenses to start-up this business. Currently, the total tax bill is approximately
$5,168.62 however the proposed base abatement with all participating taxing bodies wil l be
about $3,031.55 and the City of McHenry portion is $146.30. The tax abatement from the City
of McHenry would consist of any taxes over the $146.30 following the completion of the
improvements and be for a five-year term. Once the improvements are complete and a
certificate of occupancy is issued staff will bring forward a tax abatement ordinance for Council
consideration.
To be clear, the goal of the Vacant Building Program is not to provide reimbursement for 100%
of rehabilitation/improvement costs, but only to help offset these costs. As you can see from the
analysis above, the amount of the abatement will be minimal compared to the overall costs of
improvements to the site.
RECOMMENDATION:
If the City Council concurs with th e proposed property tax abatement it is recommended a
motion by made to approve the tax abatement agreement and direct staff to draft an
ordinance approving a tax abatement on the increase in taxes at 3319 W Elm for five years
following the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for all approving taxing bodies.

Clerk's Note Alderman McClatchy Pulled this item.
Noticed that the towns around were selling the Metra Stations, wanted wanted to know
if we lease it do we own it. The Union Pacific owns it but it is leased. Union Pacific
retains a portion of the building, was curious how it was going with The City buying
outright, however this conversation had occurred at a past meeting according to
Administrator Morefield.
There is also an out clause in the agreement if something comes down the line with
this. Alderman Glab stated that the value of the property was overpriced from the

Clerk's note item pulled by Alderman Woman Miller,
Alderwoman Miller had stated that she is not in agreement with this recommendation due to
development interest in this area. Would like to see this opened to other opportunities. Also
brought up the city staffing as well.
Director Hobson did address these concerns specifically about the terms, this is something we
could consider, that there is not guaranteed storage, once the drop dead date occurs. The
Parks Department cannot run this organization, the manpower concerns and expertise as well.
Alderman Strach also spoke with what he thought the direction this was headed in, just renting
out a boat slip but would need to be a simple manor. Alderman Glab asked if research was
done and where the boaters would go after October, wanted to know what other options there
would be to help those out after leasing at the end of the season. Also inquiring if we had
access to a portable lift, it was confirmed it does belong to The City Parks Dept.

C. Motion to adopt the Vacant Building Incentive Program as proposed. (Economic
Development Director Martin)
Encourage the development of vacant nonindustrial buildings, 5 year tax abatement increment
on vacant for at least 3 years. The idea went over pretty well with staff and the discussions of
this program. This is a community effort to get some of these areas addressed.
Alderman Santi complemented Director Martin on working with this program, the more buy-in
for different taxing bodies gives more potential to go all in and working with it and would like to
see it move forward.
Alderman Glab is not in favor of this because we have to give something and then the rest of
us have to pay more taxes on those entities. Alderman McCatchey stated that this is a win for
other businesses around these buildings. Alderwoman Miller explained that this is another way
for Director Martin to help get others interested in McHenry. The discussion went on for some
time talking about the pros and cons

Alderman Santi wanted to know how long this has been around, not confirmed but sounds like ..1
the 1990's. Alderman McClatchey feels this is the incorrect time for this to be occurring with
the state of the country with inflation etc. Alderman Glab also agrees to hold off on this as well.
Alderwoman Miller wants to support the project because the money is needed here. Alderman
Harding also agrees in support of this.

a tax raise. He is willing to support on the first half but not the second. Alderman Strach wants
to provide to the residents.

REGULAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin, Director of Economic Development
FOR: August 21, 2023, Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Consideration of a Revocable and Non -Exclusive License Agreement between
the City of McHenry and 3918 Main LLC and Kuzniewski Holdings LLC
ATT: 1. Pictures of Surrounding Area
2. An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor ’s execution of a Revocable and Non-
Exclusive License Agreement between the City of McHenry and 3918
Main LLC and Kuzniewski Holdings LLC
3. Revocable and Non-Exclusive License Agreement between the City of
McHenry and 3918 Main LLC and Kuzniewski Holdings LLC
4. Permanent Easement between the Boards of Education of McH enry
School Districts 15 and 156 and Hugh James Kir k.
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff has been working with the owners of the properties at 3918 Main and 3922 Main on a
license agreement that would allow employees of their businesses to use the City parking lot at
3926 Main Street and cross over to 3922 Main or 3918 Main in the rear of the building and park
their vehicles. The owner s of 3918 Main are proposing to open a resta urant and they are
desirous of using the private all ey in between the two buildings as an outdoor seating and patio
area , therefore vehicles could not pass through the alley to park in the rea r of either building at
3918 Main or 3922 Main. The alley is located to the west of 3918 Main and the east of 3922
Main. Multiple on-street spaces will be gained on Main Street as a result of the a lley being
closed.
ANALYSIS:
The attached Revocable and Non-Exclusive License Agreement between the City of McHenry
and 3918 Main and Kuzniewski Holdings LLC (owner of 3922 Main) would allow vehicles to pa ss
through the City parking lot, 3926 Main, and use two dedicated parking spaces (licensed area)

to access parking in the rear of their respective buildings (where the arrow is drawn below). A
dr awing attached to the agreement depicts the outdoor seating improvements that the owners
of 3918 Main will be doing to their lot along with the adjacent lot at 3922 Main Street.
Properties in Question
The term of this Agreement is inde finite and may be terminated by either party, for any reason
or no reason at all, upon 90 days written notice to the non-terminating party. Provided,
however, both parties agree to only exercise their option to terminate jointly and not
individually, and the City agrees not to exercise its right to terminate before October 31, 2033,
unless the use by 3918 is abandoned.
In researching the project staff found there is a n existing permanent easement (attached) over
the west side of 3926 Main Street for the benefit of 3932 Main Street and the property at the
time Hugh James Kirk owned in 1996. This was put into place preceding the sale of the 3926
Main Street school district property to the City in 1996. Staff believed since ther e was an
existing permanent easement on the west side of 3926 Main Street the proposed license
agreement and a ten-year provision were not unreasonable. The owners of 3918 will be

1
Revocable and Non-Exclusive License Agreement between
the City of McHenry and 3918 Main LLC and Kuzniewski Holdings LLC
This Revocable and Non-Exclusive License Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered
into this June 19, 2023 (“Effective Date”), by and between the City of McHenry, 333 S. Green
Street, McHenry County, Illinois, an Illinois home rule municipality (the “City”), and 3918 Main
LLC (“3918”) and Kuzniewski Holdings LLC (“KH”). 3918 and KH are hereinafter collectively
referred to as “Licensees”).
Recitals
A. 3918 owns the building located at 3918 Main Street and KH owns the building
located at 3922 Main Street, both in McHenry, Illinois (collectively the “Benefitted Properties”).
Private parking for the Benefitted Properties is located at the rear of the Benefitted Properties.
B. The Benefitted Properties are separated by an alley which is public right-of-way.
C. Pursuant to a separate agreement between the Licensees, 3918 intends to
temporarily use the alley separating the Benefitted Properties as an outdoor patio, for use by
patrons of 3918 (the “Patron Use”). This Patron Use will block Licensees from accessing the
private parking in the rear of their buildings for their Benefitted Properties.

Benefitted Properties (the “City Parking Lot”). The City Parking Lot abuts the private parking for
the Benefitted Properties.

portion of the City Parking Lot consisting of two (2) public parking spaces (approximately 12 feet
in width) as depicted with an arrow on Exhibit A and adjacent, on the west, to the “tie-in”
reference on Exhibit B (the “Licensed Premises”) for the purpose of accessing the private parking
in the rear of the Benefitted Properties area on a revocable and non-exclusive basis, pursuant to
the terms outlined herein.
F. The City Council has determined that execution of this Agreement is in the best
interests of the City.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the promises and agreements made herein, the

REGULAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin, Director of Economic Development
FOR: August 21, 2023, Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Amendments to the Façade Grant Program
ATT: 1. Façade Grant Guidelines
2. June 19, 2023, City Council Meeting Minutes
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
On October 17, 2022, the City Council adopted a new façade grant program and on June 19,
2023, the Council discussed amendments to the program . The re has been incredible interest in
the program and staff wants to keep the program viable. Staff believes the program should be
amended 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 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.
Staff is proposing to amend the program by reducing the grant amounts as follows: $10,000 (1-
40 feet), $15,000 (41-80 feet), and $20,000 (81+ feet) limiting property owners to a maximum
of $20,000 every five years. Additionally, staff is proposing to focus a little more on shopping
centers, including Richmond Road from Elm Street to the City’s northern boundary, and
allowing funds to be utilized on an entire shopping center , such as painting and renovations but
prohibiting parking lot improvements in shopping centers from being grant eligi ble. Further,
staff is suggesting allowing franchise and chain businesses but only those located within a
designated tax increment financing (TIF) district.
To date eight grants have been approved under the new program : four on Green Street, one
on Main, two on Riverside Drive, and one on Illinois Route 120. The remaining budg eted
amount for FY23-FY24 is $6,573.50, based on an initial budget of $100,000 if all approved

