CONSENT AGENDA ITEM
DATE: July 1, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Monte Johnson
RE: Block Party Request
ATT: Application, Signatures, Map
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
An application has been submitted by Steve Glennon for the purpose of holding a block party
on Saturday, July 27th, between 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. They requested the closure of all of
Millstream, from Front Street near Freund Field and the park to Route 120. Staff is
uncomfortable with the closure of the street from the west of the ramp that leads behind the
businesses. Emergency police and fire access along with business and customer access are
concerns for Staff if the entire street were to be closed. Staff suggests only closing Millstream
to the east of the ramp that leads behind the businesses. This would allow customers and
delivery drivers for Papa Johns, New China, and other businesses in the area access not just
from Route 120 but also from the north via the ramp.
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.
The application submitted by Mr. Glennon is included. Staff has included a colored map
showing Staff’s recommendation for the block party area.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended a motion be made to approve the block
party request on Millstream Drive on Saturday, July 27, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.,
4
based on the map produced by Staff with the closure to occur only to the east of the business
ramp. Public Works will provide barricades and the McHenry Township Fire Protection
District and Police Department will be notified of the event.

*Clerks note the full discussion of this Agenda Item can be viewed over the YouTube recording,
this is a summary of what had occurred.
Discussion Item Agenda
A. Discussion regarding the construction of a proposed mixed-use development at 1111
N. Green Street including public structured parking (Administrator Ostrovsky)
Mayor Jett explained how the process would work with the discussion for this evening and
handed it over to Administrator Ostrovsky to begin.
Administrator Ostrovsky thanked the public for attending this important discussion.
Conversations with Shodeen since 2011, the standstill agreement with them since 2023
meaning that they have the exclusive right to develop the properties, this is a separate private
transaction.
The reason it is in front of The Council is the public asked further about public parking, the City
Council stated that they would like to have this conversation. There are 46 parking spaces
currently, the general impression is that there is not enough parking downtown. The loss of the
46 spaces could cause further concerns. The City would own the proposed parking garage and
own it by paying money from the overnight passes.

David Patzelt-Shodeen Inc. took the podium regarding an overview of the developments for
the residents in attendance.
He gave some background about Shodeen Inc., they have been in business for 60 years, and
he has been part of them for 30 of those years.
The deck presented showed the area of the site, the former City Hall building, calling it a flag-
shaped lot, the parcel did include the lot north of the landmark school. It did not include the
area left of that.
The issues with easements were reviewed and released by The Council, there is one that is
remaining which is the existing sanitary sewer which will be relocated. The right-hand turn lane
southbound is on private property but it is being proposed that that will be vacated. Our plan
maintains space for plan 5 of the Riverwalk phase, along Boone Creek there have been some
illustrations (within the deck). 157 parking spaces with two levels 3200 sq ft of commercial
space and a restaurant with outdoor dining were illustrated as well. Lower-level parking off of
Green Street access, there is no internal ramp connecting the upper and lower levels.
There were some illustrations of what the outdoor space could look like, also showing the
second parking level from Waukegan Street. There was examples of the living spaces as well
as the roof types were discussed too.
Alderman McClatchey asked why the slides were used from the Riverwalk project, and David
stated that they are trying to meet the needs of the Riverwalk and want to work with them
therefore that is why the slides were used. Mayor Jett noted that the drawings were done in
2008 and he had reached out to Director Hobson to try to give a visualization of what it could
look like. The slides were used with permission from The City to allow David to give a more
visualized experience to residents attending and The Council.
The Green Street to Pedestrian Bridge was discussed along with some other photographs of
the amphitheater and overlook of Boone Creek.
Mayor Jett explained that they could discuss the height of the building first since two other
items would need reviewing.
Alderman Glab discussed the difference between Landmark School and the 14ft of elevation
and the height of the building from the proposed development.
Alderman McClatchey stated that he thinks it is too big for that location, is not pleased with the
outside of it would like it to be more ornate, and is not happy with the height.
Alderwoman Miller stated that she likes the building, and the topography of the lot would be
nice with the two entrances to parking. It is slightly taller than Landmark School, this building's
height would be less than the flagpole of that school.
Alderman Davis appreciated the illustration and wanted to know how that piece would be left
with Riverwalk and the development. Director Hobson stated that they make plans to
coordinate with The City and the development, with Shodeen.

