CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ross Polerecky, Community Development Director
Bill Hobson, Parks and Recreation Director
FOR: August 19th, 2024 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Authorization to Waive Competitive Bidding and Purchase One Parks Maintenance
Vehicle and One City Hall Maintenance Vehicle
ATT: Vehicle and Vehicle Accessory Information
Agenda Item Summary: Staff is requesting authorization to purchase two maintenance vehicles that were
approved in the FY24/25 budget year.
Analysis: Included in the FY24/25 budget was the purchase of two pickup trucks, one for city hall
maintenance and one for parks maintenance. The city hall maintenance vehicle, a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500
regular cab, has a purchase price of $52,106.03 with an additional $8,995.07 needed to outfit the truck
with a snowplow and strobe lights. The Parks Maintenance vehicle, a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 extended
cab, has a purchase price of $53,241.03 with an additional $805.25 to outfit the truck with strobe lights.
Ordering vehicles the past few years has been rather difficult with delivery dates often exceeding one year
after purchase, however, these two vehicles are on site at a local dealership, and the city can take
immediate delivery. Due to the immediate availability of these vehicles, staff is also requesting the waiver
of competitive bidding. The purchase of these two vehicles does not exceed the budgeted amount set
forth in the FY24/25 budget.
Recommendation: Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made to waive
competitive bidding and authorize the purchase of two maintenance vehicles from Castle Auto Group
for a combined price not to exceed $114,148.00

Individual Action Item Agenda
A. Zoning Variance & CUP at 3111 IL Route 120
A motion to pass an ordinance granting a Zoning Variance and Conditional Use Permit
to allow an Open Sales Lot in conjunction with Automotive and Recreational Vehicle
Sales at 3111 IL-120 (Director Polerecky)
The petitioner was present for questions if needed.
Alderman McClatchey had a few questions for the petitioner, wanted to know if the number of
cars could be 20-40, the lot may be further than first known so the number of cars is not
determined yet.
Alderman Glab has concerns about the house on that south lot and how long it will take to do
so, per the petitioner stated that it is ironed out just paving logistics would be next.
There is about 42 feet of grassy area, going to move the paved parking lot further back.
Was able to view the updated survey to Alderman Glab, this has not been recorded to the
county yet. Alderman Glab referred this to Attorney McCardle, this survey will still trump the
county. It is a licensed surveyor per Director Polerecky. Alderman Glab asked if this property
is an investment for Lazy Chimp, to put buyers and sellers together. Alderman Glab is hoping
to look for other entities than car lots to fill in the spaces.
Alderman Koch is the same company that put in for the façade grant, and that was also

C. Use Variance at 1401 N Riverside Drive
A motion to pass an ordinance granting a Use Variance to allow Outdoor Live
Entertainment at 1401 N Riverside Drive (Director Polerecky)
Alderman McClatchey wanted to know how many bars and restaurants have open bands,
currently Vicki’s, DC Cobbs, Grinders formerly, VFW for some examples per Director
Polerecky. The Planning and Zoning did restrict some of the requests. Would like a single
guitarist with a small amplifier and had greatly reduced their ask. Said the establishment looks
great but would like to see the outdoor entertainment maybe 2-3 times a year.
The petitioners were present and Alderman McClatchey wanted to know what percentage is
added to their business typically plus or minus 200 people, the one large event that they had
was about 1,000 patrons. Alderman McClatchey is concerned about the parking. The
petitioners were thinking of moving their outdoor grill to accommodate the parking. They would
like to draw people in to create more residual businesses to have more events even if smaller.
Alderman Koch wanted to know if there could be a trial at the events, per the petitioners it will
take some time to plan as well, making sure they are not competing with other events in town.
Would like to do something end of September or October time.
A conditional use can be revoked at any time per Director Polerecky.

