PAGE 15 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1976 MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) . dedicated only to a sincere desire to retain a link with McHenry's early history in the belief that it can be tied closely and effectively with the history of tomorrow. At no time has she agreed to give up her effort and this is much to her credit Incidentally, we are highly doubtful that the feeble efforts at appeasement of bridge supporters, emanating from the McHenry County board meeting Tuesday, will be greeted with any great en­ thusiasm. Dismantling the old landmark and distributing it to various conservation areas may sound like a compromise to some. But to those who had their own dream of the structure as an integral part of the scheme of tomorrow's planning in McHenry, it could just as well be forgotten. K A F LIONS PANCAKE DAY TO AID COMMUNITY (Continued from jttge 1) a m.

COUNTY SEALS FATE OF BRIDGE (Continued from page 1) funds. (The Public Safety committee had asked a resolution committing the County board to say .that all monies received by the sheriff from the referendum which, if passed in November, would permit the hiring of certain additional personnel and purchase of cars.) Hubbard, in response, referred to an earlier promise by the board to set up salary grades and steps for the sheriff's department that would bring up their salaries com­ parable to other large police departments in the county. He said the promised automatic increases didn't occur last year. Hubbard noted they couldn't commit the future board, but the resolution would have a moral effect. And it would remove the objection by some taxpayers that the new tax money would just get into the general fund. Chairman Dean explained that the resolution would ad­ dress the problem of the County board reducing the use of regular county funds to offset any additional monies generated by the new sheriff tax for the sheriff's office. Dean noted that more employees in the sheriff's office could also increase the needs of the state's attorney's office and the courts. A1 Collins recounted that the board had two alternatives open when the referendum was authorized: a tax for the unincorporated areas only, or a tax for the whole county, the latter which was presented to the board for action. He said the board was not consulted on which choice they would vote on. He believed that leadership for the referendum should come from those who made the "countywide" choice. Sheriff Art Tyrrell, when challenged by the County board members about the deceptive story protested "There was no intent to deceive. The matter of the .10 rate versus the .15 rate never came up. The intention is to levy what would be t-equired, not the full amount." Dean suggested they should hold the matter until the Oct. 12 meeting and get written in­ formation regarding the referendum needs. Hubbard said he expected the sheriff would request six more patrolmen and two cars for use in the unincorporated areas, but he didn't know if this would be approved. He wanted an answer from the Finance committee. Klemm, Finance committee chairman, said he didn't know what the impact of this request would be on the total budget and didn't know if they could oget it in. He noted the sheriff had withdrawn his original budget presentation and had not turned it back in. If it is approved and the referendum is passed, the board could then strike a levy for the amount needed, he said. Robert Stoxem asked how many cars the sheriff's department had and where were they parked in driveways? Hubbard responded that the department had more than twenty cars but some are not in use now because of a need for service. Morris suggested they needed two sheriff's budgets and this could be taken care of after Nov. 2. (date of referendum) A statement by a board member that during the day there was only one Sheriff's department car on patrol duty in the whole county brought a demand from the board for an explanation from the sheriff. Tyrrell and his staff explained that during the day there were four cars on duty, but of these, three were tied up on assign­ ments, making reports or in­ vestigations. During the evening watch, four to twelve, and usually during the "<9ogwatch, 12 to 8'a.m., there would be eight cars on duty through the eight patrol districts. Tyrrell said they had a total of twenty-nine vehicles of all types, but they would need two more cars if they added six men CITY TO MEET ON AGREEMENTS FOR PRE-ANNEXATION (Continued from page 1) time the Council will negotiate a pending building permit requested by Edward Guettler. It will also discuss and attempt to set guidelines for the CIF fund and act upon any and all business that may come before the Council at that time. A recommendattion by the Zoning Board of Appeals to approve the petition of Ace Hardware for a variation to extend its present building to within 5 feet of its rear lot line was not acted upon by the Council. