McHenry County Board Meeting This Morning

The Finance and Audit and Human Resources Committees will meet jointly this morning at 8:30 prior to the County Board meeting. Several resolutions are being considered for approval by the committees before they can be considered by the full Board.

On resolution is authorizing a mid-year reclassification of the Internal Auditor Position. The other resolutions concern road work including Highway Pavement Preservation and Maintenance and crack sealing. The $2,870,000 for Highway Maintenance Resurfacing contract and resurfacing is being funded from Motor Fuel Tax funds.

The $138,000 for the crack sealing program is derived from RTA Sales Tax funds.

The County Board meeting begins at 9:00 am. That agenda indicates appointments being made to the McHenry County Housing Commission, a newly formed group, and the Board of Review.

In addition to the Board's consideration of the three resolutions considered by the Committees prior to the Board meeting, a resolution endorsing the Groundwater Recharge Model Policy of the Groundwater Protection Action Plan is being considered.

Another resolution for consideration is Support for the establishment of Hack-Ma-Tack National Wildlife Refuge in the northern part of McHenry County.

Acquisition of Right-of-Way for Highway purposes for James R. Rakow Road is before the Board for approval. Funds to be appropriated equal $2 million.

A number of road district construction contracts are being presented for approval along with requested approval for the purchase of a 4-ton tandem axle asphalt hot patch-wagon at a cost of $27,427.

Four more groups have volunteered to clean up trash from some of the roadways in the Adopt A Highway program. These include the Evertsen Family of Crystal Lake; McHenry County Sportsmen's Association; EPS Materials, Marengo and Lakewood Fire Department. All are to be confirmed by the County Board.