Individual Action Item Agenda:
A. Motion to approve an Ordinance Annexing an Approximate 42.5-acre
Unincorporated Tract of Land in McHenry County, Illinois. (Community
Development Director Polerecky)
Alderman McClatchey asked Director Strange about the road maintenance as well as leaf
pickup. They will be incorporated with the city pick-up as well, tree trimming as well. Also
asked is what the taxes would be on average for an increase in the area from Director Lynch
would go up about $400 for a $200,000 home according to the 2021 stats.
Alderwoman Miller explained the annexation and what happens when larger plans are
halted due to those that are unincorporated. Cannot plan services when they are not part
of the city.
Alderman Glab wanted to know what happens to the roadways, per Director Strange there
is no obligation. Per Attorney McArdle, coming up with an agreement regarding the roads
will need to be reached. Alderman Glab mentioned that these comments should be revisited
if the annexation appears on the agenda in the future. Would like all these comments
discussed before this item comes back to The Council.
*Clerks Note: Many public comments occurred during the meeting, they are also able to be
viewed over the YouTube recording of the meeting.
Public Comment:
Pam Spain – a resident, of over 25 years is a happy Township Resident who owns her
septic. Spoke about the astronomic price for them to get the pumping station if needed for
the city water along with the additional taxes are also a lot for the fixed incomes of many
neighbors, stating it is forced annexation.
Steve Wagner- a resident that lives in a home that was occupied since 1955. He feels that
this choice (annexation) is being forced and states it is not making sense to many of us that
live here. This is not what they want in the neighborhood.
Carol Freund- a resident, wrote a letter representing the neighborhood that was labeled and
handed out to The City Council members. She had many concerns regarding the also
financial challenges and wanted there to be well-informed and consider tabling the vote.
John Michaels- resident echoing the statements of those above them. Very concerned
about the barrier at the end of Court Street is not wanting those removed. Worried about
traffic as well as children that could be injured due to the increased traffic.
Shannon along with her husband- a resident as well stated that they have over 2 acres and
the cost of water and sewer would cause a hardship for them as well, wanted to know what
209

other services would be provided if annexed. Also touched upon the fact that their road is
considered an alley and they are responsible for leaves and snow removal.
Tad Lester- a resident, wanted to know what benefits will be offered and would like to know
what those will be. Major Jett stated that questions are not answered during the public
comment but there could be some discussion with staff to follow regarding those.
Danielle Elward- a resident since 1957 stated that affording the water and sewer would also
be a problem for her on a fixed income being retired, also asked about what will they get
once this is annexed.
Scott Franz –a resident, stated that the real estate value is the main concern for him, has
experience in selling real estate for 30 years and knows it will affect the property value.
Mona Westfall – a resident, stated that she is very angry and wanted to know how the forced
annexation could even be legal, and that it would cause higher taxes.
Bob Thesen- Spoke regarding being on a fixed income and owning a little house because
it is what he could afford, including the taxes. Stated that additional expenses regarding this
annexation could not be afforded. There are many senior citizens that are in the same
situation as him.
*Clerks note:
A motion was made by Alderwoman Miller and there was no second the motion failed.
Discussion Item Agenda:
A. Conceptual Plan Presentation – Courtyards of McHenry Townhome Development.
Supplement provided. (Community Development Director Polerecky)
Alderman Glab asked where the visitor parking is, it is about 34 parking spaces. There are two
parking spaces in the garage as well as supported by the petitioner. Asked if there could be
more parking because there is only the ability to park two cars in the garage.
Alderman Strach commented that the project looks great, likes that it is what we need here and
also this style would be a nice addition to the town.
Alderwoman Bassi wanted to know what other exits there are besides and wanted to know if
the density could be lessened. There will eventually be easy access as well, as was confirmed
by the petitioner. She also asked what the price point would the townhomes start at, $350,000
was confirmed to be the starting price of them.
Alderwoman Miller likes the development and also thinks it is needed in town as well, not as
210

concerned about density and would like to see more parking for guests.
Alderman Santi stated that he is pretty comfortable with the project and also commented on
the parking, needs those to know that access to the east will be eventually available as well.
B. Proposed Reforms – City Refuse Contract Leaf Collection Service. Supplement
provided. (Public Works Director Strange)
Director Strange stated that Flood Brothers is proposing a bi-weekly collection, which could
lead to an addendum to the contract.
Flood Brothers took the podium to discuss the overview and the biggest challenge regarding
the leaf collection. The equipment has doubled, for the collection. They feel that the best for
the residents, the volume is not matching up as well with certain areas within the
neighborhoods. They are proposing different zones with five passes in a season starting in
October and then ending in the first week of December. This would also change the pick-up
from every week to every other week instead.
Alderman Strach wanted to know how many pieces of equipment were added, it was confirmed
they added a total of 5 pieces of equipment from 2.
Alderman Glab expressed his concerns with the lessening of the pick up for the leaves and
feels that the promise to the residents that we would pick up each week was.
Alderman Santi was reviewing the map and asking if certain days of the week where it is fanned
out, just trying to understand the concept. It was confirmed it is a volume-based decision
according to the map that was presented. He would like to review it over the next year.
Alderwoman Miller wanted to thank Flood Brothers for their services, stating that there needs
to be more communication regarding the leaves and the containers that will be taken, and
unlimited yard waste is accepted.
Alderwoman Bassi stated that her ward has a lot of mature trees, she talked with several
residents that they are not comfortable going every other week and would like to see it go as
normal and reintroduce to the contract next year instead.
Alderman Koch stated that he also agrees to keep the pick-up once a week as well.
Alderman McClatchey also agreed with the others regarding keeping the contract the same.
C. Amendments to the Façade Grant Program. Supplement provided. (Economic
Development Director Martin)
Alderman Santi asked if the area that goes west on 120 is part of the program, it is confirmed
211

Meeting Minutes

by Director Martin. He also commented that this program is working and something in the
budget that may be able to add more funds to it.
Alderwoman Miller agrees that it has been successful and feels that there may need to be a
reduction in funds for these at some point, maybe restructuring it to keep it funded.
Alderman Strach thinks reducing the amounts could help us keep it stretched out a bit longer.
Per the Administrator, Morefield wanted to hear the direction from the council regarding this.

2018 DEVEL OPMENT AND ECONOMIC INC ENTIVE AGREEMENT
In 2018 the City Council adopted a Development and Economic Incentive Agreement with
Graham Enterprise, Inc. The agreement included three properties w hich comprised the “Subject
Property”: 5301 Bull Valley Road (Crystal Lake Road and Bull Valley Road); 5520 W Elm
Street (Ringwood Road and Illinois Route 120); and 4410 W Elm Street (Office Building Site).
In the Agreement the Ow ner was required to do the following actions by the following dates or
the agreement would be null and void:
1. No later than December 31, 2020, demolish all existing buildings and structures at 5520
W Elm Street;

2. No later than December 31, 2019 , demolish all the buildings and structures at 4410 W
Elm Street;
3. No later than D ecember 31, 2019, demolish all buildings and structures and remove all
underground fuel tanks at 5301 Bull Valley Road;
4. Construct and have received a City-issued certificate of occupancy permit no later than
December 31, 2020, for a new convenience st ore of not less than 4,800 square feet and
fueling center at 5301 Bull Valley Rd.
The owner completed all of these actions on time. As part of the agreement , the City agreed to
share with the Owner a portion of the Base Sales Tax and Home Rule Sales Tax generated at the
Subject Property in an amount no -to-exceed $1,000,000 or payment until December 31, 2039,
whichever occurred first.
There was a provision in the agreement however that the 5520 W El m site would also be
included in the sales tax sharing as part of the Subject Property previously stated if a building
permit had been issued and obtained by the Owner to raze the buildings and the site at 5520 W
Elm reopened as a fueling station with a 4,800 minimum square foot convenience store on or
before December 31, 2019. This did not happen so 5520 W Elm is now excluded in th is
agreement from the definition of Subject Property to receive a sales tax incentive.
As far as 5301 Bull Valley Road, the City pays the Owner three times/year 50% of the base sales
tax and home rule sales tax collected by the City relating to the Subje ct Property in excess of
$1,666.67/month. To date, the City has paid the Owner $279.078.66 through 4/30/23.
ANALYSIS:
The Owner John Graham is requesting $1,000,000 in sales tax rebates/incentives to assist in
construct ing the station at 5520 W Elm St reet to mitigate his risk of building the stat ion at this
time. He says he is waiting on one last it em from IDOT which he expects to receive shortly and
if he does receive the incentive from the City, he will begin construction at 5520 W Elm by
October of this year and build through the winter as much as practical.
The site has been vacant for numerous years, formerly a fueling station, and Graham Enterprises
is proposing to construct a new f ueling station with a C-Store and car wash. Staff believes
$1,000,000 is an excessive amount . Alternatively, st aff is proposing a 50% base and home rule
sales tax rebate over and above $2,000/month not-to-exceed a tot al of $500,000 or 10 years
whichever comes first .
The attached agreement for 5520 W Elm contains a provision whereby the owner must construct
a new convenience store of not less than 6,057 square f eet, an auto canopy, commercial canopy,
landscaping, and fueling station and a receive a Certificate of Occupancy no later than

