Anybody heard from BACOG lately?

Posted in Appointments, BACOG, Clown Car, Dumb and Dumber, Politics, South Barrington, Topics Of Interest, Well Water Quality on August 21, 2024| Leave a Comment »

We’ve found the Barrington Area Council Of Governments (BACOG) to be of somewhat questionable relevance and value to the community at times over the years. Still, we’ve tried to keep our readers apprised of their activities and schedule, thus the reason for our “bumping” them today.

The last BACOG meeting minutes posted publicly to their website are from March (of this year at least). It would be nice to obtain updates (if nothing else for entertainment).

Also, BACOG has yet to publish their 2024–2025 Fiscal Year (July – June) meeting schedule.  Since we do notify our readers when meetings are scheduled, it would be just ducky if the dates could be posted.

Last, our own battling Brian “Yabba Dabba Doo” Cecola’s term as 2023-2024 BACOG Board Chair ended in June. His wit and valuable insights will be sorely missed, of course, but who is the new chair?

Illinois State Representative Nabeela Syed will be speaking at tonight’s BACOG meeting.

The Barrington Area Council of Governments (BACOG)  is scheduled to have multiple meets today at the Barrington Hills Village Hall.

The first is a meeting of the BACOG Connectivity Committee originally scheduled for March 20, 2024, but postponed until today we believe at 5:30 PM.  Topics include:

  • Current and Potential Projects, and
  • Coordination with Lake and Cook County 5-Year Road Programs

The BACOG Finance Committee meets at 6:40 PM to cover:

  • (Approval) Minutes of May 23, 2023*
  • Proposed Budget for FY 24-25*
    • Adjustments for FY 2023-24, and
    • Use of Business Partner Contributions

At 7:00 PM, the BACOG Executive Board meets.  Topics on their agenda include:

  • Discussion with Invited Guest Illinois State Representative Nabeela Syed
  • Public Comment
  • (Approval) Minutes of March 20, 2024*
  • (Approval) Treasurer’s Report for April 2024*
  • Committee and Liaison Reports
    • Connectivity Committee (President Rusteberg)
    • Legislative Committee (President Darch)
    • Northwest Water Planning Alliance (President McCombie)
  • Member Updates, and,
  • Director’s Report (Executive Director)

We’d be happy to post copies of these agendas. However, BACOG does not post them on their website. They simply print and tape them to the windows of member offices, despite the following:

“Public bodies that have a website must post the agenda of any regular meetings of the governing body (i.e. County Board, Board of Trustees, Board of Commissioners, School Board, etc.) at least 48 hours prior to said meeting. Any agenda of a regular meeting that is posted on a public body’s website shall remain posted until the regular meeting is concluded.”

Further, the last time BACOG posted any meeting minutes was in January, and:

“Any public body that has a website must post the minutes of a regular meeting of its governing body (i.e. County Board, Board of Trustees, Board of Commissioners, School Board, etc) on the website within 10 days after the approval of the minutes by the public body. Public bodies must approve the minutes of the previous meeting either by the next meeting or within 30 days, whichever is later. These minutes must stay on the website for at least 60 days after their initial posting.”

So much for compliance and transparency.

* Attachment follows the agenda
