MARCH 21, 1994
A Special Meeting of the McHenry City Council was called to order by
Mayor Cuda on Monday, March 21, 1994 at 7:30 P.M. in the Council Room of
the Municipal Center. At roll call the following Aldermen were present:

Mayor Cuda announced that the purpose of tonight's Special Meeting
was to conduct a Public Hearing for the purpose of seeking amendments to
the McHenry Corporate Center annexation agreement. The first amendment
to the annexation agreement incorporates changes which affect Parcels
"A", "B", and "C" shown on the concept plan. The changes are necessary
to proceed with construction activity for the Brake Parts building
expansion, the Follett building and the Follett expansion parcel. The
amendment would affect only the properties designated as Parcels "A",
"B", and "C". Approval of the amendments by the Council would allow a
building permit to be issued for the Brake Parts expansion and for the
�- Follett building permit which was previously issued pending approval of
preliminary and final platting for Unit 3 on the Concept Plan.
In attendance at the meeting were Kit Carstens, Scott Dixon, John
Smith and the attorney for Prime Commercial, Daniel Curran.
Mayor Cuda asked if anyone in the audience wished to make public
comments concerning this amendment proposal. There was no response from
the audience.

the Annexation Agreement. The following changes were suggested:
