PAGE 20 . P LAINDE ALER • FRIDAY, JUNE 22.1979 $2,035 MILLION floodlights for security, a more suitable ready room for bus drivers, e cleaned up and !,035 MILLION BOND SALES OKAYED (Continued from page 1) is eliminated. He urged the board to solicit all bids so that the process could be as com­ petitive as possible to get the best product for the least dollars. As McNulty moved for the board to bid the work through general contractors, Swartzloff pointed out that they would lose control of part of the bidding process and could not rule out undesirable subcontractors. One in particular was iden­ tified. Board member David Benrud asked, "Are any of us expert enough to determine who is a satisfactory plumbing bidder, for instance?" Attorney Franke added that the process for rejecting a qualified low bidder is risky because of the problem with the word "qualified." Board members Barbara Slater and Neumann voted against the single general contractor concept. Following a report by transportation committee chairman Benrud, the board okayed the hiring of another bus mechanic and dispatcher for the transportation service by director Fred Goering. Benrud noted, "We've got a new director who is en­ thusiastic about his job and is interested in maintaining a good image for the service, we should support him." Goering had suggested an organization of one lead mechanic at $16,640 and two full time bus mechanics at $24,950 for both. He reported that two had been hired already. The bus dispatcher, he said, would work split shifts for about 5 hours per day at $4 per hour. This job had formerly been taken care of by the secretary. Benrud said the committee had heard Goering's other suggestions and wanted him to determine their cost before presenting them to the board. These included things needed for winterizing, security and parking efficiency for the bus parking lot. A row of electrical outlets for engine heaters. remodeled greeting room for visitors in place of the chaotic old scaleroom being used now for drivers, an additional washroom, insulation of the garage building and leased uniforms for the mechanics are being considered. Benrud noted that the cost of these items would be shared by two districts and board should act on what they thought ap­ propriate and pass them on to District 15 for their action. Goering indicated that the fence which the owner had agreed to place around the parking area was not really needed. When Neumann suggested that the owner might agree to contribute to building and electrical improvements in place of the fence, Goering said he had asked the owner about this and was informed that the owner had agreed to put up the fence and that was it. Neumann commented that if was his choice on the question of improving leased property, he would not do it. Board member Judy Zid questioned the equity of splitting the costs of the bus maintenance equally between the two districts when there were twice as many elemen­ tary students being tran­ sported. Goering said the ratio of buses between the two districts was 60 percent elementary, 40 percent high school. Swartzloff noted that negotiations for a joint tran­ sportation agreement between the two districts had almost been completed last year when interrupted by other con­ siderations. He said it might be fruitful to complete those talks now and set up a new formula based on actual students transported, as in Crystal Lake.

One of these was under a trust, the request made by Robert J. Siman, beneficiary, and Stanley Savage for issuance of a conditional use permit for septic systems. The property is at Pistakee Hills Unit 1. Another was a petition by Ralph M. and Delores I. Biasiello for a conditional use permit and-or an amendment of the zoning ordinance asking for reclassification of a parcel of land from "F" Farming district to "E-2" Estate district and a portion of the parcel changed to "R-l" Residence district. The purpose is to allow implementation of a residential development plan consisting of 1-acre lots for duplexes and 1- acre lots for single family residences. The "E-2" district was granted. The petitioners also received a reclassification of another parcel from "F" Farming to "B-2" Business. The property is in the Holiday Hills area. The third approval involved less than 2 acres with frontage on Broadway, north of Sun- nyside. The petitioners were Gerald and Georgette Sobiesk, who received reclassification from "F" Farming to "E-2" Estate district. Also given an okay was a request by Raymond and Dolores Novotny to reclassify from "F" Farming to "B-l" Business, about 5 acres with frontage on Wilmot road. The petitioner intends to operate a lawn and garden shop and a sporting goods store. A request to reclassify property on the southwest intersection of Charles road, Rt. 120 and Greenwood road from "F" Farming to "E-2" Estate district was denied. The recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals, accepted by the County board, was that the trend of development in that area remains in farming and that a change was not in the public interest. Louis J. Hartman of McHenry was appointed to serve on the McHenry County Conservation district board, his term to run to June 30, 1984. Howard West was present in behalf of recognition of Viet­ nam veterans. He acknowledged the service of five from the county, none from McHenry, who are receiving presidential citations and 10 others who are otherwise cited. Six of the seven Dairy Princess candidates were present to meet the board. The dinner at which one of them will be selected winner is scheduled June 28.

In other Council action, City Engineer Hjalmar Sundin recommended that the Council reject both bids for the sewer plant expansion and put out new ones, which they did. Both ordinances proposed at the last Council meeting by Alderman Harker, the first concerning the late payment of sewer and water bills and the second providing for outside water meters, were passed unanimously by the Council. The ordinance approving the annexation agreement of the Morris-Evans property, the nine-and-one-half acres north of Bull Valley road destined to become an auto body repair shop, was approved by the Council with only Alderman Schooley dissenting. The ordinances for the an­ nexation and the zoning of the property will be presented at the next regular City Council meeting. New Poles and lights are in order for the tennis courts at Freund field. The Council also voted to allocate $5,100 for the CYCLE ACCIDENT INJURES TWO-Members of the McHenry Rescue squad.

The original plan to have the courts resurfaced in green-red- green, costing $5,600, was altered to all green because of the $500 difference in price. City Clerk Barb Gilpin said that it was easier to tell if a ball was out of bounds between courts of differing hue, but, "for five hundred dollars, we can see just as easily on green."

McHENRY CROWNS A QUEEN FOR 79 (Continued from page 1) can get anywhere, then they are in there for the wrong reasons. Miss Bonk then gave an emotional goodbye to the crowd. Linda said, "Thank you to everyone. Being Miss McHenry this past year has opened so many doors for me." Linda last week became first runnerup in the Miss Car- pentersville contest in Dundee, which was a preliminary contest leading to the Miss America pageant. "I hope I have represented you as well as McHenry has me," she closed, and took her last walk through the Legion hall as her reign as Miss McHenry 1978 drew to an end. Linda crowned the new Miss McHenry 1979 while Karen received her bouquet of long stemmed" red roses and her ribbon from two of the mem­ bers of the American Legion auxiliary and her trophy from R o b e r t P r e n d e r g a s t , representing the McHenry Chamber of Commerce, one of the sponsors of the pageant. "I was shocked when they said I won. I just couldn't believe it," Karen said. "I just prayed and it all happend." The judges in the pageant were Mickie Galayda a sales representative from Forlow Tours; Arthur Newell, vice- president for Zaar Productions, and Jo LeBlanc an account executive for United Airlines. Their difficult task in selecting the queen had lasted the entire day. They spent the afternoon interviewing the contestants in groups of three and then in­ dividually.

Karen will begin her reign as queen with a trip, accompanied by her mother, to Nashville, Tenn., with a bus tour of the Hermitage-Andrew Jackson's house. The Grand Old Opry, and Opry Land U.S'A. will be among the sights on her tour, which will be scheduled for July 5-8. Karen will then reign over the Fiesta week activities which will be from July 25 -29. YOUTH GROUP ACTION LEADS TO ARREST OF TWO (Continued from page 1) Their "boisterousness" continued and Natzel returned with a gun, hoping to disperse the group. In the struggle that ensued, Natzel was disarmed and the gun discharged har­ mlessly into the air. Natzel suffered mindr in­ juries, according to thf report. Later Friday night, while patrolling in the Wonder Lake Center beach area, a Sheriff's police officer stopped to in­ vestigate a group of youths. While trying to get a name from one of the youths, the Robert L.
