IN PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23.1981 EVALUATE McHENRY AREA SEWAGE SYSTEM STUDY (Continued from page 1) hut Heck noted that if the well and septic system > was functioning adequately there was no need for a sewer system. Drainer agreed and said that as long as the needs of the entire FPA were addressed, the agency would be satisfied. Heck explained at the meeting that a number of systems were effectively eliminated These included a vacuum sewer system and the individual upgrading of individual well and septic systems. The engineer commented that the vacuum system was not practical in the Shores area and added that lot size restrictions prohibited the upgrading of septic systems Heck said this left three viable alternatives: the conventional gravity sewer, drawing from the home to the street and to the plant; a septic system !o remove solids, but letting liquids move through smaller pipes to a treatment facility; and having each lot equipped with a pressure-grinder pump on the property. The engineers and the IEPA will be looking at the cost effectiveness and the performance of each alternative before recommending a course of action. A McHenry Shores resident and former village president. Rose Lillegard, asked the state agency representative whether "innovative technology" could be worked into the design of the plant, making the con­ struction eligible for additional grant funding Drainer noted that a municipal project using conventional design construction mav be wav back on the list of projects but if "Innovative and Alternative (I&A) technology is used, money can be essentially earmarked for a municipality. Drainer added that the agency is expecting I&A money to be available in the future Drainer also noted that while I&A criteria may pull the project ahead on the list, the Step I FPA study still has to be completed The agency spokesman said that "innovative" technology is in­ creasingly difficult to get approved. Other practices, i.e. land application of sludge for agriculture, etc., are con­ sidered and will be considered alter­ native technologies In response to a question from Ms. Lillegard, Drainer commented that the incineration of sludge is not an alter­ native that the IEPA would recom­ mend. Heck noted that the land application of sludge seems to be the trend in the area. Drainer said that once the plan is submitted, he expected that it would take from six to nine months to get the plan approved. The proposal must be reviewed by a state clearinghouse in Springfield, the state historical preservation officer and must meet Farmers Home review requirements. An environmental assessment must also be conducted. George Heck asked what would happen in the unlikely possibility that a proposal to have the City of McHenry annex the Shores reached fruition ffi the near future. Drainer said the city would become the grantee for Steps II and III. He also added that some agreement would have to be reached in order to transfer the responsibility of Step I to the city. "We would probably close the grant to McHenry Shores and re-issue it to the city." Drainer said. More meetings between the village and the city are expected to be held although no dates have been set at this time. Heck said the question of the population involved, which determines the size of the plant, and the boundary definitions were the two big issues that are still to be resolved. NEW LEGISLATIVE MAP DRAWS CRITICISM (Continued from page 1) on that suit, Klemm noted that four of the seven Supreme court justices are Democrats who "usually stick together on political issues". Klemm added that he thought Republicans could win in a federal court because such courts previously overturned similar decisions in other states, where challengers had a lesser case than do Illinois Republicans. "I think the new map is blatantly partisan and meant soley to enhance the Democratic party" Klemm said, adtjing, "I'm looking for districts which make more sense for the voters they serve".

Anticipate City Deficit BEAUTIFICATION MEETING The McHenry Beautification committee will hold an autumn meeting Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 9 a.m. in the city hall council chambers. Members will assess the past summer program and make plans for 1982. Anyone interested in attending will be welcome. Finance Committee Chairman Alderman Jack Pepping reported at the Monday night City Council meeting that while the year-end revenue projections are expected to be about $20,000 more than anticipated, this still would not offset the $145,000 estimated deficit. Pepping said the committee had asked the various department heads to look at their budgeted expenditures for the rest of the year and come back with a report. The committee had promised city employees that the council would re­ evaluate the financial condition of the city in order to determine if raises could be given this year.

MAILBOX TAMPERING Complaints have been received from Pistakee Highlands residents con­ cerning small children seen tampering with the mailboxes. In some cases mail is reported to have been taken out, and in others, flags have been lowered on the boxes. year the council voted to institute a wage and hiring freeze. "Unless there is an earth-shaking revelation when the department heads report, we probably won't look at salary increases," Pepping said. "The subject is not closed, but there has been no substantial improvement in the picture." The council also heard a proposal from the McHenry Library board concerning the repayment of a $15,716.64 debt incurred in 1976. The board has proposed that the debt be reduced by $7,080.23, leaving $8,636.41 to be repaid. The reduction is due to an error in the 1979 tax levy where the city levied 13.9 cents instead of the maximum 15 cents allowed by law. The 1.1 cent difference would have resulted in $7,080.23, 1 according to Library board figures. The aldermen seemed to feel that this was a legitimate attempt to meet the council half-way and instructed the Finance committee to meet with the Library board to discuss the matter further. In other business, the council delayed action on a petition for annexation of two lots on Country Club drive because the petition did not meet certain legal requirements, according to City At­ torney Bernard Narusis. The council amended the Subdivision Control ordinance to bring the penalty structure in line with other city or­ dinances. The range of fines was changed to $10 to $500. Previously, the range had been from $5 to $200. The possible jail sentence for violation was dropped. The council approved the change of a private street name provided the residents of the area reimburse the city for the city attorney's time and city clerk's costs in changing the billing addresses. The measure was brought to the council floor by Alderman Edward Datz, who said the residents of the condominiums along the southern part of Garden Quarter drive wanted more identity for their area. The residents sought a name change to N. Fox lane on that part of Garden Quarter drive from Royal to the end of the property. It was explained that the city is required to change the name of a street even though it is privately owned. After substantial discussion, the council decided to relet bids for five police cars. The council approved a motion to authorize Superintendent of Public Works Richard Weber to purchase asphalt for the repaving of five streets in Lakeland Park. In two separate motions, the council accepted the dedication ^ from Residential Development Group of a lot at the intersection of Prairie and Oak and approved Phase I engineering for the Green St. Federal Aid Urban (FAU) seed project County Hosts ADA Meeting The Branded Steak House, 4419 Northwest highway, Crystal Lake, will be the site of the annual meeting of District 1 of the American Dairy Association of Illinois Tuesday, Nov. 3.