December 31, 2024. This is a $5 million project. The sales tax incentive agreement does not
include the car wash as that was never in John Graham’s initial Phase I plan. This is an
additional $5 million and t he car wash w ill most likely be constructed in a second phase in the
next couple of years. The sales tax incentive would be paid to t he owner annually. This
agreement of ficially removes the Ringwood Road site from the 2018 Development and Sales
Tax Incentive Agreement.
The City Council adopted an Economic Developmen t Strategy in 2011 and below are the
evaluation criteria outlined in that policy by which requests such as sales tax rebates should be
evaluated.
Evaluation Criteria
Each request shall be generally evaluated based on the following criteria.
1. Consist ency with the City’s Economic Development Plan and Economic Development
Strategy.
2. Revenue benefit to the City.
3. Level of circumstances with the property characteristics that create ch allenges or
practical difficulties regarding the development o f t he site.
4. N umber and quality of jobs produced.
5. Strong public benefit to the City.
6. The ability of the development to spur additional economic development in the area.
7. The impact of a proposed development on the existing businesses within the C ity.
8. Level of applicant’s creditworthiness and financial strength.
9. Level of compliance with approved design guidelines and development standards.
Staff believes the proposed agreement is justified due to the extraordinary circumstances
surrounding t he proposed redevelopment and the fact that there are many moving parts that make
this a somewhat risky proposition for the developer. Revenue enhancement is certainly a large
part of this development . Further, this property is a very strategic site and is located in a very
key area of the City.
Rebates should be considered very closely and, on a case-by-case basis which has been the
policy of the Cit y Council. Staff believes the positive impacts of the redevelopment both
financially, and aesthetically, and also to Cit y residents and businesses, far exceed the requested
financial incentive.
If the City Council concurs it is recommended the attached ordinance authorizing the
Mayor’s execution of an Economic Incentive to Graham Enterprise Inc. Ringwood Road
Site, be approved.

DISCUSSION AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: August 7, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Steve Wirch, Field Operations Manager
RE: Operations Policy Discussion
ATT: Snow and Ice Control Draft Policy
Sidewalk Maintenance Draft Policy
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Public Works staff is bringing draft policies for Snow and Ice Control and Sidewalk Maintenance for
discussion and consideration to the City Council. Upon such consideration and discussion , staff will
revise the draft policies accordingly and bring the policies in front of the City Council for adoption.
BACKGROUND:
Since 2019, the Public Works Department has reformed its operations, structure, and budget to
create resources for capital maintenance construction and put maintenance operations o n defined
schedules with defined resources. These reforms have led to the creation of a reliably funded local
road resurfacing program which on an annual basis is more than $2.4 million. One of the means
through which these resources were generated was through staff attrition. Prior to this process , the
Public Works Department performed maintenance tasks on a service request basis in which work was
performed largely based upon request only and not based upon a defined standard. As the transition
to this new model has occurred, staff has worked to create policies to define such standards and
implement them consistently with the concurrence of the City Council. These policies are utilized to
define each operation in terms of the following:
1.Operational goals
2.Implementation strategy and priorities
3.Standard of care or performance
4.Specific issues and types of services to be addressed
5.Operational resources
The two operations policies which are specifically being brought forward for discussion currently are
a Snow and Ice Control Policy and a Sidewalk Maintenance Policy. Each of these operations have
specific topics related to the delivery of services which are covered in detail in the policy, and which
238
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.
are called to the attention of the City Council as they are commonly brought to the attention of staff
and the City Council during ongoing operations in the field.
Snow and Ice Control Policy Items of Note:
•Driveway apron requests
•Prioritization of routes
•Standard of care for cul-de-sacs
Sidewalk Maintenance Policy Items of Note:
•In-house removal and replacement capacity is limited
•Funding levels for capital removal and replacement program
•Maintenance policy is adapted for safety/liability and not aesthetics
Based upon the feedback provided by the City Council, these draft policies will be brought back in
front of the City Council for adoption. Any significant revisions requiring additional resources or types
of services delivered will be included in the adopted policy only in the case that the resources for
delivery of services are reflected in the City Budget. If the resources of types of services are not
financially feasible at this time, then they will be reflected as such in the adopted politics. Should the
decision be made in the future to provide the funding for such resources and services, the adopted
policy will be revised and amendment adopted at that point in time.

