AGENDA ITEM
DATE: June 3, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Deputy Clerk Monte Johnson
RE: Renewal of Comcast Cable Franchise Agreement
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The purpose of this agenda item is for a Public Hearing, followed by Council Action, for the
renewal of the Cable Television Franchise Agreement between the City of McHenry and
Comcast.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City and Comcast have an existing 5-year cable franchise agreement that is expiring on June
30, 2024. A new 5-year cable franchise agreement is being proposed at this time, requiring a
public hearing to be followed by City Council approval.
The agreement has been reviewed by Attorney McArdle. The terms of the agreement are not
changing. The 5% franchise fee on gross revenue that the City receives is the maximum
allowable by federal statute. This equates to approximately $340,000 in annual General Fund
revenue; this amount fluctuates based on variables such as the number of Comcast subscribers
and the cost of the service.
RECOMMENDATION:
A motion to pass An Ordinance authorizing the renewal and execution of a cable television
franchise agreement between the City of McHenry and Comcast, following the close of the
Public Hearing.

RE: Block Party Request
ATT: Application, Map
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
An application has been submitted by Victor Santi for the purpose of holding a block party on
Saturday, September 28, between noon and 6:00 p.m. They are requesting closure of the
portion of Dale Street as shown on the attached map.
Background:
The City of McHenry allows block parties on all residential streets providing they do not block
intersections, cul-de-sacs, or other roadways. To schedule a block party, City residents submit
an application to the City Administrator’s office. There is no fee for the permit. Once approved,
only moveable barriers (sawhorses) that are dropped off and picked up by Public Works can be
used to control traffic. Blocking streets with vehicles is prohibited.
Please note that all residents will have full access to their driveways for the duration of the
block party.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended a motion be made to approve the block
party request on Dale Street on September 28, 2024. Public Works will provide barricades
and the McHenry Township Fire Protection District and Police Department will be notified of
the event.

Executive
Summary
Come see our vison with us!
Mission
To provide an elevated space
for families, friends and co-
workers to socialize after
hours
PAGE 2
Vision
To become a staple location
for residents to have fun after
dinner or after work.
The Space
The Riverside lounge is a place for residents of our community to
socialize, play arcade & board style games and enjoy the company of
family, friends and co-workers.
The Leadership
Jessica Schneider and Alex Schneider (husband and wife), co-own Ye
Olde Corner Tap, are McHenry locals and are eager to expand to more
spaces within their community.
The Overall
Industry
McHenry is full of amazing new restaurant and bar spaces for dinner
and drinks, but is lacking something to else to do besides sit on a
barstool.
Future Plans
By the end of year 2025, Riverside lounge will be a staple location for
young and older adults alike to socialize and have something to do after
dinner or work.
Phase Two
Phase two of this endeavor will be a new outdoor space that really
captures the beauty of the Fox River and gives the community a
relaxing space to enjoy a summer night. Coming Spring 2025

Jessica Schneider
Owner & Operator

Corner Tap since 2020.
She has won many Best

respected by her
employees as being a
well grounded and
organized

America in the near
future.

“What do you want to do
after dinner or work?”
Mchenry is a great place to shop and
dine, but what happens after dinner?
What about all of the amazing people
that are working in those restaurants
and stores until 10pm?
As a current owner and operator of a
cocktail bar that closes at 10pm most
days, I can tell you first-hand that
there not much open after that.
Instead of spending my money
supporting a local business in town, I
usually end up just going home.
We envision a space for people to
socialize by playing pool, darts,
arcade style games like pinball or
even a good old fashion board game.
On top of that, we want to provide a
late-night kitchen for when that
snacking hunger kicks in but also for
those who just got off work and have
not eaten yet (a situation I find
myslef in at 11PM).
By keeping the space elevated with
an upscale atmosphere, we plan to
attract the population of McHenry
that has the money to spend at
Bimbos for dinner or was just tipped
very nicely by those patrons and is
just needing to wind down before
going home.
PAGE 4Business
Description
Here is what we see...

Simple Upscale
The Riverside Lounge cocktail
menu will feature simple cocktails
that feel upscale, but will
compliment your full belly or crave
your sweet tooth.
Crafts & Vino
Craft beer that you can’t find just
anywhere and a large wine
selection will be the perfect
beverages to end the night with!
Imagine sipping on a port wine &
looking out over the calm evening
river.
Elevated Bar Snacks
We plan to team up with another
local business to provide food all
day long to our community!
Whether you just need a quick
something for lunch, want to grab
something to go on the boat, need
a quick dinner because you just
got off work at 10pm, or just want
a small after dinner snack.
Let’s give back!
Thursday is community workers
day! Friday is Military & First
Responder Days! & Sunday Night
is Industry night for our fellow
workers! Let’s give back to the
people that make McHenry great!

Let’s support the WHOLE community
As a serving board member for the McHenry Area Chamber
of Commerce & Alexander Leigh Center for Autism, Jessica
is very involved in McHenry and only wants to see
everyone thrive! There are so many businesses near
Riverside Dr that could benefit from an establishment like
Riverside Lounge for after event stops, overflow/waiting
space for diners at the many restaurants, a safe place to
socialize after dinner & a place for our many late-night
workers that keep this community thriving!
Riverside lounge also plans to support other local
businesses by selling their products such as beer from
McHenry Brewing Co.
Lastly, we plan to continue our community involvement by
supporting local festivals and hosting events in partnership
with other businesses in town.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FOR: June 3, 2024 City Council Meeting
FROM: Cody Sheriff, City Planner
RE: Ordinance granting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Drive-Thru Restaurant
at 366 Bank Drive.
ATT:
1. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated May 15, 2024
2. Ordinance granting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Drive-Thru Restaurant at 366 Bank
Drive.
3. Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report & Petitioner’s Application Packet
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Parkview Plaza LLC., is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to
accommodate a future drive-thru restaurant (occupant TBD) located in the southernmost unit
of the Parkview Plaza multitenant commercial building located at 366 Bank Drive. The proposed
drive-thru would be able to accommodate up to 5 stacking spaces with room for additional
overflow drive-thru traffic in the parking lot.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION:
A public hearing for the request was held on May 15, 2024. There were no objectors present
from the public. The P&Z Commission discussion was primarily focused on the drive-thru
stacking spaces. The Commission agreed with staff’s assessment that any overflow traffic would
be restricted to the existing parking lot and unlikely to impact the adjoining property owners.
The P&Z Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval.

