TRANSMITTAL AND DISCUSSION OF DOWNTOWN TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT STATUS. City Administrator Morefield presented the City Council with an update on the status of the City of McHenry Tax Increment Financing District that was established by the Council in 2002. As background, Mr. Morefield identified the TIF projects to date. The first development to receive TIF assistance was Riverwalk Place Townhomes approved in 2003. This construction transformed a vacant parking lot into a quality development and also made it possible for the city to fund boat piers and public utility improvements at the site. In 2007/08 the site of the former medical arts property on Green Street was purchased, prepared, and marketed by the city to include a TIF incentive. In 2007, a redevelopment agreement was approved by the Council with the owners of the mixed -use Riverwalk Place development. In addition, a commercial enterprise that came to fruition through the assistance of the TIF District is Verlo Mattress Company for redevelopment of the former Eby Brown building. In total, the projects identified represent $17,745,906 in private investment within the TIF District. Total public investment to date including hard -costs associated with site acquisition, preparation, and TIF incentives is $3,002,131. Of these projects, the TIF incentive outstanding balance is $431,724.08. Mr. Morefield noted the TIF District peaked in 2007/08, the amount available for projects has since dwindled, and the city is not in a position to underwrite a large project at this time. Consequently, when the Riverwalk Foundation recently requested assistance from the city to match the cost for extending the Riverwalk the request could not be accommodated. Mayor Low opened the floor for questions and/or comments from the City Council. Alderman Glab asked for the difference between the base EAV and the tax dollars generated from the base. Mr. Morefield said he will provide the City Council with a report of the tax dollars generated through the TIF District as compared to citywide. Alderman Glab commented the area has improved since the establishment of the TIF District and asked when the TIF will expire. Mr. Morefield responded the TIF ends in 2025 however development of the Miller Point site and an improved economy could generate taxes - if we have no additional major developments until 2023 the city would breakeven. Alderman Glab inquired about the TIF District's EAV for the past three years. Deputy City Administrator Hobson answered the EAV has stabilized however in 2008, EAV was over $21M and is now at $16M. Mr. Morefield added that in 2012 the EAV dropped to $16M with an increment of $500K and in 2013, as a result of an overall reassessment of properties within the TIF, the anticipated increment is estimated to be reduced to $360K; however the tax increment is still positive for the city. Alderman Glab thanked staff for the detailed report. Alderman Sand stated the analysis presented shows potential for future increases in the TIF Fund. The City Council was in agreement about the benefits of promoting commercial retail, office, and restaurants in the city's downtown area. Mr. Hobson reported he and Deputy City Administrator Martin's annual attendance at the ICSC Conference is a valuable tool for marketing and attracting new businesses and redevelopment in McHenry. Mr. Morefield added positive support from the City Council goes a long way to generate interest in our city. McHenry City Council May 5, 2014 Page 5 of 10 APPROVAL OF A TEMPORARY USE PERMIT FOR CHAIN O'LAKES BREWING COMPANY TO ALLOW OUTDOOR SALE OF BEER AND FOOD AND OUTDOOR SEATING AND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. Mr. Morefield announced Mr. Curt Ames, owner of Chain O'Lakes Brewing Company was in the audience. Mr. Ames is requesting a temporary use permit as presented for the period from May 6, 2014 through October 31, 2014. Mr. Ames intends to seek an amendment to his existing conditional use permit through at the end of the summer/fall season. Motion by J. Schaefer, second by V. Santi to approve a temporary use permit for Chain O' Lakes Brewing Company as presented. Mayor Low opened the floor for questions or comments from the City Council. Alderman Schaefer reported Mr. Ames and Chain O'Lakes Brewing Company is a great neighbor and he has received only favorable comments about the business. Mr. Ames has improved the building and runs the business responsibly. Alderman Blake concurred. Alderman Peterson said the business has added to the character of downtown McHenry. Alderman Condon concurred and expressed a concern about live entertainment disturbing the residential area near the business. Mr. Ames noted he intends to host four festivals: a revival festival commemorating the original brewery including an original brew; Fiesta Days; first anniversary party in August; and, Oktoberfest. The live entertainment proposed is actually just a setup of soft -speakers outside on the patio and assured the Council there will be no conflict with city band concerts in Veterans Memorial Park. Alderman Santi asked Mr. Ames if he plans to increase his hours of operation if the temporary use is granted. Mr. Ames answered yes; he will open for business on Mondays and remain open on Fridays to 9:00 PM. Aldermen Santi and Glab inquired about the style of fencing proposed. Mr. Ames said he has obtained two proposals however he has not made a decision. The fence will either match the wood ADA ramp or a wrought iron style similar to what is installed along the Riverwalk. Alderman Santi reported he and Mr. Ames had a previous conversation