The Junior College board had set that meeting--to consider the presentations of three McHenry county municipalities, Crystal Lake, McHenry and Woodstock, to fully acquaint the board with the various factors which these cities feel should result in the location of the Junior college within their respective corporate limits. John Buckner, superintendent of Crystal Lake Community high school, District 155, represented the city of Crystal Lake and based his city's position primarily on the educational needs of the northeastern segment of the coijnty. The high school district and the grade school districts in the immediate area have the greatest number of students within the county and the immediate needs for a county college are great. Of the present enrollment of approximately 1,200 in the temporary Junior college facilities at the I.I.T. building, 575 were from the Crystal Lake, Cary, Algonquin and Fox River Grove area, 22 f from ij»e McHenry district and 193 from Woodstock, with the balance being spread over the rest of the county. Mr. Buckner further started that the Crystal Lake district sent the highest percentage in the county of its high school graduates into four-year and two-year college courses. In his opinion, this made it evident that the Junior college should be located in the area of greatest need for its services. - ; There was no discussion of the Crystal Lake siter which precluded any informationvbeing offered as to automobile accessibility and sewer and water facilities being available. _ The city of McHenry was represented by John Looze^ City Attorney; Anthony Corcoran, administrator of McHenry hospital, and Harry Dillon, administrator of the McHenry Medical group. Looze stated it was the desire of the city of McHenry to have; the Junior college located on the Crystal Lake - McHenry blacktop road, immediately south of the existing city limits. It was shown that this site was conveniently accessible to all municipalities in the county by roads which would not necessitate traveling through congested areas. On behalf of the city, he said that adequate sewer and water facilities, would be extended to the site under consideration and that this would be done at the city's expen&es, estimated at $60,- 000. Figures were submitted to establish that 81 percent of the population of McHenry county is locatedeast of Illinois State Route 47, and the continued percentage of growth east and west of this highway would proceed at approximately the same ratio. Of the 747 permits issued by the County Building and Zoning department in 1967, McHenry township led the list with 248. Adding to this the 100 permits issued by the city of McHenry in 1967, Looze said •tKTs ^toor, was an indication ofthe phenomenal growth of residents in thi s area. He further pointed out that approximately 64 percent of the public elementary grade school students and high school students were enrolled in the area encompassed by the three high school districts on the east side of the county. xviinoz, Q THE PLAINDEALER SERVING THE CHAIN-©-LAKES REGION SINCE 1-876' Mr. Corcoran and Mr. Dillon then presented the most compeiling reason for a McHenry location. They announcedthat a new " McHenry hospital would be established on a Crystal Lake - Mc-. Henry blacktop site. The hospital, itself, would be of the latest design and would offer the most complete and up-to-date facilities to the residents of McHenry county. A medical arts center would also be established, in which the present McHenry Medical group would participate with other accredited physicians, surgeonsand dentists. On behalf of the Medical group, Mr. Dillon stated that the entire staff hadofferedtoparticipate inthe overall educational program of the Junior college and that he was sure other medical personnel who would use the new hospital facilities, would cooperate. ,«s> < Corcoran said the facilities ofthe hospital would be available for "on-the job training" inpremedical.predental, paramedical, nursing and other allied courses".
