PROGRESS AT SCHOOLS REVIEWED (Continued from page 1) about $1,000. Although KeUy called the figure "overpriced" and at least one board member showed displeasure, approval was given. The Building committee had recommended this action since it was a small part of a project that exceeds $100,000. A new diving board in the amount of $600 also was approved. Catherine Alvary shared with members information regarding action by the SEDOM board, which she at­ tends as a District 156 representative. A dinner meeting was set in the Central office for Tuesday, June 15, to review and discuss considerable^Uormation gathered by^he administration related to/the district's con­ tinued effOTtS to develop a long range facility plan.

"In the meantime, you have disclosed your entire case and you may have subjected some of these witnesses to serious intimidation because you have some elements of this in this case," Narusis stated. The Mayor and Narusis felt the matter should be appealed before the local Circuit court in Woodstock. The city would request that the court order the State Liquor commission to hear the city's case without a prior local hearing on the grounds it is without any legal authority to remand and set up that kind of criteria. No facts would be tried, no jury would hear facts. It is a question of law, Narusis explained. There are avenues of appeal for both sides and Narusis warned it could be a long ex­ pensive ordeal. Stanek noted that Attorney Richard Kelly, who is representing Jake's Dead End Lounge (Richard Jager), had a copy of the entire police file which was given to the Council regarding incidents that had occurred at Jake's tavern. Stanek said he hoped Kelly had not received that file from anyone on the Council and he had a "bad feeling about it". It was pointed out by Stanek that "if we are not going . to enforce our ordinances and' stand firm on what we believe is right, we might as well tear them up and go home." Alderman George Harker made a motion that the Council concur with the liquor com­ missioner's actions to go to "Woodstock Circuit court and get an opinion on the procedure to be followed. On a roll call vote, the motion passed 5 to 1. Alderman Ray Smith voted no. Aldermen Smith and Bolger were the only two councilmen who voted "no" on an original motion April 26 to reissue all the liquor licenses for next year except Jake's, Mr. K's and Club Alibi. Alderman Jack Pepping informed the Council he would like' to clarify something that appeared in the Plaindealer which aroused the concern of former City Treasurer Tom Bolger, He wanted to comment on it so the quotation would appear in its proper context. Bolger called Pepping regarding a comment he made while disci^si^g the financial condition of the city of McHenry. "I made the statement in relation to General fund moneys that we were in much better shape now than we were a year ago. citing not only our cash balance but the moneys invested. Then I made the statement that a year ago we did not have a dime in­ vested. That was a true statement. However, as it appeared in the paper, it ap­ peared as just a statement that a year ago we did not have a dime invested. I was talking about General fund moneys not total funds that the city of McHenry had available to ttleiV' Pepping explained. "Evidently when Tom saw that, he being the former treasurer of course, wondered why we were taking pot shots at him because he did in fact have moneys invested. It was true, he did have moneys invested. It was not meant in any way to be a^ disclaimer on the job Tom Bolgef did. My statement relatea only to General fund moneys, not to total funds," Supt. Fred Meyer emr phasized that Cleanup week in the city would begin Monday, June 7. This schedule will be followed: Monday, June 7, north of Waukegan road east of the railroad tracks; Tuesday, June 8, south of Waukegan road east of the tracks; Wednesday, June 9, south of Route 120 west of the tracks and Thursday, June 10, north of Route 120 west of the tracks. Andy Bos of 3808 W. Anne street, presented a petition to the Council opposing the continuation of Anne street to Route 31. It was signed by twenty-seven of the thirty-four residents on the street. Previously, residents of Sorensen road ask the city to extend their private road to Anne in order to make a through street from Green to Route 31. They offered to donate money and land toward the project. The matter was placed in the hands of the Plan commission who were to in­ vestigate costs involved in the project and the necessary acquisition of land. The Council had more or less committed itself to participate in the construction of this road since it felt the road would afford another exit from Edgebrook Heights and would benefit the public. Residents of Anne street contended that >there were manv small children living on the street and construction of a through street would cause an unsafe condition due to the heavy traffic. Following lengthy debate, it was decided to have the Plan commission continue negotiations with Sorensen road residents. When the matter comes to the Council for final approval, the petitions will again be presented and residents of Anne street will be notified so they may present their objections at that time. Alderman Ray Smith made this recommendation so petitioners could be assured they would be given the same treatment as the people who want the road continuation. Attorney Harold McKinney of Crystal Lake appeared before the Council to question the manner in which a request from his clients, Eugene Kalinowski and another man, had been handled regarding placement of hot dog wagons in the McHenry Market Place parking lot. The ^natter was turned down by the Council after a recommendation by the Plan commission but no formal vote was taken on it, McKinney related. The attorney said he had examined city ordinances and since his clients were willing to comply with all the regulations, he could not determine "what violation of any nature they would be transgressing." He mentioned a possible rehearing on the matter. McKinndy asked what some of the Council's reasons were for turning the proposal down. Alderman Pepping said he felt the objections were based more on aesthetics than anything - else. He pointed out the city has been actively trying to "weed out" trailer type operations in the city. He said it would be ludicrous to approve this operation of a business out of a trailer when the city is at­ tempting to put a stop to businesses using trailers for storage. "For aesthetic purposes, we just would prefer not to have that sort of a commercial establishment operating in the city of McHenry," Pepping stated. He also said he felt there was no need for a hot dog type operation, since there are several already in the city In answer to a question from Alderman LaVeme Hromec, city Attorney Narusis replied that if the proposed business does not violate any of the three basic restrictions, the permit would have to be granted "You must operate within the, framework of your ordinances, you have no choice." Narusis said. "I doubt you can just outlaw certain activity unless it is absolutely dangerous in some fashion or that you can relate to public health, welfare or safety." Narusis explained Alderman Hromec also pointed out there are matters of public safety and inadequate parking involved City or­ dinances call for a certain number of parking spaces for businesses and placement of the ho} dog wagons in the parking ^pt would affect the number of spaces required ^Also, the safety of children running through the parking lot to reach these wagons was a concern of the Council. Stanek said there were many questions regarding the operation. "Would the business meet the building code if it were built on a permanent foundation? Would the owners of that property agree to allow a permanent foundation to be placed at that location? If so. do we allow self-contained septic systems in a building?" "This might meet the sanitation and health or­ dinances for a trailer and for a food dispensing machine but the other questions are very ambiguous right now and unclear." Stanek stressed. "I would think the owners of the property would have to be a party to this," he noted. Stanek told McKinney that no formal vote was taken by the Council on the matter. It was a consensus, he said. McKinney pointed out that a popcorn concession in the same area is basically the same type of operation that his clients are proposing. He was told the permit for that concession was also brought before the Council for approval. McKinney thanked the Council and left the chambers to confer with his two clients who were at the meeting. Alderman George Harker, chairman of the Streets and Sidewalk committee, an­ nounced that after discussion with merchants and the Chamber of commerce, it was decided to schedule Dollar Days for July IS. 16 and 1 • w ith no street closings On Saturday.

Approval was unanimously given to draw up an ordinance which would permit St Patrick's Catholic church to sell liquor during two weekends in June on the church premises in connection with a fund raising event. A request from the Nor theastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) for a donation of $322 from the city was approved unanimously The contribution is based on population The money will be used for planning projects in the 6-county planning region On a request by the Mayor, who is also city liquor com missioner, the Council voted to reduce the number of Class A liquor licenses in the city from 18 to 17.