Alderwoman Miller is in support of the request, feels it’s a perfect fit,
Alderman Glab wanted to know the cut-off time, cannot support something that goes past 11
PM.
Alderman Santi, would argue that this establishment is in the heart of the downtown district,
hear there were some complaint calls three calls from 8 PM, and cannot understand why there
is an issue with one business where there is a park playing music on Thursday nights and a
banquet hall that plays music at their events. We can bring it up at the next meeting and shut
it down if needed. Would like to know what other elected officials have to say.
Alderwoman Bassi wanted to know if the residents would be comfortable so she asked
Alderman McClatchey and his ward. Would like 10 pm as the cut-off noise preference and three
times a year as an event schedule.
Alderman Davis would like Director Polerecky to review the standard ordinance, typically some
guidance needs to be set with these requests. In this case, the sound will travel, but looking
within reason would like to hold these events. Only one-time slot per month is being chosen by
the petitioners. Per Alderman Davis, seems they comply with what has been in the past, not
seeing an issue here.
Petitioners asked for The Council to reconsider the existing motion, after further explanation.
Public Comment: Kim, a resident and neighbor of The Courthouse, thanked the petitioners
for the building that they created. Stated that the music is really loud and it is rattling her
windows. The petitioners stated that they would meet with her and talk to her about the volume
etc., stated that he would accommodate her and is willing to meet with the resident.
Philip, husband to Kim resident and neighbor to The Courthouse, talked about the tents on the
far Northwest corner of the lot and stated that grilling in his backyard is like having a concert,
but is a concession for three times a year. The noise was reduced after he called the police.
They are creating a nuisance because he can hear the noise with the windows closed. Wanted
to know how the noise ordinance would be enforced since it is very complicated.
*Clerks note: this was the motion that Alderman McClatchey had proposed: 3 events per year
amplification allows 2 per week for non-amplification all events must end at 10 pm, revisit next
year to tweak it up and down.
A motion was made by Alderman McClatchey and seconded by Alderman Glab to
approve Individual Agenda Items as presented: Roll Call: Vote: 3-ayes: Alderman Glab,
Alderman McClatchey, Alderwoman Bassi. 4-nays-Alderman Santi, Alderman Davis, Alderman

D. Fence Variance at 5210 W Greenbrier Drive
A motion to pass an ordinance granting a Variance from the City of McHenry Fence
Regulations for the property at 5210 W Greenbrier Drive (Director Polerecky)
Alderman Glab will be voting for this but total inconsistency and all variances need to come to
The City, that is where he stands on it.
Director Polerecky, there will be a contract that will help with the variances including corner lots
moving forward which will answer many of Alderman Glab’s questions.

Alderman Santi is well overdue it will connect the back of John Street which will make it a
smooth environment.
Alderman Koch discussed with Director Wirch, learned how expensive the plumbing is, and
how he explained it now understands why it is pricey.

Hobson.

Riverwalk Place, but did not want open liquor the entire time on their property.
Alderman McClatchey would like to revisit this in a year to see if there are any problems.
Alderman Bassi is not ok with number four, if they are drinking should be limited to the park
only.

H. Façade Grants
A motion to award façade grants for Fiscal Year 24/25 (Director Martin)
Alderman Koch wanted to know why there would be more money than $5,000, wanted to know
why they were given extra money. Alderman Davis commented on the Fox Hole technically the
building is underground technically the square footage is not just that small piece.
Director Martin spoke about the lineal frontage for the Law Offices Denise Kuzniewski and how
they ended up getting more for their façade grant as well. Alderman Koch would like to see
other businesses in McHenry also get a piece of it instead of allowing more, and would like the
rules to be followed.
Alderwoman Bassi agrees with Alderman Koch would like to have seen Windhill receive more
because they are high visibility.
Alderman Davis spoke about Rita’s and the parking lot and how they would need more help
with being high visibility.
Alderman Glab stated that there have been more than two or three of these that have been
twisted. The frontage of the building itself is a façade grant. It should be the permanent structure
itself to help make it in decent shape. Would be happy to not see this again not wanting to give
money away.
Alderwoman Miller is grateful and has improved many businesses that feel it is a success for
The City, would like to see a column that explains the impacts of a corner or public space. In
alignment with the ask, there still is money available for future asks.
Alderman McClatchey is in support of this to help support small businesses, and maybe fine-
tune this a little more.
Alderman Santi wanted to know if we are not maxed out, confirmed by Director Martin, there
are no other applications at this time. There is still money in the budget to move forward with
more grants. Wanted to know if there is a way to put a number on existing business for 2-5
years to apply for example.
Alderwoman Bassi asked if this could be revised, per Mayor Jett this is it.
Alderman Davis stated that other businesses asked however they did not fall into the criteria
that were to be looked at. Many were denied because of it.
A motion was made by Alderwoman Miller and seconded by Alderman Santi to approve
Individual Agenda Items as presented: Roll Call: Vote: 4-ayes: Alderman Santi, Alderman
McClatchey, Alderman Davis, Alderwoman Miller. 3-nays- Alderman Glab, Alderwoman Bassi,