Unapproved Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes May 15, 2024
File No. Z-2024-11
Petitioner: Park View Plaza LLC
Request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a future Drive-Thru Restaurant at the
property located at 366 Bank Drive
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the file at 5:46 p.m. Planner Sheriff stated that all
publication requirements have been met. The petitioner is requesting approval of a drive-
through for an occupant that is yet to be determined. The property is primarily on a
dominant highway commercial area. There is room for five stacking spaces, and additional
overflow for stacking would be in the parking lot. Any overflow would not affect other
properties or the roadways. Commissioner Gleason asked if this would go behind the
building where garbage and dumpsters exist. Planner Sheriff explained that this is where
the vehicles would be exiting, and the businesses would have to schedule garbage pickup
when the drive-through is not open. It was stated that this is not uncommon for other
businesses.
The petitioner, Mark Ignas, was sworn in. Commissioner Gleason asked the petitioner if
cars would be driving directly in front of the other businesses or going around to the
outside. Mr. Ignas explained that a directional sign would be placed at the entrance of the
parking lot.
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public hearing at 5:57 p.m. With no members of the
public wishing to speak, the hearing was closed at 5:57 p.m.
Commissioner Locke stated that usually in drive-throughs the individuals stacked would
have to go somewhere else, but even without knowing the hours of operation, he is not
concerned about stacking and has no objections. Commissioners Bremer, Gleason, and
Riley all stated that the drive-through appears that it would work and had no objections to
the request.
A motion was made by Commissioner Gleason and seconded by Commissioner Locke to
recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a
future drive-thru restaurant subject to the following conditions:

Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The petitioner, Park View Plaza LLC., is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to operate a future
drive-thru restaurant (occupant TBD) on the southeast corner unit of Park View Plaza Commercial Subdivision
located at 366 Bank Drive. The petitioner desires approval of a conditional use permit to attract a future drive-
thru restaurant tenant.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional Uses, listed in §11-15-5 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance
73
STAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The subject property is currently zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District and is surrounded by other C-5 zoned
properties. Staff does not anticipate the proposed use of the property would impact the surrounding property
owners. The primary concern is how the proposed drive-thru will impact the existing commercial tenants
located in the multitenant building. The proposed drive-thru plan indicates the petitioner can accommodate
up to a maximum of five stacking spaces. Although limited, the site plan therefore meets the City’s minimum
requirements for stacking spaces for drive-thru restaurants. Additional space does exist in the parking lot to
accommodate additional overflow stacking but at the cost of compromising at least one directional lane of
traffic. Overall, staff believes any overflow resulting from a future drive-thru tenant will impose a minor
inconvenience as opposed to an actual hardship on the adjoining tenants and would be limited to the site and
not the surrounding property owners.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The proposed use of the property for a drive-thru restaurant is in substantial conformance with the Future
Land Use Map recommendation for commercial.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan objectives
and policies. Staff comments italicized.
View full list of City Plans at www.cityofmchenry.org/planningdocuments
• Land Use, Objective – “Allow a mixture of land uses in appropriate areas to promote responsible
growth while providing a high quality of life to the residents.” (p. 27)
Staff believes the proposed use of the property would provide an additional opportunity to attract a
drive-thru style tenant on the south side of town.
• Land Use, Policy – “Locate intense commercial and office uses where they will not negatively affect
residential or open space uses.” (p. 27)
There are no adjoining residential or open space uses that would be impacted by the proposed
development.
STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS
• The proposed use of the property for a drive-thru commercial restaurant is in substantial conformance
with the future land use map recommendation for commercial.
• Staff does not believe the development would generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding
commercial properties. The primary concern is the impact of the drive-thru on the existing commercial
tenants located within the multitenant building.
• The petitioner is proposing a 5-stack commercial drive-thru restaurant which meets the minimum
number of stacking spaces. There is additional stacking room for overflow into the parking lot. Staff
believes any overflow traffic would cause a minor inconvenience as opposed to an actual hardship on
the existing tenants.
• Staff is including conditions of approval related to the installation of yellow safety striping in the alley.
74
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to
operate a future drive-thru restaurant subject to the following conditions:
1. All development on site shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted plans.
2. The Property Owner shall install yellow pavement striping along the east building perimeter of the
principal structure to be approved at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Conditional Uses have been met as
outlined in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR CONDITIONAL USES (§11-15-5). Staff comments italicized below.
A. Traffic: Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning
district has been minimized.
Staff believes there is adequate traffic infrastructure in place to service the development. Located off a
state highway with direct access located off a minor collector road (Bank Drive) staff believes the
existing traffic infrastructure and site layout is appropriate to accommodate the proposed use of the
property.
B. Environmental Nuisance: Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of
light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a type or degree not characteristic of
permitted uses in the zoning district, have been appropriately controlled.
Staff does not believe the proposed request would generate any environmental nuisances.
C. Neighborhood Character: The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or
manmade character of its surroundings, and with permitted uses in the zoning district. The use will
not have undue deleterious effect on the environmental quality, property values, or neighborhood
character already existing in the area or normally associated with permitted uses in the district.
The existing character of the area is primarily commercial land use. Staff does not anticipate that
approval of the request would be out of character with the other highway commercial uses.
D. Public Services and Facilities: The proposed use will not require existing community facilities or
services to a degree disproportionate to that normally expected of permitted uses in the district, nor
generate disproportionate demand for new services or facilities, in such a way as to place undue
burdens upon existing development in the area.
The site is currently serviced by city water and sanitary sewer.
E. Public Safety and Health: The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or health of the
employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the use nor of the general public in the vicinity.
Staff believes the proposed use would not endanger local public health and safety within the vicinity of
the subject property.
F. Other Factors: The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility pertinent to
the conditional use and its particular location.
Attachments: 1) Petitioner’s Application and attachments. 2) Receipt of publication of legal notice.

RE: Ordinance granting a Use Variance to allow a Model Home/Leasing Office for
the property at 5000 Key Lane
ATT:
1. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated May 15, 2024
2. Ordinance granting a Use Variance to allow a Model Home/Leasing Office for the property
at 5000 Key Lane.
3. Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report & Petitioner’s Application Packet
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Cunat Inc., is requesting approval of a Use Variance to allow a Model
Home/Leasing Office at 5000 Key Lane. Currently located in the owner-occupied section of
Patriot Estates Subdivision on the southeast corner of Lexington Street and Cunat Drive, the
existing model home/leasing office services the renter-occupied townhome section of Patriot
Estates. The petitioner is proposing relocate the model home/leasing office to the corner end
unit of the 4-unit townhome located in the renter-occupied section on the northwest corner of
Key Lane and Cunat Drive.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION:
A public hearing for the request was held on May 15, 2024. There were no objectors present
from the public. The P&Z Commission was largely in agreement that the new location is more
appropriate to service the renter-occupied section as opposed to the existing location in the
owner-occupied section of Patriot Estates. The P&Z Commission unanimously voted to
recommend approval.

