general familiarity with the construction industry. However, because REL has no
control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment, or services furnished by
others, or over contractors’ methods of determining prices, or over competitive
bidding or market conditions, REL cannot and does not guarantee that proposals,
bids, or actual Construction Cost will not vary from opinions of probable
Construction Cost prepared by REL. If Client requires greater assurance as to
probable Construction Cost, then Client agrees to obtain an independent cost
estimate.
REUSE OF PROJECT DOCUMENTS – All Documents are instruments of
service, and REL owns the Documents, including all associated copyrights and
the right of reuse at the discretion of REL. REL shall continue to own the
Documents and all associated rights whether or not the Specific Project is
completed. Client may make and retain copies of Documents for information and
reference in connection with the use of the Documents on the Specific Project.
REL grants Client a limited license to use the Documents on the Specific Project,
extensions of the Specific Project, and for related uses of the Client, subject to
receipt by REL of full payment due and owing for all services relating to
preparation of the Documents, and subject to the following limitations:
Client acknowledges that such Documents are not intended or represented
to be suitable for use on the Specific Project unless completed by REL, or
for use or reuse by Client or others on extensions of the Specific Project, on
any other project, or for any other use or purpose, without written verification
or adaptation by REL;
Any such use or reuse, or any modification of the Documents, without written
verification, completion, or adaptation by REL, as appropriate for the specific
purpose intended, will be at Client’s sole risk and without liability or legal
exposure to REL or to its officers, directors, members, partners, agents,
employees, and REL’s independent professional associates or consultants;
Client shall indemnify and hold harmless REL and its officers, directors,
members, partners, agents, employees, and REL’s independent professional
associates or consultants from all claims, damages, losses, and expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from any use, reuse, or
modification of the Documents without written verification, completion, or
adaptation by REL; and
Such limited license to Client shall not create any rights in third parties.
RELATIONSHIP WITH CONTRACTORS – REL shall not at any time supervise,
direct, control, or have authority over any contractor’s work, nor will REL have
authority over or be responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences,
or procedures of construction selected or used by any contractor, or the safety
precautions and programs incident thereto, for security or safety at the Site, nor
for any failure of a contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to
that Contractor’s furnishing and performing of its work. REL shall not be
responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor. REL shall have no
authority to stop the work of any contractor on the Project.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total
liability, in the aggregate, of REL and its officers, directors, members, partners,
agents, employees, or REL’s independent professional associates and
consultants, to Client, and anyone claiming through or under Client, for any
claims, losses, costs, or damages whatsoever arising out of, resulting from or in
any way relating to this Project or Contract, from any cause or causes, including
but not limited to tort (including negligence and professional errors and
omissions), strict liability, breach of contract, or breach of warranty, shall be
limited to (1) responsibility for payment of all or the applicable portion of any
deductibles, either directly to REL’s insurers or in settlement or satisfaction, in
whole or in part, of Client’s Claims, and (2) total available insurance proceeds
paid on behalf of or to REL by REL’s insurers in settlement or satisfaction of
19
Client’s Initial: ____________________ Date: _____________________
04/23
Client’s Claims under the terms and conditions of REL’s applicable insurance
policies up to the amount of insurance required under this Agreement.
Such limitation will not be reduced, increased, or adjusted on account of legal
fees paid, or costs and expenses of investigation, claims adjustment, defense,
or appeal. If no such insurance coverage is provided with respect to Client’s
Claims, then the total liability, in the aggregate, of REL and REL’s officers,
directors, members, partners, agents, employees, or REL’s independent
professional associates and consultants, to Client and anyone claiming by,
though, or under Client, for any and all such uninsured Client’s Claims will not
exceed $50,000.
The Client may negotiate a higher limitation of liability for an additional fee, which
is necessary to compensate for the greater risk assumed by REL.
INSURANCE – REL shall maintain insurance coverage for Professional,
Commercial General, Automobile, Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s
Liability in amounts in accordance with any legal requirements and REL’s
business requirements. Certificates of Insurance shall be provided by REL upon
written request.
INDEMNIFICATION – To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations,
REL shall indemnify and hold harmless Client, and Client’s officers, directors,
members, partners, agents, and employees, from losses, damages, and
judgments (including reasonable consultants’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses)
arising from third-party claims or actions relating to a Specific Project, provided
that any such claim, action, loss, damages, or judgment is attributable to bodily
injury, sickness, disease, or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible
property (other than the Work itself), including the loss of use resulting therefrom,
but only to the extent caused by any negligent act or omission of REL or REL’s
officers, directors, members, partners, agents, employees, or REL’s independent
professional associates and consultants. The indemnification commitments in
this Agreement do not include a defense obligation by the indemnitor unless such
obligation is expressly stated. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and
Regulations, a party’s total liability to the other party and anyone claiming by,
through, or under the other party for any cost, loss, or damages caused in part
by the negligence of the party and in part by the negligence of the other party or
any other negligent entity or individual, will not exceed the percentage share that
the party’s negligence bears to the total negligence of Client, REL, and all other
negligent entities and individuals. This indemnification provision is subject to and
limited by the provisions included above in “Limitation of Liability."
MUTUAL WAIVER – To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations,
Client and REL waive against each other, and the other’s officers, directors,
members, partners, agents, employees, or other independent professional
associates and consultants, any and all claims for or entitlement to special,
incidental, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of, resulting from, or in
any way related to this Agreement from any cause or causes. Such excluded
damages include but are not limited to loss of profits or revenue; loss of use or
opportunity; loss of good will; cost of substitute facilities, goods, or services; and
cost of capital.
GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION & VENUE – This Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois.
Further, the parties agree and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of the State of Illinois for all purposes regarding this Agreement and that venue
of any action brought hereunder shall be exclusively in Cook County, IL.
NON-ENFORCEMENT – A party’s non-enforcement of any provision shall not
constitute a waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect the enforceability of that
provision or of the remainder of this Agreement.
ASSIGNMENT – A party shall not assign its rights or obligations pursuant to this
Agreement without the express written permission and consent of the other party.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any permitted
assigns.
SURVIVAL – All express representations, waivers, indemnifications, and
limitations of liability included in this Agreement shall survive its completion or
termination for any reason.
THIRD PARTIES - Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create,
impose, or give rise to any duty owed by Client or REL to any Contractor,
Contractor’s subcontractor, supplier, other individual or entity, or to any surety
for or employee of any of them. All duties and responsibilities undertaken
pursuant to this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of Client
and REL and not for the benefit of any other party.
SEVERABILITY - Any provision or part of the Agreement held to be void or
unenforceable under any Laws or Regulations shall be deemed stricken, and all
remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and binding upon Client and REL,
who agree that the Agreement shall be reformed to replace such stricken
provision or part thereof with a valid and enforceable provision that expresses
the intention of the stricken provision.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS – To the fullest extent permitted by law, all causes
of action arising under this Agreement shall be deemed to have accrued, and all
statutory periods of limitation shall commence to run, no later than the date of
Substantial Completion of this Agreement.
CONFLICTS - If a conflict exists between the Agreement provisions and these
Standard Terms and Conditions then these Standard Terms and Conditions shall
prevail and control.
DIGITIAL TRANSMISSIONS – The parties agree that each may rely, without
investigation, upon the genuineness and authenticity of any document, including
any signature or purported signature, transmitted digitally, without reviewing or
requiring receipt of the original document. Each document or signature so
transmitted shall be deemed an enforceable original. Upon request, the
transmitting party agrees to provide the receiving party with the original
document transmitted digitally; however, the parties agree that the failure of
either party to comply with such a request shall in no way affect the genuineness,
authenticity, or enforceability of the document. Each party waives and
relinquishes as a defense to the formation or enforceability of any contract
between the parties, or provision thereof the fact that a digital transmission was
used.
COMPLIANCE WITH FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND OPEN MEETING
ACTS - REL and (if applicable) REL’s independent professional associates or
consultants may be required to produce documents and emails as part of the
Freedom of Information Act and Open Meetings Act (Illinois Public Act 96-0542),
or from a court ordered subpoena. Requests of this nature are beyond the
control of REL and are specifically not included in this contract. REL will notify
the Client of any request received on behalf of this contract and will invoice the
Client for time and materials at the published rates in effect at the time of the
request.
TERMS OF PAYMENT – As it applies to county, township, municipality,
municipal corporation, school district, school board, forest preserve district, park
district, fire protection district, sanitary district and all other local governmental
units, the Illinois Prompt Payment Act (30 ILCS 540 et seq) shall apply. For
Clients not covered by the Illinois Prompt Payment Act (30 ILCS 540 et seq),
Client recognizes that late payment of invoices results in extra expenses for REL
and (if applicable) REL’s independent professional associates or consultants. As
such, REL and (if applicable) REL’s independent professional associates or
consultants retains the right to assess Client interest at a rate of one percent
(1%) per month, but not to exceed the maximum rate provided for by law, on
invoices which are not paid within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.
Also, Client agrees to pay reasonable attorney and collection fees incurred by
REL in the collection of Client’s past due amounts. In the event undisputed
portions of REL's invoices are not paid when due, REL reserves the right to
suspend the performance of its services under this Agreement until all past due
amounts including services, expenses, assessed charges, reasonable attorney
and collection fees, have been paid in full. Client waives any and all claims
against REL for any such suspension.