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: August 19, 2024
TO: City Council
RE: Don’s Subs Liquor and Video Gaming
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
At the August 5, 2024, City Council meeting, an ordinance was passed to reduce the Class B
liquor licenses and the number of video gaming establishments. This was done because Don’s
Subs no longer had video gaming and was ready to move forward solely as a sandwich shop.
Don’s Subs has now reconsidered their position and has found a helper to run the business.
They are once again requesting liquor and video gaming. There will be no official change of
ownership, and Cary Kern has been and will continue to be 100% owner. If Council chooses to
reinstate and reapprove their licenses, an ordinance must be passed to increase the number of
Class B liquor licenses and location licenses for video gaming.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Class B liquor license and video gaming license to Don’s Subs, located at 323 Front
Street, and to pass an Ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 2, Alcoholic Liquor, Section 6,
License Classification and Fees; Approval Authority; Limitation on Number of Licenses; and
Title 4, Chapter 6, Video Gaming Terminals, Editing Section 4-6-8, Subsection A – Number of
Licenses, of the McHenry City Code

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John R. Birk, Chief of Police
FOR: August 19, 2024 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Amendments to City Code related to regulation of unplanned events within the City
ATT: Proposed Ordinance
Agenda Item Summary:
Staff is seeking Council’s authorization to amend the city code to (1) add a new section titled Nuisance
Gatherings, (2) amend Title 6, Chapter 8 to include “car meet ups” as a new event type requiring a permit,
(3) amend Title 7, Chapter 4 adding restrictions to the use of parking in the Downtown Business District
and (4) amend Title 7, Chapter 10 adding enhanced vehicle impound fees. Staff is present to answer any
questions Council may have.
Background:
This summer, informal events commonly known as “car meet ups” have been occurring in McHenry
multiple times a week. “Car meet ups” are impromptu gatherings of vehicles and their drivers in both
municipal and private (shopping centers) parking lots. Attendees of these meet ups come from all over
the Chicagoland area and southern Wisconsin, and many are not residents. Participants of these events
are not visiting our local businesses but rather just utilizing the space to gather and park. Our most
common locations of the meet ups include the Green Street Municipal Lot, the old Kmart lot on
Richmond Road and the 4400 W. Elm Street Shopping Center lot.
As a result of these car meet ups we see a negative impact on the community with issues such as: public
parking spaces being taken away from patrons of our downtown business districts and shopping mall
complexes, disagreements with other planned events such as the Monday night car show on Green Street,
littering, loud and obnoxious behavior, drag racing, squealing tires, reckless driving, sideshows, criminal
activity and other nuisance type behavior, all of which can affect the overall safety of the community.
Over the last few months, the police department has spent countless hours attempting to mitigate the meet
ups, all of which takes us away from our other duties. We have responded to reckless driving calls,
crashes, littering, assaults, disturbances and more. All these calls for service stem from these meet ups.
Analysis:
To date our efforts to mitigate the issues have not been successful because we do not have the proper
regulations in place established by ordinance.
To better address the issues that arise from these unplanned events and maintain the safety of our
community, staff examined how neighboring communities were handling similar issues and met with
legal counsel to discuss amendments to our City Code that would help us better regulated these types of
events. Safety is our primary goal.

B. Forfeit: If an administrative penalty is imposed by the Administrative Law Judge for
a violation of this chapter, the cash bond shall be forfeited to the City. However, if a
violation of this chapter is not proven by a preponderance of the evidence, the cash bond
shall be returned to the person posting the cash bond.
C. Held Until Decision Issued: All cash bonds posted pursuant to this chapter shall be
held by the City until the Administrative Law Judge has issued a decision.