File No. Z-2024-10
Petitioner: Cunat Exchange III, DST
Request for a Use Variation to operate a model home/leasing office at the property located
at 5000 Key Lane
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the file at 5:39 p.m. Planner Sheriff stated that all
publication requirements have been met. Brian Cunat was sworn in by Chairwoman
Rockweiler. Planner Sheriff explained that the petitioner is under ownership of the current
subdivision Patriot Estates, which is operating as a rental development. The current leasing
office is southern section of the subdivision with duplexes. They would like to move the
leasing office to 5000 Key Lane, which requires a use variance. This will make the leasing
office several blocks from the duplex units and in the center of the townhome section.
There is plenty of parking and the street in front of this unit is private. This will allow traffic
to not block the street and will be handicap accessible.
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public hearing at 5:45 p.m. With no members of the
public wishing to speak, she closed the public hearing at 5:45 p.m.
All commission members agreed that this request makes sense, is logical and
straightforward, and no members had an issue with the request.
A motion was made by Commissioner Locke and seconded by Commissioner Riley to
recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Use Variation to allow a model
home/leasing office at the property located at 5000 Key Lane, and by making said motion, I
agree that the approval criteria for Use Variances have been met as outlined in the staff
report.

Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The property owner, Cunat Exchange III, DST., is requesting the following zoning approval(s) to operate a
model home/leasing office at 5000 Key Lane:
1. Request for a Use Variation to operate a model home/leasing office.
The subject property is part of the Patriot Estates Subdivision plated
in 2007. The covenants and restrictions originally identified the
subdivision as an owner-occupied, condominium development. Since
that time, the property owner has purchased all remaining units and
operates the subdivision as a rental establishment. Due the nature of
operations, the petitioner desires to maintain a leasing office/model
home in one of the corner units located at 5000 Key Lane. As such,
the principal use of the end unit would be professional office space
and therefore, a Use Variation is required to allow an office/model
home on the property.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance
STAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The subject property is currently zoned RM-2 High Density Multifamily Residential District. The surrounding
townhome multifamily properties are also owned by the petitioner. Staff believes the location of the proposed
model home/leasing office on the corner end unit would be the least impactful. Staff does not anticipate the
proposed use would negatively impact the adjoining unit.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Future Land Use Map identifies this property as Medium Density Residential. Staff believes the
development is somewhat consistent with the future land use map recommendation because the use services
the existing residential.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan objectives
and policies. Staff comments italicized.

104
• Land Use, Objective – “Allow a mixture of land uses in appropriate areas to promote responsible
growth while providing a high quality of life to the residents.” (p. 27)
Staff believes the proposed use of the property as a model home/leasing office is appropriate given that
the use is a subsidiary use to service the existing residential development.
• Land Use, Policy – “Locate intense commercial and office uses where they will not negatively affect
residential or open space uses.” (p. 27)
Staff believes the use of the property as a model home/leasing office will pose a small impact to the
adjoining residential area. The use of the subject property is in service of the existing development and
is therefore ancillary to the principal use.
STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS
• Staff believes the proposed use of the property is in substantial conformance with the future land use
map recommendation for medium-density residential given that the use of the unit as a model
home/leasing office is ancillary and in support of the principal use of the development as a rental,
attached residential development.
• Staff believes the location of the proposed model home/leasing office on the end unit of a corner lot is
the least impactful to the entire residential development. Staff does not anticipate any adverse
impacts on the adjoining residential units.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Use Variation to allow a
model home/leasing office at the property located at 5000 Key Lane.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Use Variances have been met as outlined
in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR USE VARIANCES (§11-19-6) Comments of staff italicized below.
A. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship: For reasons fully set forth in the written findings, the strict
application of the provisions of this title relating to the use of the buildings or structures, or the use of
the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from
mere inconvenience.
Staff believes the proposed use of the property as a leasing office/model home is appropriate given the
circumstances that the property being part of a rental development. Staff believes that denial of the
request would generate a practical difficulty in servicing the residents of the units.
B. Reasonable Return: The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under
the conditions allowed by the regulations in this title for the pertinent zoning district.
N/A
C. Unique Circumstance: Special circumstances, fully described in the written findings, exist that are
peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought and that they do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zoning district.
Staff believes the request to operate a model home/leasing office this is under a special circumstance as
it relates to the Subdivision being converted to a rental development and is therefore a unique
circumstance.
105
D. Not Alter Local Character: The granting of the use variance will not alter the essential character of the
locality, nor substantially impair environmental quality, property values or public safety or welfare in
the vicinity.
Staff does not believe approval of the request will generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding
area. The surrounding area consists of rental townhomes which the proposed use would service.
E. Consistent With Title And Comprehensive Plan: The granting of a use variance will be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of this title and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Staff believes the overall request is consistent with the Title and Comprehensive Plan by supporting
residential development and not altering local character.
Attachments: 1) Petitioner’s Application and attachments. 2) Receipt of publication of legal notice.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT

FOR: June 3, 2024 City Council Meeting
FROM: Cody Sheriff, City Planner
RE: Ordinance granting a Zoning Map Amendment to RS-4 High Density Single-
Family Residential District for the property located at 3707 Waukegan Road
ATT:
1. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated May 15, 2024
2. Ordinance granting a Zoning Map Amendment to RS-4 High Density Single Family
Residential District for the property located at 3707 Waukegan Road.
3. Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report & Petitioner’s Application Packet
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Neil L Calanca, is requesting approval of a Zoning Map Amendment from RA-1
Attached Residential District to RS-4 High Density Single-Family Residential District for the
property located at 3707 Waukegan Road. The petitioner desires to subdivide the lot in order to
accommodate a future single-family residence on the western half of the property. The subject
property is currently surrounded primarily by single-family residential land use with a mix of
RA-1 Attached Residential and RS-4 High Density Single-Family Residential District Zoning.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION:
A public hearing for the request was held on May 15, 2024. There was one objector present at
the hearing that explained he was worried that the lot was too small and would cause too much
traffic. However, staff explained the current zoning allows for a second residential unit and the
future construction of a single-family residence would have to comply with the Zoning
Ordinance setback requirements of the RS-4 High Density Single Family Residential District. The
P&Z Commission agreed that the proposed zoning map amendment was in character with the
existing mix of RA-1 Attached Residential and RS-4 High Density Single-Family Residential

Petitioner: Neil L Calanca
Request for a Zoning Map Amendment from RA-1 Attached Residential District to RS-4 High
Density Single-Family Residential District for the property located at 3707 Waukegan Road
Street
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the file at 5:32 p.m. Planner Sheriff stated that all publication
requirements have been met. Mr. Calanca was sworn in by Chairwoman Rockweiler. He stated
that he would like to rezone the property to single-family and create a new lot to build a new
single-family home. This would meet the exception to the subdivision rules, and once
subdivided, the second home could be built.
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public hearing at 5:34 p.m. Mike Zalinger was sworn in. He
asked the petitioner if he was wanting to put a new house on the side, and if it would also be a
single-family home. Mr. Calanca stated that was the plan. Mr. Zalinger explained that he was
worried that the lot is too small for another house, and that this would cause too much traffic.
Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public hearing at 5:36 p.m.
Mr. Calanca responded that he understands the concerns, but having only another single-family
home would have less traffic than if he had a multi-family home.
Planner Sheriff explained that the zoning ordinance requires 9,000 square feet, and that the
petitioner would need to meet all setback requirements to build. All requirements for building
would have to meet the standards of our ordinances.
Commissioner Locke had no objection to the request. Commissioner Gleason asked if the
current home is single-family, and Planner Sherrif stated that it was. The empty yard to the left
(west) is where the new home would go. Commissioner Bremer has no issues with the request
since the new home would have to meet our requirements. Commissioner Gleason has no
issues with the single-family residence. Commissioner Riley stated that he has no issues with
the request since it would have to meet our setbacks and follow the ordinances.