about customers walking in and out of the door at the corner. Mr. Martin responded that Mr. Ames does a good job of keeping people off the sidewalk and the fence will be an additional deterrence. Mayor Low asked to call the roll: Ayes: Schaefer, Santi, Condon, Peterson, Wimmer, Blake, Glab Nays: None Abstentions: None Absentees: None Motion carried. APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE INSTALLATION OF A 1OKw SOLAR ARRAY SYSTEM AT 809 N. FRONT STREET Mr. Morefield reported Jim Scholtz, McHenry Public Library Executive Director could not be present at the meeting due to a conflict. A substantial amount of information was provided to the City Council including the Planning and Zoning application packet submitted by the McHenry Public Library and minutes from the meeting. Mr. Morefield explained the solar array system proposed by the library is similar to the system recently approved by the Council for the Shah Center however the proposed system is a rooftop installation yet serves the same function. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the project Motion by G. Condon, second by R. Wimmer to approve an ordinance authorizing the installation of a lOkW solar array system at 809 N. Front Street as presented. McHenry City Council May 5, 2014 Page 6 of 10 Mayor Low opened the floor for questions or comments from the City Council. Alderman Glab stated this is another good example of the use of solar energy and the Council should expect future requests for residential systems. Alderman Schaefer asked if staff requires the approval of a structural engineer to install this system on the roof. Mr. Morefield said approval by a structural engineer is part of the permitting process. Alderman Glab asked when Council approves temporary and conditional use permits, are applicants still required to follow city ordinance and Mr. Martin answered yes. Mayor Low asked to call the roll: Ayes: Condon, Wimmer, Blake, Schaefer, Glab, Santi, Peterson Nays: None Abstentions: None Absentees: None Motion carried. APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE GRANTING FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION FOR THE JUSTEN FUNERAL HOME SUBDIVISION CONDITIONED UPON A MEMORANDUM RECORDED WITH THE MCHENRY COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE TO 1) ESTABLISH A TIMEFRAME FOR CONVERSION FROM FULL ACCESS TO RIGHT-IN/RIGHT-OUT ONLY; 2) STATING COST OF CONVERSION SHALL BE BORNE EXCLUSIVELY BY THE DEVELOPER AND/OR FUTURE PROPERTY OWNER; AND 3) A NOTATION STATING SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE ADDED TO THE FINAL PLAT. Mr. Morefield announced the owner and developer of the property are in the audience. Details of the request are included in the agenda supplement. Staff recommends Council's motion include the recording of a memorandum detailing the conditions of approval. Motion by J. Schaefer, second by R. Wimmer to approve an Ordinance granting the Justen Funeral Home Subdivision Final Plat of Subdivision as presented conditioned upon recording a memorandum of conditions with the McHenry County Clerk as presented. Mayor Low opened the floor for questions or comments from the City Council. Alderman Schaefer asked if construction of the Knox Drive extension will be postponed for construction of the Veterans Assistance building proposed in the Justen property. Mr. Martin answered no; the VA project is more a function of the county's Miller Road/Route 31 improvement project. The Knox Drive extension will occur simultaneously with the improvements to the Miller Road/Route 31 project. Also, as a condition of the agreement between the city and county, Knox Drive must be constructed prior to IDOT installation of the hard -median to allow businesses an alternate means of access during construction. Alderman Schaefer asked if a timeframe has been established for the improvement project. Public Works Director Schmitt stated the county intends bid letting to begin in November however this depends on many factors. Alderman Schaefer inquired about the proposed access and Mr. Schmitt answered the county will regulate the right-in/right-out access; the city has jurisdiction for access onto Municipal Drive. Alderman Santi asked about the number of feet from the access point to Knox Drive on the Municipal Drive side and Mr. Martin answered 195 and approximately 145 feet to the west. The requested motion requires the conversion from full access to right-in/right-out to be completed within five -years after completion of the Knox Drive extension or a certificate of occupancy for additional buildings will be denied. Alderman Glab expressed concerns about the time frame for completion of the conversion and asked if a bond will be required to guarantee the terms of approval are met. Mr. Martin said the same was suggested by Attorney McArdle however at this point staff is unable to set an appropriate value for a bond because the date for construction to begin is unknown - as construction costs McHenry City Council May 5, 2014 Page 7 of 10 rise, the bond may not be adequate. Staff recommends pursing the developer and/or owner for an ordinance violation and denial of future occupancies will be used as leverage to get the work completed. Mayor Low asked to call the roll: Ayes: Schaefer, Wimmer, Blake, Glab, Santi, Condon Peterson Nays: None Abstentions: None Absentees: None Motion carried. AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR'S EXECUTION OF IDOT FORM BLR 055529 "MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING TO BE PERFORMED BY A CONSULTING ENGINEER" FOR SERVICES PERFORMED BY CONSULTING ENGINEER HR GREEN, INC.

