JANUARY 26, 1994
A Special Meeting of the McHenry City Council was called to order by

Room of the Municipal Center. At roll call the following Aldermen were
present: Bolger, Locke, Bates, Baird. Absent: Lawson. City Staff in
attendance: City Clerk Gilpin, City Administrator Peterson, and Attorney
Andrew Freund from the law firm of Zukowski, Rogers, Flood, & McArdle.
Also in attendance were Robert Swain, President of Chroma Corporation and
Karen Kinsella of Chroma Corporation.
Mayor Cuda announced that the purpose of tonight's meeting was to
authorize the issuance of $2,265,000 in Industrial Project Revenue
Refunding Bonds, and to authorize the issuance of $1,200,000 Economic
Development Industrial Project Revenue Bonds for Chroma Corporation,
located at 3900 Dayton Street, McHenry. The bond proceeds would be used
by Chroma Corporation to acquire new equipment and construct an addition
to its original building.
It was emphasized to the Aldermen that the bonds approved tonight
would in no way obligate any of the City's taxing authority. The City of
McHenry absolutely has no obligation to pay any of the bonds that are
being issued tonight. It was also pointed out that any legal fees the
City has incurred through the issuance of these IRB's is being paid by
Chroma Corporation.
Attorney Freund also mentioned there was a typographical error on
page 4, paragraph 3 of the resolution. Paragraph 3 states the bond
purchase agreement to be dated as of December 8, 1993. This should be
amended to read "January 26, 1994".
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Baird, to pass the resolution as
amended, "providing for the financing by the City of McHenry of an
Industrial Project consisting of the acquisition and construction of a
building, and the acquisition of equipment and related property, and the
refunding of prior bonds for Chroma Corporation (the borrower);
