Public Comment
No members of the public wished to comment during the public comment portion of the
meeting.
Chartered Transportation Drop-Off Ordinance
Mayor Jett explained that the original copy of the ordinance given to the Council has a small
change that needs to be made. Under Section 7 of the ordinance, the places that list 4-14-3 need
to be changed to 4-14-2.
Alderman McClatchey stated that the proposed ordinance is a great start in the right direction.
He wishes the state and federal governments would follow suit as people’s lives are at stake. He
is hopeful that other municipalities pass a similar ordinance, and wishes the fines were even
higher.
One member of the public stated that she didn’t understand what is proposed. She wanted to
make sure the City of McHenry would not be a sanctuary where we would house people. Mayor
Jett stated that the intent of the ordinance is that large groups of people would not be dropped
off without proper and prior notice. If people were to be dropped off, the City would work with
the McHenry County Emergency Management Agency to get people where they need to go.
A motion was made by Alderman Strach and seconded by Alderman Santi to pass an Ordinance
Amending the City’s Code Title 4: Business and License Regulations, to Create a New Chapter
14: Chartered Transportation Drop -Off License, Amending Title 7, Chapter 10: Vehicle
