sanitary system.

zoned properties are allowed a maximum of 6 feet for a free standing sign. The sign is currently
10' 11" and is constructed of two pillars with an advertising board spanning between the two
pillars. The applicant would like to reuse the two pillars and add square footage to the
advertising board between the pillars. The increase in size is to accommodate tenant space
available in their building. Staff has the ability to approve signage face changes however, the
applicant is requesting an increase in the square footage of the sign therefore by Ordinance the
sign must be brought into compliance for height, size and setback. The sign currently meets all
requirements except for height. Mr. Tonyan is concerned about visibility hence the request for
a variance. Staff believes Mr. Tonyan's concern is valid. There is no negative impact from the
variance requested.
Motion by Wimmer, second by Peterson, granting a Sign Variance for Wm. Tonyan and
Sons, Inc., located at 1400 South Route 31, to allow the use of the existing structural pillars,

Director of Public Works Schmitt informed Council that Staff is requesting the
consideration of awarding a five (5) year contract, with an option to extend an additional five

collection services.
Director Schmitt stated that Waste Management of Illinois, Inc. has been under contract
with the City of McHenry to provide exclusive residential waste hauling services since August 1,
M12. The current contract expires July 31, 2017. At the November 21, 2016 meeting, Council
directed Staff to issue a Request for Proposals for residential refuse, yard waste and recycling at
the current types and levels of service. Prairieland Disposal Inc. was the lowest bidder, which
includes additional program features together with the base bid option requirements. Staff has
conducted reference checks on Prairieland. The respondents identified Prairieland as
responsive and accommodating. Prairieland was said to provide excellent service and provided
an easy transition of services to residents. No negative comments were identified during the
reference check process. If approved, Prairieland would immediately begin the process of
preparation for the transition of services to begin August 1, 2017, upon expiration of the Waste
Management contract.
Alderman Condon stated she is pleased to see so much support in the community to
remain with Waste Management. She stated that she has always been impressed by the

Staff on the work they performed when Council requested they request bids because of

matter of numbers.
Responding to an inquiry from Council, Director Schmitt stated that both Waste
Management and Prairieland have assured Staff that both companies would do everything
possible to make for a smooth transition.
Alderman Schaefer stated that he has never had an issue with the services of Waste
Management. If Waste Management had returned to the City with the same services offered
previously at a reasonable cost the contract likely would have been renewed.
Responding to an inquiry from Council, Director Schmitt outlined the services being
offered by Prairieland, which were not previously provided by Waste Management.
Responding to an inquiry by Alderman Curry, Director Schmitt stated the trucks
currently utilized in the City are side loaders, which will travel one-way down the street.

Council's decision to request RFPs. City Administrator Morefield stated that the cost was the
main motivating factor.
Responding to an inquiry regarding the issue with the proposal submitted by Lake
Disposal Services, City Attorney McArdle explained that a bid bond and/or a Letter of Credit
was required. The bidder instead provided a letter from their bank, which was not in
compliance.

MOTION TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY NEEDS
ASSESSMENT FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO aQUITY RESEARCH AND
INSIGHTS, FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $45,000
Assistant City Administrator Hobson informed Council that the last comprehensive
evaluation of the City's parks system began in 2005, when the City contracted with
Management Learning Laboratories to perform a Community Needs Assessment. With that
information, the City issued RFP's to seek firms to complete the Master Plan analysis. In April
2007, the City was presented with a final version of a Five -Year Parks & Open Space Master Plan
(Master Plan); which served as the backbone of facility improvements from 2007 through 2012.
The Master Plan has been a valuable tool for the Parks and Recreation Department, however, it
is currently 10 years past its initial adoption and five since the scope expired. This has not
Regular Meeting
Page 10
February 20, 2017
hampered the Department's planning abilities and it remains a key component as a guide to
moving the Department forward. The document is also vital in the grant submission process
and potential grant scoring, which leads to the award of grant money. With many plans on the
horizon, Staff feels it is important to re -address the Community Needs Assessment. Assistant
City Administrator Hobson complimented Matt LaPorte for taking the reins regarding the
project.
On December 5, 2016, Council approved a request to advertise for proposals for an
updated Community Needs Assessment. Information was disseminated to a number of firms
with four ultimately choosing to submit a proposal by the January 31, 2017 deadline. The
proposals were reviewed and vetted, ultimately aQuity Research and Insights was determined
by Staff to be the best suited to perform the work for the City of McHenry.
The Parks and Recreation Committee and Staff agree that the Master Plan does not
need to be completely redone and a Community Needs Assessment would provide a roadmap
for an update to the Master Plan. If approved, the Community Needs Assessment would be
funded through the Park Developer Donations Fund. The process is estimated to take
approximately four to five months to complete.
Assistant City Administrator Hobson requested Council accept the proposal from aQuity
Research and Insights for the development of a Community Needs Assessment for the Parks
and Recreation Department, in an amount not to exceed $45,600.
Alderman Glab opined that the cost is excessive and he does not understand why the
assessment cannot be done in-house. Alderman Curry concurred with Alderman Glab regarding
the cost, stating the he believes the City has talented people that are capable of undertaking
the project. Alderman Santi concurred with Alderman Glab and Alderman Curry regarding the
cost and further stated while we have talented people that work for the City, on occasion an
outside perspective is necessary.
Alderman Condon express concern that Parks and Recreation Department Staff would
be unable to effectively do their job if they are required to additionally manage a project of this
magnitude.
Responding to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Assistant City Administrator Hobson assured
Council the statistics obtained would be provided to Council. Alderman Glab stated he is still
unable to support the project without having input from residents.
Alderman Schaefer stated that he would have liked to have seen more responses from
bidders. Assistant City Administrator Hobson informed Council that 10 companies were invited
to complete the RFP.
