PAGE 18-PIAINDEAIER-- COUNTY ENTERS SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENTPLAN (Continued from page 1) committee listed a total received May 9 at $98,742. Of this amount, liquor licenses accounted to $97,400 and amusement licenses. $1,342 The board supported a motion by Willis Simms of McHenry to accept a proposed grant concerned with the In­ take Screening Diversion and Family Services. David Klasing, director of court services for the county, was present to explain the grant. It is his opinion the county will save from $75,000 to $100,000 over a period of years by ac­ cepting it. The cost to the county will be ~ $4,000. The program will assist with the costs involved in the public defender's office, in­ cluding truancy and other youth problems. The county's approval was for a one-year trial basis. Klasing feels he will be in a position to evaluate the success or failure of the program by the FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1977 end of the third quarter and make his report to the board. Board Chairman Richard Klemm presented copies of a letter responding to his phone conversation with Donald R. Vonnahme. acting director, Illinois Department of Tran­ sportation. Vonnahme confirmed points he had made verbally regar­ ding the village of Fox Lake's proposal to outlet a sewer line to the Fox river. The village has applied to the state for approval of revised plans to the existing permit which would authorize this outlet. The Department of Tran­ sportation has not approved these revised plans due to objections received from Rep. Thomas Hanahan, George F. Starr, supervisor. Algonquin township, the McHenry County Regional Planning commission and the McHenry County board. Vonnahme promised to hold this request in abeyance until these objections are resolved or until such time as Fox Lake can satisfactorily demonstrate why the approval should be granted over the objections.

The letter told of the President's anticipation that Congress will soon approve funds requested to expand the size of the public service program. It was disclosed that more than $2,000,000 will be made available to counties and cities. With the funds, the President hopes to double the number of public service jobs provided under the Comprehensive Employment and Training act (CETA), Jack Hafner, who heads CETA in McHenry county, was asked the proportions of unemployment within the county. Hafner replied that he has been unable to obtain a consistent answer. He said if all women remaining in the home are regarded as not employed (not taking into account those who might wish to work but have not found employment), the percentage is 5.4. However, if these women are listed among the unemployed, the figure is released at 7.1 per­ cent. Approval was given to the employment of M Aradas of Massachusetts to fill the position of planning director. From a field of five candidates, the selection was made. His salary will be $20,000 per year plus $1,500 for one-time moving expense. He will begin work about June 1. A report of the Zoning & Planning committee, approved by the board, contained results of a Developer Donation committee meeting held in April with about twenty per­ sons in attendance. The group favored developer donations being made at the time building permits are issued. However, the attorney present said because such payments are tied to the Plat act, the fees must be collected at the time the plat is approved, which means the developer must pay the fee before building is begun. A proposed ordinance was returned to the attorney for review. This is expected to be completed next month. It will be discussed by the County board at its June meeting and voted on in July. A resolution was passed, authorizing the expenditure of various amounts of the money on deposit in the fund known as the Anti-Recession Fiscal Assistance fund. Of this amount, $28,590.13 will be used as follows: for the purchase of four cars for the Sheriff's department. $16,801.95; one car for the Health department, $4,425.90; and two cars for the Building & Zoning department, $9,118.48. Robert Longo, representing the National Police association, gave seven citations to members of the Sheriff s department for their ex­ ceptional investigative work that resulted in the ap­ prehension of five youths in the rock-throwing incident that caused the death of one driver. Several appointments were made by the board. These in­ clude William B. Gieselman of Wonder Lake to a three-year term on the Wonder Lake Fire Protection district as a trustee; Kennis Brannock and Robert Lambourn, both of McHenry, among four to serve three-year terms on the Welfare Services committee (Public Aid department); Walter Dean of McHenry for two-year term on the McHenry County Board of Review; and LeRoy E. Gosch and Jack Schmitt, both of Spring Grove, to serve on the Burton-Richmond Fire Protection district. CITY HEARS NIPC WASTEWATER PLAN (Continued from page 1) confirmation from McHenry s City Council that the wastewater needs analysis report done at no cost to the city by Baxter and Woodman is the most current and accurate report, and is a true representation of McHenry s wastewater needs.