An Ordinance Amending Title 6, Public Safety, and Title 7, Motor Vehicles and Traffic,
of the Municipal Code for the City of McHenry, Illinois Regarding Car Meetups
Page 12
When a vehicle is the subject to forfeiture proceedings by the City, the owner shall not be
permitted to post the cash bond and pay the towing and storage charges for release of the
vehicle until the forfeiture proceedings have concluded. In the event forfeiture of the vehicle
is granted by the court, these impoundment proceedings shall be dismissed.
7-10-9: ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY:
A. Debt Due: If an administrative penalty is imposed pursuant to this chapter, such
administrative penalty shall constitute a debt due and owing to the City. If a vehicle has
been impounded when such an administrative penalty is imposed, the City may seek to
obtain a judgment on the debt and enforce such judgment against the vehicle as provided
by law. Except as provided otherwise in this chapter, a vehicle shall continue to be
impounded until the administrative penalty is paid to the City and any applicable towing
and storage fees are paid to the towing agent, in which case possession of the vehicle
shall be given to the person who is legally entitled to possess the vehicle, or the vehicle is
sold or otherwise disposed of to satisfy a judgment to enforce a lien as provided by law.
B. Failure To Pay: If the administrative penalty and applicable fees are not paid within
thirty (30) days after an administrative penalty is imposed against an owner of record
who defaults by failing to appear at the hearing, the vehicle shall be deemed unclaimed
and shall be disposed of in the manner provided by law for the disposition of unclaimed
vehicles. In all other cases, if the administrative penalty and applicable fees are not paid
within thirty (30) days after the expiration of time at which administrative review of the
Administrative Law Judge’s determination may be sought, or within thirty (30) days
after an action seeking administrative review has been resolved in favor of the City,
whichever is applicable, the vehicle shall be deemed unclaimed and shall be disposed of
in the manner provided by law for the disposition of unclaimed vehicles under the
Illinois Vehicle Code. However, where proceedings have been instituted under State or
Federal Drug Asset Forfeiture Laws, disposal of the subject vehicle shall be consistent
with those proceedings.
7-10-10: VEHICLE POSSESSION:
A. Policy: Except as otherwise provided by law, no owner, lienholder or other person
shall be legally entitled to take possession of a vehicle impounded under this chapter
until the administrative penalty and fees applicable under this chapter have been paid.
However, whenever a person with a lien of record against an impounded vehicle has
commenced foreclosure proceedings, possession of the vehicle shall be given to that
person if he agrees in writing to refund the City the amount of the net proceeds of any
foreclosure sale, less any amounts required to pay all lienholders of record, not to exceed
the administrative penalty, plus the applicable fees.
B. Owner Of Record: For purposes of this chapter, the “owner of record” of a vehicle is
the record title holder as registered with the Illinois Secretary of State.
SECTION 7: If any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, sentence or provision of this
Ordinance shall be adjudged by any Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall
not affect, impair, invalidate or nullify the remainder thereof, which remainder shall remain and continue
in full force and effect.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: August 19, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: R.I.S.E. Foundation Benefit Concert
ATTACHMENTS: Park Layout Renderings
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: The R.I.S.E. Up Foundation is requesting the temporary use of
Petersen Park Thursday September 11, 2025, from 4:30pm – 10:30pm Friday September 12,
2025, from 4:30pm – 11pm and Saturday, September 13, 2025 from 3pm – 11pm for a three day
benefit concert with live music, food trucks and tents, sponsor tents, and alcohol sales. All
proceeds from the concert are to be utilized for a City of McHenry project that has yet to be
determined.
BACKGROUND: In 2019 a new not-for-profit corporation was created in our community
“organized exclusively for charitable, education, religious or scientific purposes within the
meaning of Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code specifically to fund projects for
