MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1987 7:30 P.M.
The Special Meeting of the McHenry City Council was called to
order by Mayor Busse on Monday, September 21, 1987 at 7:30 P.M. at City
Hall. At roll call the following Aldermen were present: Bolger, Lieder,
McClatchey, Smith, Serritella, Teta. Nolan and Patterson arrived at 7:56
P.M. City staff in attendance were Attorney Narusis, Clerk Gilpin,
Chief Joyce. Absent: Supt. Batt and Park Director Merkel.
Discussion was held on starting times of City Council Meetings.
Several years previously it has been the policy to start the meetings at
7:30 P.M. from November 1 to May 1 and to start at 8:00 P.M. from May 1
to November 1. Several Aldermen felt it would be better to start the
meetings at 8:00 P.M. year round which would allow for committee meetings
to be held prior to the Council Meetings.

time for regular City Council Meetings at 8:00 P.M. year round.
