Estimates will also be sought to gravel, grade and seal Commercial avenue in Ward 4. That cost will be paid from the General fund. Tlfe bid of Torkelson-Lincoln- Mercury was accepted for a fleet of four 4-door standard sedan squad cars at a price of $13,980.12 (Mercury Montegos). Other bids received were from Buss Ford at $13,980 and Payton Chevrolet at $14,260. Buss Ford was low bidder but the cars did not meet the required specifications regarding heavy duty front seats and heavy duty alter­ nators. Torkelson-Lincoln- Mercury met, all the specifications except the wheel base which was specified at "approximate 121 feet 5 in­ ches". The Montego has an 118- foot wheel base. The motion to accept the bid of Torkelson-Lincoln-Mercury passed on a 7-1 vote. Alderman Walther Schaedel cast the negative vote. Chief Kenneth Espey in­ formed aldermen there has been confusion in the past because city squad cars and cars of other police depart­ ments are the same color. Police have been criticized for doing certain things when in fact squad cars from other departments were the ones involved. Because it is a white squad car, people assume it is city police, Espey indicated. Espey was therefore r.uthorized by the Council to select a new color for the squad cars. The bid of Payton Chevy at $5,454 for a 3/4 ton truck for the Public Works department was unanimously approved. Buss Ford's bid on the same specifications was only $21 higher, $5,475. No other bids were received. The License committee looked into the problem of solicitation in the city. Alderman James Wegener, chairman of the committee, presented an updated permit form for solicitation requests. The permit forms must be filled out 15 days prior to the date requested and submitted to the city clerk's office. The clerk will notify Wegener, who will present it to the City Council for approval. Wegener emphasized that each solicitor will be issued a copy of his permit and residents should ask to see that permit before doing business with any individual. City Attorney Bernard Narusis noted that wherever a notice is posted on a residence "No Solicitation" or "No Peddling", it must be complied rjffie SflOW •Qn'z&awafid 21-23 N.

Solicitation permits will be required for any person who goes house to house "soliciting funds, subscriptions, credit, property, financial assistance or any other thing of value on the pleas or representation that such will be used for charitable or religious organizations or purposes". The Council complied with a request from the Chamber of Commerce for a $1,000 donation toward McHenry's Bicen­ tennial Fiesta celebration. Last year $500 was donated. Rick Lane, C of C president, ap­ peared to make the request. « The Chamber also requested the closing of Green street and Riverside drive on Saturday, July 31 and Saturday, Aug. 21 The Aug. 21 date had already been approved by the Council for the annual Sidewalk Sale. However, the Chamber also wanted to close the streets July 31 which is the day before Fiesta day, Sunday, Aug. 1. Lane explained that mer­ chants felt it was too early to hold their annual fall sidewalk sale July 31 so the Chamber was looking for some other attraction which would bring visitors into the city to keep the momentum and festivities of Fiesta week alive. The Northland Art league agreed to set up displays of their art works on Green street and Riverside drive to attract people to the city and shopping areas. The annual bicycle parade will also be held that day on Green street as in previous years. Alderman Pepping pointed out that the local Bicentennial commission wanted "to tie Bicentennial and Fiesta ac­ tivities together into one gala celebration". In the past, streets were closed and retailers, restaurants and taverns brought their business on the streets. People milled around in a friendly fashion while doing business and this is the atmosphere the Bicen­ tennial commission wanted to preserve. Alderman James Wegener expressed the opinion that many merchants might not be agreeable to eliminating all the parking spaces in front of their stores since parking is scarce in some areas. The possibility of setting up the art displays in vacant lots on the streets was also brought up. Since there seemed to be dissension on the matter, Alderman Wegener moved that action be deferred until mer­ chants affected by the closing could be canvassed. Lane felt there would be no problem with a two-week delay on the decision. The motion to defer passed on a 6-2 vote. Aldermen Schaedel and Hromec voted no. Mayor Stanek appointed a special committee composed of Aldermen Wegener, Bolger and Harker, to check with mer­ chants and report back at the next regular meeting. Representatives of the Nor­ thland Art league will also be contacted by the committee. City Clerk Terry Wilde reported that the city's allot­ ment of Revenue Sharing funds for the 6-month period from July 1, 1976 to Dec 31, 1976 is $62,564. These funds were designated for use as follows: new bridge and traffic control, $52,564 and mosquito abatement, $10,000. Mayor Stanek announced that the city police department had been granted second year funding of $53,528 for its new regional communication systems installation. A similar amount was received last year. The city's participation in the grant is about $4,000. The communications system is planned for completion by July 1 this year. The application of Eugene Kalinowski to operate two mobile Weenie Wagons for selling food in the parking lot at McHenry Market Place was denied on a recommendation of the city Plan commission. Chairman of that com­ mission, Alderman Edward Datz, said it was the ..com­ mission's recommendation to refuse the permit on six points: 1-Installing these mobile units on a permanent status in the parking lot area would not be desirable or attractive; 2-There is no need for the facilities since there are already six prepared food or restaurant facilities within sight or walking distance of the proposed location; 3-The above six food facilities provide complete personal facilities for their customers and comply with the city ordinance for taxing requirements; 4-The proposed location has already been designated for McHenry Market Place parking and should not be violated; 5-This proposed operation would generate pedestrian traffic in a parking area which would endanger the safety of people walking to and from the mobile wagons. A question arose as to what organizations or clubs could use city hall facilities for meetings. It was noted that reservations must be made through the city clerk's office and only not-for-profit groups would be eligible. Other details can be obtained from the clerk's office. The application of Mrs. James Selvaggio for a Class A liquor license was approved. It is for a new business operation being constructed on Route 31 south, which is expected to open in mid-June. In connection wit£ the issuance of that license, an ordinance was passed to in­ crease the number of Class A licenses from seventeen to eighteen. Monthly bills in the amount of $15,771.09 were approved by a 7- 1 vote. Mrs. Hromec cast the negative vote. Regarding those bills, the following amounts will be paid: from the General fund, $9,164.67; Water and Sewer fund, $4,970.48; Motor Fuel Tax fund, $825.50 and Revenue Sharing fund, $810.44. Supt. Meyer was authorized to purchase a transmission jack for use at the city garage to repair engines at a price not to exceed $600 The purchase of a new 4-volume set of Illinois Revised Statutes at a cost of $75-$100 was recommended by City Attorney Bernard Narusis. City Clerk Terry Wilde was instructed to make the pur­ chase The Council agreed to issue a permit to John Ruzicka, a local resident, to tour the city sharpening scissors, knives and lawn mowers He has been doing this for the past eight years Alderman Bolger announced the Sewer and Water com­ mittee would hold a meeting Monday. May 24. at 8 p.m. to continue discussion on a proposed Capital Improvement fund Also, a group of people from Country Club Estates who wish to annex to the city and hook up to the city sewer system, will appear at that time. It is an open meeting and everyone is welcome to attend. Bolger said. The next meeting of the City Council will be Tuesday, June 1, because of the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, May 31.

Chairman Walter Dean of McHenry questioned whether it is not the individual city's duty to supply police for special occasions In answer. Chief Deputy Henry Nulle replied that it was a custom for the county to assist with police protection at such times and municipalities could hardly be expected to have sufficient auxiliary police members at their disposal to handle large crowds. The zoning petition of Edwin H. and Dorothy Hettermann for an amendment to the zoning ordinance to permit reclassification from "R 1" to "B-2" district was granted. The request was made to provide additional parking needed due to widening of the road.
