/ COACHES, BOARD SPLIT ON ATHLETIC .CODE PROVISIONS (Continued from page 1) most of the coaches are not even in favor of the reduced penalty under the new code. Although they would prefer the same disciplinary action as in the past, they expressed themselves as opposed to further concessions. At this point, Member Phillip Bartmann spoke up to say, "When school is out we aren't accountable for the students until September. I believe the code should be amended to re&d nine months". W h e n B l a n k e n h o r n questioned how athletes could come out for practice Aug. 18 with the summer ban on disciplinary action, Bartmann responded that this was not the intent of his request. He said he would restate his position. However, none was for­ thcoming. Head Basketball Coach Kenneth Ludwig said, "We believe athletes have higher moral values than some others. Now you want us to lower these values". When the vote was finally taken on Barmann's amended code to exclude summer disciplinary action, he was supported in affirmative votes bv Edward Neumann. James Tonyan and Dave Benrud. Althoff, Mrs. Catherine Alvary and Donald Arvidson voted against the amendment. After the vote and further discussion-, Supt. Swantz said he was surprised by the out­ come. In an attempt to try to satisfy, to some extent, the coaches' views and those of the majority on the board, he agreed to try to rewrite provisions for presentation at a future meeting. Resignations were accepted from Stan Olszewski, counselor at East campus, and William Noyes, assistant swim coach. However, Mr. Noyes will remain as an Industrial Arts teacher. Action was taken to approve the appointment of Clyde Leonard, director-teacher of the Off-Campus Alternative high school, effective July 1, at a salary of $15,300. In ap­ proving the twelve-month contract, the board and ad­ ministrators recognized that funding beyond the first year was uncertain. Dick Glawe was appointed new director of transportation. He comes to McHenry from the position of transportation maintenance director for Palatine high school. In that capacity he oversees the maintenance of ninety buses and other district vehicles. When introduced to the board, Glawe said he hopes to be able to save money for the schools. He believes this can be done through the maintenance department District 15 and 156 are planning to establish. After some discussion, the board approved adoption of the student government con­ stitution at East campus. Gary Fields, principal at that school, said the aim of the constitution is to get students involved in the governing process and thus realize fewer problems. Fields said administrators will set forth regular rules at the start of the Fall term, after which students can make suggestions. Althoff commented that he didn't know how a freshman would have any ideas about curriculum without experience. But Fields said he knew some students who could provide good input to such a con­ stitution, which he endorsed. The constitution approval was given for the first quarter of next year. After Nov. 3, the matter will need to cpme before the board if the administration wishes that it be reinstated. Membership renewal in the Illinois High Sehool association was approved at a cost of $25 for the year. This guarantees participation in interscholastic competition. , 4 Bids were accepted for numerous items. Runge Paper Co., B.A. Railton, Burlington Wholesale and Edward Don were approved to supply non­ food cafeteria supplies at a cost for both campuses of $3,375.99. For custodial supplies, eight companies were recom­ mended, seven of which were approved by the board. The wax bid was left open until further information can be obtained concerning local firms. The superintendent's report listed a 1975-76 budget for girls athletics at $2,254.95. The report explained that although this is an increase of 97 per cent over the 1974-75 budget of $1,143.80, the total athletic budget figure has not in­ creased. Bill Dodds spoke briefly concerning the advanced Summer School program for 1975, which will include some new courses. He noted that transportation may need to be undertaken on a fee basis. - The firm of Anderson, JRedher and Yandre, Waukegan, was employed to provide life safety conditions at East campus. In approving the firm, Mrs. Alvary noted that in recent visits to schools in affluent areas, she was surprised at the deplorable conditions of the buildings. The board member said she found the condition of McHenry schools much superior to most of those visited. She said she would like the opportunity to congratulate local students. LIBRARY PLANS ARE PRESENTED (Continued from page 1) regular real estate mortgage," Narusis explaiend. Bolger emphasized that the Library board is only levying a little over one-half of its allowable tax rate now. "If we can pick up the first year out of revenue sharing and then when the Police Pension funding is dropped, we can fit into that slot, things would work out beautifully," Bolger said. Narusis indicated that the Library board would have to present a resolution to the Council for approval indicating the method of financing it decided upon. In connection with the ad­ dition, Fred Meyer was authorized to have a survey made of the library property to determine exact boundary lines. Alderman Jack Pepping, chairman of the Finance committee, presented a salary schedule for sergeants, lieutenants and the chief of police. A salary schedule for patrolmen and other city employees was approved at the May 5 meeting but Sgts. Daniel Kinnerk and Robert Mickelsen asked the Finance committee to revise their proposed salaries. Upon recommendation of the Finance committee, the Council approved the proposed salary schedule which is based on a five-year pay step plan. A sergeant's pay starts at $13,000 per year with pay raises of $400 per year through a five- year period to a maximum of $15,000. A lieutenant's salary starts at $15,000 per year with similar $400 yearly raises up to a maximum of $17,000. On a Finance committee recommendation, the Council agreed that the salary of the chief of police should be established by the City Council WJH OPEN FOR SPRING! -4 • STRAWBERRY PLANTS ASPARAGUS ROOTS ONION PLANTS & SETS VEGETABLE & FLOWER PLANTS BLACK DIRT PEAT MOSS ROSE BUSHES DECORATIVE MARBLE '550 50 LB.

