John J. Brittain, Chairman of the Board of Elgin Federal
Financial Center, submitted a letter to the City Council regarding a
letter of credit dated April 26, 1984 and extended to October 1, 1986
concerning McHenry Lakes Estates Unit I Phase III. He requested that the
Letter of Credit and the completion date for sidewalks and street lights
in Phase III be extended to September 1, 1987. There were eight lots in
Phase III which were vacant and unimproved. Brittain felt that because
of the layout of the development, the lack of sidewalks on six lots in
the narrow strip would not present any particular problem in as much as
there were no other homes in that area which would necessitate sidewalks
for foot traffic.
Motion by Teta, seconded by Nolan, to extend the Letter of Letters of
Credit for McHenry Lakes Estates Unit I Phase III from October 1, 1986 to Credit
September 1, 1987 for the six lots in Phase III but on the condition that
sidewalks be installed immediately on Lots 143 and 154. McHenry

Mr. Paulson reported that the Illinois Department of Energy and
Natural Resources was soliciting proposals for a second round of
recycling grants to be awarded by October 21, 1986 for expansion of
recycling in five areas: 1) Curb side collection 2) Residential drop
off/buy back 3) Yard waste composting 4) High grade paper 5) Market
development. The McHenry County Defenders intend to apply for a grant to
fund a full-time staff position to initiate or expand recycling programs
in four of the five eligible categories. This includes establishing a
new drop off/buy back program in the City of McHenry, initiating a high
grade paper recycling program in governmental buildings in Woodstock and
McHenry and investigating markets for composted yard and landscape waste
such as leaves.
Wednesday, September 17, 1986 page 2
To assist the McHenry County Defenders in securing a recycling
grant, they requested that the City Council renew its commitment of
January 29, 1986 to cooperate with the Defenders in establishing such
programs in the City. Specifically, the Defenders request the assistance
of the City with implementation of the proposed recycling projects by:
1) Allocation of a small percentage of time for staff persons in the City
Clerk's Office and Public Works Department to implement a high grade
paper collection program in City Offices 2) Promotion of the new
recycling programs through quarterly municipal newsletters, in water
sewer billings and by other methods 3) Provide a site for a self-service
drop off center and rental for a walk-in drop off bin 4) Provide a small
percentage of staff time to check the drop off center on a daily basis
and correct or report any problems that may develop.