RE: Massage Therapy Clinic Ordinance Changes
ATT: Ordinance
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The City of McHenry currently requires all massage therapy clinics to become licensed with a few
exceptions. One exception is that clinics that only employ one therapist do not need to become licensed
or pass a background check. Staff recommends deleting that exception so that we can ensure all
massage therapy clinics are properly licensed.
Our code also does not address the individual therapists. Updates to the code state that all massaged
therapists must be licensed by the State, that the City shall receive copies of the therapists’ licenses, and
that the therapist licenses must be displayed at the establishment.
The attached ordinance makes changes to make clinics comply with both of these issues.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended a motion be made to approve the attached
ordinance, Amending Title 4, Chapter 3: Adult Business and Uses, Article C: Massage Establishments
and Massage Therapists
21
ORDINANCE NO. 23-
Amending Title 4, Chapter 3: Adult Businesses and Uses, Article C: Massage

WHEREAS, the City of McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois, is a home rule municipality as
contemplated under Article VII, Section 6, of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and the passage of this
Ordinance constitutes an exercise of the City's home rule powers and functions as granted in the Constitution
of the State of Illinois.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of McHenry, McHenry
County, Illinois, as follows:
SECTION 1: Section 4-3C-3: Exemptions to Licensing, of the Municipal Code, shall be amended
to read as follows:
4-3C-3: EXEMPTIONS TO LICENSING:
The licensing requirements of this article shall not be applicable to:
A. Hospitals, nursing homes and persons holding an unrevoked certificate to practice the healing arts under
the laws of the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation, including, but not limited to, chiropractors,
naprapaths, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and physicians.
B. Any barber, cosmetologist or nail technician lawfully carrying on their respective business to the extent
authorized under a valid unrevoked license or certificate or registration issued by the State; provided, this
exemption is only intended to permit normal and customary barber, cosmetologist or nail technician services
which involve incidental physical contact, such as scalp rubs and facials, which otherwise qualify as massage
activities. This exemption is not intended to include, and does not permit, general massage activities as part of
any barber, cosmetologist or nail technician business beyond that authorized by the State license or
certification.
C. Any State registered athletic trainer who administers such athletic related massage in the normal course
of training duties.
D. Where massage services are actually performed at the patron’s premises, including the patron’s place of
business or residence, a massage therapy clinic license shall not be required for such patron’s premises.
However, a massage therapist’s license shall be required for the massage therapist performing massage
activities in such patron’s premises.
SECTION 2: Section 4-3C: Application for Massage Therapy Clinic License, of the Municipal
Code, shall be amended to renumber section 4-3C-16:Penalty to 4-3C-17:Penalty.
SECTION 3: Section 4-3C: Application for Massage Therapy Clinic License, of the Municipal
Code, shall be amended by adding Section 4-3C-16: Massage Therapists, as follows:
4-3C-16: MASSAGE THERAPISTS:
A. Employment of Massage Therapists: No person shall employ as a massage therapist any
person unless said person is a properly licensed massage therapist pursuant to Illinois law