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Strojny of 3802 W. Waukegan road, whose property abuts the rear of Ace Hardware property, appeared before the Council and expressed concern over certain building specifications proposed by Mr. Bjorkman of Ace Hardware and his con­ tractor. The Strojnys wanted assurances from Bjorkman and his contractor that all or­ dinances related to the con­ struction would be complied with. Strojny emphasized that he was not opposed to the con­ struction of an addition to the store but should there be any future violations of ordinances, he wanted his remarks on record before the Council. After some discussion, Stanek said the Zoning board recommendation was not in proper order and it would be sent back for further details. The matter will be brought up at the Oct. 4 meeting for con­ sideration. Alderman George Harker announced that two poles With four street lights will be erected at the Pearl street park in the near future. When Schaedel asked if the city would get any repercussions from residents around the park because of these lights, Harker replied, "To the contrary The residents are requesting the lights." Pepping asked Fred Meyer to check James street for lighting problems. He had been con­ tacted by residents there who pointed out that there is a dark area for people who walk in that vicinity. Chief Kenneth Espey presented the application of Richard G. Smith of 3304 Golfview Terrace, McHenry, for the position of parking meter collector and repairman. He is presently a crossing guard for the city and has had experience repairing small motors and other articles. Espey said Smith had been approved by the Com­ prehensive Employment Training agency (C.E.T.A.i. which would pay his salary until that program runs out. The Council moved to hire Smith and instructed Espey to hire a crossing guard to replace him. It was reported that Jim Bacon, who was previously approved for the job, decided not to take it. In response to a request by Chief Espey, John Shay sub­ mitted a letter designating the number of hours spent at the 1976 Marine Festival activities by volunteer police. McHenry county auxiliary police volunteers spent 442 hours assisting city police with thirty- four hours donated by the Civil Defense Communication division. Shay noted that in the past, the city has shown its ap­ preciation "by a donation to these dedicated volunteers." He said this money is used to purchase ammunition in order that members may comply with the law regarding firearm qualifications and to buy other equipment. Each volunteer must take over 150 hours of training to qualify for auxiliary police status. Shay said. Stanek commented that these volunteers "have been in­ valuable to us and have saved the city a lot of money." Their help is "dearly appreeifltod*V he said. Regarding a donation, Stanek said he has been in contact with Tom Low of the Chamber of Commerce and the city is waiting to see what the Chamber does before it makes a decision. On a request by Supt. Meyer, approval was given to purchase a used car for use by George Biggs, who was recently ap­ pointed Building Inspection officer to replace Glenn Peterson. Alderman Harker, chairman of the Purchasing committee, presented prices on used cars which he had obtained from local car dealers. Alderman Smith moved that Harker and Meyer be authorized to choose a vehicle not to exceed $2,500, "hoping they will pick one up for $1,200 or $1,300." The motion passed on a 7 to 1 vote, Alderman Bolger casting the negative-vote. Stanek mentioned that Supt. Fred Meyer and Howard Dowell, chief operator of the Sewer plant, should be com­ mended for discovering a new chemical which substitutes for alum in the sewer plant resulting in a savings of $24 a day on the cost of chemicals. The nomination of Donald H. Wedekind of 1021 Sommerset Mall, to the Plan commission was made by Mayor Stanek. It was approved unanimously by the Council. Wedekind's resume read by Stanek in­ cluded building inspection and civil engineering degrees in­ volving experience all over the world. He is a retired colonel with the U.S Air Force. When the regular monthly bills were presented for payment, Alderman Walther Schaedel questioned a payment request to the McHenry Country club for the Marine day luncheon at a cost of $130.80. He said he was unaware that this would be taken out of city funds and asked that a bill be sent to him by the city clerk for luncheons for himself and his wife and he would reimburse the city. A motion to pay the bills in the amount of $42,601.96 passed unanimously. It will be taken from the following