PAGE 14 $4,854 TO CITY IN STATE TAX (Continued from page 1) Crystal Lake with $10,144.25 PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY 3,1975 insurance premium. He also noted that the center would not be open during "school hours, would close thir ty minutes before curfew, anci^would be locked when not open. - Alderman Datz said he was primarily concerned with f ire safety in the building. He suggested that Fire Chief Glenn Peterson set up standards as to the maximum number of persons who could safely oc­ cupy the building at one t ime. He stressed that these regulat ions be str ict ly en- Lake with and Woodstock with $6,463.65. Other local distr ibutions were as follows:- Sunnyside, $231.97; Spring Grove, $219 %; Richmond, $738.78; McHenry Shdres, $535.37; Lakemoor, $503.76 and McCullom Lake, $551.80. County government received $27,668.03. Together with the $42,078.09 for the incorporated - forced, total , the distr ibution in county was McHenry $69,746.12. " GRANT SPECIAL USE FOR CENTER continued from page 1) money and a pool table had been made, tradesmen have offered their services to prepare a facil i ty, adults have offered to serve as chaperones and some businessmen offered paint and materials for such a center . Pepping also related that -one gentleman in the community has even offered to serve as the director at no fee. "The crux of the whole matter is to man a facil i ty", said Pepping. "The organization must have a place to meet," he stressed. Pepping expressed the opinion that Youth, Inc. , is a responsible organization and members are will ing to work hard and conduct themselves in a responsible manner to gain this youth center . "They recognize that discipline and responsibil i ty wil l be required of them if they want to use this temporary facil i ty," Pepping said. While addressing the Council , Pepping turned and pointed to approximately twenty-five young persons who were in at tendance at the meeting. He said these young people do not have the at t i tude of "what have you done for me lately?" syndrome. He argued they did not want anything "handed to them on a plat ter ." Alderman Will iam Bolger, who is also president of the Library board, said that a group of people from Youth, Inc. , appeared before the Library board regarding matter . He fel t they understood the tremendous responsibil i ty of undertaking such a project . "They will have to police i t , have their own rules of conduct and respect the r ights of » property owners in the area," Bolger said. The Youth organization would be given a lease to the Schreiner home on a month to month basis . Bolger fel t that with al l the restr ict ions im­ posed and with the t ime limitat ions on the lease, " i t would be a cruel thing if the special use were not al lowed." "As president of the Library board, I warned them that if there were serious problems, the center would be closed fhe next day and they understand that ," Bolger stressed. Bolger concluded by saying that if the Council didn' t give Youth, Inc. , the chance to use the building, " then we are not being aware of needs in the ci ty." Pepping noted that the Zoning board gave con­ sideration to three things - noise, act ivi ty and parking. As for parking, he said that East campus officials had agreed in writ ing to al low parking facil i t ies at the school for use by the youth center members. Regarding noise and activi ty, Pepping said the young people recognize i t is a residential area. It was Pepping's opinion that the youth center would not create any more noise and activi ty than that which emanates from traffic at the l ibrary. The property in question is located in the second ward, which is represented on the Council by Aldermen Howard and Wegener. Both objected to al lowing the special use permit . „ : Wegener stressed that he was not against youth but he was against that location as the si te of a recreation center . "I can see nothing but problems with noise and parking at that location," he said Wegener also , pointed out that with eighty members presently in the organization, the house is much too small . V'W.h^ifcif another grotfp pops ^555j^iwd, deciaes i t , wants '* the > 5^anie -facil i t ies?" Wegener asked. Pepping said he thought the ult imate solution would be a community center for al l the youth of the ci ty. However, he didn' t think the ci ty was in a posit ion at the present t ime to "bite that bullet" . Howard pointed out that he also was not against youth, but he fel t that the people who l ived in that area and are ret ired should be given consideration since al l of them objected strongly to al lowing the youth B center in their neighborhood Alderman Harker expressed cpncern regarding fire and l iabil i ty insurance, hours of operation and if the facil i ty would be locked when not in operation. Pepping replied that Youth, Inc. . would pay any addit ional Alderman Rogers said he was not against using the building as a youth center because he fel t there were enough safeguards buil t into the lease to take care of any problem^ that might arise. "I t is the least desirable place in town for a youth center but unfortunately i t is the only place available," Rogers commented. Alderman Bolger noted that the Library board is planning to construct an addit ion on the west s ide of the present l ibrary building. When that s tarts , the Schreiner property would be needed immediately for parking and the home would be removed from the premises, he said Tentative plans call for this to take place this summer. This means the home would only be available to lease for a period of from six to nine months, Bolger pointed out . "The key to this whole thing is that i t is a temporary facil i ty," Bolger s tressed. After Council approval was granted for the special use permit , Fred Bienapfl , objector to the peti t ion who resides on Green street , asked to address the Council . "On the night of the Zoning board hearing, Chairman Fred Lamb asked specifically if Mr. Bolger and Mr. Pepping would disqualify themselves from voting at the Council meeting on this matter and they both answered in the affirmative," Bienapfl ^emphasized. "I just wanted the Council to be aware of what they said," he