and the Massage Licensing Act, 225 ILCS 57/1 et seq. A copy of each therapist license shall
be submitted to the City of McHenry with the initial licensing application and each time a new
22
therapist is employed thereafter.
B. Display of License: The massage business license and the massage therapy license of each and
every licensed massage therapist employed in the massage establishment shall be displayed in
an open and conspicuous place in the massage establishment or available upon request.
SECTION 3: If any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, sentence or provision of this Ordinance
shall be adjudged by any Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not effect, impair,
invalidate or nullify the remainder thereof, which remainder shall remain and continue in full force and effect.
SECTION 4: All ordinances, or parts thereof, in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent
of such conflict.
SECTION 5: This ordinance shall be published in pamphlet form by and under the authority of
the corporate authorities of the City of McHenry, Illinois.
SECTION 6: This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage, approval
and publication, as provided by law.
Passed this 5th day of September 2023.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider awarding the 2023-2024 Sanitary Sewer Lining (Joint Bid)
Program contract to Visu-Sewer of Illinois, LLC of Bridgeview, Illinois for $114,804.10.
BACKGROUND:
In Fall of 2021, the City Council adopted Water and Sewer Base Fees to fund a 10-year Capital
Improvement Program for water and sewer funded assets. This program also included $325,000
per year in funding for a sanitary sewer lining program which will be utilized to line all the City’s
aging clay sanitary sewer pipe (approximately 25 miles) over the next 20 ye ars. Included in the
FY 2023/2024 Water & Sewer Capital Budget is $325,000 for sanitary sewer lining.
The City of McHenry partnered with several local municipal agencies (Algonquin, Harvard, and
Fox River Grove) to issue a joint bid request. In the joint bid request, the City of McHenry specified
approximately 2,500 linear feet of local, neighborhood sanitary sewer mains to be lined. Public
Works staff facilitated the joint bid specifications, plans, and solicitation for bids. The project was
advertised in the NW Herald and released for bid on August 1, 2023.
ANALYSIS:
Sealed bids for the 2023-2024 Sanitary Sewer Lining (Joint Bid) Program were received on August
17, 2023. Five prospective bidders submitted the following joint bid pricing:
• Hoerr Construction, Inc. $806,970.50
• Insituform Technologies USA, LLC $969,980.00
• National Power Rodding Corp. $778,099.55
24
• Structured Solutions, LLC $592,979.00
• Visu-Sewer of Illinois, LLC $436,666.85 (Low Bidder)
Upon review, staff determined that Visu-Sewer of Illinois, LLC is the lowest responsible bidder.
The City of McHenry’s quantities under this joint bid contract yields a total contract value of
$114,804.10. As part of the bid specifications, each municipality will issue separate contracts for
the work to be performed in their City or Village. Pricing is within the FY 2023/2024 budget and
therefore, it is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to proceed with the awarding
of the contract.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended to award a contract to Visu-Sewer of Illinois,
LLC for the 2023-2024 Sanitary Sewer Lining (Joint Bid) Program in an amount of $114,804.10
(actual amount may vary based on final measured quantities). It is further recommended to
approve a construction contingency in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the awarded
contract price ($11,480.41). The final contract price will be based on final measured quantities
and may vary from the original contract amount.