The subject property is currently zoned RA-1 Attached Residential District with a single-family residence. The
surrounding land use and zoning is a mixture of RS-4 High Density Single Family Residential and RA-1 Attached

recommended:

NARRATIVE
Provide a brief description of the Requested Action(s). For example, the operation that requires a
Conditional Use Permit, the specific Zoning Variance needed, or the new zoning classification that is
requested. The narrative description may also be included as a separate attachment.
The property in question sits on a lot 100 feet by 100 feet. From my understanding the
minimum lot size to buile is 100 feet by 50 feet. The other homes on this street have
similar lot sizes. The home sits on one lot. The vacant lot west of it could easily be
subdivided (to conform to your code) to 100 feet by 50 feet. I am simply asking to
rezone this lot so I can eventually build a new home the the property.

applicant.
Yes, there are many homes on this street/in this subdivision which are single family.
It appears to me that the trend in this area supports single family homes.
I believe this classication will be harmonious with the entire area.
It is my belief that the public interest will be best served in a single family residence,
preserving the integrity of the neighborhood, and the City Of McHenry.

REGULAR AGENDA
DATE: June 3, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: Community Solar Agreement
ATT: Tradition Energy Community Solar Presentation
Arcadia IL ComEd Agreement
______________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Council is being asked to consider the attached Community Solar Subscription Agreement with
Arcadia.
BACKGROUND:
The Illinois Community Solar Program allows electricity customers to enjoy the benefits of solar
energy without installing solar panels. Through community solar, the City can purchase a portion
of the electricity produced by a solar installation (called a community solar garden) and in return
receive credits on electric bills. The City has used Tradition Energy for energy procurement since
2019, and Tradition Energy brought this program forward as an opportunity to save on electric
bills. Tradition Energy is the exclusive energy advisor for the cooperative purchasing consortium
U.S. Communities and is therefore able to assist communities with energy projects without going
through formal bid requirements.
ANALYSIS:
The attached agreement with Arcadia is a 20-year agreement that will provide a 10% savings on
most of the City’s electric bills. Tradition Energy analyzed all of the City’s electric accounts and
determined this program will result in approximately $40,000 in annual savings. The discount
will only be applied to delivery charges for the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 3200 W Charles
Miller Road due to its larger rate class and the inability to complete consolidated billing. There
will be no change to how the City receives electricity; the credits will simply be applied during
143
billing. Also note that the current procurement agreements the City has in place are still valid,
and this program does not prevent the City from entering into future procurement agreements.
Attorney McArdle has reviewed the agreement and confirmed that the City has sufficient ability
to cancel the contract if needed. Per the agreement, the City can transfer this program to another
agency with the assistance of Tradition Energy if the City needed to cancel (for example an
account needed to be removed). After the first 5 years, there is no penalty for cancellation and
there are renewal options in the agreement as well. There is an early cancellation fee if
terminated before year 5, but the savings received from the program would more than cover this
fee as long as the City stays with the program for 4 years. If council agrees to this program,
savings will begin in 2025.
Arcadia was established in 2014 and is the largest Community Solar manager in the United States.
Tradition Energy has worked with Arcadia on Community Solar programs for the McHenry
Township Fire Protection District and Southern Illinois University. Staff spoke with the Fire
Protection District and was provided a positive reference.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made to approve the
ordinance authorizing the Mayor’s execution of the attached Community Solar Subscription
Agreement between the City of McHenry and Arcadia.

OPPORTUNITY
9 SIUE, home to a student body of over 12,500, is
situated on 2,660 acres of beautiful woodland.
9 SIUE sought Tradition's guidance to develop an
energy management strategy, starting with
participation in Illinois' Community Solar Program.
ANALYSIS
9 Following the SIUE energy team's education about
the Program and the opportunity, Tradition con-
ducted an assessment of the campus' energy usage.
During this assessment, Tradition identified multiple
accounts eligible for Illinois' Community Solar program.
9 Tradition collaborated with its network of community
solar developers to pinpoint the perfect match for
SIUE's energy demands and contractual prerequisites,
considering its status as a government entity.
RESULTS
9 Participating in Illinois' Community Solar program
enabled SIUE to save $1.5 million over the next 10
years while supporting Ameren's, the local utility,
renewable initiatives.
9 The purchase will also reduce Ameren's
greenhouse gas emissions by ~5,200 metric tons of
carbon dioxide
9 The selected community solar developer sourced
7.69 MW of capacity across four projects in the
Ameren utility territory. This capacity will generate
more than 12,000,000 kWh of solar power
annually
9 Tradition is working on additional energy projects
with SIUE, allowing the University to work towards
achieving energy independence and helping it
reduce its carbon footprint 8

COMMERCIAL SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
ILLINOIS COMMUNITY SOLAR PROGRAM
Thank you for supporting community solar energy in Illinois!
The attached Community Solar Subscription Agreement provides you with a simple way to save money by
supporting a local community solar project. There will be no change in the quality or reliability of your utility electricity
service, and no installation is required at your property.1
Summary of key details:
• You will receive Credits for solar electricity production that serve to reduce your electricity bill. You will pay
Arcadia for these Credits at a discounted rate. For each dollar in Credits that you receive (or the equivalent if kWh
credits are provided), you will pay Arcadia no more than 90% of the value of such Credits, and you will retain no
less than 10% in savings. For example, if you receive $100.00 in Credits and your total utility electric charges
before the application of the Credits is $150.00, then you will retain 10% of the $100.00 ($10.00) in Subscription
Savings for the given month ($150.00 - $10.00 = $140.00).
• There will be no change in the quality or reliability of your utility electricity service, no additional utility charges are
included in this Agreement, and no installation is required at your property.
• Arcadia is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or otherwise acting on behalf of, any utility, any consumer group, or any
governmental body.2 Arcadia’s community solar activities are not subject to the same regulation and oversight as a
public utility.3
Once again, thanks for supporting your community’s smart and sustainable environmental programs. We are thrilled to
have you as a community solar subscriber and look forward to providing you with savings and an excellent renewable energy

