(1) Computer hardware and software purchase for the Recreations
Department: City Administrator Peterson stated that the Recreations
Department has requested the purchase of computer hardware and
software for an estimated cost of $30,000435,000. Discussion

Director Merkel reported that his staff had reviewed several programs
and recommended RecTrac (sp?) from Vermont. Council agreed to
budget $35,000 for the purchase of hardware and software. Further
discussion ensued regarding the hiring of a part-time person for summer
help. Council agreed to budget for a part-time person for the 1995
Summer season.
(2) Park Donation Funds: Council discussed potential plans regarding a —'
recreational facility. Determination was made to accumulate funds for
recreational center construction. Expenditures will be limited to projects
which the City is already committed, including ADA improvements,
Brookside Park, and the North Jaycee Park. The Parks and Recreation
Department will seek assistance for additional projects (i.e. Freund
Field's hockey rink) from area service clubs.
(3) Street Division Funds: It was Council's determination to budget $50,000
for the replacement of a dump truck; $56,000 for the replacement of
two loaders with larger equipment; $10,000 for the replacement of a
street patching machine; and $200,000 for the removal and relocation

retreat regarding these iss��e .
April 26, 1995 Page 9
City Administrator Peterson was directed to seek further information
regarding cost figures for the removal and relocation of gas and diesel tanks, as
well as for a modern plant facility, and present this information at the May 10th
Council retreat.
(4) Base Map: It was Council's determination to eliminate the $6,500
budgeted to Public Works Administration and the $6,500 budgeted to
the Building and Zoning Department for the development of a base map.
(5) Potential Property Purchase and Building Demolition: Determination was
made to budget only $25,000 as opposed to $200,000 for the
demolition of the structure located on the northeast corner of Route 120
and Green Street.
(6) Vehicle/City Administrator: Determination was made to budget $15,000
for the purchase, as opposed to the leasing, of a vehicle for the City
Administrator because of the sales tax savings.
(7) Water Treatment Plant No. 4: Determination was made to budget
$100,000 for the drilling of an additional well to service Water
Treatment Plant No. 4.
(8) West McHenry Bypass: It was Council's consensus to budget $50,000
this fiscal year, and $50,000 next fiscal year (1996-97) for the start of
the West McHenry Bypass. The purchase of property along Boone
Creek to preserve a 400-foot open space corridor was deferred to
another year.
(9) Sanitary Sewer System Improvements: After a lengthy discussion,
determination was made to budget $290,000 for the improvements to
the sanitary sewer system, including the Donovan and Willow Street
liftstations. A forced main along the west side of the railroad tracks
may also be required. A suggestion was made to address this project in
conjunction with the bike path construction along the railroad tracks.
The $290,000 budgeted will be taken from the Capital Development
Fund as opposed to the Sewer Fund.
(10) Traffic Study: This item was deferred until after and/or during the
discussions on personnel.