Alderwoman Bassi stated that she is not comfortable with the 6 stories but is worried about a
parking garage next to an elementary school. She does not think she will be comfortable with
it. Stated there are 88 units for parking told that they are not guaranteed a parking spot, and
how the tenants have a place to park.
David explained that they are against restricted parking. When you go to rent the apartment
from them, it is stated that the parking is in a public parking lot, the municipality issues the
parking permits, and they will work with staff regarding the price of the parking permit per
month. There is a maximum of around 100-150 per month, hence they are being told upfront
as well and the amount of cars can be limited too. They are also told what and where the
visitors park and obtain a permit as well.
Alderman Koch wanted to know if any government entities help finance it, David stated they
are not part of affordable housing they are market-rate housing there is no funding for it.
Mayor Jett asked for the rent amounts if built today, per David they are generally in the $1,800
-$2,400 range depending on the size.
Alderwoman Miller wanted to know when construction will take place if discussions go well, per
David 12 months from now. John Smith the Riverwalk President stated that the unknown piece
is the cost of the Pearl Street Bridge and the potential amphitheater. Director Hobson stated
1.4 million dollars approximately from back in 2017. Stated that 6 months start at design
drawings etc. to ramp up. Alderwoman Miller stated that he could be aligned, however funding
for the Riverwalk is still the question. Mayor Jett stated that he appreciated John Smith and his
help with phase 4 of the Riverwalk.
Alderman Glab asked who pays for the sewer work, it is included in what is on the property for
the Shodeen project. Stated if it has to get moved Alderman Glab would like the developers to
have to pay for it.
Alderman Santi- wants to see a 3D visual looking northbound from Green Street and has
constituents asking the same thing. Also touched on the fact that the outside of the building
may need another look. Stated that he met with someone who lived in Oswego at the facility
Shodeen built there and she loved it.
This discussion went on for some time.

The next discussion was regarding the parking, 88 units, and 157 parking spaces. This is a
shared parking model as discussed earlier – open public parking during business hours,
residents would need to purchase an overnight pass. City revenue from overnight passes will
help cover the operating expenses in the garage and could help build out a capital reserve to
help plan for the future, per Administrator Ostrovsky.
Estimated lot expenditures were also presented as the engineers gathered those numbers
surface parking vs. standalone and shared parking structures.
Alderman Koch stated that the dollar amounts are a good deal but the height of the building is
his concern. Wants it to fit and wants the money to be used efficiently.
Alderman Davis, agrees there are good and bad but agrees.
Alderwoman Bassi is not in favor of the parking garage.
Alderman McClatchey, the height is too tall for that area, as far as parking thinks it could be a
mess. As far as funding McHenry is not in the business of financing developers, doesn’t make
sense to him. Would consider parking across the street, he is not in favor of all of the parking.
Doesn’t think it fits
Alderman Glab stated that he is not for the height of the building, not in favor of any of the
parking options for this discussion.
Cody Sherrif City Planner took the podium as he was to explain the shared parking to The
Council. The shared parking system in the downtown area is best explained as an office
development and restaurant that would share those spaces. It is the most efficient for a growing
city as well.
Alderman Santi has been developing since 2005, to enjoy the downtown area and there is a
large piece of undeveloped land there is a partnership with this, and we should work with it.
Other developers are going to come to us with the type of concept and need to look forward
visually.

Public Comment:
Nancy Fike- wanted to know more about the presentation and what was going on, the
mass of the building was her concern. They invite the community to have the downtown areas
help welcome this. Parking will always be an issue, worried about the entranceway.
Melanie Deardon- resident 17 years old, concrete jungle, congestion of Green Street, noise out
of hand and it is very clustered everything is being dumped in one spot.
Beatrice Walter, resident of Ward 4. Proximity within the school community is a concern, the
beauty of the Green Street area. Not right for our area.
Bobbie Bahne, resident- very excited to see the progression in the downtown area. Businesses
are looking to come to McHenry. Finds it amazing to see all the people experiencing this.
Disappointed to hear many members that do not want the developer to move forward. 1% tax
in favor of restaurants and bars, to help fund the project.
Tony Esposito resident, issues of the TIF is what is his concern. Wants to know why he is
paying into the TIF to help a developer. He likes to see things progress as well, but wanted to
know what happens with his money going into the TIF, the parking is what is going to help the
businesses.
Mayor Jett explained how the TIF is Re-TIF’ed
Wayne Smith wanted to know how this was financed, this will be addressed later in the meeting.
Mike the owner of Jexels, a resident of Lakemoor stated that he is for the development. Stated
a pretty nice plan and commented about the 88 more diners, shoppers, etc. Talked about the
shared parking and how it is needed.
Kirk Donald, Johnsburg resident is police protection available, an area for helicopters, etc?
How would the police get into the building?
Eric Si, resident- the height of the FD to respond. Expressed concerns on the parking.
Brian Cunat, a resident- talked about the million dollars that they had donated to the Riverwalk,
happy to see it developing. Concerned about parking and that has been heard for a long time.
Dennis resident- aesthetics need some work, the parking options should be considered. Would
be more open to development plans if the residents owned.
Richard, resident, a 1% sales tax is no big deal, think the timing of the 1% is bad. 1% piles on
to inflation and should not be part of this.
Pam Goth, resident- don’t need another development downtown, think that this is what we
need. Talk about it and can do better.