COMMUNITY SOLAR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
This Community Solar Subscription Agreement (the
“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the Subscriber
first identified below on the electronic signature page (the
“Subscriber”), and the System project owner also first
identified below on the electronic signature page (the
“Owner”), and is effective as of the latter date signed by both
the Subscriber and the Owner (the “Effective Date”). The
Subscriber and Owner may be referred to in this Agreement
by name or as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties” as the
context provides and requires.
Pursuant to this Agreement the Subscriber shall receive
Community Solar Credits correlating to a calculated
percentage of the production of a remotely located solar
photovoltaic system project (i.e., a community solar farm)
participating in the State of Illinois Adjustable Block
“Program” (the “System”). Refer to Exhibit 2 for additional
System specific information. For additional Program
information visit https://illinoisshines.com/solar-info/.
1. Community Solar Credits. This Agreement is for
a subscription to a calculated percentage (%) of the energy
generated by the System (the “Subscription”), through
which volumetric (per kWh) or monetary (dollar value)
renewable energy bill credits will be produced and provided
to Subscriber that can be used to reduce/offset Subscriber’s
electricity utility account bill (“Community Solar Credits”
or “Credits”). The category of Credits provided and received
via the Subscription (i.e., kWh or monetary) may depend
upon several factors including the utility involved, location,
and/or classification of the Subscriber (e.g., residential v.
commercial). Credits can be applied against the total amount
due on Subscriber’s metered electricity utility account bill
(“electric bill”).
a. For the Credits received on Subscriber’s electric bill via
the Subscription, with respect to each of the metered
accounts listed on Exhibit 1, Subscriber will pay Owner
no more than 90% of the monetary value of such Credits
(“Subscription Payment”), and in return, Subscriber
shall retain no less than 10% of the monetary value of
such Credits (“Subscription Savings”). For example, if
Subscriber receives $100.00 in Credits and Subscriber’s
total utility electric bill before the application of the
Credits is $150.00, then Subscriber will retain 10% of the
$100.00 ($10.00) in Subscription Savings for the given
month ($150.00 - $10.00 = $140.00).
b. The number of Credits Subscriber will receive will vary
based on the amount of energy produced by the System
in any given month.
c. Owner does not guarantee any minimum/maximum
System production to Subscriber.
d. Subscriber understands that Owner cannot guarantee
whether the value of Credits provided by the utility will
increase or decrease and, if it does, by how much.
e. Whether the number/value of Credits increases or
decreases, any such change will not affect the minimum
percentage value of the Subscription Savings which is
guaranteed (i.e., 10%).
f. An estimate of the Subscription Payment is attached
hereto as Exhibit 3. The estimated monetary value of
Credits is typically calculated by reducing the published
utility electricity default/retail supply rate, inclusive of
supply and delivery charges, by the Subscription
Payment.
g. Owner makes no representations or warranties
concerning the tax implications of any Credits provided
to Subscriber.
h. Subscriber will not receive any Credits until after the
System begins generating power.
i. The Subscription Payment does not include electric
utility charges.
j. Additional System and Subscription details are located
within the Program Disclosure Form provided to
Subscriber contemporaneously with this Agreement.
k. Additional Program details and Disclosure Form
example: https://illinoisshines.com/program-resources/.
2. Term; Cancellation; Transfer; Exclusivity. The
Subscription will commence as of the Effective Date and
continue for an “Initial Term” of twenty (20) consecutive
years from the Effective Date, subject to annual budget
approval by the City Council of the Subscriber, the City of
McHenry. During the Initial Term, after the fourth (4th)
anniversary of the date Credits first accumulate/appear on
Subscriber’s electricity bill (the “Allocation Date”),
Subscriber may terminate this Agreement with no fee/penalty
by providing Owner with at least three hundred and sixty-five
(365) days’ advance written notice of Subscriber’s early
termination. Following the Initial Term, this Agreement will
automatically renew for five (5) consecutive one (1) year
terms (each a “Renewal Term”). The Initial Term and any
Renewal Terms hereunder may be singularly and/or
collectively referred to herein as the “Term.” Prior to the
commencement of any Renewal Term, Subscriber may
terminate this Agreement with no fee by providing Owner
with at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice of non-
renewal. During the Term Owner may terminate this
Agreement at any time by providing at least thirty (30) days’
advance written notice to Subscriber. Any such advance
written notice by Owner shall specify the date as of which
Credits will no longer be allocated to Subscriber and such
date shall serve as the effective date of Owner’s termination
of this Agreement.
a. If Subscriber’s electric utility or alternative retail electric
supplier (“ARES”) imposes additional charges upon
Subscriber purportedly levied to offset costs associated
with the provision of Credits to Subscriber, and if such
additional charges effectively lower the Subscription
154
2
Savings below the guaranteed percentage rate, and if
Owner declines to compensate or reimburse Subscriber
for such additional charges, then Subscriber may
terminate this Agreement with no fee/penalty by
providing at least ninety (90) days’ advance written
notice to Owner.
b. During the Term Owner shall be Subscriber’s exclusive
provider of Community Solar Credits with respect to
each of the metered accounts listed on Exhibit 1.
Accordingly, Subscriber agrees that if Subscriber
Defaults (as defined in Section 6) prior to the conclusion
of the Term, then Subscriber will not enter into any form
of agreement to receive Community Solar Credits, for
any of the metered accounts listed on Exhibit 1, via any
third-party provider for the then remaining balance of the
Term as calculated from the effective date of such
Default (the “Exclusivity Period”). If Subscriber
violates the exclusivity terms of this Agreement, then
Subscriber shall be liable to Owner for monetary
damages in an amount equal to Subscriber’s historical
average monthly invoiced Subscription Payment
multiplied by the number of months remaining in the
balance of the Exclusivity Period calculated from the
date of violation with pro-rated credit given to
Subscriber for the number of days/months Subscriber
adhered to the exclusivity terms during the Exclusivity
Period. The exclusivity obligations in this Section are
material and Subscriber agrees and understands that such
obligations shall survive the termination of this
Agreement for the stated period.
c. Subscriber may retain and transfer the Subscription to
another metered electricity account with no fee (or at
least a downsized version of the Subscription relative to
the Subscriber’s new Subscription size) if the Subscriber
changes address for utility service within the same utility
service territory, provided Owner determines in its sole
discretion that such address is eligible to receive Credits
from the System.
d. Following the receipt of a notice of early termination or
non-renewal from Subscriber, Owner will direct the
applicable electric utility to cease allocating Credits to
Subscriber’s account(s) via the System. Utilities can take
up to ninety (90) days to process such cancellation
requests. Accordingly, until Owner notifies Subscriber
in writing that a requested termination has been
processed by the applicable utility, Subscriber is
required to continue paying for the Credits that
Subscriber receives for up to ninety (90) days from the
date of Owner’s receipt of the corresponding written
notice.
e. Following the receipt of a notice of early termination
from Owner, Subscriber’s Section 2(a) exclusivity
obligations shall terminate, and Subscriber may seek to
receive Community Solar Credits via another provider.
Under such circumstances, Subscriber will still be
required to continue paying for any Credits that
Subscriber may receive via this Subscription for up to
ninety (90) days from the date of Subscriber’s receipt of
Owner’s notice of early termination.
3. Subscription Size; Reallocation. Subscriber’s
initial Subscription percentage size will be calculated by
Owner to generate Credits with respect to each of the metered
accounts listed on Exhibit 1 and the amount of such Credits
shall be no greater than Subscriber’s estimated annual
electricity cost for such metered account(s). Owner may
adjust Subscriber’s Subscription size for each metered
account at any time without notice, subject to the limitations
described herein with respect to Subscriber’s estimated
annual electricity cost. Owner may reallocate Subscriber’s
Subscription for any metered account to an alternative solar
photovoltaic system participating in the Program at any time
by providing written notice to Subscriber in which case such
alternative solar photovoltaic system will then become the
“System” under the terms of this Agreement.
4. Billing Service Provider. The provider of all billing
related services for the Subscription is Arcadia Community
Solar, LLC (“Arcadia” and “Billing Service Provider”).
Owner may change the Subscription’s Billing Service
Provider at any time by notifying Subscriber of such change
in writing. On a monthly basis during the Term, the Billing
Service Provider will invoice Subscriber for the Subscription
Payment according to data retrieved from Subscriber’s
electric bill and/or supplemental reports received from the
applicable utility.
The Billing Service Provider shall process and collect on
Subscription Payment invoices per the “Terms of Service”
(“TOS”) available for review at https://legal.arcadia.com.
a. To facilitate the Subscription, Subscriber agrees to enroll
in Billing Service Provider’s Autopay Program whereby
the Subscription Payment will be automatically
debited/charged from Subscriber’s preferred payment
method. See TOS at Section 7.
b. To facilitate the Subscription, Subscriber authorizes the
Billing Service Provider to obtain and review certain
information from the applicable utility, and to share such
information with Owner, including Subscriber’s energy
consumption data, energy billing data, and utility
account data. The Parties agree that this information will
not be disclosed to third parties except as may be
reasonably necessary to provide and promote the
Subscription, to develop and maintain the System, or as
otherwise required by law. Subscriber’s authorization
will remain in effect from the Effective Date until the
termination of this Agreement.
c. To facilitate the Subscription, Subscriber agrees to
receive Subscription related communications from the
Billing Service Provider. Subscriber also agrees to
receive promotional communications from the Billing