SNOW FIGHTING PLAN
The City of McHenry’s Public Works Department is responsible for the safe flow of traffic throughout the
city’s network of streets. The City of McHenry’s current roadway system, within its corporate limits,
includes about 131 center-line miles of pavement. Due to the topography of the city, these streets include
many steep grades and open areas where snow accumulations caused by drifting is extensive. The se
conditions present some unique obstacles and are managed primarily with three (3) snow and ice control
tools:
1.Road salt may be applied before, during, and after a storm.
2.Roadway plowing is performed to remove accumulations from roadway surfaces.
These three tools may be utilized in various combinations dependent upon the variables of the storm, tool
effectiveness in each circumstance, and financial accountability.
Weather Prediction
Prediction of impending storms is imperative in the control of snow and ice. To keep staff directly aware
of a storm’s impact and evolution, the Public Works Department subscribes to a live, internet-based
weather radar service and a 24-hour staffed weather prediction service. In addition, local radar and
weather conditions are closely monitored. These types of data access are used by the Illinois Department
of Transportation (IDOT) and other local communities to provide accurate tracking of storms.
Each year, the City’s storm data access potential is reviewed and adjuste d, especially as technology
evolves. An impending storm warning will initiate the assignment of snow and ice control tools and tasks
at the discretion of the Public Works Department’s Snow and Ice Control Supervisor. Impending storm
data is also relayed to the Snow Fighters to best prepare them for deployment.
Alerting Snow and Ice Control Personnel
When weather conditions call for snow and ice control operations, the Public Works Department’s Field
Operations Manager, his designee, or the Field Operations Supervisors will coordinate the snow fighting
effort as the Snow and Ice Control Supervisor. The Snow and Ice Control Supervisor will be charged with
the responsibility of keeping pertinent records of the event, responding to calls and concerns from
residents, the Police Department, or NERCOM, and making all decisions related to storm management.
During regular, daytime working hours, the Field Operations Manager or his designee will coordinate the
snow fighting effort. Utilizing the weather prediction resources, he will track the storm as well as possible,
deploy the Snow Fighters as necessary, and provide pertinent updates to field snow and ice control teams.
Furthermore, an assigned Field Operations Supervisor will be deployed to the streets to appraise plowing
activities and monitor progress.
For those hours other than regular, daytime working hours, a designated Snow and Ice Control Supervisor
will fulfill the aforementioned functions necessary to combat the winter event. More than likely, the Snow
and Ice Control Supervisor will be a Field Operations Supervisor as each is assigned winter operations
243
5
responsibilities on a rotating shift basis. The Police Department can be field observers and notify the
appropriate shift Field Operations Supervisor. The Snow and Ice Control Supervisor will then determine if
and how many snow and ice control personnel are necessary, will contact the appropriate personnel for
deployment, and will assign each Snow Fighter to designated areas or plow routes.
Plow Routes
To coordinate snow and ice control effectively, the Public Works Department has divided the city into
eleven (11) main plow routes. Route 1 and Route 2 are considered primary routes which consist of the
city’s heaviest traveled roads. The other nine (9) routes are broken up into sections that include all
residential neighborhoods.
Each truck is assigned a specific plowing route to maintain within the city. Plow routes are balanced
according to the number of miles serviced and the time required to complete each route. This ensures
that each route is completed in approximately the same amount of time. Those routes designated to, and
serviced by, our largest service vehicles are between ten (10) and fifteen (15) miles long. Most all able
equipment is assigned and utilized, with backup units available should units break down or the nature of
the event requires additional deployment.
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) generally plows and maintains the two (2) main State
routes (IL Route 31 & IL Route 120) within our corporate limits. Counties and Townships that overlap our
jurisdiction also manage snow and ice control routes within our corporate limits. I ntergovernmental
Agreements with McHenry Township and Nunda Township are in place for certain streets for continuity
of winter operations for both agencies.
The downtown business districts in the City of McHenry are the responsibility of the Parks & Downtown
Maintenance Department; snow and ice removal is done under the supervision of the Parks & Downtown
Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee.
Plowing Policy
The goal of the Public Works Department is to clear the city streets as effectively and efficiently as possible
by utilizing an effective combination of snow and ice control methods. In the interest of protecting the
environment and controlling costs, storm duration application of deicers will be performed sparingly , and
typically only when mechanical plowing methods fail to provide desired results or when hazardous
conditions exist.
In order to maintain the safety of the street system that is necessary for routine travel and emergency
services during a winter storm event, the following snow removal priorities have been established:
• First priority is the primary snow routes. This includes arterial and main collector roadways which
connect major sections of the city to provide access for emergency fire, police, medical services,
schools, and commercial businesses or area bus routes. Based on the current weather prediction
the two (2) primary snow routes will be given early service prior to the event to keep these roads
in a passable condition for as long as possible during the onset of the event.
244
6
• Second priority is the local roadways (neighborhood and residential streets). Overnight
snowplowing shifts (non-daytime hours) will be staffed in a mode which may lead to longer route
intervals in neighborhood routes.
• Third priority is the cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets. Cul-de-sac and dead-end street service is
no longer completed with a separate shift but completed as a follow-on operation during normal
business hours.
Those streets most heavily traveled are the arterial and collector roadways and are therefore, considered
higher on the service list of priority streets. Opening a typical street consists of making one pass with the
plow in each direction. This procedure may be done on several streets before the plow returns to push
back the remaining snow accumulation to the approximate curb line. If a snowstorm is extremely heavy,
this procedure may be repeated many times before the streets can be cleared completely or “curb -to-
curb” as it is often referred.
The next order of priority is the plowing and/or deicing of the local roadways within the subdivisions.
These roads are broken down into nine (9) plow routes and are generally staffed once the onset of the
event occurs. In the event of minor accumulations of snow or ice that may only require the application
of road salt the city will be broken into quadrants (NE, NW, SE, SW). This will allow the truck to make one
pass down each city street to either center line salt or spot salt based on conditions. The final order of
priority is the cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets which will be kept open by the route drivers during the
storm, but due to the much smaller amount of traffic and the extended length of time necessary to clea r
the cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets, final “curb-to-curb” clean-up will occur as a follow-on operation
after the storm has subsided. This operation will take place during regular working hours whenever
possible. In all snow removal operations, cul-de-sacs are among the greatest operational challenges and
public relations issues.
The amount of snow, weather conditions, and the travel time required between neighborhoods within
the route may dictate the need for some modification of the plowing routines in actual practice.
Salting Policy
The City of McHenry’s 800-ton salt storage facility is located near the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 3200
Charles J. Miller Road. During the snow season, the Public Works Department utilizes an indoor storage
area at the Public Works Facility located at 1415 Industrial Drive that can store 600 tons of road salt. This
facility allows the Public Works Department the necessary reserves of salt.
In the Public Works Department’s commitment to protecting the environment and controlling costs, salt
is applied as sparingly as able, typically two to three hundred (200-300) pounds per lane mile as needed.
With the addition of a mix of salt brine and beet heat (70% salt brine and 30% beat heat) added to the salt
product, the Department has increased its ability to deal with colder temperatures, but often a
combination of tire traffic and/or sunshine is needed to enhance the workability of these treatments. For
this reason, cul-de-sacs are salted only in extreme cases. The increased ability to melt snow and ice is still
not unlimited. Salt alone is effective to fifteen (15) degrees Fahrenheit. If street surface temperatures
245
7
drop below this temperature, salt becomes ineffective. If the salt is treated with the brine and beet heat
solution, it provides the salt product the ability to be effective down to a road surface temperature of five
(5) degrees Fahrenheit. For this reason, all Public Works salt capable units can apply this solution to the
salt product as it is distributed upon the roadway.
Finite quantities of ice control materials and/or conditions that may render ice control ineffective make
for extremely difficult decisions about when, where, and how much material to apply. These decisions
must ultimately rest with the Snow and Ice Control Supervisor. The Snow and Ice Control Supervisor will
attempt to respond to all problem areas, but sufficient stores of material must be preserved for the more
dangerous hills and more heavily traveled roadways.
Downtown Business Districts, Sidewalks, Bike Paths and Municipal Lots
Snow removal and/or deicing of the downtown business districts, sidewalks, bike paths, and m unicipally
owned and maintained parking lots are performed by the Parks & Downtown Maintenance Department,
completed at the direction of the Parks & Downtown Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee.
Future consideration may be the combination of all winter operations into one (1) operation for continuity
and utilization of city assets.
Desired Results
All communities that publish a Snow and Ice Control Policy utilize the document to set a goal or standard
for their specific winter operation. In actuality, that standard is generally a measurement of effectiveness
on how quickly the roadways within the jurisdiction can be cleaned to bare pavement after all snowfall
has ceased.
Although the Public Works Department strives to clear all roads down to bare pavement and curb-to-curb,
the Department is unable to guarantee this due to extreme conditions and limits to manpower and
equipment. To that end, the Public Works Department cautiously sets the standards high but considers
current limitations. The overall goal in this Snow and Ice Control Policy is to clear all roadways (from
arterial to local roads) of all snow accumulation within eight (8) hours after the snow has stopped. This
policy dictates curb-to-curb snow removal on all roadways with an additional standard of bare pavement
on all arterial and collector roads, hills, curves, and intersections within the specified 8-hour period. Mid-
block hard packed snow, bladed to a minimum thickness, is acceptable on most local roads.
Ideally, this standard would be met every time. However, because of many uncontrollable variables, a
truly attainable result would be to meet the standard of a 12-hour completion for 80% of the storms in
any given season.
Property Damage
Throughout the course of operations of snow and ice removal, a certain amount of damage may occur to
the parkway and City property due to the plow riding up over the curb or traveling off the pavement. The
Public Works Department will repair parkway damage with the use of pulverized dirt and seed in the
spring when weather permits. If the sod is rolled back in such a way that it could be restored, this repair
will be done by maintenance repair crews. However, the responsibility of watering repairs will fall to the
246
8
adjacent homeowner. Damage to sod due to the inadvertent splashing of salt brine will not be treated by
the City.
Concerning the installation and maintenance of mailboxes, the ordinances approved by City Council are
as follows:
•The homeowner will be responsible for the repair and replacement of the mailbox and post if it is
damaged or knocked down by the snow coming off of the plow (the windrow) and not the direct
hit from the city plow. Therefore, the City of McHenry will only replace mailboxes/posts if hit
directly by a city plow. (Ordinance No. MC-16-1133, Approved September 6, 2016)
•The Public Works Department will assess the mailbox to determine if it was damaged by a direct
hit from the city plow:
o Mailboxes will be replaced or repaired with a standard rural steel mailbox unit, and posts will
be replaced with a 4x4 wooden post.
o The City is not responsible for any costs of repair or replacement in excess of $250.00 for
damage to any mailbox. All cost reimbursements of a damaged mailbox will be made only
with the presentation of sales receipts for materials used in such repair and replacement. A
Check Request Form must be completed.
o All labor or cost of labor to install the mailbox will be the responsibility of the owner of the
mailbox.
•Curbside mailboxes in the City right-of-way will be mounted on a wooden post no smaller than
four (4) inches by four (4) inches and firmly secured in the ground. Use o f masonry columns and
structures erected on the parkway to protect mailboxes such as large boulders, steel beams,
concrete or brick structures, or similar devices are prohibited. Mailboxes and support structures
will be installed within but no closer than six (6) to eight (8) inches from the edge of the street
pavement or the back of the street curb if a curb exists. The bottom surface of the mailbox cannot
be less than forty-one (41) inches and not more than forty-five (45) inches from the ground.
Curbside mailboxes and support structures cannot be installed within ten (10) feet of the point of
curvature at any street intersection.
Assistance to Private Property
Under no circumstances will a City employee be allowed to use a City vehicle to push, pull, or tow a private
vehicle. The City employee should notify the Snow and Ice Control Supervisor if there is any possibility of
a hazard. Likewise, under no circumstances should a City vehicle be used to clear snow from private or
commercial property, and no employee is allowed to use privately-owned equipment during working
hours. This includes the removal of snow from driveway aprons, private residential sidewalks and multi -
use paths.
Departure from Policy
In recognition of the possibility of unusual or unexpected conditions, the City authorizes departure from
these general policies. In extreme cases where conditions warrant, the Public Works Director in
consultation with the City Administrator or his/her representative may order departure from these
general rules.
247
9
No Duty or Right Created
The purpose of this policy is to establish goals for snow and ice control. It is not to be construed to create
any duty to any individual or entity. The policy does not provide or promise any special protection or
service to any particular individual or group of individuals. No additional rights shall be granted to any
individual or entity by adoption of strikes, equipment breakdown, weather conditions, inadequacy of
equipment, state or federal regulations, shortage of personnel, and any unforeseen, u ncontrolled, or
unanticipated acts.
SNOW REMOVAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Responsibility for snow and ice control is shared by everyone throughout the City of McHenry. The most
efficient snow removal plan requires coordination of all City personnel as well as the cooperation of local
businesses and residents.
Police and Emergency Dispatch
The Police Department and Northeast Regional Communications Center (NERCOM) perform an important
and integral role in the snow fighting operation. Their critical functions include:
•Notifying the Public Works Department when street conditions become slippery and dangerous
(especially when this occurs after-hours) and weather conditions change unexpectedly.
•Assisting in keeping streets clear of parked vehicles during snow removal.
The Snow and Ice Control Policy cannot be successful without complete coordination and commitment
between the Police Department, NERCOM, and the Public Works Department. The Police Department and
NERCOM’s commitment in assisting to ensure safer roads and motorist safety will make the Public Works
Department’s snow and ice removal operations timelier, more efficient, and that much stronger.
Public Works Department
All Public Works staff is considered an important part of the snow and ice control efforts of the City of
McHenry and all staff is expected to participate in this important aspect of public work.
Shift Supervisors
For the purpose of managing snow and ice control responses, Field Operations Supervisors are assigned
responsibility for snow and ice control events on a rotating shift basis.
During a snow event, the Shift Supervisor will be the Snow and Ice Control Supervisor and will be charged
with the responsibility of keeping pertinent records of the event, responding to the calls and concerns
from residents, the Police Department, or NERCOM, and making all decisions related to managing the
storm. The Supervisor will also be expected to patrol the city during the snow fighting operation to look
for problem areas, assist where and when needed, and stay in constant communication with the Snow
Fighters to determine progress of the snow removal effort. When a storm can be handled simply by
salting, the Shift Supervisor will be responsible for determining if and how many snow and ice control
248
10
personnel are necessary, will contact the appropriate personnel for deployment, and will assign each
Snow Fighter to designated areas or plow routes.
Snow Fighters
For the purpose of this Snow and Ice Control Policy, there are two (2) designated shifts of Snow Fighters.
The shift times are 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. When snow events occur during
the regularly scheduled workday, Field Operations personnel will be responsible to fill all snow routes with
Snow Fighters.
The period of time from November 15th through March 31st is considered “snow removal months” per the
Collective Bargaining Agreement. Prior to November 15th every year, each Snow Fighter in the Public
Works Department will be notified of his/her shift, assigned route, and assigned truck with snow removal
equipment. It may be required during certain events that personnel may need to be reassigned to another
shift, route, and/or truck to fill each designated plow route with operable equipment. Each driver will be
responsible for general maintenance of trucks and equipment and will help do minor rep airs as needed.
The Snow and Ice Control Supervisor may assign the driver to another truck if the repairs are not minor
and require too much time and effort to get the truck back on the road during a winter event.
When a Snow Fighter finishes his/her assigned area, he/she will check with the Snow and Ice Control
Supervisor for reassignment until all plow routes are completed. The snow and ice operation is a collective
effort and is not considered complete until all streets are cleared of snow, curb-to-curb, intersections are
pushed back for visibility, and all critical municipal properties are accessible.
When the snow and ice control operation is completed per the Snow and Ice Control Supervisor, Snow
Fighters shall wash the salt off the outside of the trucks, remove any trash and debris from the interior of
the truck’s cab, and make sure the trucks are loaded with salt and fuel, if necessary, for any more predicted
storms. If no further winter weather is anticipated, the trucks should be left clean and empty of salt,
making sure that the auger, spinner, and box are completely free of salt and residue and that the pre -
wetting equipment has been purged and washed as required. Once the Snow Fighter’s truck has been
stowed properly, the driver shall check in with the Snow and Ice Control Supervisor prior to leaving for
home.
Home and Business Owners
Snow and ice control policies are valuable tools adopted by Public Works’ agencies to define snow and ice
removal standards for city rights-of-ways under its direct control. However, the operation is only partially
successful if it is not supported with a cooperative effort from each resident and business owner within
the community.
Home and business owners must always refrain from depositing snow or ice from private property or
public aprons on to streets or alleys. This practice creates an unnecessary hazard for motorists and
pedestrians and costs additional expenses to dispatch drivers back into areas to remove such deposits.
249
11
Motorists and Pedestrians
The Public Works Department demands that its Snow Fighters follow all the rules of the road at a minimum
and take extra caution as conditions and situations demand. The motorist, on the other hand, may be at
the end of an already long commute and wants nothing more than to get home and not to be caught
behind a “lumbering” plow truck. Poor decisions on the part of motorists to pass, tailgate , and even cut-
off a snowplow vehicle often create considerable danger for the motorist and the plow driver. Snow
Fighters must always be aware of the road around them and be ready to defend against mistakes and
random acts of indiscretion by the motoring public.
It is in everyone’s best interest for snow and ice removal to be completed as quickly and safely as possible.
The best decision a motorist can make in a winter storm situation is to not be a motorist at all. Stay home
whenever possible until the road conditions allow for safe travel. When driving during a winter storm is a
must, please remember to use extra caution and leave plenty of additional time to reach one’s
destination; rushing in treacherous conditions is always a mistake. Motorists are asked to adhere to the
following:
•Maintain a safe distance between snow removal equipment and your vehicle.
•Give snow removal equipment the right-of-way whenever possible.
•Never attempt to pass snow removal equipment on a City roadway! The only safe time to pass a
plow vehicle is on a multiple-lane highway when there is an open travel lane to the left side of the
equipment. When passing snow removal equipment, check to make sure that the driver is aware
of your presence and that you leave sufficient distance from the equipment to your vehicle before
moving back in front of the plow.
•Do not use high beams when driving behind snow removal equipment as the bright light can shine
in the driver’s side mirror and interfere with the operator’s vision.
•Do not park on City streets overnight or when snow accumulation exceeds 2 inches.
•Residents should keep all vehicles in private driveways.
•Snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles are prohibited from being operated on City roadways and
properties. The dim lighting and erratic operation of such vehicles can easily confuse a plow driver
and presents an unnecessary hazard for all concerned.
Pedestrians, particularly children, should observe the following precautions in winter storm conditions:
•Walk during the daylight hours whenever possible. If walking at night, wear bright or reflective
clothing to stand out against the surroundings. Do not walk during blowing and severe conditions
when visibility is decreased. Stay back from roadways, use designated sidewalks and bike paths,
and where possible, use walking routes with less roadway traffic.
•Shovel snow to the right side of your driveway (as you face the street). This will limit the amount
of snow that the plow deposits in the driveway apron when the streets are cleared of snow. The
pile of snow being on the right side of the driveway will not block site lines from oncoming traffic
moving along your street. For everyone’s safety, stockpile snow as far away from the curb line as
practicable.
•Discourage children from playing on and around snow piles near the street. Backyards are the
best location for children during and after winter storms, particularly when snow removal
operations are underway.

