It seems that Barrington Hills Park District officials believe the less residents are informed, the better off they are.
The Barrington Hills Park District Board will hold their regular monthly meeting this evening via Zoom at 7 PM. A copy of their agenda can be viewed here, but just as we’ve cautioned repeatedly, don’t expect much information.
There are no minutes available from the February meeting for the public to review online, nor is a recording of the Zoom meeting. The District WAS kind enough to include taxpayers with their 2019 Annual Financial Statement (found here) when we pointed out one of their lapses in transparency last month.
Information on how to join the Zoom meetings tonight can be found here.
We should also note that last week the District Advisory Committee met on March 2nd. The notice can be found here, but there was no agenda posted nor any minutes. Even more disappointing, when searching the District website (found here), there’s no information to be found on this Committee.

The Barrington Hills Park District Board will hold their regular monthly meeting this evening via Zoom at 7 PM. A copy of their agenda can be viewed here, but just as we cautioned last month, don’t expect much information (or any, really).
There are no minutes available from the January meetings for the public to review online. They were kind enough to provide us with their 2021 budget and appropriation documentation which can be viewed here, however the most recent financial statement available on their website is from 2018.
Information on how to join the Zoom meetings tonight can be found here.

The Barrington Hills Park District Board will hold their, “Annual Budget and Appropriation Hearing,” via video conferencing this evening at 6:45 PM. A copy of the agenda can be viewed here, but don’t expect to see any more than that.
You will not find a, “budget and appropriation,” because clearly, the District doesn’t feel it important for taxpayers to review such trivial information prior to the public meeting. If you MUST review them, it is assumed one can obtain a copy from the District office (but there are no guarantees).
At 7:00 PM, the District will be conducting their regular monthly meeting. A copy of their typically boilerplate agenda can be viewed here.
Once again, minutes from the prior District meeting are not available for public review. If they were, residents might have questions, and the last thing commissioners want are questions.
The person responsible for this blatant lack of transparency is Dennis Kelly, President of the Barrington Hills Park Board. Word has it he is now running for President of Barrington Hills.
Given the way Kelly treats his responsibilities at the Park District, in the unlikely event he were elected Village President, the Village would likely return to what most residents remember as “The Dark Ages” we experienced prior to 2013.

The December 9, 2020, Park Board Meeting will be held via video conferencing at 7:00 PM. A phone number and access code is available to the public for anyone who would like to observe or comment during the meeting.
The agenda (seen here) includes, “Approval of the November 2020 Park Board Meeting Minutes,” but they are not provided to residents to review. Also on the agenda is, “Tax Levy Ordinance 12-09-2020-01,” but this too seems unavailable for public inspection. This has been standard practice for as long as anyone can remember. The District seems to believe the less people know the better it is for them.

We received an email notice that the Riding Center Advisory Committee will be meeting tonight at 7:00 PM. Ordinarily, we don’t post such notices, but since someone saw fit to notify residents, we thought we should pass it along since it may be a special meeting. Click here to view the notice.
There is no agenda in the posting, so anyone interested should Zoom (or phone) in to see what’s up and say hey.