RE: Amended Minutes 8-7-23

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The minutes from August 7, 2023 (the gravel pit meeting) had Jennifer Weinberg’s name down with the
information that was spoken about from Jennifer Bro wn. Ms. Weinberg notified us of the error when
she saw that the minutes stated she was in favor of the gravel pit, when in fact she opposed it.
Because the minutes have already been approved , we need to have Council approve an ame nded set of
minutes reflecting the changes.
Jennifer Brown’s name is now where Jennifer Weinberg ’s was, and a couple of sentences about what
Ms. Weinberg spoke about have been added.

Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended a motion be made to approve the amended minutes

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 5th 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 miles 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 behind 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 Brown- 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.
Jennifer Weinberg stated that she is an Eastwood Manor resident. She doesn’t believe this will
generate revenue for the City. There are too many “what-iffs” with issues with the water table
and air pollution. She warns the Council that this will be their legacy and not the other
improvements that have been made. People will remember this on election day.
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.

Discussion Item Agenda
A. Public Works Operations Policy Discussion Regarding Draft Snow and Ice Control and
Sidewalk Maintenance. (Field Operations Manager Wirch)
Three big things have changed, the routing, and the way the approach happens, they make a
plan before the event instead of waiting until dispatch, and the cul-de-sac waits until the storm
is over and then work those.
Alderwoman Miller wanted to know what tools are used referenced it should be two, her copy
had said three.
Alderman Glab thinks we need to go out and find more revenue regarding the sidewalk repairs,
to help maintain the public property that is already existing. We should be working for our
residents and making our city more beautiful, This needs to be maintained better, and the city
needs to set an example.
Filed Operations Manager Wirch talked about the plan to work on those changes.
Administrator Morefield wanted to recall if there was a line item on a sidewalk replacement,
there was one but it was voted to be taken out per Manager Wirch.

REGULAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ross Polerecky, Community Development Director
FOR: September 5th 2023 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Sign Variance for Panera, 1850 N Richmond Road
ATT: Sign application, proposed sign package
Agenda Item Summary: The Community Development Department received a sign variance
request for Panera Bread located at 1850 N Richmond Road. Staff has reviewed the request and
feels the sign package proposal falls within the McHenry Municipal code sign variance guidelines.
Background: A new free standing Panera restaurant with a drive though is currently being
constructed at 1850 N Richmond Road. Panera has already been approved for advertising signs
that fall within the limits of the sign ordinance. After these approvals staff received a request to
add additional signage to the building that require a variance.
Analysis: The current zoning for this property allows for two wall signs and one menu board.
Panera is requesting two additional wall signs and one additional menu board. The current
approved permit has one wall sign located on the south elevation and one wall sign located on
the west elevation. The variance request is to add two signs to the north elevation for an
additional 46.5 square feet of signage. Panera is also requesting an additional menu board for
the drive through that is roughly 12 sq/ft. These requests are like the recently approved
Starbucks requests. Staff has no concerns with the additional menu board, staff understands the
need for more than one board to help facilitate an efficient and speedy drive through lane. Staff
will be reviewing the current menu board ordinance in the future. The additional wall signs are
typical with large chain such as Panera or Starbucks. Staff does not believe the request are in
conflict with the variance criteria below.

Per the municipal code a sign variance must abide by the following four items:
1) will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the
vicinity;
2) will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, increase the danger
of fire, endanger public safety, or substantially impair property values in the neighborhood;
3) shall not give the property owner or business an unfair advantage over a similar business;
and
4) will not cause a hazard to the public’s safety by being dis tracting because of size, location, or
being located within rights-of-way.
Staff believes the variance requests abide by all of the criteria above and recommends
approval.
If the City Council concurs it is recommended that a sign variance be granted to Panera 1850 N
Richmond Road to allow two additional wall signs, not to exceed 46.5 sq/ft and one additional
menu board not to exceed 12 sq/ft in area.

DISCUSSION AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: September 5, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Derik Morefield, City Administrator
RE: Discussion and Direction Regarding Façade Grant Requests for Remainder of
FY23/24
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
As Council is aware, the City’s revamped Façade Improvement Grant Program has been extremely
successful, providing nearly $170,000 in grants and leveraging approximately $481,000 in private
funding for the improvement of building facades through the community over the past two fiscal
years. In FY23/24 (the current fiscal year), $100,000 was budgeted for the program and just
$6,375.50 of this amount remains with 8 months remaining in the fiscal year (April 30, 2024).
The purpose for this agenda item is to give Council the opportunity to discuss and provide Staff
with direction regarding how to process any new Façade Grant Applications for the remainder of
the fiscal year. Options may include the following:
1. Bring Façade Grant Applications before Council for consideration on a case by case basis
with an understanding that awards would require budget amendments on an individual
basis to fund requests.
2. Direct Staff to amend the FY23/24 Façade Grant Program Budget by a specified dollar
amount for use through the remainder of the fiscal year.
3. Not consider any additional Façade Grant Applications for the remainder of the fiscal year.
There may be other alternatives for consideration as well. Again, the primary purpose of this
agenda item is to provide Council and Staff with an opportunity to discuss and strategize how to
handle any additional request. As a point of information, Staff currently has two (2) applications
totaling $28,020 that have been submitted.