MANPOWER AND EQUIPMENT
The Public Works Department continues to monitor and assess its Snow and Ice Control Policy in an effort
to consistently improve practices, policies, and procedures and to provide the most effective and
responsible service to our citizens.
Personnel
As previously stated in the section of this document titled Snow Removal Responsibilities, snow and ice
control operations are the responsibility of every employee of the Public Works Department, as required.
Vehicles and Equipment
Various equipment is assigned to manage the city-wide snow and ice removal effort. To prepare for the
winter season, every year during the month of October, City Fleet Maintenance personnel inspect, repair,
and otherwise prepare all snow removal equipment for service. Snowplows, salt spreaders, and spreader
boxes shall be attached to the trucks, calibrated, and tested no later than November 1st of each year.
Once all equipment has been inspected, mounted, tested, and certified as ready for operation, the Snow
Fighters shall operate the vehicles over their routes on a dry run, in good weather, to ensure that it is
ready for service when the weather turns foul. This testing of equipment typically takes place as part of
the annual snow and ice control training meeting held every October. Any equipment failures or suspected
problems should be written up and reported immediately to Fleet Maintenance via current work order
submission processes. Repairs should be initiated as soon as possible and the equipment will be retested.
Spreader Calibration
No later than November 1st of each year, every salt spreader will be calibrated, and the calibration
settings will be loaded into the current computer operating system in each truck. Calibration is essential
for controlling application rates; different materials will spread at different rates, so spreaders should be
calibrated with the material intended to be used. Each spreader must be calibrated separately becaus e
even the same model spreaders can vary widely in their performance and spreading capacity. Spreaders
operate in a very hostile climate (low temperatures, excessive moisture, and corrosive chemicals) so they
must be cleaned and checked regularly to guarantee proper operation.
For a detailed discussion of calibration and instructions on how to properly calibrate a salt spreader, refer
to the section of this document titled Use of Deicing Chemicals.
Route Marking
When Snow Fighters perform their annual dry runs, they should be familiarizing themselves with their
designated route course and looking for any potential problems that will not be apparent when the
roadways are blanketed with snow. Both rotating shift route drivers should drive their assigned route
together with the specific route’s sheets and maps and discuss the most efficient and effective method
for attacking the plow route. Any proposed changes to the route, in order of priority, should be recorded
251
13
on the route sheet and discussed with the Field Operations Manager following the dry run. Approved
changes can then be made to the route sheets and maps, only with the concurrence of the Shift
Supervisors.
Plowing hazards should be noted during the dry run, marked on the route map, and recorded in a list for
future reference by any substitute or alternate driver(s) who may need to plow that particular route. Such
hazards may include raised manholes, broken curbs, offset intersections, vertically shifted pavement,
potholes, bridge approach expansion joints, and any number of other roadway anomalies that could
unexpectedly catch a plow blade during an actual snow removal operation. These areas of concern should
be reported to Shift Supervisors for possible future correction.
Contracted Services
The City of McHenry reserves the right to contract snow removal services and/or routes if necessary.
Two-way Radios
All trucks are outfitted with two-way radios for communicating between drivers, the Snow and Ice Control
Supervisor, and the Public Works Department office during snow plowing operations.
Driver Notification
Each Public Works’ field employee is required to have a phone number on record. In the event that the
phone number is changed, it is the responsibility of the employee to notify the Field Operations Manager.
The Shift Supervisor will use the number on record to contact the Snow Fighter to inform him/her of
his/her need to report to the Public Works Facility for winter operations.
Smart Phones
In addition to trucks being equipped with two-way radios, the Director of Public Works, Field Operations
Manager, and Shift Supervisors have smart phones to enhance communication during a snow or ice event.
These devices have many different venues of communication allowing for expedited services and are vital
for calling in truck repairs from the field, requesting towing services, and communicating directly with City
offices.
Service Requests
The Public Works Department has a digital phone system with voicemail capability. The main number for
the public to contact with snow-related concerns or questions is (815) 363-2186. This number is staffed
by City Administration personnel Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Additionally, the
public may also submit requests and concerns via the City’s website under “Service Requests” in the top
toolbar. Adequate response to each request will be provided by either ensuring that the problem is
resolved or by contacting the caller/user personally to provide information relative to the concern.
USE OF DEICING CHEMICALS
252
14
The City of McHenry contracts to purchase rock salt (sodium chloride) t hrough a joint purchasing
agreement, private supplier, or other consortium as current season pricing dictates. Salt has proven over
time to be the fastest, cheapest, and most effective deicer for winter pavement management. Most Public
Works Managers agree that they “are not in the snow plowing business but are in the ‘bond breaking’
business and rock salt is the product of choice to make them successful in that venture.” In addition to
being an effective deicer, rock salt is also an abrasive that provides improved traction for vehicle tires
when applied to road surfaces.
Once bonded to pavement, ice cannot be removed by plowing without damaging the road surface or
plowing equipment. Salt is used as a deicer because it lowers the freezing point of water. I t is usually
applied in conjunction with plowing because it will penetrate snow and ice left on the pavement. Brine
prevents water from freezing into ice and bonding to the pavement. Salt must sometimes be used alone
when there is insufficient snow accumulation to permit plowing. The action of vehicle tires passing over
brine and hard snow or ice will break up surface ice and gradually move it toward the pavement’s edge.
Most ice storms and snowstorms occur between twenty -six and thirty-two (26-32) degrees Fahrenheit.
Often after the storm concludes, high pressure weather systems move into the Chicagoland area and
temperatures drop dramatically, sometimes reaching well below zero (0) degrees. Therefore, it is
important to apply salt early in the storm when it will be most effective as a melting agent and will prevent
ice and hard packed snow from bonding to the pavement. Rock salt is effective down to a temperature of
fifteen to twenty (15-20) degrees Fahrenheit and, if it is pre-wetted with a mix of seventy (70) percent salt
brine and thirty (30) percent beet juice, it is effective in melting ice down to approximately three (3)
degrees Fahrenheit. The City of McHenry has twelve (12), sixty-five to one-hundred (65-100) gallon pre-
wetting units. Additionally, the City has one (1) 10,000 gallon final storage tank as well as one (1) 3,500-
gallon tank for beet heat. These products can be mixed as needed.
The application of the liquid products (salt brine and beet juice) is done by a spray bar, directly sprayed
on the rock salt as it leaves the salt spreader and just before it is distributed on the roadway surface. These
systems utilize a chemical feed pump that is calibrated to apply the exact volume of liquid to the
proportionate quantity of rock salt being applied to the roadway. The electronically controlled hydraulic
salt spreaders that the Public Works Department utilizes have the capability to control both an on-board
pre-wet system and the salt spreader simultaneously, based on the relative ground speed of the vehicle.
Pre-wetting the salt improves ice-melting capacities in several ways. First, it supplies moisture to the rock
salt, speeding the melting process. Second, it causes the rock salt to stick to the ice, snow, and pavement
instead of being thrown off the road, thereby eliminating waste. Finally, the chemical properties of pre-
wetting products cause it to melt snow and ice at lower temperatures than rock salt alone.
The purpose of a good Snow and Ice Control Policy is to make the roadways safe and passable for the
motoring public and emergency service vehicles; however, there is a general awareness that some ice
melting products have a negative environmental impact on nearby soils, vegetation, and waterways.
Additionally, some products may also have corrosive effects on vehicles and distribution equipment.
Therefore, it is the City’s policy to consistently review its application products and rates to ensure the
253
15
highest quality of program results, while being sensitive to the effects these products may have on the
environment and equipment assets.
Spreading Chemicals
Chemicals are usually applied as soon as there is a definite indication of snow sticking to the pavement or
the formation of ice. The initial application is very critical because the promptness of the application and
the amount of chemical applied will determine if the snow will stick to the pavement. When the pavement
is wet, it may be practical to make a chemical application slightly ahead of the storm to speed the melting
process and to prevent the development of slippery conditions.
Caution should be exercised in the use of chemicals during periods of extreme temperature drops because
slush and brine may refreeze (known as “freeze back”). When precipitation has stopped, all slush should
be plowed promptly from the road surface.
Anti-icing efforts involve applying liquid chemicals to the pavement prior to the storm’s arrival. There are
a couple of ways this is done. The most common, longest lasting, and cost effective is to app ly the salt
brine/beet juice liquid to the roadway at a rate of forty (40) gallons per lane mile, utilizing a truck -
mounted boom sprayer system. This liquid will dry and remain on the pavement ready to work for up to
three (3) days without reapplication. The other way is to apply pre-wetted salt to the roadway. Pre-
wetting helps to hold the salt to the pavement; it begins working as soon as the storm begins. However,
this can only be done a few hours ahead of a storm. Both applications start to melt the sn ow as soon as it
begins and prevent the snow and ice from bonding to the pavement.
Chemical Application Guidelines
Because air temperature, type of precipitation, and road surface condition affect snow fighting
operations, the following guidelines have been instituted to assist with the decision-making process
concerning chemical applications:
CONDITION 1 Temperature near thirty (30) degrees Fahrenheit; precipitation of snow, sleet
or freezing rain; road surface is wet.
• If snow or sleet, apply wetted salt at a rate of one-hundred (100)
pounds per lane mile. If snow and sleet continue and accumulate, plow
and salt simultaneously.
• If freezing rain, apply wetted salt continuously at a rate of two-hundred
(200) pounds per lane mile. If rain continues to freeze, reapply salt at a
rate of two-hundred (200) pounds per lane mile, as required.
CONDITION 2 Temperature below thirty (30) degrees Fahrenheit or falling; precipitation of
snow, sleet, or freezing rain; road surface is wet or sticky.
• Plow snow and apply salt at a rate of two-hundred (200) pounds per
lane mile depending upon accumulation rate.
• If freezing rain, continually apply wetted salt at a rate of two-hundred
to three-hundred (200-300) pounds per lane mile.
254
16
CONDITION 3 Temperature below twenty (20) degrees Fahrenheit and falling; precipitation
is dry snow; road surface is dry.
• Plow as soon as possible. Do not apply salt. Continue to plow and check
for wet, packed, or icy spots and treat them with wetted salt
applications at a rate of two-hundred to three-hundred (200-300)
pounds per lane mile.
CONDITION 4 Temperature below twenty (20) degrees Fahrenheit; precipitation of snow,
sleet, or freezing rain; road surface is wet.
• Apply wetted salt at a rate of two-hundred to three-hundred (200-300)
pounds per lane mile, as required. If snow or sleet continues and
accumulates, plow and salt simultaneously. If temperature starts to
rise, apply salt at a rate of two-hundred to three-hundred (200-300)
pounds per lane mile and wait for wetted salt to react before plowing.
Continue until safe pavement is obtained.
CONDITION 5 Temperature below ten (10) degrees Fahrenheit; precipitation of snow or
freezing rain; road surface has accumulation of packed snow or ice.
• Apply wetted salt at a rate of two-hundred to three-hundred (200-300)
pounds per lane mile, or utilize salt treated abrasives (anti-skids) at a
rate of one-hundred fifty to two-hundred (150-200) pounds per lane
mile. When snow or ice becomes mealy or slushy, begin plowing.
Repeat applications and plowing, as necessary.
Use of Abrasives
The Public Works Department stockpiles torpedo sand for the purpose of providing traction control during
severe situations and extreme cold when rock salt and other deicers become mostly ineffective. Use of
abrasives will also be initiated should the stockpile of rock salt diminish during extended snow and ice
control operations or should suppliers of rock salt not be able to keep up with the City’s demand.
The spreading of abrasives for traction control will be kept to a minimum due to numerous problems and
hidden costs related to its use. Sand is an inert substance and will not breakdown and dissolve in the
environment. While a layer of sand may improve traction in snow and ice conditions, the thin layer of
sand left after snow and ice melts can alter the traction on the roadway surface and must be cleaned up
directly. A buildup of abrasives can smother roadside vegetation, silt up waterways, and block drainage.
The cost of sweeping abrasives off roadways and from curb lines and the time required to vacuum these
materials from catch basins tend to make their use less attractive. Therefore, for the purpose of this policy,
abrasives remain a last-ditch effort in maintaining our streets in a safe and passable condition during
winter weather situations.
ACCIDENTS AND SAFETY
255
17
Collision with Another Motor Vehicle
If an employee is involved in an accident while driving a city-owned vehicle, he/she must contact the Shift
Supervisor immediately. The supervisor should be notified of any injured victims. The supervisor will
contact the Police Department to request that the police and, if necessary, the paramedics respond to the
scene. The employee should make sure that any injured persons are comfortable and protected from
traffic; however, do not move an injured person. Reassure the person(s) that a rescue vehicle will be
arriving shortly. Do not move vehicles unless directed by the Police or a Public Works Supervisor. Write
down any details of the accident that you can remember while waiting for the police to a rrive. For
insurance reasons, do not discuss the accident with the other party. The Shift Supervisor should notify the
Field Operations Manager, Public Works Director, and Human Resource Director of the incident as soon
as possible. A complete accident report will have to be completed per the City of McHenry’s current
Accident/Injury Reporting Policy. If any parked vehicle is struck, the same procedures will apply. As CDL
drivers, Snow Fighters are subject to the City policy on accidents by CDL drivers in relation to drug testing
and procedure. This policy will be followed in any incident that occurs.
Collision with Other Objects
If garbage cans, mailboxes, or other such small objects are damaged by City snow and ice removal
equipment, the Snow Fighter shall document the occurrence and submit the information to the Shift
Supervisor at the next convenient moment, but no later than the end of the shift. Information provided
should include the address, the time the damage occurred, and an explanation of what ha ppened. If the
damage involves matters other than minor incidental snow and ice control incidents, the situation must
be immediately communicated to the Shift Supervisor.
Requests for Reimbursement
If a resident inquires about damage to his/her property potentially caused by a snow fighting effort, this
information shall be relayed immediately to the Shift Supervisor. The information shall include the
complainant’s name, address, phone number, and a summary of the claim. The Shift Supervisor will
investigate the claim, make the appropriate notifications to the Field Operations Manager, Public Works
Director, and Human Resources Director, file appropriate paperwork, and ensure timely follow-up with
the resident.
Safety
The following safety procedures shall be followed:
1. Prior to operation, Snow Fighters will always thoroughly inspect vehicles and equipment.
2. Snow Fighters shall report all mechanical problems to their supervisor immediately.
3. Snow Fighters shall obey all traffic laws and will not exceed the speed limit, will not use excessive
speed, and will be certain to stop for all stop signs and traffic signals.
4. Snow Fighters shall be as helpful and courteous as possible to those who are stranded or those
stuck in the snow. Snow Fighters shall not pass up a stranded motorist without offering some type
of assistance or ensuring that help is on the way. In an effort to ensure the safety of the motorist,
Snow Fighters shall immediately notify the Snow and Ice Control Supervisor if the situation
requires Police or Fire Department response. Snow Fighters shall not risk injury by attempting to
256
18
manually push a vehicle out of the road. Snow Fighters shall never use a City vehicle to push or
pull a privately-owned vehicle that has become stuck or stranded.
5.Plowing speeds shall not exceed fifteen to twenty (15-20) miles per hour. Twenty-five (25) miles
per hour is allowed on outskirt streets away from residences. Plowing speed along the curb should
be reduced to ten (10) miles per hour. Salt spreading speed should not exceed twenty (20) miles
per hour. Driver performance must ensure the safety of the public and the diligent minimization
of potential damage to City equipment.
6.As a matter of policy, no Public Works snow and ice control driver shall drive for more than sixteen
(16) hours without at least eight (8) hours off of work.
Drug and Alcohol Testing Procedures
Drug and Alcohol testing is performed per the City’s current Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy.

