PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1974 POSTPONE LANDFILL DECISION (Continued from page 1) developing the land site. Kelly McClain of the McHen- §County * Plan commission .tantiated that statement n he told members the state u^uld assist in many ways. He presented charts that described the various methods of deposing of waste, such as landfill, incinerator and shredding. ;District 3 Member Ray lVfurphy noted that the state aHows 6 per cent to finance the unpaid balance on land but he said the sellers wanted 10 per e$nt interest. He added that they increased the land price to make up the difference. ."Since only half of the board had received the landfill report before 9:30 Tuesday morning. Murphy moved to table the njatter until the January meeting. .'The zoning problem con­ cerned a request to change the zoning of Dusty's Pizzeria at Wonder Lake from "B-l" to "B 2,' to allow the sale of wine and tjeer. Approval was recom­ mended by the Zoning Board of Appeals. However, a petition vfas signed by 20 per cent of the property owners in the area, protesting the change. »The petitioners then Presented an amending or-inance Tuesday morning which the board felt it did not Have sufficient time to study. Therefore, it was necessary to summon Judge Smith, who tieads the Zoning Board of Appeals, to approve the ^mending ordinance. i The fact that 20 per cent of Residents in the neighborhood protested the proposed change, tew requires a 75 per cent favorable vote of the entire £ounty board to pass. A vote yas taken on which twenty voted not tograntthe request, ine voted in favor and three passed. Thomas Huemann cast £he favorable vote. » Committee appointments Jvere announced during the meeting. * Chairman Walter Dean heads the Public Aid committee and £lso represents the board on tiie Urban County council and the Urban County Problems Council. ? Edward Buss of McHenry is Chairman of the Transportation committee, vice-chairman of Public Safety and serves on the ^Special Zoning committee. J Thomas Huemann heads the {Courthouse Operations com- jmittee, vice-chairman of the |Planning and Zoning and ijserves as a member of the /Purchase and Insurance •committee.

VOICE OBJECTION TO ZONING CASE RULING OF CITY (Continued from page 1) are worse drivers," Consago emphasized. "James street is one of the most off-beat streets that we have for residential in the city," Consago said. He noted that school busses use the area for parking, and there are numerous apartment buildings on the street. "Nobody can tell me that two more cars on James street is going to effect the city of McHenry," he argued. He defended his business reputation by saying that he felt he had proven himself in the county and city by the fine subdivisions and fine buildings he has constructed in the past Consago told aldermen he was not appearing at the meeting for himself but to alert people who will appear in the future at zoning hearings. "When people are going to come to the zoning board and perjure themselves, it's time something is done." he warned. Following his appearance, Alderman Edward Datz said. "I appreciate his remarks and I think he speaks with some wisdom." The Council voted unanimously to uphold the zoning board's recom­ mendation to deny Consago's petition. Approval was given to reclassify property located at 4409 W. Route 120 from R-2 one family residence district to B-l commercial district. Petitioners were Edward J. Neumann, Jr., and George Pulos. The property is situated just east of McDonald's and across the road from the Market Place shopping center. Earl Murray, chairman of the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners, reported to the Council on the happenings at the Dec. 6 meeting of that board. He noted that following an hour's deliberation in executive session, the board voted 2 to 1 to drop the appeal in Appellate court and to reinstate Duane Lange to the police department. In answer to a question Board Member George Hubbard suggested that perhaps Murphy could remain on the board if he abstained from voting on the issue of designating depositories. However, Murphy said there was no possible way, and he asked for a vote on his resignation. Mrs. Walgenbach pointed out that she could not be respon­ sible for more than the $100,000 of her bond. She said the action on designation of financial institutions would need to come from the board, which would then accept responsibility. After more discussion, Murphy was asked to remain in office one more month to determine if some other form of insurance might be available which would allow the county to pay the difference between the $100,000 bond of the treasurer and what would be needed for further protection. A report of the Valley-Hi committee disclosed ninety-two patients and thirty-nine on the waiting list. A committee will be named to recommend a plan to alleviate crowded conditions and care for those in need. Harley Mackeben of Huntley, Ernest Bates of Woodstock and Earl Schultz of Marengo were appointed to the McHenry County Regional Planning committee, to serve until Dec. 1, 1977. This action was held over from the first December meeting. Phyllis A. Koeppel of Algonquin was named to replace Kenneth Winterscheid for a five-year term to Sep­ tember, 1979, on the County Zoning Board of Appeals, and Alex B. Sharpe of Woodstock, replacing Mona Reynolds, to fill her term to September, 1977. presented at a previous com­ mission meeting, Murray said that statutes prohibit the reinstatement of a police of­ ficer once his resignation has been accepted by the board. The question arose as to whether Sgt. Gregory Bliznick could come back to the local department after his resignation had been accepted. Bliznick announced at that meeting he would not come back to the department at the present time. Approval was given to pay Officer Duane Lange the amount of back pay due him as per a court order by Judge Richard Kelly. Lange was reinstated in November to the police department as a patrolman after having been discharged in January of this year The amount due him in terms of lost income was $4,629.58. This is figured by taking into consideration what he would have earned in that period of time minus what he earned from other employment during that period City Attorney Bernard Narusis informed the Council that he and Police Chief Kenneth Espey, along with his committee on proposed rules and regulations, had conducted (wo meetings in an effort to iron out legal technicalities regarding new rules for the police department. Their findings will be presented to the Police com­ mittee and then to the Council for final approval, hopefully at the Dec. 30 meeting. The question of who should appoint a detective for the police department will be discussed at the next Police committee meeting