Mtgs. the proposed enlargement of the City of McHenry Special Service Area No. 1 Spec. Pub on Monday, July 16, 1984 at 8:04 P.M. in city hall. At roll call the follow- Hearing & ing Aldermen were present: Bolger, Busse, McClatchey, Nolan, Smith, Snell, Special Serritella. Absent: Datz. City staff in attendance were Supt. Halvensleben, p Attorney Narusis, Clerk Gilpin, Chief Pasenelli, Park Director Merkel. Members Service Area of the audience were Attorney Jeff Ladd, representing Northern Illinois Medical Center; John Bobbe of Pioneer Center; Michael Wieser; Richard Svihlik, Assis- tant Director of McHenry City ESDA; Greg Ignarski of Clark Outdoor Spraying. The purpose of the Public Hearing was to consider enlargement of the boundaries of the City of McHenry Special Service Area No. 1 which was established by Ordinance No. 0-82-288. A certificate of publication was on file in the City Clerk's Office verifying that the public notice had been published in the McHenry Plaindealer on June 29, 1984. Written and oral comments were to be presented at this hearing. Mayor Stanek asked the City Clerk if any written comments had been filed in her office. She replied that no written comments had been received in her office. Mayor Stanek asked if anyone in the audience wished to present oral or written state- ments on the matter. The only one to respond was Attorney Jeff Ladd, representing Northern Illinois Medical Center. He explained that in the process of building the new professional medical arts building,it became necessary to trade off an equal amount of land from NIMED to the Northern Illinois Medical Center so as to create a large enough parking area. Both NIMED and NIMEC will still end up with the same exact amount of land in- volved in the special service area. Under State Statutes Chapter 120, Section 1301,it is required that a Public Hearing be held for enlargement of the special service area district. The only property involved is owned and surrounded by hospital property. Ladd said since there is some ambiquity in the State Statutes because it did not anticipate this sort of particular problem (it does anticipate enlargement or disconnection, but not a trade) NIMED will be providing the City with a hold harmless agreement so there is no question about the City's position on this matter. NIMED will also put in a severability clause so that if for any reason that property is not held tax exempt,the ordinance pertaining to the transfer would be nulle and void. Attorney Narusis reported that he had reviewed the proposed ordi- nance amending the boundaries of the special service area as presented by NIMED and everything was in order. Motion by McClatchey, seconded by Nolan, to passan ordinance amending the boundaries of the City of McHenry Special Service Area No. as presented and also authorize NIMED to provide the City with a hold harmless agreement.
