PASS $984,300 CITY LEVY (Continued from page 1) and where would the City split the cost? Mayor Stanek said, "How do we interpret the or­ dinance? If it is free, everyone will want their sidewalks replaced." Half of the Council, Aldermen Meurer, Schooley, Wieser and Adams were in favor of sending the matter to committee for further study and recommendation. In casting the tie-breaking vote, Mayor Standi said the committee should still look into the matter and if a better solution was found, the Council could act ac­ cordingly. The Council also voted to use some of the "traffic control" revenue sharing funds to upgrade Main street, from the railroad tracks to the Crystal Lake blacktop.' The motion was adopted with the understanding that these funds would be replaced with the next revenue sharing allocations. These monies were originally intended for bridge construction in the eastern part of Ward IV (Lakeland park). Voting against the motion was Alderman Wieser. The Council voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance that would retain a 1 percent sales tax on farm machinery - which had been exempted in recent state legislation. Speaking for the McHenry Fire department, Co. I Captain Wayne Amore appeared before the Council to request the use of part of the Green street parking lot for Fire Prevention week demonstrations. Amore reassured the Council that the department, "would not burn on the new asphalt." Fire Prevention week is slated for Oct. 5-11, with an open house Saturday, Oct. 4. Pat Vavrik, representing the Women's 16" Softball league, presented a donation of $200 to the City Council to be used by the Park department. A motion made by Alderman Wieser to recommend that the mayor hire Mrs. Linda Hoven as a full time traffic enforcement person was passed unanimously. Alderman Wieser reported that License committee was presently working on a request from the McHenry- Woodstock Disposal com­ pany for a rate increase of $.75 per month. The Council okayed the purchase of a mimeograph machine for all the depart­ ments from a Rockford firm. The machine will cost $1,303.90. SEPT. 9 MAY BE DECISION DATE FOR TAX LEVY (Continued from page 1) state aid for the next three years. Dr. Andreas warned that this wouldn't necessarily mean a 14 percent increase in revenues because the state aid is based on local resources and student population which means an increase in assessed value can reduce the state aid available if there is not an equivalent increase in students. At the Sept. 9 meeting, Dr. Falkinham plans to insert his latest estimates and projection to be considered into the budget and the board will further discuss fiscal needs and the possibility of the referendum. Dr. Andreas reported that talks with members of the Capital Development board appear encouraging and there is a possibility of financial help to solve a problem with the deep well at the high school. At the instruction of the board, president Bobby Hart, Andreas, Falkinham and an area well driller presented arguments to the CDB that dispelled their suspicions that the problem was a local maintenance fault rather than an equipment failure. The new high school has a deep well designed to serve all of its needs and a back up shallow well normally used for grass watering, etc. When the deep well went out of service last winter, An­ dreas noted, the shallow well was able to serve the needs temporarily. But the deep well is needed. The board accepted the recommendations of the transportation committee not to furnish transportation to three high school students within a subdivision, but instead to have them walk to the pick-up point on the main road to save mileage. The transportation fund is one that is consistently short. The state did okay some money for hazardous area transportation in the mile; and half limit for some younger students, it. WMkt reported. The board also considered possible financing for a computer program involving high school students in connection with jobs and educations. The computer, by using a questionnaire, narrows down job or career choices that fit the student's aptitudes and interests and therf searches' out ap­ propriate schools and em­ ployment possibilities. This serves as an aid in curriculum selection and college planning, it was explained. The problem is financing the computer time since grant funds are drying up, Andreas said. A department head suggested to the board that he might be able to get the needed funds out of a vocational education grant which the board agreed to let him try. The board was advised, however, that they may have to make a fiscal decision if they want to retain this program. Dr. Andreas reported that he was successful in getting a commitment for a grant in the $4,000 to $5,000 range from the Northwest Education cooperative at Arlington Heights in order to bring Bernice McCarthy, a well known consultant, who will hold teacher inservice sessions this fall and during the school year to match learning styles with teaching styles and learning theory concepts.

McHENRY SHORES WILL REMAIN VILLAGE (Continued from page 11 was a well run village that showed efficient and economic operations. The protesting group didn't know all the facts and "they haven't come to me" (before this meeting) Grimes asserted. He predicted with the dissolution and an­ nexation threat past, "it is better this way and we will make it work." Weiler agreed, "It was a fruitful meeting". He said there had been a lack of understanding on both sides. (In earlier meetings) people had been left with no firm knowledge of municipal government. Weiler said Paul had pointed out some areas for improvement in their fiscal operations. For instance, village assets could be placed in the Illinois Municipal fund pool for investing to take advantage of high interest rates. There are available efficiencies in purchasing items and supplies jointly with other small villages. Panerali said that Paul also suggested a number of small villages could jointly hire a village manager to travel to each office (in- circuit rider fashion) to provide professional management part time for the governments. Police forces could be shared where resources limited what protection could be hired. In seeking to spread the benefits of sales tax allocations to local municipalities, fair share legislation had been tried and so far has not been successful, Panerali was told. But Paul said there were other alternatives for the Shores. One is to get some retail businesses in their industrial area, perhaps a shopping center that could pick up some of the business from the south McHenry area. Paul said the state can also assist small communities to attract such businesses. 0 Weiler said, the group was surprised whgn he showed them how small the portion of property tax was that went to the village with the major share going to the school districts. The costs per resident for municipal services was significantly less than for McHenry, but so also was the level of services, Weiler explained. He further predicted that as the services increased to a comparable level, so would the costs. Weiler said that presently the village was spending about $105,000 per year for services which two years previously were costing them $113,000. They had reduced the budget by 7 percent and maintained the same level of service. Weiler claimed that with less spending they were getting the same manpower and an improved quality of service. Weiler indicated that Paul and the auditor were going to meet with city officials again and elaborate on the system suggestions that had been made. In explaining how the Illinois Department of Commerce and community Affairs became involved, Panerali said that he and his group had been looking for professional advice on tow to control their community and its finances and learned that Illinois had this agency which dealt with small communities in a purely advisory capacity but with no official jurisdiction. The process which led to the August meeting was started when his group asked this department to help them explore alternatives for McHenry Shores which would result in better management or dissolution. In this process they learned that their biggest mistake had been to incorporate, although there would be no problems if the conditions were right. But since they were in­ corporated, they should try to make it work, Panerali said. "Our movement shook them up quite a bit. We should now have a more open government."