Nicolas Finney, resident- should not fund it with our taxes, something should go there but a
business should be vested here. Talked about the lifestyle and asked about EV parking, there
is a state code that meets those requirements. Cost-benefit analysis would like to be viewed
and what the benefit to The City.
Rich E- resident, parking needs to be accessible to people the businesses are thriving right
now. The city has done a wonderful job developing The City, don’t go backward without there
being parking, it could kill the businesses there.
The TIF funding was also discussed. A 1% food and beverage tax would help generate
$880,000 a year. This discussion went on for some time.
Alderwoman Bassi put an analysis together and wanted to share it with everyone regarding
three parking scenarios. Based on her analysis, she is not comfortable with the project.
Alderman McClatchey wanted to know if there is a developer donation fee, this part has not
been dealt with yet.
Alderman Glab stated that a parking garage is needed.
Alderwoman Miller stated that we currently own zero parking, and we must develop parking in
every concept that is concerned.
Staff Reports.
Provided the 1st meeting of each month.
Mayor’s Report. We talked about this project for 4 years to expand and grow and
unfortunately, not all The Council members took the time to tour, and very disappointed in some
of the Council members here.
City Council Comments: Alderman Glab no secret at the get-go that he did not support from
the beginning no big surprise.
Alderman Santi wanted to know if Alderman Glab was comfortable with the smaller building
asking him to confirm if he had mentioned that. Alderman Glab expressed he did not support
the project.
*Clerks note Executive Session was not needed.
Executive Session to discuss the purchase or lease of real property for the use of the public
body, including meetings held to discuss whether a particular parcel should be acquired (5

FROM: Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: Adjustment for Water and Wastewater Rates
ATT: Ordinance Amending Title 9-2C-5 Subsection B (Waterworks User Rates) and
Title 9-4B-1 Subsection F (Wastewater User Rates)
______________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Council is being asked to consider the attached ordinance adjusting water and sewer rates to
levels that are appropriate to fund existing operations and maintenance of the water and sewer
systems.
BACKGROUND:
The City completed a water and sewer rate study in FY13/14. The results of this analysis identified
the need to adjust water and sewer rates at that time, as well as to annually review and adjust
water and sewer rates based on operational costs. The City also implemented water and sewer
Base Fees to fund utility system capital improvements. As a reminder, rate adjustments were
completed during FY21/22 to directly address capital needs within the Water and Sewer Funds
by increasing the Base Fees. As a result of this, water and sewer sales and service penalties will
be designated for all operating costs and will be analyzed with the budget process to ensure they
meet all operating needs only.
Most recently, in July 2023, the Water residential rate was decreased $0.17 to $3.65 per 1,000
gallons, while the Sewer residential rate was raised $0.17, resulting in a net $0.00 increase to bills
for users that have both Water and Sewer service.
As a part of the FY24/25 Budget presentation, the water and sewer rate changes proposed with
the attached ordinance were discussed. The recommended adjustments tie directly to water and
sewer operational and ongoing maintenance needs.
62
ANALYSIS:
Once the budgets for the Water, Sewer and Utility Maintenance Divisions of Public Works were
developed, it was determined that the current operational revenues for the Water and Sewer
Divisions were underfunding the needs of the division. This was determined by analyzing the
usage from March 2023 through February 2024 and calculating the revenues with the current
rates ($3.65 per 1,000 gallons for residential water and $4.37 per 1,000 gallons for residential
sewer). Usage has been stable over the last few years, so it is unlikely that usage will be
significantly higher or lower in the next year.
WATER: As identified in the FY24/25 Budget, the Water Division’s operational expenses are
$2,573,791. The estimated operational revenues are $2,500,920 with the current water rates of
$3.65 per 1,000 gallons (residential) and $3.93 per 1,000 gallons (congregate care). This analysis
therefore identifies that the Water Division is currently underfunded based on the existing rates,
and it is recommended that the water rate be increased by 5%. This will result in a new residential
rate of $3.83 per 1,000 gallons and the congregate care rate at $4.13 per 1,000 gallons
respectively, with estimated total operational revenues of $2,617,597.
SEWER: The FY24/25 Sewer Division Budget identifies operational expenses at $3,661,956 with
estimated operational revenues at $3,532,740 based on the current sewer rates of $4.37 per
1,000 gallons (residential) and $4.22 per 1,000 gallons (congregate care). This analysis therefore
identifies that the Sewer Division is currently underfunded based on the existing rates, and it is
recommended that the sewer rate be increased by 5%. This will result in a new residential rate
of $4.59 per 1,000 gallons and congregate care rate of $4.43 per 1,000 gallons, respectively, with
estimated total operational revenues of $3,666,320.
Users of City water and sewer who are located outside the corporate limits of the City will
continue to pay at a rate of 1.5 times the approved rate for users within the corporate limits;
those rates have been adjusted accordingly within the attached Ordinance. If approved, the
proposed rate adjustments would go into effect as of August 1, 2024.
The chart on the following page identifies and compares the rate change total dollar impact on
various bi-monthly usage levels. The BLUE column represents total water and sewer charges
based on gallons consumed at the current residential water rate of $3.65/1,000 gallons and
sewer rate of $4.37/1,000 gallons. The ORANGE column represents total water and sewer
charges based on gallons consumed at the proposed new residential water rate of $3.83/1,000
gallons and sewer rate of $4.59/1,000 gallons. The GREEN column represents the total monetary
variance from the existing rate to the new rate (ORANGE column minus BLUE Column). The
YELLOW column represents the annual increase of the Water and Sewer bill with consistent usage
over the six bi-monthly cycles.

RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made to adopt an Ordinance
Amending Title 9-2C-5 Subsection B and Title 9-4B-1 Subsection F of the McHenry Municipal
Code in relation to Waterworks and Wastewater Rates.
64

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: July 1, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Ryan Buss Skate Zone Skate Park Repairs
Attachment: Skate Park Inspection Report
Skate Park Repair Quote
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
In a recent inspection of the skate park, a number of maintenance issues were discovered. Staff
has secured a quote in the amount of $40,000 from a specialized skate company, American Ramp
Company, to complete this work. As this is specialized work, staff is requesting to waive the
bidding process and proceed with the supplied quote.
BACKGROUND:
The McHenry Zone Skate Park, now the Ryan Buss Zone Skate Park, was built in 2001. At that
time, it consisted of the concrete bowl section as well as wooden ramp section on a 100’ by 100’
concrete pad. In the years since, the wooden ramps deteriorated and were ultimately removed
in 2015. While the concrete bowl section has held up very well, it has begun to show signs of its
significant use. To date, nothing other than routine maintenance has been performed to the
concrete section.
American Ramp Company specializes in design, construction, analysis and repair of skate and bike
parks throughout the county. They were brought in to complete an inspection and analysis of
the park in 2023. This information was used for planning and budgeting of the maintenance to
be performed. This analysis is attached and provided with the supplement. (Note that the initial
analysis did not fulfill the requirement for the City to pay prevailing wage; staff spoke with
representatives from American Ramp Company and received an updated price that does reflect
this requirement.) This price was formalized with a proposal in March 2024 for $40,000 to
complete the work in the 2024/25 budget year.
ANALYSIS:
The Skate Park is a very popular amenity as part of the parks system, particularly with teenage
users. It has also typically been one of the more popular skate parks in the in the area, especially
with the donated addition of lights. It has served the parks system and the community very well,
only requiring routine maintenance and a regular cleaning of the concrete and the grounds.
68
The analysis from the American Ramp Company clearly laid out that there are a number of issues
that need to be addressed more thoroughly. This is not work that can be completed by a non-
specialized concrete company, as the cracks are in the ramps, bowls and skate elements
themselves. Items such as holes, cracks, expansion joints, sealing and installing new coping will
all be addressed through the proposal. Due to the specialized nature of the work, staff is
requesting to waive the competitive bidding process and proceed with American Ramp Company,
a firm that has an existing relationship with the McHenry Parks and Recreation Department.
If approved, the work would be scheduled after the start of the school year to minimize the
impact on its usage this summer. This project is included in the FY2024/25 budget. It will make
the park an amenity the community can count on for years to come.
If City Council concurs then a motion should be considered to waive competitive bidding
and to approve a proposal from American Ramp Company for repairs at the Ryan Buss
Skate Zone Park in the amount of $40,000.

SKATEPARK INSPECTION REPORT | MCHENRY, IL
Our crew arrived on site at the skatepark working around the park to identify all areas in need
of repair. Surface cracks and holes in the concrete were identified in various areas of the park.
Expansion joints found with missing sealant that will need to be cleaned and re sealed with NP1.
It is recommended to reseal the entire park with gray concrete sealer to prevent moisture
soaking in and creating more issues. The sealer will also give the skatepark a fresh look.
In order to make these repairs, American Ramp Company would send a small crew to replace
missing coping, V-Groove all cracks in order to patch, clean and seal all expansion joints, and
reseal entire skatepark. This process would take two weeks max. The below price will include
materials and labor for all the listed repairs.
Mobilization, Materials, Labor - $33,900.00
*Cost does not include prevailing wage. Please call for revised quote if prevailing wage.
Pictures attached show all items that could be addressed upon our return if necessary.
Any further questions can be directed to Tommy McHenry at 417-621-5881.

REGULAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: July 1, 2024
TO: Mayor Jett and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
Greg Gruen, P.E., Engineer
RE: Miller Riverfront Park Parking Lot Paving Project
ATT: Agreement with Curran Contracting Company
Bid Tab
Resolution 23-1 Commitment for Participation
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider awarding the bid for the Miller Riverfront Park Parking Lot
Paving Project to Curran Contracting Company in the amount of $202,865.
BACKGROUND:
In September of 2020, the City applied for a $150,000 Boat Access Area Development (BAAD)
Grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The grant application was discussed at
a public meeting at that time and the decision was made to apply for the grant. In December of
2022, staff received notification that we were awarded $150,000 for the project. On September
6, 2023, the City passed Resolution 23-1 committing to participate in the grant program with an
estimated match of $50,000 for a total project cost of $200,000.
On May 16, 2024, seven (7) bids were received for the project. A summary of the bids is as
follows:
Curran Contracting Company $202,865.00
Schroeder Asphalt Services $210,241.00
Abbey Construction Co. $210,520.38
Peter Baker & Son Co. $212,969.70
Chicagoland Paving Contractors $219,000.00
Maneval Construction Co., Inc. $232,316.87
Everlast Blacktop $236,704.54
97
The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest
quality of programs and services in a customer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
The Engineer’s Estimate of Cost for this project was $200,000. After a detailed review of the bids
and line items, staff has concluded that Curran Contracting Company is the lowest responsible
bidder with a bid of $202,865, which is 1.4% above the engineer’s estimate.
The project was budgeted for the 2024/2025 fiscal year using developer donations. The
2024/2025 budget includes $200,000 for the project, with funding of $150,000 from the grant
and $50,000 from the developer donation fund for a total anticipated cost of $200,000. The
additional cost of $2,865 above the engineer’s estimate will also be funded with developer
donations.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has analyzed and checked the bids for accuracy and recommends awarding the contract to
Curran Contracting Company. This is a unit price contract, and the final cost of construction will
be based upon final measured and documented quantities. If approved, the work is anticipated
to be completed in September 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended to award a UNIT PRICE contract for the Miller
Riverfront Park Parking Lot Paving Project to Curran Contracting Company in the amount of
$202,865. The final contract price will be based on actual verified quantities installed and may
vary from the original contract amount.

RE: McHenry Riverwalk Phase 4 AT&T and Comcast Line Burial
ATTACHMENTS: City Council Supplement – November 6, 2023
AT&T Line Burial Proposal
Comcast Line Burial Proposal
Budget Amendment Ordinance
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The City is in the process of burying the ComEd power lines and removing the ComEd poles
adjacent to the Riverwalk Phase 4 construction. HR Green is the consulting engineer on this
project, which was approved by City Council on November 6, 2023. As construction has
progressed, it was noted that coordination with AT&T and Comcast was not included in the scope
of the approved project. Both AT&T and Comcast have utilities on the ComEd poles that will also
need to be buried. In order to complete the project, bury the lines and remove the poles, AT&T
is requesting a not to exceed amount of $37,569.31, and Comcast is requesting $5,148.67 for
their portion of the same work. The funds would be attributed to the TIF Fund and would also
require a budget amendment to the FY2024/25 budget.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has been working with HR Green on overall engineering plans for Riverwalk Phase 4 since
September of 2022. Throughout the course of assembling these plans, numerous conversations
were had with Engineering staff regarding the burial of the overhead lines and the removal of
the poles adjacent to the project. HR Green coordinated with ComEd and prepared the plan for
this burial. This plan was presented to City Staff in April of 2023. They continued to refine the
plans and coordinate the work with the utilities. This refinement included meetings on site with
contractors and utilities, primarily ComEd. This coordination culminated with the proposal from
private contractors for the work to install the conduit for the utilities and for the private services
to the buildings. This was outlined in the supplement that was presented to and approved by
City Council at the November 6, 2023, meeting (attached).
103
As the work has progressed, it became evident that AT&T and Comcast had not been involved in
the coordination of the line burial. Adjustments to the plan and work being completed by
Associated Electric became necessary to add conduit to account for them. In an onsite
coordination meeting with all entities in May, AT&T and Comcast both expressed that work
orders would need to be entered into with the City of McHenry as they were not a part of any
ComEd plans, work orders or contracts.
AT&T and Comcast recently submitted those plans to city staff. AT&T’s Letter for Custom Work
and Estimate of Actual Cost outline a not-to-exceed amount of $37,569.31 to final engineer and
complete their portion of the line burial. Comcast presented a Construction Invoice for
$5,148.67. Not included in this supplement and for discussion at a subsequent meeting will be a
Task Order and Scope of Services that HR Green is requesting for this coordination work that is
claimed to be outside the scope of services for the Riverwalk Phase 4 Engineering. These costs
are estimated at $9,000.
Work has continued to progress; however, to complete the work, bury the lines and remove the
appropriate poles, AT&T and Comcast must also be included. Costs for the additional utility work
are TIF eligible expenses. In order to execute these contracts and administer payment to the
utilities, a budget amendment in the amount of $42,717.98 must be made to the FY2024/25
budget.
ANALYSIS:
The burial of the overhead lines and removal of the poles adjacent to Phase 4 of the Riverwalk
has proven to be extremely intricate and has presented a number of challenges. The attached
agreements appear to be the last hurdles to accomplishing that goal.
AT&T representatives stated when questioned about the estimated cost, that it was a not to
exceed contract and the City would be billed only for the work required to complete the project.
As stated, each of the costs are TIF eligible; however, they were not planned, and would require
the appropriate budget amendment to complete.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, then staff requests that a motion be made; 1) For the execution of
the Custom Work Agreement with AT&T in a not to exceed amount of $37,569.31; 2) To sign a
Construction Invoice with Comcast in the amount of $5,148.67 to complete the line burial
adjacent to the proposed Phase 4 of the Riverwalk; and 3) pass an ordinance for a budget
amendment to the FY2024/25 budget to utilize funds from the TIF Fund in the amount of
$42,717.98.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: November 6, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: McHenry Riverwalk Phase 4 Power Pole Burial
ATTACHMENTS: Electrical/Conduit Engineering Plan
ComEd Power Pole Burial Proposal
Associated Electric Proposal
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Included in the FY2023/24 budget is $150,000 for the burial of the
power poles behind Riverside Drive to accommodate the expansion of the Riverwalk between
the Pearl Street and Route 120 Bridges. Staff in conjunction with the McHenry Riverwalk
Foundation President John Smith have worked with HR Green and ComEd to finalize a plan and
solicit quotes for the work. There are two contracts in conjunction with the proposed work: a
contract with ComEd in the amount of $69,988.21 for the removal of the pole and transformer
and the subsequent placement of a new ground transformer. The second quote is from
Associated Electrical for running of all necessary conduit and wires from the relocated poles to
the new underground transformer as well as running new service conduit and wire to the existing
businesses. This contract is $66,500 for the ComEd conduit portion and $13,000 for the portion
to service the business. In total combined proposed work is quoted at $149,488.21.
BACKGROUND: For many years, in fact since the inception of the Riverwalk concept, there have
been discussions regarding burying the power pole with the aerial transformer behind Riverside
Drive and adjacent to the Riverwalk in that section. Discussion really began in earnest last fall as
the city completed Phase 3 of the Riverwalk from the Pearl Street Bridge to Weber’s Park. The
completion of this phase left the section between the Pearl Street Bridge and the Route 120
Bridge as the last remaining section to make a continuous walk from Weber’s Park to Green
Street.
The city staff along with the Mr. Smith and staff from HR Green have been working on this and a
definitive plan since last September. There have been innumerable meetings regarding the phase
and this challenge of the power pole and transformer in particular. ComEd representatives,
engineers, contractors, business owners and staff have met time and again to solve this issue to
105
everyone’s satisfaction and to do so within the budget approved by city council earlier this April.
Attached is a plan developed by HR Green and in conjunction with parameters laid forth by
ComEd that finally provides the road map to remove the aerial pole with the transformer and a
multitude of wires behind Riverside drive and replaces it with a ground transformer.
The plan calls for underground conduit (purple) both under Pearl Street and also along the
river. This conduit would be utilized by ComEd for their infrastructure providing a power feed
to a “down pole” and subsequent power to the new transformer location. A return (light blue)
conduit would provide the secondary electric service. The orange lines (by ComEd) would
remain as overhead services to the businesses. The last aspect is the (green) conduit back to
serve the businesses. These were agreed to as part of the signed easement documents for the
installation of Phase 4 of the Riverwalk.
This plan was then disseminated to four local contractors with expert knowledge in this area
and meetings scheduled with each to discuss the nuances of the project on site. One of the
four opted not to provide a quote, while the other three each did return a proposal. The chart
below breaks down the results:
Contractor Base Bid Secondary Alternate Private Feeds
Associated Electric $42,000 $24,500 $13,000
Carey Electric $84,507 $14,700
Ridgeview Electric $79,300 Not Included
In addition to the work that is the responsibility of the city listed in the paragraph and table
above, there is also pole work, wiring and feeds as well as setting the new transformer for the
underground conduit that will be performed by ComEd under the provided contract in the
amount of $69,988.21. In total the two amounts compiled equal $148,488.21. The City budget
for this project, as a whole, was approved by city council as an expenditure from the TIF Fund for
$150,000.
ANALYSIS: The almost impossible task of solving the plan for the removal of this power pole has
been completed and finalized with all the parties involved. The burial of this pole and
transformer clears a final roadblock for this section of the Riverwalk as well. The long-held goal
of a continuous walk along the Fox River and Boone Creek from Weber’s Park to Green Street in
finally with in sight.
John Smith in particular has fought on behalf of the city and spent countless hours to work with
staff, contractors and private businesses to have this proposal before council for consideration.
The hard work accounted for the best possible numbers for the project coming in just under
budget while also fulfilling the city’s responsibilities as laid out in the easement documents. The
city has time and again proven that the Riverwalk is symbiotic with its neighbors and this portion
and project is another prime example.
106
Staff is requesting the waiver of competitive bidding on this project as the nuances and
complexity of public work, working with ComEd and the work with private business required the
expertise and existing relationships to navigate, as multiple meetings were required to arrive at
a point where the contractors felt comfortable with the conditions of the requested quote.