Service Provider. Such communications may include e-
155
3
mail and text messages, phone calls, and push
notifications. Subscriber agrees that any such
communications may be generated by automated
systems and be recorded for quality and compliance
purposes. Appropriate opt-out instructions shall be
provided within any such promotional communications.
See TOS at Section 18 for more details.
d. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that in the event of
a utility billing error, Subscriber will be responsible for
reimbursing Owner for any unwarranted increases in the
number of Credits Subscriber received because of such
error. Neither the Billing Service Provider nor the Owner
are liable for utility billing errors.
e. If the System is out of service for more than three (3)
consecutive business days (an “Outage”), the Billing
Service Provider may inform Subscriber of such Outage
via an appropriate communication method. Any such
communication will include the estimated duration of the
Outage and estimated production lost due to the Outage.
A System outage will not affect utility electricity service.
f. There are two (2) potential Subscription billing methods:
Utility Consolidated Billing and Dual Billing.
i. Utility Consolidated Billing. Subscriber’s
Subscription account is consolidated with
Subscriber’s electric utility account by Subscriber’s
electric utility. Subscriber will receive one
consolidated electric and Subscription bill from
Subscriber’s electric utility. The Subscription
Payment will be automatically calculated and
deducted from the Credits reflected on Subscriber’s
consolidated bill. For example, if for a given month
Subscriber’s allocated Subscription percentage size
is worth $100 in Credits, and the Subscription
Savings rate is 10%, then Subscriber would receive
$10 in Credits on Subscriber’s consolidated bill, and
the electric utility would retain and pay the $90
Subscription Payment to Owner for the Subscriber.
ii Dual Billing. Subscriber will receive two bills.
One bill from the electric utility with Community
Solar Credits applied, and one from Arcadia for the
Subscription Payment. For example, if for a given
month Subscriber’s allocated Subscription
percentage size is worth $100 in Credits, and the
Subscription Savings rate is 10%, then Subscriber
would receive $100 in Credits on Subscriber’s
electric bill (plus normal electric utility charges),
and Subscriber would directly pay Arcadia the $90
Subscription Payment via Arcadia’s Autopay
Program, retaining the $10 Subscription Savings.
g. Owner and Billing Service Provider will notify
Subscriber of the default billing option associated with
the Subscription and reserve the right to change and
implement any billing option at any time and will notify
Subscriber in writing if/when such occurs.
5. Customer Support Provider. The initial provider
of all customer support related services for the Subscription
is Arcadia (“Customer Support Provider”). Owner may
change the Customer Support Provider at any time by
notifying Subscriber of such change in writing. The
Customer Support Provider can assist with the resolution of
most Subscription, System, billing, and Owner related
questions or concerns that Subscriber may have. For any
such assistance Subscriber can visit Arcadia’s customer
support center webpage at https://support.arcadia.com/hc/en-
us, or email Arcadia’s customer support center at
support@arcadia.com, or call Arcadia’s customer support
center at 866-526-0083.
6. Default. Subscriber acknowledges, understands,
and agrees that Subscriber will be in material breach and
“Default” under the terms of this Agreement if Subscriber:
a. Fails to make any payment when payment is due and
such failure continues for a period of ten (10)
consecutive days; and/or
b. Fails to maintain Subscriber’s electricity utility account
in good standing (e.g., no 30, 60, 90 days past due
balance); and/or
c. Revokes Subscriber’s Section 4(b) authorization and/or
otherwise prevents Billing Service Provider from
obtaining/accessing Subscriber’s utility account data;
and/or
d. Terminates, cancels, rescinds and/or otherwise abandons
Subscriber’s Subscription prior to the conclusion of the
then Term.
e. Subscriber shall have thirty (30) consecutive days from
the date Owner provides Subscriber with written notice
of Subscriber’s Default, to correct/cure Subscriber’s
Default, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Owner.
Upon reasonable request, Subscriber must provide
Owner with appropriate documentation evincing
Subscriber’s correction/cure to the reasonable
satisfaction of Owner.
6.1 If Subscriber is in Default under the terms of the
Agreement, then:
a. Owner may terminate this Agreement by providing
Subscriber with written notice; and Owner may allocate
and/or assign to a third-party the Subscription percentage
size allocated to Subscriber via this Agreement (pre-
Default); and
b. Subscriber will be responsible for paying any
outstanding balance for Credits Subscriber previously
received and/or Subscriber receives for up to three
hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the effective
Default date; and
c. Subscriber will be responsible for paying an Early
Termination Fee (“ETF”) to Owner calculated as
follows: $0.03 per kWh, multiplied by the Subscriber’s
monthly average kWh usage over a historical period of
the immediately preceding twelve (12) months,
156
4
multiplied by twelve (12) (i.e., (.03 x monthly average)
x 12); and
d. Subscriber’s responsibilities upon Default are in addition
to Subscriber’s Section 2(a) exclusivity obligations.
e. The Parties agree that the Section 6.1(c) ETF is a
proportionate, fair, and reasonable figure in the nature of
liquidated damages and not a penalty and represents the
Parties’ best approximation when entering into this
Agreement of the actual out of pocket expenses/damages
Owner would suffer/incur upon a Subscriber Default.
7. Solar Incentives; Environmental Attributes.
Subscriber acknowledges, understands, and agrees that
Subscriber has no right to, and Subscriber disclaims any right
to, Solar Incentives or Environmental Attributes related to the
System, or the solar energy generated by the System.
Subscriber has no right to, and Subscriber disclaims any right
to, any solar energy allotted via the Subscription. Subscriber
is entering into this Agreement solely to receive Subscription
Savings on Credits and not for investment or speculation, not
with a profit expectation, and not for resale of any benefits
under this Agreement. Further, Subscriber does not have any
interest in the profits or losses of the System and will not
otherwise be entitled to any profit related to the System by
entering into this Agreement. “Solar Incentives” means any
accelerated depreciation, installation, or production-based
incentives, investment tax credits and subsidies, and all other
solar or renewable energy subsidies and incentives.
“Environmental Attributes” means, without limitation,
carbon trading credits, renewable energy credits or
certificates, emissions reduction credits, emissions
allowances, green tags, or tradable renewable credits.
8. Assignment. Upon providing Subscriber with
advance written notice, Owner may assign, or transfer any of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or
in part, to any third-party without the consent of Subscriber.
For example, Owner shall provide Subscriber with advance
written notice of a Billing Service Provider and/or Customer
Support Provider change. Upon providing Owner with at
least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice, Subscriber may
assign its rights under this Agreement to any eligible third-
party’s metered electricity account located within the same
utility service territory with no additional fee provided the
third-party assignee’s Subscription size matches the
Subscriber’s Subscription size and is of the same rate class of
service. Under such circumstances the assignor/Subscriber
shall remain jointly and severally liable along with the new
third-party assignee/Subscriber for all of Subscriber
obligations under this Agreement during the remainder of the
Term (e.g., the Subscription Payment) unless/until the third-
party assignee/Subscriber accepts the terms of Subscription
in writing via the execution of a separate form of Owner’s
then Subscription agreement.
9. Indemnification. Subscriber shall indemnify,
defend (at Subscriber’s own cost) and hold Owner, Billing
Service Provider, and Customer Support Provider, including
their respective members, managers, directors, officers,
employees, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, agents and
assigns, harmless from and against any/all Claims, losses,
liabilities, damages, and expenses, including reasonable
attorney's fees and costs, based on or arising out of actual
loss, actual damage, or actual injury, or alleged loss, alleged
damage, or alleged injury, to Subscriber, to persons, to
entities, and/or to property, caused by or sustained in
connection with any of Subscriber’s independent acts and/or
omissions, and/or as caused by or sustained in connection
with any of Subscriber’s electricity account utility’s
independent acts and/or omissions that affect Subscriber,
and/or as may be caused by or sustained in connection with
any conditions created by the same. The indemnification
obligations in this Section represent material terms of this
Agreement and the Subscriber agrees and understands that
such obligations shall survive the termination of this
Agreement indefinitely.
10. Limitations of Liability. Regardless of the Claims
asserted, in no event shall Owner, the Billing Service
Provider, and/or the Customer Support Provider be liable to
Subscriber for damages under this Agreement that exceed an
amount equal to three (3) months of the historical average
invoiced Subscription Payment under this Agreement.
Regardless of the Claims asserted, in no event shall
Subscriber be liable to Owner for damages under this
Agreement that exceed an amount equal to one-hundred and
twenty (120) months of the historical average invoiced
Subscription Payment to Subscriber under this Agreement.
Further, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement,
to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Subscriber
waives all Claims against Owner, Billing service Provider
and Customer Support Provider, for consequential damages
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the
Subscription. This waiver is applicable, without limitation,
to all consequential damages due to this Agreement’s
termination. Accordingly, neither the Owner, the Billing
Services Provider, nor the Customer Support Provider, shall
be liable to the Subscriber for: loss of profits or revenue; loss
of use or opportunity; loss of good will; cost of substitute
facilities, Credits, goods or services; cost of capital; or for any
special, consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary
damages.
11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by, interpreted, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State where the System is located, without
giving effect to any choice of laws principles that would
require the application of the laws of a different state,
provided that the enforcement of this Agreement’s
Arbitration Provisions shall be governed by federal law.