children and their families as needed in the city of McHenry and/or McHenry County, Illinois.”
The R.I.S.E. Up Foundation stands for “Revitalize, Invest, Succeed, Encourage; as a community we
RISE to help future generations.” The Foundation was organized by Wayne and Amber Jett.
The RISE Up Foundation has contributed all of its profits from the events to the City of McHenry.
To date, $650,000 in total has been received in total contributions. The 2021 event contributed
$200,000 towards the Splash pad installation at Fort McHenry. The 2023 event raised $200,000
for the redesign and construction of Miller Point Park to house the McHenry Riverwalk Shoppes.
Additionally, $250,000 for the construction of the new amphitheater at Miller Point was
contributed from a donation by Gary Lang through the RISE Up Foundation. The upcoming 2024
concert is anticipated to add another $300,000+ to the total amount donated towards the City
of McHenry from the RISE Up Foundation. The proceeds from the 2024 event have been
earmarked for a fully accessible playground with a rubber play surface at Veteran’s Memorial
Park. A project for the proposed 2025 concert has not been identified at this time.
The concert dates for the 2025 show are proposed as Thursday September 11, 2025, Friday
September 12, 2025 and Saturday September 13, 2025. Thursday’s hours are proposed at
59
4:30pm – 10:30pm, Friday’s hours are proposed as 4:30pm – 11pm and Saturday proposed hours
would be 3pm – 11pm. Organizers are also requesting approval of a Special Event Liquor License
for the sale of alcohol in accordance with the similar events.
ANALYSIS: The benefit concert was approved by city council for 2021, 2022 and 2024. The RISE
Up Concert has become a keystone event for the City of McHenry. It is an event that the State
of Illinois’ Tourism entity ‘Enjoy Illinois’ has recognized and included in their tourism campaigns.
This recognition extends the reach and exposure for our community past the borders of Illinois
and brings exposure, visitors and tourism dollars to the community.
The RISE up Foundation is 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation that is looking to independently
hold a fundraising benefit concert that will ultimately provide a large benefit to residents and to
visitors. The city has a long history or working with or partnering these type of entities to
accomplish great things in the community. Entities such as the McHenry Township Fire
Protection District Burn Camp Fundraiser, Friends of Montini concert, the McHenry Rotary Noon
and Sunrise Clubs, the Kiwanis Club, The McHenry Riverwalk Foundation and of course the
McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce. All of these have hosted events varying in size and
cooperation from the city, but all have also given back significantly to the community.
At this time, a specific City of McHenry project has not identified as the benefactor for the 2025
event. However, once again RISE Up has pledged these funds towards a City of McHenry project
that will continue their legacy of creating an impact for the residents and the visitors to the City
of McHenry.
For the event, all net proceeds will be directed towards the City; for this reason staff is proposing
to waive all associated fees for the event as well as in-house staffing costs for the event.
Volunteers from the Rise Up Foundation will operate many aspects of the event including trash
pickup, parking, stage, and sound. Police will provide overall event security as will Fiesta Days
and Blues, Brews and BBQ’s. The Parks Department will also maintain a presence throughout the
duration of the event to assist where needed.
Any patron wishing to consume alcohol will be required to present identification and wrist
banded. Alcohol ticket sales will cease 30-minutes prior to festival closing times and actual
distribution of alcohol will cease 15 minutes prior to closing.
The timing of this supplement is necessary in order to secure contracts for highly competitive
national acts that this event has focused upon and their timely booking requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, then staff requests that a motion be made to grant the RISE Up
Foundation 1) use of Petersen park to setup, host, and cleanup for a benefit concert from
Thursday, September 11, 2025, through Saturday, September 13, 2025, 2) special event liquor
license for the sale of beer, wine, and malt liquor with drink ticket sales to cease 30-minutes
prior to park closure, and 3) a 100% reduction of the charges for city services incurred as a
result of this event.