As for timing of the project, that will be set by the availability of equipment from ComEd.
Transformers have been requiring extended period of time to acquire. It is the hope to have the
work completed by this coming spring. Again, this would set the table for the possibility of
bidding Phase 4 of the Riverwalk and beginning of construction in the coming fiscal year if city
council chose to proceed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, then staff requests that a motion be made for the execution of the
contract with ComEd in the amount of $69,988.21 and 2) waive competitive bidding and accept
the low quote from Associated Electric, including the base bid, the price for the work from the
transformer to the ComEd pole and the price from the transformer to the businesses for a total
amount of $79,500 to complete the power pole burial adjacent to the proposed Phase 4 of the
Riverwalk.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: July 1, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: McHenry Riverwalk Phase 4 Proposed Change Order
ATTACHMENTS: Alliance Proposal
Map of Proposed Change
Budget Amendment Ordinance
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Recent heavy rains have highlighted a recurring drainage issue that should be addressed as part
of the ongoing Riverwalk Phase 4 construction. As a result, staff and consulting engineers are
requesting a change order to add approximately 110’ of curbing and a catch basin at a cost of
$19,095. In conjunction with the proposed change order is an ordinance for the approval of a
budget amendment to the FY2024/25 budget for the TIF Fund.
BACKGROUND:
It has recently come to light that there is a reoccurring washout issue in the area of the Riverwalk
Phase 4. As part of the project, a new concrete ramp has been poured along the eastern edge of
the parking lot. The ramp descends from a landing point coming off the Pearl Street Bridge to
the point where it is flush with the boardwalk of the Riverwalk. A planting area with mulch and
decorative grasses is planned along this edge of the parking lot, which is currently open cut.
Rains sheet draining eastward toward the river are gathered along this edge, then run south
seeking a low point. Recent rains have illustrated what happens with the drainage, especially in
more extreme situations; significant amounts of gravel and debris are washed out and over the
Riverwalk, as shown in the image below.
116
With the currently planned planting area, it has become clear that the accumulation of water will
continue to move mulch and dirt down the slope, creating an ongoing problem as material is
washed into the parking lot and across the boardwalk. The City’s consulting engineers, along
with in-house Public Works and Engineering staff, have proposed to add curb and gutter, as well
as a catch basin, to collect the water and drain it to the river through a pipe. Alliance Contractors
has provided a price of $22,535 to complete this work; however, with the addition of curbing,
there will be an offsetting deduction of 8 parking bumpers totaling $3,440, for a total final
addition of $19,095.
ANALYSIS:
The addition of the curb and gutter provides a number of advantages versus the currently
planned sheet draining to the mulch bed. First and foremost, it solves the drainage issue in regard
to washouts continually occurring as water moves off of Pearl Street, south and east through the
lot. Landscape material would be protected and no longer deposited into the parking lot or over
the boardwalk. Water will be guided to a catch basin, collected and drained to the river as it is
in a number of other locations along the project. The curb and gutter will assist with the parking
lot elevations as it relates to paving to the lot. Drain tiles and gutter drains can be tied into this
117
catch basin, so that no one drain is overwhelmed during rain events. Lastly, it will also assist with
the overall drainage to the lot, as an alleyway runs directly from Riverside Drive east to the river
and the point of the proposed catch basin.
This solution was arrived at and agreed upon by City staff, John Smith and Alliance as a best
solution after examining a number of other alternatives. Alliance Contractors has provided a
price of $22,535 to complete this work. As stated above, the addition of curbing will mean that
there will be a deduct of (8) parking bumpers that would be redundant and unnecessary. The unit
price for parking bumpers is $430, creating a total deduct of $3,440. This deduction was
documented in an email from Alliance. With the deduction, the final total price of the proposed
change order is $19,095. This is also the ideal time to complete the work, prior to the parking lot
being paved and any landscaping going in.
A budget amendment to the FY2024/25 budget would be required with funds coming from the
TIF Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, then staff requests that a motion be made to 1) approve the change
order to the Riverwalk Phase 4 contract with Alliance Contractors in the amount of $19,095 for
the addition of curb and gutter and a catch basin; and 2) to execute an ordinance for a budget
amendment to the FY2024/25 budget to utilize funds from the TIF Fund in the amount of
$19,095.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: July 1, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Pickleball Expansion
Attachment: Aerial of the Proposed Expansion
Parks Developer Donation Budget Amendment Ordinance
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Pickleball has been one of the most requested additions to the Parks and Recreation inventory.
To meet this demand, staff is proposing converting a 100’ x 100’ concrete area near the existing
Skate Park to six (6) new pickleball courts. American Sealcoating has provided a quote of $24,000
to paint the courts. Staff has been unable to secure any additional proposals and is requesting to
waive the competitive bidding requirements and proceed with American Seal Coating. The
project will also require the installation of posts, nets, fencing and a new walkway; a budget
amendment of $10,000 is requested from the Parks Developer Donations Fund for this portion
of the project.
BACKGROUND:
Pickleball is currently the fastest growing sport trend in the United States. The demand in
McHenry has skyrocketed. The City has a current dedicated inventory of four pickleball courts,
with two each at Knox and Petersen Parks. Additionally, two of the city’s four tennis courts are
striped to accommodate pickleball play. This brings the total maximum available courts to six.
However, the demand has continued to increase.
Alderwoman Miller approached staff at the end of May this year after receiving multiple requests
for additional courts. The discussion was had regarding the cost-effective option of utilizing a
dormant portion of the skate park, as it was essentially already a close to playable surface. This
area has been unused for a number of years; it has previously served as the wooden ramp section
of the Skate Park, as well as a “Safetytown” initiative that was not widely used. The park has
sufficient parking, and the proposed court area is fenced. However, the courts would need to be
painted, posts and nets purchased, and the addition of some small fencing between courts to
prevent balls being hit onto other courts during play would need to be added.
Staff was able to secure a quote from American Sealcoating in the amount of $24,000 to paint
the courts. Pickleball posts and nets are approximately $700 per set, accounting for $4,200 total
123
for the six courts. Fencing between courts to assist with game play was priced at $3,000 - $4,000.
Finally, an improved asphalt path to the courts accounts for approximately $2,000.
There is $25,000 in the FY2024/25 budget for improvements at the skate park area. An additional
$10,000 would be required to complete this project. These funds would be utilized from the
Parks Developer Donations Fund, which would require a budget amendment.
ANALYSIS:
This area of the skate park is currently unused. It is also a relatively easy transformation and fills
a need that is being consistently requested by the community. Having a dedicated area for
pickleball will also help in ensuring larger groups do not force tennis players off courts, as again
the City has a total of four tennis courts in the parks inventory. Even tennis courts that are not
intended for pickleball are being utilized by participants who mark courts with sidewalk chalk.
This addition will also minimize the conflicts between parks programming and open play
pickleball that the department has experienced in the last year.
The waiver of bids is being requested as staff has been unable to secure proposals from identified
other firms that perform this work. The Parks Department has utilized American Sealcoating for
previous courts at Knox Park, Fox Ridge Park, Shamrock Park and Petersen Park. American
Sealcoating is a firm that has continually done an excellent job with the courts and repainting.
The implementation of pickleball in this location represents an expansion of recreation
opportunities and is a perfect candidate for the Parks Developer Donation Fund use. Each of the
items listed previously would be essential to providing a quality user experience. Benches would
also be added to the park.
In staff’s opinion, the proposed expansion presents the best and most economical option to
expand pickleball offerings in the City of McHenry.
If City Council concurs then a motion should be considered to 1) waive competitive bidding
and approve a proposal from American Sealcoating for painting of pickleball courts adjacent
to the Ryan Buss Skate Zone Park at Knox Park in the amount of $24,000; and 2) pass an
Ordinance Amending the FY 2024/25 Budget to utilize $10,000 from the Parks Developer
Donations Fund to fund the necessary amenities for the addition of the 6 pickleball courts.