12. Arbitration Provisions. ARBITRATION
REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT,
INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE
RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR
SIMILAR PROCEEDING. IN ARBITRATION, A
DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR
INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY. FOR AVOIDANCE OF
DOUBT, BECAUSE THE PARTIES AGREE TO
ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY
WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT DISPUTE
IN COURT, OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT
DISPUTE, OR ENGAGE IN RELATED DISCOVERY
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE JAMS
STREAMLINED RULES AND PROCEDURES.
Because of the delay and expense typically associated with
the use of the State and Federal court systems, the Parties
agree to exclusively submit to final and binding arbitration
any/all Disputes before JAMS, in the JAMS arbitration office
located closest in mileage to Subscriber’s principal place of
residence/business, before a single arbitrator, such arbitration
proceedings to be administered pursuant to, and governed in
accordance with, the then current JAMS Streamlined
Arbitration Rules and Procedures.
See https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/.
a. Either Party may initiate the arbitration process by filing
the necessary forms with JAMS. Payment of all filing,
administration, and arbitrator fees shall be governed by
the JAMS applicable rules.
b. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will be
administered by JAMS via a single neutral arbitrator
agreed upon by the Parties within thirty (30) days of the
commencement of the arbitration. If the Parties are
unable or fail to agree upon the arbitrator within such
time, the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in
accordance with its rules.
c. The arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing
stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of
law. Judgment on the decision/award by the arbitrator
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any legal
or equitable remedy or relief that a court could order or
grant under this Agreement. The arbitrator, however, is
not authorized to change or alter the terms of this
Agreement or to make any award that would extend to
any transaction other than the transaction evinced by this
Agreement. All statutes of limitations that are applicable
to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration between the
Parties.
d. The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing Party, if any,
the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the
prevailing Party in connection with the arbitration. If the
arbitrator determines a Party to be the prevailing Party
under circumstances where the prevailing Party won on
some but not all Claims asserted, then the arbitrator may
award the prevailing Party an appropriate percentage of
the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the
prevailing Party in connection with the arbitration.
e. Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor the
arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results
of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written
consent of both Parties, except as necessary to enforce
the award.
f. CLASS ACTION AND CLASS ARBITRATION
WAIVER. ONLY DISPUTES INVOLVING
SUBSCRIBER AND OWNER OR THE BILLING
SERVICE OR CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROVIDERS
FOR THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE ADDRESSED IN
THE ARBITRATION. DISPUTES MUST BE
BROUGHT IN THE NAME OF AN INDIVIDUAL
PERSON OR ENTITY AND MUST PROCEED ON
AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (NON-CLASS, NON-
REPRESENTATIVE). The Parties agree that any
arbitration shall only be conducted on an individual basis
and that if it is determined, despite the clear and
unambiguous intent of the Parties as stated in this
Agreement, to permit arbitration other than on an
individual basis, such arbitration will immediately be
terminated and neither party will be under any obligation
to continue in such arbitration. In the case of such
termination, or if the arbitration clause is deemed
inapplicable or invalid, or otherwise is deemed to allow
for litigation of Disputes in court, the Parties both waive,
to the fullest extent allowed by law, any right to pursue
or participate as a plaintiff or a class member in any
claim on a class or consolidated basis or in a
representative capacity.
g. The Arbitration Provisions of this Agreement are
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The
arbitrator must apply substantive law consistent with the
FAA. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement
evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce.
The FAA shall govern the interpretation, enforcement,
and proceedings pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions
and this Agreement. These Arbitration Provisions shall
not preclude the Parties from seeking provisional
remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate
jurisdiction.
h. “Disputes” means any/all disagreements or controversies
between the Parties involving Claims arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation,
disagreements or controversies regarding Claims as to
the validity, interpretation, performance, breach and/or
enforcement of this Agreement, the business relationship
by and between the Parties, and/or the determination of
the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate.
The definition of the term Disputes is intended by the
Parties to be construed in the broadest possible manner.
Any Disputes shall be subject to the limitations of
liability described in Section 10.
i. “Claims” means any/all claims, counterclaims, defenses,
demands, [class] actions, causes of action, judgments,
158
6
orders and decrees, and all other claims of every kind and
nature in law, equity, arbitration, administrative action,
or other forum, whether arising under department,
regulatory, agency, local, state, federal, international or
other law, rule and/or regulation, of whatever nature or
character, whether absolute or contingent, direct or
indirect, known or unknown, existing prior to, as of,
and/or after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The
definition of the term Claims is intended by the Parties
to be construed in the broadest possible manner.
j. If any term(s) of these Arbitration Provisions, other than
the Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver, is
deemed or found to be invalid, void, or unenforceable for
any reason, then that term shall be deemed severable and
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
remaining term(s). The Class Action and Class
Arbitration Waivers are non-severable and if it is deemed
or found to be invalid, void, or unenforceable for any
reason, then this entire Arbitration Provisions Section 12
shall be null and void.
13. Adjustable Block Program (“ABP”). The Billing
Service Provider and Customer Support Provider can assist
with the resolution of many Subscription and System related
questions and/or concerns that Subscriber may have.
However, if either Provider is unable to assist in this regard,
then Subscriber should contact the ABP’s Consumer
Complaint Center by calling 877-708-3456, or by visiting:
https://illinoisabp.com/complaint-center/.
14. Notices. All communications and requests required
or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be sent by electronic mail, express courier, or overnight mail,
all return receipt requested, to the address(es) below or to

