McCLATCHEY (Continued from page 1) With a full-time / ad­ ministrator, we can develop a good, cohesive plan for progress...we can act now, not later, h he added. Noting one of the problems that plagues the city, Mc- Clatchey commented that steps must be taken to deal with the traffic situation. "That's one of the things I have heard m most often going door-to-door," McClatchey said. "I am not an engineer but I think we need a study commission." McClatchey said some ideas to alleviate problems could involve one-way streets or additions to existing roads. "Someone has to put their foot down, now," he said. McClatchey also has come out strongly for the city to develop programs for senior citizens. "we have no programs for senior citizens. It's a shame. Other cities can do it, why can't we?" McClatchey asked. "I believe the city should be there to help, especially when you consider the (proposed) federal government cutbacks to seniors." The mayoral candidate says a city administrator would be able to devote his or her efforts toward obtaining grants for city projects, budgeting, attracting business to the city. "It would be a centrally-based leadership," McClatchey said. "Right now, each department head acts as their own authority, without looking to a single figure." Eliminating the waste in city government would provide a lot of money, McClatchey main­ tained. "You have to spend within your needs rather than your wants," he said. "That's the bottom line." If Frank McClatchey is successful in a little less than a week and he takes the oath of office as mayor, there will be a vacant spot among the eight chairs that face him three Mondays each month. The question was posed to him, "Do you have someone in mind to fill your spot?" "I've thought about that. I'd want someone with experience, county experience; someone who would represent this ward- I asked Clint Claypool and he accepted," McClatchey said. Claypool is a former McHenry County Board chairman. The other mayoral candidate facing the same potential problem is Aid. William Busse (2nd). When asked, Busse said it would be "premature" to name anyone at mis time. McClatchey has been a familiar sight in recent weeks, pounding the pavement in the city's four wards on an ex­ tensive door-to-door campaign. He says the response has been BUSSE Page 3 - PLAIN DEALER-HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27,199S (Continued from page l) "I am looking for alternatives. The present mayor refuses to look at alternatives. I am looking for a more professional adminstration," Busse said. Busse referred to the same example used by Mayor Joseph Stanek where a lady called to have a tree removed from her front yard after it had fallen. The mayor used the illustration to demonstrate the openness and approachability of his ad­ ministration. "She called the mayor. Here it becomes politics; doing favors for someone. There should be no politics in essential city ser­ vices-police, water and sewer, snow plowing, tree removal, etc.," Bu,sse said. "She should be able to call public works and' have it takeft care of." The mayor's role should be to set screened from the public. I have a phone. The key is organization.' )rgi B candidates said it has been "fantastic." "There has really been nothing negative at all," Mc­ Clatchey said. "People are asking a lot more questions." McClatchey noted that his youth has not stopped him before as he was hired nine years ago and was the youngest driver's license examiner in the state and moved on to be the youngest assistant manager, working at the driver's license facility in Woodstock. Presently, he is probably the youngest supervisor and he is still working at the Woodstock office. McClatchey has been a resident of the McHenry area for more than 20 years. He lives on Riverside Drive and is soon to be married. committees, inform the (MQple and provide direction and leadership, Busse said. "We pay the department heads good money. Tne mayor should not be the supreme public works superintendent," Busse said. Busse commented that he was not advocating change for change's sake. "We should do so for economic reasons, measuring its success against a yardstick. The mayor should be enlightened e enough to look at alternatives. If it doesn't work we can go back," he added. Busse admitted that some people have stereotyped him as a "corporate type" and one who would be inaccessible as mayor. Sitting in his office at First National Bank, Busse pointed and said, "I am not a corporate- type really. I am just trying to make a living like everyone else in town. You don't need an appointment to see me. I am not "You didn't listen, Joe..."

"A part-time mayor en­ courages good people, con­ cerned people to get involved. A full-time mayor limits the number of people who could hold the job," Busse said. Asked if he had anyone in mind to fill his spot as alderman should the April 2 balloting be in his favor, Busse said it was "premature:" "Oh, I've been thinking about people, sure. I would probably look for someone who shares some of my concerns and would listen, be responsive and communicate. To have an ef­ fective democracy, you need good people," Busse said. Busse said he would like to see the quality of life improve in McHenry. To do this, he ad­ vocates aggressively seeking out desireable businesses to locate here. These include research and development, light manufacturing, high quality retail stores and more service businesses, like insurance and financial. .

"The town will grow regar­ dless of who is mayor. How it grows is the question.