Shop & Dine Rewards Program
Staff held a kickoff meeting with several businesses and community partners to launch its Shop
& Dine Rewards Program, which is a shop local program. This program allows consumers to
shop local and earn 5% rewards at local McHenry businesses using an Open Rewards App which
can be download from the App Store/Google Play. A soft launch will be initiated June 28 to
work out some of the bugs with the app and a more formal kickoff is set for the first/second
week of July with multiple forms of advertising planned. This is really a pilot program which
was part of the 24’-25’ fiscal year budget to encourage people to shop local and $2500 in
rebates was allocated towards the program. Depending on its success will determine how staff
proceeds in the future. If any of the Council members would like to learn more about this
program, please visit shopndinemchenry.com (the new landing page is not live as of this writing
but will be in the next couple of days) or contact Director Martin.
Naturally McHenry County Annual Dinner

Huntley. Naturally McHenry County is the City’s primary partner in assisting with tourism
marketing and advertising as well as special events and recently completed a mini guide to the
City of McHenry.
1402 N Riverside Drive and 1005 N Front Street
At the request of Alderman Santi, I wanted to provide Council with an update on the status of
1402 N Riverside Drive as well as 1005 N Front Street. The property at 1402 N Riverside Drive,
the first floor of the building (main floor) is vacant and is currently listed for lease.
Additionally, Schopen Pest Solutions now operates their business out of Lake Barrington and no
longer utilizes 1005 N Front Street or 4915 West Elm Street for their offices. Therefore, 1005 N
Front Street is currently listed on the multiple listing service, as well as the property at 4915 W
Elm Street.
Façade Grant Applications
Façade Grant Applications are due June 30th after which a staff committee will convene, review
and score the grants based on a set of rubrics previously determined and make
recommendations to the City Council. As of this writing there have been nine façade grant
129
applications received by the Economic Development Department. Staff hopes to have the
applications before the City Council for consideration at the first or second meeting in August.

