The first year won them the novice award and last year the most improved chorus award.

Comerio. 3512 W First avenue, was appointed to the Planing commission, as was Willis W. Martin, 508 Kensington drive Martin's appointment brought heated debate from some members of the Council, as he is employed by the Residential Development group, formerly Robino-Ladd Aldermen Smith. Schaedel. Bolger and Adams voted against Martin's appointment, citing conflict of interest as the source of their objection The Residential Develop­ ment group works extensively in the McHenry area, and it was the aldermen's feeling that he would be unable to disassociate himself from his job to work for the betterment of the city.

"I'm just tickled pink with our Planning commission." Stanek said "There's an abundance of talent there." Ms. Nolan resigned from the Zoning board due to her new (position as an alderman, and Paul Fidler was not reap pointed to the same board. One of the vacancies was filled by Anna Mae Cuda, a loser in the recent city elec­ tions. Clint Claypool was reappointed to the Zoning board, and present member Ron Wilkins was named to replace Fidler as chairman of the same board. Since this was a special meeting, little other action was taken The Council voted near unanimously to purchase new squad cars from Torkelson Lincoln Mercury. The Council reuqested bids for new squad cars from all car dealers in the city. Three dealers submitted bids, with Torkelson being easily the lowest. The city will purchase five .squad cars, all Mercury Cougars with a 118-inch wheel base and a 400-2V engine, for $18,352.50. Last year, the city purchased four new cars from the same dealer, and car maintenance during the year was less than one-half of what it was with cars of a different make. In addition to the excellent maintenance record Torkelson has had, Torkelson's bid was more than $2,000 less than the next lowest. Some of the confusion surrounding the maintenance of the Mercury cars was caused by the aldermen not knowing that Torkelson was servicing all six squad cars, not just the four Mercury's which were bought last year Also, part of the maintenance cost, which was $4,090 for the Fiscal year as opposed to $10,000 last year, was not charged by Torkelson, but was accrued for radial repairs. Torkelson has also given the city a free car to use while one of the police cars is temporarily out of commission. The aldermen, with the ex­ ception of Schaedel, were completely satisfied with Torkelson's service, and ac­ cepted his bid by a seven to one margin. Two of the three retiring aldermen, James Wegener and Pepping, commented on their four years in office. Wegener thanked everyone for their cooperation and had HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Renovate Theatre Drive-In Besides the completely new facilities inside the McHenry Outdoor theatre, extensive work has been done to make the exterior of the site pleasant to passersby. The entranceway has been repaired so that cars will no longer have to roll through huge holes, and new fencing makes the entire area pleasant to view. * « STAFF PHOTO--WAYNE GAYLORD When a city like McHenry, suffers from growing pains, it's always pleasant to find someone, or in this case a family, willing to sacrifice in order to better the community. Certainly the Ryan family, Henry and his sons, Tom and Jeff, have done that, com­ pletely renovating the old Skyline Drive-In, and opening Friday night with the NEW McHenry Outdoor theatre. new" «s not an The word ' exaggeration. Person? wno visit the drive- in; which opens Friday, will find just about everything j$ changed from last year- and changed for the better From the new fencing to the completely remodeled con­ cession area to the new washrooms, the Ryans have attempted to make the drive-in a desirable place for family entertainment The emphasis is on "family . ' ' "We want the families to come to the theatre," Tom Ryan said "We don't want the beer drinkers. We just hope all this work will be appreciated by the public, and that they will act accordingly." To that end, no X-rated pictures will be shown at the theatre. special words for the residents of the third ward. ' ' A l t h o u g h p e r s o n a l responsibilities make it im­ possible for me to continue," he added, "we've got a good city here working together, and let's keep working together." Pepping expressed similar sentiments, adding that "It's been a very enriching ex­ perience for me. The city of McHenry is certainly moving in the right direction." Then, after explaining that business commitments forced his retirement, he stated that "It's quite conceivable that in two years I may be a candidate again." LaVerne Hromec was the third retiring alderman. In other action, Stanek an­ nounced that there will be a public hearing concerning the Regional Transit authority (RTA) at McHenry high school West campus May 13 at 7:50 p.m. Also, Richard Swantz, superintendent of McHenry high school, sent a letter to the Council requesting that the city take over maintenance of the school tennis courts. The matter will be studied further before any action is taken. Finally, Ms. Gilpin gave the annual city clerk's report to the Council. In the report, it was noted that $3,440 was collected in fees for death certificates and fishing licenses since November. More than one-half of that amount would normally be kept by the city clerk. However, since a new ruling, the money is now turned over to the city treasury. Ms. Gilpin's salary was raised $1,500 for this coming year, a year in which she will again turn over the fee money to the city. While Monday's meeting was held in the relaxed atmosphere of having friends and relatives abundant in the audience, the Monday, May 2 meeting will find the spectator section probably filled with anxious residents of Edgebrook Heights. At the next meeting, the Council will vote on the zoning request from Edward Buss and Anthony Pintozzi to rezone land across from the Indian Manor restaurant from residential to commercial and multi-family dwellings. The Zoning board recom­ mended the Council deny the zoning change. It will take a two-thirds vote (six out of eight) from the Council to override the Zoning board recommendation. One member of the Zoning board. Ms. Nolan, is now an alderman. She voted against the zoning change as a member of the Zoning board, and is expected to vote no' Monday n ght, meaning that proponents of the zoning change will need to get the approval of six of the seven other aldermen. Thank You Chuck Lewandowski Phone: 385-2304 Tony Fick Phone 344-243'8 LAW IIAY USA AMYI I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people of this city who have contac­ ted me personally, expressing disappointment f in my decision not to seek re-election. It was indeed gratifying to receive such kind words, and I do sincerely appreciate it. Special thanks to the people of the third ward who suPP°rted me. and gave me their cooperation these past four years. It was my pleasure to have served you, and altho it is I humanly impossible to satisfy everyone, I Because added personal responsibilities made it impossible for me to seek another term at this time, I will continue to be just as interested in McHenry and its future. Good Luck to the city council for a successful future. It has been a real pleasure working with you the past four years. We have a great city here. Work together, and keep it that way.