RE: Revised Scope and Fee for Pavement Management Analysis
_____________________________________________________________________________________
DISCUSSION ITEM SUMMARY:
At a previous City Council meeting staff was requested to investigate a revised scope and fee for the
Pavement Analysis that was previously denied by City Council. It was also requested by the City Council
that the 10-year road program update presentation from may of 2021 be redistributed to all City Council
members. I have also included a list of all roads paved since 2019. This includes roads paved through any
grant programs and the statistics based on the 2019 study.

1 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) understands that the City of McHenry, Illinois (City) is requesting proposals for professional engineering services to resurvey the roads and provide updated rankings in both a written format and GIS shapefiles. This will consist of driving the City’s 130 centerline miles of roadway and evaluating the current condition of the roadway network and provide pavement condition index (PCI) information to help demonstrate the progress and allow the City to evaluate which roads need most attention in the next 5-years. ARA further understands that the 130 miles of roadway consists of 4.5 miles of Arterials, 38.5 miles of Collectors, 7.5 miles of Industrials, and 77.5 miles of Residentials, as well as an extra un-surveyed mile of alleyway. Figure 1 shows the City’s network segmentation as developed by ARA in conjunction with Chicago Metropolitan Authority for Planning (CMAP) in 2018.

2 SCOPE OF SERVICES ARA proposes the following tasks to ensure that the resources are used most efficiently to provide high quality deliverables to the City within the required timeline.
2.1 TASK 1 – PROJECT KICK-OFF AND RECORDS REVIEW ARA will coordinate with the City for an in-person kick-off meeting to discuss the following items:
• General project management
• Project schedule
• Specific deliverable requirements
• GIS shapefile for the City
• Network Segmentation In addition to the kick-off meeting, ARA anticipates regular correspondence with the City throughout the process to make sure the results meet the City’s specific needs.
2.2 TASK 2 – FIELD DATA COLLECTION AND PAVEMENT CONDITION RATING ARA owns and operates a fleet of Digital Survey Vehicles (DSV) that are equipped with 3-D
pavement surface scanning technology. ARA will utilize these vehicles to collect geo-located imagery for the City’s 130 centerline miles of roadway. ARA plans to collect images in a single direction in the outermost lane for roads with two lanes or less and collect images in both directions in the outermost lane for roads with three or more lanes. Data collection is expected to be completed in one trip. Because ARA has previous experience collecting the pavement information throughout the City, the routing process will be easier, thus leading to efficient data collection. ARA’s survey vehicle with laser measurement equipment is shown in Figure 2. Specific information that can be collected with ARA’s Digital Survey Vehicle as shown in Figure 3 includes:
• Enhanced right-of-way images: high-quality imagery is collected every 20 feet by the right-of-way camera
• Laser surface scans of the pavement; this data is transformed into downward images and can be used for automated crack detection
• Longitudinal profile data; collected through our standard, laser-based, profilometer.
• Transverse profile (rutting) data
• Faulting data (positive/negative)
• Roadway digital images: forward view, left view, right view, and downward view of the pavement, which will be taken at 20-ft intervals, provided in “jpg” format.

All the testing performed will be completed with the safety of both employees and road users in mind. If our technicians feel that data collection is unsafe due to roadway conditions (short lanes, heavy traffic, etc.), they will return later when conditions have improved. Once the digital data has been collected, ARA technicians will perform a modified PCI survey (automated) to determine the pavement condition based on the ASTM D6433 methodology. The distress quantities processed from the survey will be aggregated to calculate the PCI score. These PCI values will be for the length of the roadway from logical termini to termini. Each pavement section will be rated based on the PCI scale of 0 to 100. ARA will perform QC checks on at least 10% of the mileage to confirm the validity of the PCI scores.
2.3 TASK 4 –CONDITION REPORTING (DELIVERABLES) Following the PCI calculation, ARA will provide a draft written report to the City. The report will include, at a minimum, the average City-wide PCI, a listing of each individual street with PCI.

member of the team that

Introduction
FGM Architects was commissioned to prepare a facility condition analysis for the
McHenry Park District to document the condition of the existing Recreation
Center building to assess the existing conditions. A site walk took place on
May 17, 2024.
This facility assessment includes an evaluation of the existing Community
Building interior, exterior envelope, adjacent building hardscape and landscape,
and roof.
The City of McHenry is in the northeastern suburbs, 46 miles from Chicago and
covers an approximately 14.5 square mile area which includes 38 parks and
roughly 650 acres of parkland. The park district services over 28,000 individuals
in the area.
Per discussions with and information obtained from Park District, as well as on
site observations, this report was formed based on industry standards, code
requirements, and past project experience.

EXISTING BUILDING DESCRIPTION
The facility being assessed is the existing Recreation Center building located at
3636 Municipal Drive, McHenry, IL 60050, which is in the southeastern zone of
the city, just northeast of the intersection of Illinois Route 31 and Bull Valley
Road/Charles J Miller Memorial Hwy.
The existing Recreation Center building is a single-story masonry and brick unit
structure composed of a single main level. The footprint of the building has a
total gross square footage of 18,180 S.F.
The facility includes fitness space, dance space, exercise space, offices,
conference rooms, common space, babysitting room, (3) medium multi-
purpose-spaces, kitchen, and men’s and women’s locker & restrooms.
A cursory review of the facility was performed via visual observation only and
was not inclusive of any destructive testing.

ARCHITECTURAL OBSERVATION - SITE
An architectural review of the site was performed in a limited nature,
focusing hard and softscapes on the site directly adjacent to the exterior of
the building.
Site landscapes, plant beds and hardscapes in general are noted as
providing proper slope away from building for water runoff. Exterior
façade building weeps are being maintained properly where softscape and
mulch beds meet the exterior wall, allowing for proper wall cavity drainage
of water that may make its way behind the wall. Mulch beds sit below
flashing, weeps, and brick.
Site hardscapes and sidewalks are in good condition, no visible cracking or
spalling was present at time of assessment. Accessible sidewalk curb cut at
building entrance with raised tactile surface is in good condition.

