The McHenry City Council recently approved an ordinance regulating . the use of solar collectors, panels, engines and components. The ordinance applies to all solar collectors and all com­ ponent parts on new and existing buildings. Solar engines, any device intended to produce motion from heat generated by sunlight, • are also covered whenever such devices are located on a roof. In order to construct a solar collector, a resident of the city is now required to obtain a permit. The application for a permit must include drawings or blueprints which indicate the locations and clearances from the roof of all.collectors, ducts, pipes, controls, etc., and all parts located within the building. The ordinance requires that the solar collectors be installed either on the roof of the main building on a property, or made "an integral part" of the main building. Existing city maximum height and setback requirements must also be observed. There are also provisions to protect adjoining properties from any limitations on their use or development. If a roof has a slope of less than one-quarter inch per horizontal foot, a solar collector is prohibited. On other roofs, low-sloped or otherwise, the installation of solar collectors is specified so as to protect against leakage and to provide for adequate air cir­ culation and repairs. The ordinance prohibits the installation of any solar device on a roof that does not have sufficient capacity to hold the weight of the roof, the com­ ponents of the solar collector and the anticipated snow load. The anticipated snow load is the greatest weight of snowfall to be anticipated in the city and is calculated from U.S. Weather Bureau statistics. A homeowner is also required to make provision for drifting Mayor to address drug-alcohol abuse in community at meeting Mayor Joseph Stanek is scheduled to address the subject of drug and alcohol abuse in the community at the next meeting of the Citizens for Community Action: A Better Way. All CCA task force committees will meet at 7:15 p.m., Wed­ nesday, March 14, in rooms 210-211 of McHenry West Campus. Since the group is seeking to strengthen its membership, the general public is welcome to attend the meeting. Each of the various committees of CCA is scheduled to give a brief report beginning at 7:15 p.m., with discussion of the up­ coming McHenry Trade Fair to follow. Stanek's presentation is planned to begin a 8 p.m. As a result of the meeting, CCA hopes to establish a plan with the city for the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse in McHenry, particularly by young people. by Marion Olsen Concern for local taxpayers was prominent in the minds of the District 15 School Board members when they explored ways to save energy and meet health and life safety requirements for the elemen­ tary schools. After reviewing a bulky report prepared by the architectural firm of Unteed, Scaggs, Fritch, Ltd., the building and planning committee recommended ac­ cepting a portion of the multiple suggestions. The changes at the schools would meet all health and life safety requirements and im­ plement some of the energy saving recommendations. Yet, the program would stay within the budgeted five cents per $100 of assessed valuation currently being levied for life safety purposes. life safety changes would cost $26,980 and the accepted energy conservation measures would cost $82,001 for a total ex­ penditure of $108,981. The major energy saver, replacing school windows with thermopane and insulated opaque panels, was considered too clostly for now, despite eventual energy savings. Superintendent Dr. Richard Farmer suggested the possibility could be recon­ sidered when Parkland School bonds are retired in 1987. Most conservation efforts involved installing fans in ap­ propriate places, replacing some thermostats and lighting fixtures or tubes, and using timers on heating, lighting and hot water systems for maximum energy savings. A final resolution will be prepared for board approval in March. In other action, the board voted to establish the following 1984-85 registration fees: Kin­ dergarten, $16; Grades 1-5, $21; and Grades 6-8, $25. The fees remain the same as this year for kindergarten, but will be raised by $1 for grades 1-5 and by $2 for grades 6-8. Dr. Farmer noted that the fee is in the middle areas of fees being charged in other area schools. Kindergarten-primary daily milk program costs will remain at $25 for the school year. Low cost milk programs are a thing of the past, according to the Superintendent, because there is no state reimbursement. The cost is in line with what the school pays for the milk. Approve second year for county migrant program the vehicle, and she was taken by the Round Lake Rescue Squad to Condell Memorial Hospital, Libertyville. Police said Paulin sustained head and chest injuries in the accident. snow that could be caused be the installation of the solar device. In making the motion to pass the ordinance, Aid. William Busse (2nd), chairman of the finance committee, pointed out that the finished product was a composite of various ordinances in the Chicagoland area. "It runs the gamut without being too wordy," Busse said. "It's pretty comprehensive." The provisions of the or­ dinance met with council approval and passed unanimously. The Summer 1984 Migrant Program has been approved by the Johnsburg School Board. The Johnsburg district is the administrator for this program which provides schooling for migrant workers who. find themselves in the county during the summer. These are young people who very often find their studies interrupted during the regular school year because of the various seasons that fruit and vegetables are ready for harvest. Through this program, these youths are able to attend classes in the area where they are currently working. In this county, most of these workers are employed in the south­ western part and classes are available through the Wood­ stock High School. This program also offers work to members of the teaching staff who want to work during the summer. In other business, it was decided by the board to raise the fee for the child care program currently offered by the high school during the second semester. This program offers parents a chance to enroll their pre-schoolers in a one or two- day-a-week program that is run by high school students. The students receive advance training in child care and training and then are able to use the skills they have learned in an actual classroom situation. The athletic training program will be expanded to include special training regarding sports medicine and athletic injuries. This is offered as a free service to area high schools. The heart of the program is a con­ sulting visit each week by a certified and insured atheltic trainer. Coaches would refer students to him to get advice about their athletic injuries, and he would assist with proper bandaging techniques, etc. Other area schools have already been involved in this program and have found very positive parental response.
