At a mid-January meeting of the city council regarding the possible annexation of McHenry Shores, McHenry Police Chief George R. Pasenelli reported a cost of more than ^ 10.Q66 to ^provide similar police service to the McHeniy Shores area.

There has been an agreement that the current status of the agent should be preserved "until the joint committee has had an opportunity to agree on a future plan."

The IEPA will not issue sewer construction permit unless Facility Planning Area (FPA) boundaries are amended.