Mr. Morefield announced Chad Pieper from HR Green, Inc. and Mr. Schmitt are present to answer Council's questions. He explained IDOT form BLR 05529 is basically a professional services agreement on a state form. Staff is also seeking approval to advertise for bids. Included in the approved FY 2014/15 budget is $400K for this project, which includes the list of streets included in the agenda supplement. Motion by V. Santi, seconded by R. Wimmer to approve the request as presented and authorize staff to advertise for bids for the 2014 Street Resurfacing Program. Mayor Low opened the floor for questions and comments from the City Council. Alderman Santi asked when staff intends to begin the project. Mr. Schmitt said he hopes to hold a bid opening on May 21St, and bring the award of bid to the City Council for consideration on June 2nd, and project start will occur shortly after approval. Mayor Low asked to call the roll: Ayes: Santi, Wimmer, Blake, Schaefer, Glab, Condon Peterson Nays: None Abstentions: None Absentees: None Motion carried. APPROVAL OF A PROPOSAL FROM STUDIO 222 ARCHITECTS FOR DESIGN PROJECT MANAGEMENT OF ROOF REPLACEMENT AND MISCELLANEOUS WORK AT THE SWWTP, 222 SOUTH MCHENRY AVENUE FOR THE LUMP SUM OF $21,750 PLUS REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES SUCH AS DELIVERIES, DUPLICATING AND COMPUTER PLOTTING; AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS. Mr. Morefield advised Ken Schaefer from Studio 222 and Mr. Schmitt are available to answer Council's questions. He ftuther stated the Council will recall Studio 222 was hired to manage the re -roof project for �- the Public Works building on Industrial Drive and the firm was vetted as a part of the RFQ process at that time. This project is included in the CIP and adopted in the FY 2014/15 budget for $116,150. McHenry City Council May 5, 2014 Page 8 of 10 Motion by V. Santi, seconded by R. Wimmer to approve the proposal from Studio 222 Architects as presented and to authorize staff to advertise for bids. Mayor Low opened the floor for questions and comments from the City Council. Alderman Schaefer noted the city's past partnership with Studio 222 went well. Answering Alderman Peterson'.s question, Mr. Schmitt said the plant was constructed in 1984. Alderman Peterson stated it's time for a new roof. Alderman Glab said the cost charged per hour is reasonable. Mayor Low asked to call the roll: Ayes: Santi, Wimmer, Blake, Schaefer, Glab, Condon Peterson Nays: None Abstentions: None Absentees: None Motion carried. APPROVAL OF A SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE UTILITY AND BILLING SOFTWARE FROM TYLER TECHNOLOGIES INC. FOR $176,074. Mr. Morefield reported the purchase of utility and billing software is included in the FY 2014/15 budget. As identified in the CIP, the current software system used by the city is more than 15 years old and it is increasingly difficult to find technical support. These difficulties among other problems are creating deficiencies in utility billing. Finance Department staff led by Director Lynch interviewed prospective firms and determined Tyler Technologies offered the best product. Mr. Morefield said earlier this evening a few Alderman inquired about a line item included in the Tyler proposal for travel reimbursement costs in the amount of $29,000. Mr. Morefield explained this is a worse -case scenario and this should be expressed as a not -to -exceed amount. Approval of the purchase could be conditioned upon Tyler's agreement of the condition and assured the City Council that staff will monitor all costs associated with the contract. Motion by J. Schaefer, seconded by V. Santi, to approve the purchase of a software license agreement and utility and billing software from Tyler Technologies, Inc. for $176,074 and to travel expenses for an amount not to exceed $29,000. Mayor Low opened the floor for questions and comments from the City Council. Aldermen Wimmer and Peterson said they were comfortable with staff monitoring expenses. Alderman Santi asked if the agreement provided for on -site training and Ms. Lynch replied; yes and also includes an onsite payroll and accounts payable run-through adding the city can contact Tyler whenever the need arises. Alderman Santi asked if an additional year could be added to the agreement. Mr. Morefield said the term of the proposed agreement is 5-years and added the city would have an option to enter into annual maintenance agreements with Tyler once the term of the agreement expires. Mayor Low asked to call the roll: Ayes: Santi, Wimmer, Blake, Schaefer, Glab, Condon Peterson Nays: None Abstentions: None Absentees: None Motion carried.
