Voting Nay: None. Absent: Patterson. Motion carried. At this point in the meeting, the recessed Committee Meeting of the Whole held prior to this Council Meeting on the preliminary city hall plans was brought up for continued discussion. Two building plans were presented by Legat. After a straw poll of the seven Aldermen and the Mayor, it was decided by a vote of seven to one to proceed with Plan A. Mayor Busse called for a recess at 9:00 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 9:15 P.M. with everyone in attendance except Alderman Patterson. Alderman McC:latchey left the meeting at 9:10 P.M. At the completion of discussion on city hall plans, Carstens reported that he and the architects would be back before the Council in the next three weeks to present final floor plans, architectural elevation blueprints, complete site plans and renderings. During the Mayor's Statements and Reports Mayor Busse asked that a delegate and an alternate be appointed from the Environmental Advisory Committee to attend County Waste Advisory Meetings. Alderman Teta said that he would make sure that this was brought up at the Environmental Advisory Committee Meeting on February 27, 1990. "Operation Green Light" was discussed but since there seems to be no money available for the program it appeared futile to proceed with any further discussions. The Mayor was authorized to send a letter telling IDOT that we do have a project and see if they would come up with any money to fund that project. Alderman Lieder reported that a Finance Committee Meeting had been held on February 19, 1990 to discuss the 1990-91 Fiscal Year budget. Employee representatives also appeared at these meetings to present their requests for wages and benefits for next year. Alderman Donahue, Chairman of the Public Property Committee, reported that her committee had met to discuss Baxter & Woodman's proposals for improvement of the Court Street Parking Lot, the Riverside Drive Parking Lot and Bull Valley Road east of Green Street. Motion by Teta, seconded by Donahue, to proceed with Alternate B as presented for improvement of the Riverside"Parking Lot. Voting Aye: Bolger, Donahue, Lieder, Teta, Smith, Voting Nay: Serritella. Absent: McClatchey, Patterson. Motion carried. Improvement of the Court Street Parking Lot was deferred until next year. It was brought to the attention of the Council that there is a piece of property which abuts directly south of the McHenry Corporate Center and has a width of 75 feet running due west of South Route 31 for 1,518 feet. When the property was annexed to the City in 1982, it was given a RS-1 zoning classification. All of the surrounding properties in that location are now zoned I-1 Industrial. Owners of the Corporate Center were asking that the parcel be rezoned I-1 so that residential setback and screening requirements would not be required. Since this 75 foot strip is over a natural gas pipe line there could never be any residential construction on that parcel. Wednesday, February 21, 1990 Page 5 Motion by Serritella, seconded by Lieder, to authorize the City Attorney to drafta petition to present to the Zoning Board of Appeals changing the RS-1 zoning to I-1 zoning on the property in question in the McHenry Corporate Center with legal costs to be paid by McHenry Corporate Center Developers, Voting Aye: Bolger, Donahue, Lieder, Teta, Smith, Serritella. Voting Nay: None. Absent: McCl atchey, Patterson. Motion carried. Smith Engineering submitted several letters to City Council members over the past several months requesting that they be considered for City projects. Following lengthly discussion it was determined that in the future, Smith, along with other engineering firms, would be considered for upcoming projects. Motion by Lieder, seconded by Teta, to go into executive session at 10:50 P.M. to discuss personnel. Voting Aye: Bolger, Donahue, Lieder, Teta, Smith, Serritella. Voting Nay: None. Absent: McClatchey, Patterson. Motion carried. Alderman Teta left the meeting at 10:55 P.M. Motion by Lieder, seconded by Donahue, to go back into open session at 11:00 P.M. Voting Aye: Bolger, Donahue, Lieder, Smith, Serritella. Voting Nay: None. Absent: McClatchey, Patterson, Teta. Motion carried. Motion by Smith, seconded by Serritella, to amend the Personnel Policy Manual, Section 10.6, as follows: "Resignations are irrevocable.
