'"S PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22.1982 anniversary of the George R. Justen & Son Funeral home passed unanimously. A similar resolution recently passed the 111. House of Representatives. PARK TOPOGRAPHIC PAGE 18 ACT ON UTILITY INSPECTION (Continued from page 1) The council deferred action on the "voting ordinance" until City At­ torney Bernard Narusis could be present to answer some questions. The ordinance is designed to clear up just how something other than an "aye" or unay" vote should be counted. The Illinois Supreme court muddied the waters by not spelling out whether a "pass" or an "ab­ stention" should be a) counted as, a "nay" vote, a common practice, or, b) counted with the majority of votes. The council granted Mayor Stanek authority to begin permit application work in order to construct a small lake in Whispering Oaks park, near Route 120. Stanek reported to the council that $4,800 was left in the Boone creek dredging account and could be used for more waterway improvement. He proposed the construction of a lake- settling pond, which would measure 100 feet by 45 feet and would be 12 feet deep. According to Stanek, the work could be completed for about.$5,000. The council authorized the use of the $4,800 plus an amount not to exceed $1,000 from the city coffers. Mayor Stanek saia Home avenue, behind the Marked Place shopping center, will be blocked and closed to traffic for one week, Jan. 3-9. In a letter to the Council, the owners of the property said{they would permit travel as before, ^yt would have to close the road to the public for a short lime in order to retain their interest and title to the property. The closing of the road every few years or so would prevent someone from laying claim to the roadway as a public thoroughfare. The council accepted the donation of the picnic shelter at Knox park from the McHenry Lion's club. The organization presented $2,839.52 as reimbursement for the materials the city purchased. A motion by Aid. Michael Wieser for a resolution recognizing the 100-year MAP CAUSES COUNCIL DEBATE (Continued from poqe 1) residents do not have access, except across the RDG property. A motion to allow the improvement ( leveling and possibly a backstop) of the RDG property at a cost not to exceed $1,000 passed unanimously. Park Director Peter Merkel was directed to put together some plans for a washroom-storage facility at Petersen park. McHenry, Mayor Joseph Stanek pushed for the construction of a community center -- with concession or kitchen capabilities, meeting rooms, etc. -- but some council members were reluctant to go that far. Aid. Pepping came out in support of the washroom-storage building, but said the city could look at the current real estate market as an alternative to building a new community center. No action was taken. Mrs. Nolan also reported that measures were being taken to control erosion along the Riverside drive park area until a permanent solution could be devised. The Park director was also in­ structed to obtain some ideas and costs of improving the lighting in Pearl street park. Long a concern of Aid. Smith's, better lighting is needed for both security and the tennis courts. The council is also looking into the upgrading of the tennis courts and the washroom facilities. Following the report, Aid. Cecilia Serritella (4th ward) commented that, according to the minutes of the committee meeting, the mayor would "see to it" that a lot of jobs were done. "Why does a mayor see that a seawall is put in or that park main- L tenance is done?" Mrs. Serritella asked. "Something is wrong here. We have a structured city and everyone has jobs." Aid. Pepping also noted this was the impression given from the minutes and commented that the Park director is paid to get the job done. If that was not the case, it would be one of the things he looked at as chairman of the Finance committee. Aid. Busse, who attended the park commmittee meeting, said that the mayor was the first to volunteer for many of the "dirty jobs." (At the close of the meeting, Park director Merkel asked that the council go into executive session to discuss matters of personnel.