Method Used to
Estimate Production
An independent engineer reviewed system layout drawings, equipment datasheets, and
site climatic and geographical data to generate a first-year energy estimate using the
commercially available software PVsyst. The first step in estimating solar power
generation is to determine the solar climatic conditions, primarily the global and diffuse
irradiation on the horizontal plane. The independent engineer's solar resource assessment
is conducted by reviewing various sources of solar resource data to select the most
appropriate data for the specific project site and importing the selected weather file into
PVsyst. The second step is assessing the system configuration, such as the quantity and
type of modules, inverters, transformers, row spacing, and the number of modules in
series and in parallel. Finally, the system loss factors are determined, and an annual
degradation assumption is applied over the estimate term.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John R. Birk, Chief of Police
FOR: June 3, 2024 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Purchase and Installation of Fueling Station Fence/Gate
ATT: Fence Site Plan Layout and Wood Master Fence Proposal
Agenda Item Summary:
Staff is seeking Council’s authorization to accept a proposal for the installation of a security fence and
gate system from Wood Master Fence in the amount of $65,892. This fencing system is the final
component of the City’s new fueling station located at the Public Works facility. Staff is present to
answer any questions Council may have.
Background:
In 2022, staff identified the need to construct a fueling station for all City and police vehicles, to be
located at the City’s Public Works facility (we currently contract with an outside fueling company). On
March 18, 2024, Council approved a fueling station project with Reladyne Fuel which included the
installation of two 2,500 gallon fueling tanks and the annual purchase of fuel from Reladyne.
As of May 20, 2024, the new fueling station has been installed and the tanks have been filled with fuel.
Upon the completion of IT related programing, it is anticipated that staff will begin using the new fueling
station by the week of June 3, 2024.
The final component to the fueling station project is the installation of a security fence around the fueling
station. Attached is a site plan showing the fencing and rolling gate to be installed around the fueling
station. The new fencing will match the existing fencing around the property.
Analysis:
With the assistance of Public Works, competitive pricing was sought for the purchase and installation of
security fencing. One proposal was received from Wood Master Fence for the purchase and installation
of the fencing and gate system. No other proposals were received. Based on past experience, Public
Works has advised that gathering multiple proposals for smaller fence projects such as this is difficult, as
local/regional companies are not interested in engaging in prevailing wage contracts. The City is required
by state statute to pay prevailing wage.
Wood Master Fence has completed multiple past projects for the City and has a positive work history
with the City, meeting or exceeding expectations while including the requirement of prevailing wage.
Wood Master provided the attached proposal for a security fence and gate around our fueling station in
the amount of $65,892. Included in the FY 24/25 Budget was $50,000 for this fence project, with all
costs being paid from the police asset forfeiture account. Although the proposal is $15,892 higher than
165
estimated, the police have additional asset forfeiture funds available to cover the total cost without the use
of any General Fund dollars.
Recommendation:
Staff requests City Council authorization to (1) waive competitive bidding, (2) pass an ordinance for a
budget amendment in the amount of $15,892.00 with funds transferred from the police asset forfeiture
account, and (3) award the fence project to Wood Master Fence in an amount not to exceed $65,892.