Operation Definition & Purpose
The City of McHenry’s Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of concrete sidewalks
for pedestrian travel within the City’s right of ways and the maintenance of concrete curbs which support
closed drainage systems. Concrete sidewalks allow for safe pedestrian travel and are maintained in order
to continue their functionality and to reduce risks to pedestrians due to dangerous sidewalk conditions.
Concrete curbs are maintained in order to preserve their functionality and support the carrying of surface
runoff to drainage structures connected to closed drainage systems.
Description of Assets
The City of McHenry maintains and operates approximately 125 centerline miles of roadway, all of which
are contained within a dedicated right of way. Approximately 70 centerline miles of this roadway include
concrete sidewalk which equates to approximately 3,000,000 square feet of sidewalk in the City ’s
inventory. Approximately 80 centerline miles of this roadway include concrete curb and gutter which
equates to approximately 160 miles or 845,000 lineal feet of concrete curb and gutter. Additionally, there
are approximately 1,730 sidewalk ramps which either have been upgraded or will need to be upgraded to
ADA compliance at some point in their service life.
Purpose, Goals & Implications
The primary purpose of the City’s maintenance operations for concrete sidewalks is to allow for safe
passage of pedestrians through City right of ways. Unsafe sidewalk conditions prohibit the ability of
pedestrians to safely travel and create a risk of a financial claim to the City of McHenry. The operation is
run with the goal of minimizing critical sidewalk conditions and minimizing the number of claims against
the City due to such conditions. It is crucial for the City to have a policy in place in order to confirm its own
due diligence in the case of any claim related to a sidewalk condition.
The sidewalk inventory shall be continually evaluated through staff monitoring and consulted condition
assessments to identify conditions o f concern. These identified conditions shall be addressed accordingly
and in manners consistent with City codes and ordinances, Federal and State standards, as well as other
industry standards.
The primary purpose of the City’s maintenance operations for concrete curb and gutter shall be performed
in order to retain function of the closed drainage systems and to keep the systems clean, flowing, and
operable. Non-functional curbs do not properly carry surface runoff which leads to deterioration of
infrastructure due to insufficient drainage.
Poorly maintained concrete curb and sidewalk infrastructure lead to negative public perception .
Therefore, the City’s Sidewalk and Curb Policy sets the goals and standards for this maintenance operation
performed by the Public Works Department.