Thursday, Dec. 26, at 6:30p.m. in city hall. Two different legal opinions have been obtained. One states the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners should handle the matter and the other says the chief of police should make the appointment. Only one company submitted a bid on supplying gasoline to the city for the coming calendar year. That was Hester Oil company of McHenry. The Council accepted that bid which listed leaded octane at 46.4 cents, unleaded regular at 48.4 cents and unleaded premium at 49.4 cents. Supt. Meyer reported that he had received a letter of resignation from Jerome Sharp of McHenry effective Dec. 20. Sharp has been employed -by the city to repair parking meters. A member of the. Public Works department will take over that job until a new repair man is found. City Clerk Earl Walsh read a notification from the county informing the Council that a zoning hearing will be held Feb. 13 regarding a request by Leo and Evelyn Diedrich of Chapel Hill road and Material Service corporation for a zoning change from "F" farming to a con­ ditional use for operation of a gravel pit. The law states the city must be notified of any zoning hearings concerning property within a mile and a half of the city limits. The matter was referred to Alderman Edward Datz, chairman of the City of McHenry Plan commission, for its consideration. A Class "H" liquor license was approved for operation of a Pizza Hut on Route 120. The licensee is James F Place of Waukegan. City Attorney Narusis was instructed to remove the property of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bowlin from the special assessment roll in Lakeland Park. The Bowlin residence is outride the city limits and was placed on the roll by mistake. Authorization was given by the Council to pay the following bills: sewer plant bonds, $61,009; storm sewer bonds, $6,648 and $17,181 to Jos. Frett & Sons for the first payment on the city hall addition. Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer announced that D. Eugene Hester had passed his examination and was now WHIfEWALL STUDDED BATTERIES TIRE MART 3931 W. MAIN McHENRY 385-0294 HIGH SCHOOL DELAYS CAREER CENTER VOTE (Continued from page 1) possible," Althoff observed. "I don't know whether we can afford the program at this time". The board president hastened to say that he does feel the center is a good idea. Member James Tonyan told the board he had toured a center last Monday and was highly impressed by the in­ terest expressed by students. To a question by a visitor to the meeting, Althoff said the tax rate would be expected to increase about $20 on a home valued at $20,000 if the plan should be approved. Supt . Swantz said the $600,000 listed as the share of District 156 was only an estimate, not a maximum. Other questions related to the problems that might result if Johnsburg should withdraw from the district, taking 25 per cent of the bonding power. Members were assured that a new school would need to assume its share in the project. Further discussion resulted in a decision to delay a vote on an agreement resolution until next month. Several administrative reports were made. One con­ cerned the release of copies of a recently developed planning device bringing members up to date on present and future plans for District 156. It in­ cluded a request to employ an architect for advice on various school needs. Althoff interjected at this point to ask how an architect could be employed when there are so many unanswered questions about the future of schools within the district. He pointed especially to the Johnsburg question and to the undetermined use of East campus in the future. Thomas Joynt, assistant superintendent, stated his opinion that in spite of decisions still to be made, it is necessary to plan ahead. The request of Donald Blume for a sabbatical leave for the 1975-76 school year to finish residency requirement of his doctoral degree was accepted. One dissenting vote was cast by Edward Neumann. Neumann noted that Blume has taught in the local system sixteen years. He said salary increases are granted to retain good teachers. Neumann believes that in granting leaves, experienced teachers are lost to the system and the school most often acquires beginning teachers as replacements. He added that classified as a Class 4 Sewer Operator. His salary will be adjusted to compensate for the job advancement. Meyer was given approval to purchase eight new parking meters as per his request. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Council will be held Dec. 30 at 8 p.m. POSTMASTER SAYS IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR CARDS (Continued from page 1) "Most local residents already have mailed for Christmas", he said, "However, those who haven't should do so as soon as possible. Our goal is to have all mail available up to normal cut-off time Tuesday, Dec. 24 distributed and delivered that day." To help speed the mail along its way, Postmaster Smith urged all to provide an ac­ curate and legible address, including the zip code. REPORTTHEFT Charles Fritzsche of 601 Columbus, McHenry, reported that sometime Saturday night, his building had been entered by prying open the doors. Taken from the premises was approximately $386 in cash. Investigation is continuing. usually when the teacher returns after a leave, he remains only a couple of years. Teachers on sabbatical leave receive half of their regular salary. Neumann said he un­ derstands the reason for the request, but feels it would be better to resign since the present system costs the school money for less experienced personnel. -- Announcement was made that the district will receive a private grant in the amount of $47,098 from a trust ad­ ministered by the Continental bank of Chicago. The proposed project was submitted by the McHenry school district and approved. It calls for off-campus facilities for drop-outs who have signified a desire to return to their studies, and others at East campus who are above the normal freshman-sophomore age and might progress better in other than a regular classroom atmosphere. A different type educational program will be offered these students. Teacher salaries, equipment and rental will be included among items covered by the grant. Target goal for the first year, which begins in the fall of 1975, is thirty students. If the program is successful, the local school district may apply for a grant for a second year. A motion was passed to adopt the Equal Employment Op­ portunity clause into school board policy as required by the Illinois Fair Employment Practices commission as a term of all public contracts. The resignation of Herbert Brin, Special Education in­ structor at West campus, was accepted. Mr. Brin will con­ tinue his graduate work. Replacing him will be Kim A. Hagen.
