Rose said the money from the Polka Dance with Parks and Rec should have a
separate line item. They started out with $4043.68 they subtracted the
expenses - $2182.32 and ended up with $1860.32 net profit.
Recreation Department Report: Rose Spears for Sue Swithin
The Juniors Women's Club asked the HRC for sponsorship. The HRC said
we would not waive the fee for the deposit. Sue Swithin said she supports
waiving fees because they support the Parks with maintenance throughout
the year.
What does everyone think? We can waive the rent for $115.00 but not the
deposit in kind.
We discussed approval of Senior Services Associates, Inc. for a Craft Fair on
5/13/06 at Beecher Center. Sylvia moved that we approve if th6 facility is
available to approve it, Diana seconded the motion.
Sylvia then proceeded to call Sue Swithin to find out what were supposed to
do - require Senior Services to pay $100.00 deposit in case something
happened at the facility and the money had to be used to fix what was
damaged. Sue said to go ahead and approve the Senior Services and Barb
will figure out the rental amount. Barb will figure out the cost for the Craft
Fair, the Senior Prom and the Senior Easter Egg Hunt.
Rose also brought up Meals on Wheels because she is getting a lot of
complaints about the food and the portions-of the food.
Madonna made the first motion and Tom seconded the motion to allow the
events fees to be waived, but not the deposits for the above events.
Library Board Meeting: None
School Reports:
$500.00 Scholarship available for college bound students. The applications
can be found at the Police Department.
Old Business:
1. Visitors Center
HRC approved the Paradise Car Wash, the Prairie State Legal Services, Inc.
and Yorkville Mirror and Glass to be added to the Visitor's Center.
The HRC also discussed that each business would be responsible for adding
more information when their material ran low.
2. Historical Street Naming: Glory Spies
HRC actually discussed all of the following information first so Glory could
be on her way, and not have to stay for the entire meeting.
The discussion began on Glory's letter for Street Naming to enable to
nominate more individuals names. The HRC suggested the following
changes: change the pamphlet to say the HRC was established on October 9,
1975. Everyone agreed it was a good idea, also, leave the members names off
of the new pamphlet, so when members change the pamphlet doesn't have to
change. The pamphlet should also reflect the phone number for the City
630-553-4350. Tom suggested a rough draft reflecting some names that have
been added, in addition to adding the City Seal. Diana also calling Kathy
Farren at the Kendall County Record for some additional pictures for the
Street Naming Project.
Rose is trying to establish an actual date of inception for the Street Naming
Process. Rose will call Glory directly when she finds any information.
Glory also gave us a money request for the Sports Boosters. They want the
HRC to advertise for their Castle Challenge on 3/18/06. But , we don't have
enough money and we really don't advertise..
Rose and Glory then discussed having the Police receptionist organize all the
information so it can be sent to us in the mail and we'll receive it between
meeting.
Glory then let the committee know she has not gone through the entire
process so the nominees families are not being alerted when their family
members names have been selected and what area the name is being used in.
rose will let Glory know when the names are approved and when Jennifer
lets Madonna know the names have been chosen. She will e-mail Glory with
the final choices and where the names are being used.
James Harkness and Dr. Robert Coleman the HRC shows these names were
approved on 5/5/05, however, their names are not on the approved list. Rose
said Joe Besco was supposed to bring this information to the Public Works
meeting. We also discussed Lawrence Bud Henning for Historical Street
naming, the committee believes we've already discussed Lawrence and
Madonna said she would check because he is not in the organized list that we
were given by Jennifer.
Madonna's husband created a form for Historical Street names, and the
entire committee thought it was great.
The committee also decided we would like to ask the new director, Dave
Mogul at Parks and Rec. is we can name a park in honor of Jeffrey Coleman
or plant a tree in his honor. Tom would like to make a motion to find a way
to honor Mr. Coleman. Mr. Coleman doesn't fit the criteria for street naming,
however, there still may be a way to honor him in Yorkville.
Rose is also going to talk to Travis Miller about procedure and what new
developers have to do to get the development process for street naming. The
more times it is seen and in front of the developers, the more likely it is to
happen early in the process.
Rose then said the City purchased a City flag 2-3 years ago at approximately
$65.00 a flag. Rose feels each family who has a member chosen for a street
name should receive one of these flags.
Additional Business:
HRC discussed the Castle Challenge and whether or not we advertisement
could be bought with the budget. Since the HRC does not advertise, it was
really not necessary.
We then tabled discussion on Dr. Frederic Groner until the May meeting.
Sylvia motioned to adjourn at 8:26 p.m. and Diana seconded it.