LEE & RAY ELECTRIC 1005 N. Front (S. Me. 31) McHenry 385-0882 McHenry 's needs will be based on the filed report. Baxter and Woodman, in their needs analysis report, offered numerous alternatives for sewage treatment--all of which included the McCullom Lake and McHenry Shores area. This was done, according to Glen Dirks of the IEPA, because all future requests will be evaluated on servicing the facilities area, and McHenry's area also includes McCullom Lake and McHenry Shores. Hal Sundin of Baxter and Woodman explained the various alternatives of wastewater treatment to the six aldermen present;, (Aldermen Vincent Adams and William Bolger were unable to attend). , Sundin stated that, in his report, "the first general group of alternatives is that each community has its own wastewater treatment facility." In plan "1A," McHenry would enlarge its facility at its present location, and then purchase land immediately to the south of the present plant for expansion. McCullom Lake arid McHenry Shores would each have its own facility. The projected cost of such a plan would be $14,122,400. __ Alternative "IB" found McCullom Lake and McHenry Srores each building its own treatment facility, but with McHenry putting in a new treatment plant across the Fox river. The cost of this plan was slightly less, $14,115,100. "The second group of alternatives that we studied was a regionalization type of treatment facility," Sundin said. In alternative "2A," all wastes from the three com­ munities involved would be brought to and treated at the McHenry plant. The McHenry plant would expand at its present location, again buying land directly south of the present plant location for needed expansion. This plan, the least expensive of all proposals, would cost $12,655,400. Plan "2B" has all wastewater going to the McHenry plant, but with the plant being located on the east side of the Fox river. This would cost $12,690,300. "The problem," Sundin said, "is that while it is easy to get the sewage down from Mc­ Cullom Lake, it is difficult to get the sewage from McHenry Shores up to the McHenry facility. Therefore^ we have two moi"e proposals in this catagory:" Proposal "2C" has two plants, a major plant in McHenry at its present location, with a small, subplant in McHenry Shores. The cost of this proposal is $13,447,900. Plan "2D" is the same as "2C," but with the McHenry plant being located on the east side of the river. Cost of this proposal is $13,497,900. Sundin then explained the final two alternatives which would be a "split in the region, where there would be two major plants, one in McHenry at its present site or across the river, and one in McHenry Shores." McCullom Lake and portions of McHenry would use the McHenry facility while McHenry Shores and portions of McHenry would use the McHenry Shores facility. « Depending on whether the McHenry facility is across the riVer or not, the cost would be $12,958,900 (at present location) or $13,627,500 (across the river). - "These are the overall computations of costs for the region," Sundin said. "Presently, McHenry has a facility that will probably serve it for another five years without need for expansion." "When he tells us we have another four or five years use in our sewer plant, keep in mind that if you start today, it will take at least that long to get the new facility in operation," Stanek told the aldermen. Kraman stated that the question the aldermen must answer is, "Do they find the Baxter and Woodman report a suitable analysis for the next twenty years. "The purpose of the needs analysis is not to lock your community into everything," Kraman added. "The next step, after accepting the report, is for the three municipalities to get together on their own and work out some in­ tergovernmental agreements." One of the aldermen asked Kraman if turning down the needs analysis report would have any effect on future requests for funding for the city of McHenry^-alone. "There is no such thing as retaliation," Kraman said. "What we will be doing is comparing your proposal .against the plan on file." "You (the city of McHenry) must study the needs of the entire area, not just McHenry," Sundin said. "We can't say 'no' to this plan," Stanek stated. "They're asking us for comments on it. My position is that there are solutions proposed that we can live with." a < -- -- -- Ford confirms post-elec­ tion call to Nixon. Campaign seeks to pro­ mote swine flu interest.