The chief's salary for the coming year was set at $17,880. R e g a r d i n g o v e r t i m e regulations, it was decided that compensatory time off will be given in lieu of overtime pay for officers below the rank of lieutenant. The time off will be scheduled during the ap­ propriate current pay period. If it is impossible to do so, overtime shall be paid. The chief and lieutenant are not eligible for overtime. ^ Alderman Ed Datz, also on the Finance committee, said it was his opinion that the salary expenditure for overtime on the police department is "ab­ solutely ridiculous". It was his opinion that "with the top- heavy police force we have now", there was no reason men couldn't^ be given com­ pensatory time off for any extra hours they are called upon to work. Pepping reported that Chief Espey is now making quarterly reports to the Finance com­ mittee on overtime "by in­ dividual, by reason". He felt this would allow the Finance committee to keep an eye on the situation. Pepping also stated his committee did not see annual adjustments continuing on these salaries. He said no in­ dustry negotiates on a one-year basis and the city does not intend to do so. Any future adjustments that would be made would probably be only in terms of resolving inequities in the structure of the pay, he stressed. Stanek remarked that he hoped policemen were aware that they were getting a sizable increase because as of July 1, 1975, their work-week was being cut from 44 to 40 hours with no decrease in pay. He hoped that the expectation of an annual increase instead of the normal salary pay step would stop. A lengthy discussion was held in regard to setting proposed amounts for the annual ap­ propriation ordinance for 1975- 76. City Auditor William North reviewed the proposed or­ dinance with aldermen who suggested various revisions. North explained that the appropriation ordinance gives the Council "authority to spend money if you have it." No money can be spent unless it has been appropriated for that year, he said. When some aldermen ex­ pressed confusion, North said, "I am very much afraid you are confusing municipal fun­ ding with logic." He said the appropriation ordinance was useless but it is a legal requirement and must be filed. Aldermen were instructed to study the proposed ordinance. It will be brought up for ap­ proval at a future meeting. North cautioned the Council that it would have to watch spending this year. He said it had been his firm's experience that generally, the state income tax has gone down this year as well as sales. Since such a large part of the city's revenue comes from these sources, "I am afraid your revenue js going to decrease and your reserves are below what they were last year at this time," North warned. A letter of resignation was read by Mayor Stanek from tlames J. Blum of the Board of Police and Fire Com­ missioners. He stated that the press of his other commitments has grown to be too much and he is not able to continue on the board. As his replacement, Stanek nominated Peter A. Adams of 3520 W. Washington street, McHenry. He is a lifelong resident of McHenry county and resided in Richmond for thirty-seven years before moving to McHenry. He served as a motorcycle officer at Rich­ mond as well as justice of the peace and police magistrate in that community. Adams has lived in McHenry for two years. The Council approved the nomination unanimously. The following actions were also approved by the Council: Purchase of a 1975 Chevrolet station wagon for Supt. Fred Meyer of the Public Works department at an approximate cost of $3,680; appointment of Lillian Waller as deputy city clerk as per the recom­ mendation of City Clerk Terry Wilde; purchase of tools for the Public Works department at a cost of $223.10; agreement with Bob Freund's city band for the summer concerts in the park, and an agreement with McHenry Disposal for the collection of junk on clean-up days in June. Lewis Belshaw and Clare Hearle approached the Council in regard to permission to conduct a tag day for Lions club Candy day in October. They were notified by Alderman James Wegener, chairman of the License committee, that the Council had designated only one tag day a month would be allowed in the business districts this year. Many aldermen felt the one tag day a month was too restrictive. They felt many worthwhile organizations were being penalized by this restriction. Some suggested making a change. Wegener replied that changing the or­ dinance in the "middle of the stream" would be unfair to those organizations that had been turned down earlier. The License committee told the Lions club they had con­ tacted the Girl Scouts, who normally hold their tag day in October. The committee was awaiting a reply from them regarding a date. Wegener promised to get in touch with the Lions club as soon as matters could be worked out. The Salvation Army was granted permission to hold a Doughnut Tag day June 6. Harold Steffan, chairman of the Salvation Army service unit in McHenry, made the request. Approval was given to transfer St. Regis liquor license to Gerald D. Schmolke, the new owner of the business. Alderman Harker, chairman of the Streets and Sidewalks committee, announced that a meeting of that committee will be held Thursday, May 22, at 7 p.m. The next regular meeting of the Council is scheduled for Monday, June 2, at 8 p.m. AID OFFICE CLOSED In observance of Memorial day, the office of the McHenry County Department of Public Aid, 225 W. Judd, Woodstock, will be closed Friday, May 30.

CHARGES AGAINST DRIVER MULTIPLY AS HE SPEEDS AWAY (Continued from page 1) entered his vehicle and sped away. He was pursued to his residence, where he got out of his car and ignored the efforts of deputies to stop him as he attempted to enter his residence shouting profanities. Deputy Ed Fair approached Grogan, who attempted to strike the arresting officer and a struggle took place. Grogan was arrested for aggravated battery, resisting arrest, speeding and violation of restriction. MONEY TAKEN IN BURGLARY OF RESTAURANT (Continued from page 1) car. The vehicle was not otherwise damaged. , Deputies were called Sunday morning to investigate the theft of five flats of cactus plants which had been taken from the rear of the home of Agnes Sislo at 4808 E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. A search of the area revealed the plants had been abandoned on a path east of Winnebago drive, Wonder Lake. During the investigation, detectives developed in­ formation which led to the identity of the three juvenile offenders. All have been referred to juvenile authorities in connection with the theft. Warren Bornhoeft of 923 Rolling lane, McHenry, in­ formed authorities that sometime early Friday mor­ ning, offenders had applied a paint stripper solution to the interior and exterior of his sail boat. He succeeded in washing it off but not before it had damaged the boat to the extent it would have to be repainted. Douglas Ohrwall of 711 S.