9. Efflorescence visible at veneer wall system
ARCHITECTURAL OBSERVATIONS – Building Envelope
The exterior envelope consists of concrete veneer wall system with a brick
and stone veneer. Steel columns supported steel beams and joists at
exterior walls. Storefront glazing systems are present at punched openings
within exterior walls and larger wall openings and entrances.
FGMA observed vertical cracking at exterior concrete veneer wall system.
At several locations along each elevation. Cracking was present at top
and/or bottom along corners at glazed punched openings, at top of select
storefront entryways, and at veneer face locations between exterior
control joint locations. Cracking was observed to be hairline during
assessment walk, building movement or settling is a likely cause. Existing
façade control joints are present and spacing is consistent with best
construction practices.
It was observed that some downspout outlets allow water to be discharged
directly along building foundation. It is a preferred practice to discharge
rainwater away from edge of building to prevent water from entering back
into foundation wall. Downspout drain extensions can be installed to
better redirect rainwater away from the building.
It was observed that minor efflorescence is present at concrete veneer wall
system, at select location along north and south building elevations. It is
recommended that these locations be monitored and addressed for
needed remediation.

ARCHITECTURAL OBSERVATIONS – Building Envelope continued
The overall exterior metal fascia was viewed to be in good condition. No
visible separation of fascia panels at vertical or horizontal faces. There was
observed minor residue present along main entry fascia.
At the punched glazed opening, the metal flash sills were found to be in
good condition with no visible degradation. The associated facade below
shows no signs of water staining.
Door entryways were observed to all be in good working order, and proper
seals and sweeps are present to mitigate energy loss.

ARCHITECTURAL OBSERVATIONS – Roof
The roof buildup consists of an EPDM membrane atop a ½” fiberglass mat
gypsum coverboard, 5” of rigid insulation, installed on a 1-1/2” metal deck
roof. It is understood that the EPDM roof is original to the building.
The roof was observed to be in good condition. There was no visible signs
of seam separation, and flashing at walls and parapets was in good
condition.
The roof was viewed after recent rains in the area and showed little signs
of ponding outside of a select few locations at roof drains.
Roof levels maintain a good level of slope, and associated gutters and
downspouts were observed to be in good condition.

19. Storage room and shelving system
ARCHITECTURAL OBSERVATIONS - Interior
Interior finishes are all largely original to the building. Along the
administrative office corridor, an existing storage room was converted into
an additional office space.
Overall, the interior finishes are viewed to be in good condition. User
feedback relayed during assessment was the interior finishes color and
material selection is viewed as in-line with current trends and not found to
be “dated or showing its age.”
It was noted during the assessment walk that the closure detail at the
operable partition system where the wall operable wall meets and seals to
the fixed partition wall had caused deflection in the fixed wall and in-wall
reinforcement was required.
Where an existing storage room was reconfigured into an office space, the
previous stored items and equipment was relocated to existing storage
spaces and noted as being adequate. Additionally, a storage shelving
system was added to the large storage room, to increase storage space
utilization.

ARCHITECTURAL OBSERVATIONS – Interior continued
It was observed that all storage rooms were equipped with proper fire
sprinkler at ceiling.
The kitchen space was observed to be in good condition. There were no
visible signs at cabinets or countertops of heavy wear and tear. Finishes
were in good condition, and space was well lit overall from troffer ceiling
light fixtures.
Solid surface interior window sills were all viewed to be in good condition.
There were no signs of degradation or staining from water infiltration.
Common area luxury vinyl flooring was observed to be in good condition.
Once condition exists outside of the fitness room at the room’s entry
where the LVT flooring has a gap in planks that is visible. This gap may be
due to a control joint at the concrete subfloor below the LVT as a column
exists within an adjacent wall.