Riverwalk Phase 4 Construction Update
Most all of the walk itself is complete at this point. As of writing this, the brick paver section
was entirely complete as was the boardwalk portion. An accessible ramp was installed, and
stairs were formed and expected to be poured on 6/27/24. The bollards along the walkway on
the boardwalk section are installed and working. Bollards for the south section have not come
in yet. Pending council action on the 7/1 supplements, the final touches can be expected,
including repaving of the parking lot area in the next two weeks. The remaining items will be
some lighting and primarily the decorative railings. Staff will review the project and hope to
130
utilize steel special event barricades to be able to open the walk to pedestrians by the time of
the second weekend of Fiesta Days.
Riverwalk Electrical
This project has proven to be a bit more challenging. ComEd expects to be pulling wires for
their portion on 7/8/24. Continued coordination with AT&T and Comcast will occur after the
outcome of the 7/1 meeting.

The building itself is 85% complete with drywall being installed this week. The well and the
directional bore for the sewer line are expected in the next two weeks.
Pollinator Garden Expansion at Petersen Park
Volunteers from the Small Water Education, Youth and Family Center and the C de C were on
site at the west end of the Petersen Park Beach area adjacent to the pond. The volunteers
more than doubled the size of the existing pollinator garden. Parks and Recreation Staff
performed all of the prep work and provided mulch for the project.