pointed out . Bolger replied that he had said he would seek legal counsel on the matter and after having discussed i t , found there would be no reason to disquali ty himself from voting. Pepping said that in order to avoid a confl ict of interest issue, he, had resigned his posit ion as a director of Youth, Inc. , and therefore had voted on the matter . In other business, Chief of Police Kenneth Espey reported that his department is short two squad cars. New squad car replacements were to be delivered by Payton Chevrolet on Dec. 2. They were ordered two months ago. According to Espey, the department had five squad cars at the beginning and traded two, expecting them to be replaced immediately with new cars. Alderman Harker, of the Purchasing committee, said Payton promised fai thfully to have the cars delivered im­ mediately. Harker said he was not implying that i t was done in bad fai th on the part of Payton because he is " in a bind wait ing for the cars to come from the factory". He pointed out that "we have never had this trouble before" and wondered what action could be taken. Mayor Stanek authorized Alderman Wegener, chairman of the Purchasing- committee, to contact Payton and see what could be done to expedite delivery. Mayor Stanek also instructed Chief Espey to make use of the meter maid's car when he fel t i t was* necessary. Alderman Pepping reported on a recent meeting of the Police committee. He pointed* out that t ime and a half wages for public safety employt^- under the new law which goes into effect Jan. 1, 1975, only applies to overt ime in excess of 240 hours a month or 60 hours a week: McHenry policemen now work a 44-hour week. Copies of proposed Rules and Regulations for the City of McHenry Police department were given to each alderman for his s tudy. Approval of these rules wil l be submitted to the Council at i ts Jan. 6 meeting. _ A question was raised at the committee meeting in terms of the jurisdict ion of the chief of police versus jurisdict ion of the board of Fire and Police Commissioners to assign someone as a detective in the department. The chief fel t this was just another assignment of people in his department but the commission thought the Council had approved a detective posit ion at a previous meeting which the commission was to fi l l •\ To clarify the matter , a motion was passed which stated that the Council did not create the posit ion of detective. The only things approved were specifications for uniformity of equipment and motor vehicles and the hir ing of four addit ional police officers. Alderman Howard com­ mented on the beautiful Christmas* display* ir j the ci ty parK this year. However, he expressed dismay at the vandalism that has occurred in the park. Alnlost $400 worth of l ight hulbs 'have been fsto!en or broken in the display at the band shell this season, he said. Supt. Fred Meyer said that someone^had even gone'on the roof of the band shell and cleaned tiff the trees there. He said that next year, the ci ty wil l have to go a '"different rout£" and use other decorations but no l ights wil l go up in the-park display. Since it haf; been announced that revenue sharing will end in 1976, Mayor Stanek suggested the Council send a resolution to Congressmen and Senators urging them to look favorably on extension of Revenue Sharing beyond 1976. The Council agreed unanimously. Payment was approved to Lakeland Construction for $6,861 87 and to Baxter and Woodman for $950 in connection with Lil l ian street im/ provements. Mayor Stanek read a let ter from McHenry businessman. Virgil Pollock expressing his appreciat ion to the McHenry Police department for their excellent service to the ci ty during the past year Ji ince no gif ts could be accepted by the department. Pollock wished to publicly thank each member of the department for their goo^l work. Pollock also stated he had been in business for many years in McHenry and "I haVe never been solici ted by the Police department for anything." Alderman Bolger informed the Council that on Jan. 24, a meeting of the Fox River Chain of Lakes Study commission will be held at ci ty hall at 1:30 p.m. The commission consists of s ix members from each poli t ical party who were appointed by the State Senate to try to al leviate f looding condit ions and clean up the lakes and river. Bolger, who was elected vice-chairman of the com­ mission was appointed by Legislator Cecil Partee. Bolger uged Council members and all interested persons to at tend the meeting. The next meeting of the City Council is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 6, at 8 p.m. MUSIN" AND MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) serve in rescue and other work for the benefi t of the public - we are grateful .

The help given us by the Public Aid department through your office was very important to us. The green card, which continued after we were on Social Securi ty, and food stamps also were very important . Now we take that big step to set out once again on our own and it is scary.

Phone 385-8630 OPEN TODAY - NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY The Snow Master is small and l ight enough for almost anyone to handle, yet rugged enough to stand up to the high engineering standards Toro sets. Its durability is due to its aluminum and high- impact plastic construction--both materials being lightweight, virtually nonbreakahle. and rust and corrosion-free. • „ The new Snow Master has a clearing swath 20 inches wide, vet weighs only 32 pounds. It can clean porches quickly and steps in one swipe. To appreciate the kind of big snow job the Snow Master can handle, all you have to do is see it in action. It can throw 300 pounds of snow a minute. That means in only 15 minutes, it can clear 4 inches of snow from a 50-foot driveway. In heavy-snow areas you can use the Snow Master for steps and walks, as an addition to the big two- stage snowthrowers. In medium-snow areas, depending on the area you have to clear, the Snow Master might be all you'll need. For light snow, the Snow Master is ideal. If your health and age make shoveling dangerous, it could be indispensable. The Snow Master is probably the most versatile snow-thrower on the market.
