Attendees of last night’s Board of Trustees were treated to a very rare experience: all seven (7) members of the current Barrington Hills Board of Trustees were in attendance up close and personal.  The last time a sighting like this occurred was the May 8, 2023, BOT meeting to certify results of the April 4, 2023 Consolidated Election (a photo of the event captured above).

Last night, the board unanimously voted to approve Kyle Murphy as the next Chief of Police for the Village of Barrington Hills. The board also voted 6-0 against a proposed ordinance amendment to a allow Agritourism as a special use. President Cecola did not cast a vote.

Recordings of the meeting will be posted when they become available.

Two items of interest on Monday’s Board of Trustees meeting agenda

Posted in Agendas, Barbarian Migrants in Busses at the Gate, Big Red, Clown Car, Deception, Dumb and Dumber, Ethics, FOIA, Politics, Privacy, Property Taxes, Resident Spotlights, Topics Of Interest, Village Attorney, Village Board, Village Clerk, Village Code, Village Director of Administration, Village Engineer, Village Government, Village President on February 24, 2024| 3 Comments »

After nearly four (4) years, the Village will present, “Donlea Road (Lacey Lake) Drainage Investigation Final Findings,” Monday night at the Board of Trustees meeting. Since the item precedes Public Comment, one can assume attendees will be afforded the privilege of asking questions and commenting.

A copy of the, “DRAINAGE INVESTIGATION FINDING,” report can be found here, and this topic is first on the agenda.

Last on their agenda Monday, after the Board meets in Executive Session, comes:

“[Vote] Ordinance Annexing Territory Commonly Known as 15 Old Sutton Road, 188 Old Sutton Road, 190 Sutton Road, 191 Penny Road, 193 Penny Road, 545 Penny Road, 545 Penny Road, and Identified Railroad Property to the Village of Barrington Hills Ordinance 24 –“

This seems like a chickenshit tactic since attendees will be compelled to stay until the end of the meeting and be required to exit the MacArthur room while the Board confabs. In a way, this is likely beneficial, though, since they wouldn’t want to exhibit their ignorance (any more than usual) in public session.

Documentation on the agenda for this item includes:

Interested parties are strongly encouraged to attend this meeting since the Village Zoom audio quality is pa-thetic and comment and question features are disabled.