funds: Motor Fuel Tax, $3,720.69: Revenue Sharing, $3,306.20: Water and Sewer, $913.98; Library, $163.66; Regional Communications, $25,306.00 and General, $9,191.43. On a motion presented by Bolger, the Council agreed to place $1,000 per month into the Off Street Parking fund. Alderman Hromec cast the only negative vote. Bolger pointed out that last year when the city was in financial dif­ ficulty, it was decided to discontinue transferring funds into that account until the financial situation improved. Starting in October, $1,000 will again be placed into that fund monthly. A resolution was approved unanimously transferring the remainder of the Library ap­ propriation to the Library fund. It was explained that $18,000 had been appropriated for library use from federal revenue sharing funds but had never been transferred from the General fund. Bolger noted that somewhere over $7,000 had been paid from the General fund to the library architect. The balance will be assigned to the Library fund to handle its expenses. Stanek read a com­ munication from the Illinois Transportation Study com­ mission which stated it recommended that the FAP 420 project from Wau­ kegan to Richmond "be designed to freeway design standards to be completed by 1981." Mutterings of disbelief ran through the Council following that statement. Permission was granted for a Cerebral Palsy Walkathon to be held Saturday, Sept. 25. Travel route for the walkers will be from McCracken field to Green, south to Bull Valley, west to Route 31, north to Route 176, west to Crystal Lake blacktop, north to Lillian, east to Center and back to Mc­ Cracken field. Approval was also given to collect door-to-doOr Vfor Muscular Dystrophy on NoV. t. 4, CdUftiflHneefing^kre^ scheduled as follows: Friday, Sept. 24, 7:30 p.m.,, pre- annexation discussions on the Wheelock and the " Mass properties; Monday, Sept. 27, 7:30 p.m., Capital Im­ provement Fee discussion and Monday, Oct. 4, 8 p.m., regular Council meeting. COUNTY BOARD DEBATES FUTURE LEADERSHIP (Continued froTi pr.ge 1) persons, or maybe even none. Thore Emricson said they are frequently referred to what other counties are doing, but ^ they don't necessarily have to follow the lead of otehrs. He conceded that the ad­ ministrator worked well in McLean county. People (from administrator counties) could come to explain how it would work, he said. Whatever they did should be to improve the operation of the* county, somebody to meet with the public when they have problems. Willis Simms said he liked the idea o( it not being a full time job. He would like to see the vice-chairman take a more active part, but believed there would be a need for a personnel man. Emricson urged the mem­ bers to select a dollar figure for the budget before the new board sits down. "Then if we don't need it, we don't use it." •> Tom Huemann said the county is weak on personnel management and he believed such a position could be combined with a purchasing agent for a full time man. When it was suggested that administrative assistants appear from adjacent counties to explain how they function and the advantages of such a system, George Lowe said he would object to a presentation by an administrative assistant who would only "butter it up." He would prefer hearing from the chairman of the board. Simms suggested they could have both. Klemm urged that they budget for it whether the board goes for it or not. The board agreed to discuss the matter further at the Oct. 12 special budget meeting with possibly some input from county officials who have tried the administrative assistant approach. Defenders Sponsor Food Talk Every day there are 222.(KM) more mouths to feed in the world. Is the present agricultural system capabl^of keeping up with this demand'.' Is there a food shortage looming in the future0 Food production policies and their relationship to a changing environment will be the topic of a meeting sponsored by the McHenry County Defenders Monday evening. Sept. 27. in Crystal Lake Lou Marchi of Bull Valley, a soils scientist, will discuss a variety of topics including climate. plant species, soils and fertilizers He feels, present day agricultural policies have been developed during a period of favorable weather conditions and that they may lock the country into a situation that could prove disastrous if climatic con­ ditions change Marchi will survey the ac­ cumulating scientific evidence of changing climatic conditions and will relate them to present day crop hybrids and yields. He will explore more flexible agricultural practices which could avoid a food crisis. A discussion period will follow the talk, and members of the agricultural community and the general public are invited to participate - The meeting will be held at the United Methodist church.
