COUNCIL DEFERS ACTION ON STREET LIGHTS (Continued From Page 1) fund monies because City Treasurer William Brda was not getting the checks to the board in time. For example, he pointed out that $65,000 of treasury bills came due recently and the money was turned over to the city treasurer so that there is an "audit trail" if ever an audit is made. Rauen explained that the Pension board must then re­ invest the funds but before that can be done, the city treasurer must make out a check paying for the new treasury bills or new investments that the board decides on. "In one case, we contracted for those treasury bills the day they came due. The rate that day was 7.7 percent," Rauen said. "It took almost thirty days to get a check out of the treasurer to compensate for those bills," Rauen em­ phasized, "and by that time, the rate had slipped to 6.8 percent." "We can't operate that way," he declared. Rauen mentioned this was the third time "we have been saddled with this situation." He said right now the Pension board has been waiting almost fifteen days regarding a similar situation. Stanek asked Rauen if City Treasurer Brda was aware of the problem and Rauen said that Ronald Vacula, secretary of the Pension Board, had advised him of it. To control the problem, Stanek instructed City Clerk Terry Wilde to sign her portion of the check when notified by the Pension Board and then hand deliver thetheck to Brda for his signature "when time is of the essence." Alderman George Harker, who was authorized to contact the three financial institutions in McHenry to obtain bids on bonds to construct Well No. 5, announced that McHenry Savings and Loan had sub­ mitted a low bid of 57/s percent. McHenry State Bank and First National Bank of McHenry both sent in bids of 6'2 percent. Harker explained that the original amount of the bond issue was $193,000 with interest thereon of 7 percent. However, after receiving construction bids, it was determined that $150,000 would be sufficient. A new resolution was therefore passed designating McHenry Savings and Loan as purchasers of the Waterworks and Sewage Revenue bonds at an annual interest rate of 57/h percent with an approximate maturity of ten years. Four separate Fire Lane ordinances were passed for the McHenry Market Place, Hornsby's East and West campus and Fox Ridge con­ dominiums. Owners of the property have set up fire lanes and with these ordinances in effect, the city will now have the power to enforce "no parking" restrictions in the fire lanes by issuing tickets. Violators will be subject to fines of no less than $5 and no more than $500. The ordinances are in effect and enforceable three days after they are recorded with the McHenry County Recorder of Deeds and after publication. Harry Dean appeared before the council to bring up a problem he has presented a number of different times over the past three years. The last time was about six months ago when he requested that an ordinance be adopted to regulate the parking of recreational vehicles in residential districts of the city. Dean who lives at 804 N. John street, Country Club sub­ division, has complained about numerous vehicles which arj parked at his next door neigh­ bor's residence which include a large converted school bus, trucks and other vehicles. Six months ago, Mayor Stanek assigned the task of looking into an ordinance regulating recreational vehicle parking to the Plan com­ mission. Dean complained that, to his knowledge, nothing had been done toward a proposed ordinance. Dean expressed his opinion that recreational vehicle licenses have the appearance of a "sacred cow concept" in the city of McHenry at the present time. He stressed that he had nothing against recreational vehicles properly controlled. Dean argued that "None of us, if we had the room or the space or the money, could put up a single or double garage because it is illegal. But anyone in the city can move onto that lot, an 8 foot by 40 foot recreational vehicle, park it FORMAL WEAR RENTAL for ALL OCCASIONS 1214 N. Green St.. fllcHenry wherever they want to and leave it there as long as they want to," he Contended. "They can also move in campers, boats, automobiles, etc., and there is no law against it,"»he said. Dean cited another example, a freight truck cannot be parked on residential property "but I can take the same truck, with the same dimensions, the same size, same weight; drive it into my driveway, put a recreational vehicle license on it, put a refrigerator, stove and cot into it and I am legal." "It just doesn't make sense," he declared, Alderman Edward Datz, chairman of the Plan com­ mission, advised the Plan commission had discussed the matter at four meetings and had talked about several ideas but "could find no firm ground on which we could operate." He said he couldn't deny Dean had an unique situation on his hands but it was difficult to establish an ordinance which would handle one situation only. "We have to be all inclusive," Datz emphasized. "What af­ fects one is going to affect many people in the city," he said. He felt that "for every situation we may correct, we are going to offset some other desirable situation." A teen-age member of the John Barry family who lives next door to Dean, asked for permission to address the council. He said he felt he had a solution to Dean's problem. "If Mr. Dean would come over and ask my father if he would move the bus, I think he would," he said. "Just come over and ask because it never hurts to ask, and I am pretty sure he will move it." He mentioned that Dean said he had been working on this problem for five years "but he has never come over and we are right there", the boy concluded. Dean commented. "The problem is not that narrow, it is on a long term basis," he said. Stanek concluded the debate by instructing the Plan com­ mission to return with a recommendation on a recreational vehicle ordinance by Dec. 8 or wash its hands of it and he would proceed from there. On a happier note, Alderman Pepping reported the city Halloween party sponsored in cooperation with several civic organizations was a "smashing success". About 500 youngsters attended the evening's en­ tertainment. Contributing to the success of the party were the following organizations: Jaycees, Jaycee Auxiliary, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and Lions clubs. The clerk's report read by City Clerk Wilde indicated tax money had been received into the general fund in the amount of $151,000. Balance on hand as of Nov. 1 was $247,569.38. The first payment agreed upon by the council was the repayment of $75,000 in tax anticipation warrants which had been obtained ninety days ago to bolster the general fund until real estate tax money was received. Mrs. Hromec asked that two matters be handled by the proper committees: 1. amending the fence ordinance and 2. the possibility of passing an ordinance which would make it mandatory that all property abutting state routes be required to furnish sidewalks. Mayor Stanek instructed Aldermen Harker, Hromec and Pepping to work on the fence ordinance. The street and sidewalk committee was ad vised to investigate the sidewalk situation. Stanek reported tha t le t te rs had been sent to various civic organizations and city businesses seeking con­ tributions for the development of Petersen Park. He men­ t ioned that Brookwood Gardens had donated e ighteen t rees to the park which were gra tefu l ly accepted for the park project. The next meet ing of the Ci ty Counci l wi l l be held Monday.

The capital outlay was estimated at bet­ ween $25,000 and $37,000 Prior to this discussion, Duane Gamble, director of the McHenry county area Career center, gave a film presen­ tation on the center. Gamble acknowledged that the decision of the bonding firm of Chapman and Cutler not to risk bond sales because of the creation of a new unit school district leaves a decided question mark as to the referendum date. However, he said another bonding firm is studying the matter. The center director said even if the second firm believes the bond sales to be legal, the referendum could not be held until March or April. If this firm decides as Chapman and Cutler did, the vote would need to be postponed until Sep­ tember or October of 1976. Although there is some question as to the availability of money from the state with the postponement. Gamble said he understands an extension of time may be asked. If the district involved is sincere in its effort to bring the matter before the voters, it could be expected to be granted. When Gamble had concluded his presentation. Board President James Althoff reiterated his opposition to a "fancy building" for the center. In answer, the director ex­ plained that by the time the life safety code and other state standards are met, there would he little savings by using an old bui ld ing . Catnble asserted that people think a junior college should take care of the needs in the area of careers. Then he continued to explain that the training is vastly different in a college and a career center. The latter, he emphasized, is to teach trades but not to specia l ize . Gamble pointed to the 4,000 McHenry Junior college graduates, of which only 220 are graduates in the trades area. These people, he said, can advance and specialize, whereas Career center enrollees will learn only the tundamentals designed to prepare them for work in the trades upon graduation.