25. Skylights along corridors
26. Draft condition at secondary vestibule entrance
27. Visible hairline cracking at interior painted
gypsum board wall at bottom of window.
ARCHITECTURAL OBSERVATIONS – Interior continued
Skylight systems were observed to be in good condition. There was no
previous known or reported issues with skylights leaking.
At the northwest entry, staff have applied draft dampers at the interior exit
doors. Doors should be reviewed for adequately installed sweeps to
remove the need for temporary draft damping devices as these doors
operate as an emergency egress and need to be clear of obstructions that
may inhibit exiting by both able-bodied users and those with accessibility
needs.
At West Exercise room 122, a visible crack was present at the interior
painted gypsum board wall below the window sill. This window opening
location does not align with the control joint at the exterior of the building.
This may be due to building settling, or it could be a result of the window’s
solid surface sill being used as a seat. This condition should be monitored
for additional cracking at location in question.

from each space.
It was observed that hi/lo water fountains were present, meeting
accessibility requirements. Water fountain location is adjacent to both
men’s and women’s locker rooms.
The childcare restroom was observed to be in good condition, appropriate
grab bars are present at accessible toilet along with pipe coverings at sink.
It was noted by the daycare staff that the space had no known or
reoccurring issues during time assessment.
Men’s and Women’s locker rooms provided appropriate accessible
wheelchair transfer at locker space along with accessible lockers within the
code required reach range.

ARCHITECTURAL OBSERVATIONS – Interior continued
Men’s and Women’s locker were found to provide appropriate accessible
transfer showers with folding ADA shower bench and associate grab bars
and shower controls within the code required reach range.
The men’s and women’s accessible toilet stalls meet current accessibility
guidelines, providing necessary grab bars, maneuvering clearances, and
toilet seat height requirements at the toilet fixture, along with toilet
accessories within accessible reach range requirements.
It was observed and reported during the assessment walk that at a location
within the Men’s locker room, the ceiling tile was stained due to tripping
water from condensation via a duct above the ceiling tiles. This noted issue
was reported as occurring on at least two occasions. It is recommended
that issue to reviewed by an HVAC contractor to identify the exact cause as
the water staining is occurring in close proximity to an adjacent light
fixture.

Memorandum
Date: May 22, 2024
To: City of McHenry - Parks and Recreation Department
From: Hitchcock Design Group (HDG)
RE: Online Survey Summary
Overview
The online engagement platform consisted of a webpage to provide information on the planning
process and a survey to allow participants the opportunity to give input on programs, parks, and
facilities. The survey consisted of 30 multiple choice and open-ended questions including a final
comment box for any additional feedback.
Participation and Traffic
Launched on December 21, 2023, the online survey solicited input from participants about parks,
programs, and facilities. This survey was closed on February 29, 2024, and collected a total of 753
responses. In addition to links on the project website, the survey was advertised in the local
newspaper, through emails to the Parks and Recreation Department’s email list, and via flyers at the
recreation center. The chamber of commerce and school district 15 and 156 also promoted the survey
to members of their email blasts.
Format
The survey questions were divided into four categories: Parks and Open Space, Facilities and Indoor
Space, Programs and Events, and Park District Priorities. Participants were also asked demographic
questions about their household. All questions were optional and provided participants the
opportunity to skip the question. The following results do not reflect the views of all respondents but
are a summary of the multiple-choice and ranking questions and an overview of the most prevalent
comments. Where multiple comments about a common theme were received, the number of
individual replies is noted in parenthesis after the theme.

specified parks (5) including the McHenry Dam, Green Street Cruise Night, Irish
Prairie HOA Park, and the Rec Center. Another group noted their unfamiliarity
with the parks due to not frequenting the parks, being new residents, or being
uncertain of the names of the parks they visited (5). Other participants made
suggestions for increased dog-friendliness in McHenry, addressing cleanliness
concerns at beaches, expanding seating options, and expressing a desire for
continued upgrades to park facilities.

was too low and programs were being canceled (3), while others stated that
enrollment was too high and people could not participate in the programs they
wished to (2). Difficulty working around program times was also frequently

mentioned, with improved bike and walking trails being the most common
(7). An indoor walking track was also highly requested (6), with two others
specifically requesting indoor pickleball. Other requested amenities included

better gym equipment (2), bathrooms, free kayaking, a sauna, an improved
sound system, a haunted house, and more inclusive parks and play areas. Fox
Ridge Park and Creekside Park were specifically noted as needing improvements
while one respondents requested Holiday Hills to be annexed.

programs, youth programs, and the need for more kid focused activities. Other
responses included better communication with residents (2), development of a
park map, better organization of Green Street Cruise Night, more focus on the