Standards of Service
Operational Resources
Concrete sidewalk and concrete curb maintenance work is performed by the Public Works Department’s
Field Operations Division. This Division includes Street and Utility employees and is made up of a staff of
15 maintenance workers. The following City-owned equipment is used to perform projects such as curb
and sidewalk replacement, sidewalk grinding, ADA ramp replacement, and other miscellaneous concrete
work:
•Backhoes – 3 each
•Front End Loaders – 2 each
•Skid Loader – 1 each
•Dump Trucks – City Fleet
•Mini Excavator – 1 each
Strategy for Implementation of Level of Service
In order to maintain the desired level of service for the maintenance of concrete sidewalks and curbs in
the City of McHenry, the Public Works Department will undertake the following operations:
1.Consult a sidewalk survey to be completed every 2 years which will identify and prioritize critical
conditions to be addressed by Public Works operations and/or Capital Projects.
a.Sidewalk locations identified in the survey which warrant replacement will be spot
replaced as soon as possible and other locations which are identified outside of the survey
will be replaced as needed and on an annual basis.
b.Sidewalk locations identified in the survey which do not warrant replacement will be
ground through an annual grinding and cutting program, and locations which are
identified outside of the survey will be ground on an as needed basis outside of the annual
program.
2.Staff and City Council will strive to fund a sidewalk and curb replacement program which
addresses deficient sections of curb and sidewalk on an annually scheduled basis.
3.A log of claims made by residents due to deficient locations will be kept for history, budgeting,
and planning purposes. Concrete curb and sidewalk projects will not be completed solely because
of a resident or business request but rather based upon a determination made by staff.
4.Curbs will be evaluated in conjunction with the City’s annual road program and citizen requests.
If deemed necessary, curb removal and replacement or ot her acceptable means (i.e., shotcrete)
will be done prior to or in conjunction with the City’s road program. Individual requests for curb
removal and replacement that are necessary will be performed as part of the Field Operations
Division’s daily operations.
262

