Upon his inquiry City Administrator Peterson informed Mayor Cuda that the letter to T.P. Mathews from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency had been included in Friday's agenda packet. Mayor Cuda suggested the letter be distributed to the residents of McHenry Shores. July 27, 1994 Page 7 At this time Alderman Baird requested use of the Municipal Classroom for a McHenry Shores resident's meeting on Thursday, July 28, 1994 at 7:30 P.M. The Council agreed to his request. Also to be included in Friday's packet will be a copy of a resolution delivered by Township Supervisor Albie Adams asking the Council to support the Township form of government. This item will be discused at the regular City Council meeting on Wednesday, August 3, 1994. COMMITTEE REPORTS Chairman of the Public Works Committee, Alderman Bolger, asked the Aldermen to review the copy of the Public Works Committee meeting minutes of July 14, 1994 regarding the McHenry Shores Water Company. Chairman of the Finance Committee, Alderman Locke, scheduled a Finance Committee meeting for Wednesday, August 3, 1994 at 6:30 P.M. to discuss possible water and sewer increases, as well as to explore alternative means for determining sewer fees. Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee, Alderman Bates, reported that the Parks and Recreation Committee had met to review the Fall brochure, and that with a few minor adjustments, the brochure was approved to proceed to the printers. He scheduled the next Parks and �., Recreation Committee Meeting for August 24, 1994 at 7:00 P.M. STAFF REPORTS Director of Public Works Batt informed the Council that staff had received the report from Baxter & Woodman on the Martin Woods II detention pond. A few details need to be addressed before final approval. Director Batt also noted that Dick Orton's retirement party had to be cancelled due to his son's death. Visitation is scheduled for Saturday, July 30, 1994 between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. at Mark Justen Funeral Home.

The Parks and Recreation Fall schedule will begin in September. City Administrator Peterson also took this time to address the permit request by Performance Unlimited to have a beer vendor at their August 7, 1994 Car Show. Performance Unlimited has already been granted their `..- Petersen Park permit. A second issue that needs to be reviewed, however is the newly acquired information regarding a "Calendar Girl Contest" held in conjunction with the car show. Discussion followed with input from the beer vendor Mike and Heidi Siudak. Alderman Bates noted that allowing a beer permit for this type of event would certainly set a dangerous precedent. Motion by Bates, seconded by Locke, to deny to the petitioner's request to serve beer at the Petersen Park Performance Car Show on August 7, 1994. Voting Aye: Bolger, Locke, Bates, Lawson, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. Staff was directed to redesign the park permit application so that any and all events planned had to be delineated, and to check for open liquor at Petersen Park on August 7, 1994. As it was deemed too late to cancel the "Calendar Girl Contest" scheduled for this year due to prior advertising, etc. it was strongly recommended that the car show coordinator be informed that a "Calendar Girl Contest" would not be permitted next year. City Clerk Althoff reminded the Aldermen of pictures to be taken next Wednesday, August 3, 1994 at 7:00 P.M. She also requested any Aldermen planning to attend the Illinois Municipal Association's Convention in Chicago to inform her at their earliest opportunity for registration purposes. July 27, 1994 Page 8 NEW BUSINESS Alderman Bolger noted the three requests for stop signs at the intersections of Lillian and South, Meadow and Willow, Shore and Eastern. It was determined that the police should look at these requests and make a recommendation. Alderman Locke directed the Public Works Department to look into repairing the parkway at Crystal Lake Road and Kensington, and to pave a section of Edgewater Drive. Alderman Locke also requested that the benches be placed in Whispering Oaks Park as soon as possible. Alderman Bates referred the issue of two vacant homes to Building and Zoning. One is located at 1609 Meadow, and the other on Prairie Avenue. Bates asked for and received clarification of the ordinance violation process. Alderman Baird scheduled a Building and Zoning Committee meeting for Monday, August 22, 1994 at 7:00 P.M. to discuss the Building and Zoning violation process, monotony codes, and the sign ordinance. Alderman Lawson also noted a vacant house exists on Willow. He was informed that Building and Zoning was aware of the home, and was addressing the matter. Alderman Baird stated that there was to be a McHenry Shores residents meeting, Thursday, July 28, 1994 at 7:30 P.M. in the classroom of the Municipal Center. He also requested a status report on the Riverfront Park Boat Launch. Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel reported that the berms had been seeded, and the park was scheduled for opening in mid August. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency had finished their inspection on the wetlands. Security will have to be addressed, as this park must be opened all year as per the Department of Conservation grant specifications. Alderman Baird then asked for Council approval to present a resolution and individual plaques to Debbie Heisler, Debbie Glick, and Carol Chrisman, coordinators of the Fort McHenry project, commending them for their great efforts and success. Council concurred. A presentation of plaques and the resolution will be coordinated through the Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel, and done in conjunction with the formal dedication of Fort McHenry on September 11, 1994. Mayor Cuda also asked Director of Building and Zoning Lobaito to address the parkways along W. Route 120, as they are in very poor shape. In response to Mayor Cuda's question regarding whether cars and large recreation vehicles could be parked along W. Route 120 and advertised for sale, Director Lobaito informed him it is a permitted use in that zoning area.
