The Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District (BCFPD) Board of Trustees meets tonight at 6:30 PM at 22222 N. Pepper Road in Lake Barrington. Topics for discussion and possible approval include:

  • Consideration and possible approval of 2022 Tax Levy Ordinance, and
  • Discussion and possible approval of 2023 Compensation

We do know the 2021 levy was $7,008,000, however we cannot report what the 2020 levy was for comparison since the District website does not provide that information.

As far as compensation is concerned, minutes from the November 2021 District meeting state, “Trustee Long moved to increase the salary of 3 acting officers from $75,000 to $85,000 and 6 preceptors from $65,000 to $70,000.”

The Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District (BCFPD) Board of Trustees usually meets on the third Monday of the month. However, no agenda is posted on the District’s website, nor is a notice of cancellation of the meeting.

If the meeting goes forward this evening, the Board should note:

“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.”

For the recorded, this is not the first time we’ve noticed the BCFPD has neglected to post required notifications.  If an agenda appears later today, we’ll notify readers.

The Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District (BCFPD) Board of Trustees meets tonight at 6:30 PM at 22222 N. Pepper Road in Lake Barrington.  Some of the topics on their agenda include:

  • Consideration and possible approval of Landscape agreement for 1004 S Hough (May we see the bids, please?)
  • Consideration and possible approval of salary adjustments for personnel (When was the last time personnel got an “adjustment,” and what “adjustment” is now being considered?)
  • Consideration and possible approval of a proposal for a new ambulance (What is being proposed, and how many companies bid?)

As one might suspect, we’re not pleased with the amount of information provided to tax payers by the BCFPD, and we haven’t been for years. Their agendas lack any information for residents to consider attending, and minutes are nonexistent for this or any other meeting according to their website.

We’ll have more to say on this lack of transparency, but for now, a copy of the agenda can be viewed and downloaded here.