5.Concrete sidewalk ramps shall be continually improved to ADA compliance when a capital
resurfacing or reconstruction project of the adjacent street is completed. Spot replacement and
upgrades of sidewalk ramps will be completed “in house” on a case-by-case basis.
6.Following an individual request for service after a damage or injury claim, an investigation will be
done using the City’s Sidewalk Accident Investigation form (attached).
Operational Evaluation & Addressing of Service Shortfalls
As all maintenance operations require continual systematic analysis and reevaluation of performance, the
Public Works Department will conduct an annual performance review of this operation and report on this
review to City Council. Should shortfalls in performance or operational resources be identified through
the conducting of this review and presentation to City Council, such shortfalls will be address ed either
through reforms to the operation or addressing of resources. If resources are not available to meet
identified levels of service goals, these desired levels of service may be reevaluated and adjusted
accordingly.
Maintenance Conditions to be Addressed
Panel Differential
Panel Differential or uneven sidewalk panels that exceed 1” (one inch) or greater will be ground, cut or
replaced based on severity and condition of adjacent sidewalk panels. Any sidewalk panels that include
ramps will be replaced in compliance with ADA standards.
Settlement Adjacent to Structures
Concrete that has settled adjacent to structures such as storm sewer, sanitary sewer manholes, and water
valve vaults due to the natural compacting of the earth will be removed and replaced by the City of
McHenry.
Private Concrete Permit Process
If a resident or private business decides to replace any sidewalk in the City’s right-of-way, they shall follow
the permitting process outlined in the City of McHenry Code of Ordinances, Chapter 1, Section 8-1-2:
Construction Permits. The City of McHenry construction details and ADA compliance shall be adhered to.
Standing Water on Sidewalks
After rain events, water may remain in areas on sidewalks for a duration determined by how saturated
the ground may be. In the spring when the snow melts, water may also remain in areas on sidewalks if
the ground is still in a frozen state. This may lead to the water refreezing on the sidewalk due to
temperatures dropping back to below freezing. When the freezing of water on concrete sidewalks occurs,
it can be melted by applying salt. If water stands on a section of sidewalk for a prolonged period of time,
the Public Works Department will evaluate the situation and determine if a remedy exists.
263

Tree Removal and Trim/Prune Operations
When homeowners have trees trimmed/pruned or removed, this operation may require large equipment
to access private property. In the event that a piece of equipment or large limb causes damage to City
sidewalk or curb, it will the homeowner’s sole responsibility to have any concrete damage repaired and
landscape restored to the City of McHenry standards.
Driveway Aprons
Driveway aprons, while constructed in the right-of-way, are the responsibility of the property owner to
maintain. The City of McHenry is not responsible for the replacement of deteriorated, cracked, or uneven
driveway aprons. When the City is required to remove the driveway apron for a utility repair of City-
owned facilities, the City of McHenry or its Contractor will replace the removed section after the necessary
repairs are completed. When curb repairs are deemed necessary and partial removal of the driveway
apron is required, only the removed section of the driveway apron will be replaced. The City of McHenry
will not be responsible to cut or replace the mountable curbs in place throughout City neighborhoods at
the end of driveways. If a property owner chooses to replace his/her driveway apron and/or mountable
curb, the property owner may do so at his/her own expense and is required to secure a permit through
the City of McHenry.
Common Curb Conditions and Causes
Some common curb conditions include but are not limited to:
o Cracking: Resulting from one or a combination of factors, such as drying shrinkage, thermal
contraction, subgrade settlement, and applied loads.
o Crazing: A network pattern of fine cracks that do not penetrate much below the surface caused
by minor surface shrinkage.
o Delamination: Similar to blisters caused by finishing the surface before bleeding has occurred.
o Scaling/Spalling: Scaling is generally the loss of surface mortar exposed to freezing and thawing.
Spalling is a deeper surface defect and often caused by pressure or expansion within the concrete.

Sidewalk Accident
Investigation Form
PRESERVING EVIDENCE
An investigation of the case needs to be performed
immediately following the initial intake. The
location where the fall took place needs to be
visited informally and photographed. It may also be
appropriate to take video of the premises in the
event the location changes, which often occurs.
You should personally visit the site yourself.
Preservation of the evidence scene is critical, and
you cannot always anticipate what might need to be
photographed until you have visited the site. If you
send someone in your place and they miss
something, it may be lost forever, harming our
chances of a successful outcome.
Having someone else with you during the initial visit
to the scene is important because they can take
measurements, pictures, or offer you a different
perspective at the site and later use that
information at deposition and trial. Collecting the
evidence on your own can be troublesome because
it could lead to a request for your deposition or
testimony at trial.
PICTURE DOCUMENTATION
The following series of pictures should be taken:
_____ 1. A close-up picture from the side of the full
measurement (top to bottom) (Picture 1);
_____ 2. A picture taken from 4 feet from the
direction the person claimed they were
headed (Picture 2);
_____ 3. A picture taken from 16 - 20 feet from the
direction the person claimed they were
headed (Picture 3);
_____ 4. A picture taken from 4 feet from the
opposite direction the person claimed
they were headed;
_____ 5. A picture taken from 16 - 20 feet from the
opposite the direction the person claimed
they were headed (Picture 4);
_____ 6. A picture taken from across the street
(Picture 5);
_____ 7. A picture taken from the grass side
showing the measurement; (Picture 6)
PRESERVING WITNESS ACCOUNTS
If there are witnesses to the fall or to the conditions
of the location of the fall, they need to be located
and interviewed immediately. Oftentimes it seems
that there was no one at the scene that witnessed
the person’s fall. In those situations, there are still
multiple “witnesses” that may be helpful to your
case.
Though you will be going to the site immediately to
investigate, it is important to go back to the site at
the specific time that the complainants fell. For
example, if the person indicates that they fell at 7:30
p.m. on a Tuesday. You should go to the site at that
time to look at, document, and take pictures of the
lighting (was it dark or light, was there a street light,
take pictures again under those conditions). Look
around the neighborhood and see if anyone is out
on their porches or walking around. Ask them if
they saw anything that occurred. When you go back
on a specific night (Tuesday) repeat those steps.
