Our Village Board of Trustees will be conducting their regular monthly meeting this evening beginning at 6:30 PM. Topics on their agenda include:
- PUBLIC HEARING: Village of Barrington Hills Annual Appropriation Ordinance for the Fiscal Year Beginning January 1, 2024, and Ending December 31, 2024 Appropriation Ord FY 2024 – Draft.pdf
- [Vote] Annual Appropriation Ordinance for the Fiscal Year Beginning January 1, 2024 and Ending December 31, 2024 Ordinance 24 –
- [Vote] Resolution for Use of Motor Fuel Tax Funds on Snow Removal 2024 Resolution 24 –
- [Vote] Ordinance Amending the General Penalty of the Village Code Adjusting the Maximum Fine Ordinance 24 –
- Annexation of Contiguous Properties Discussion
The fourth item on the list amending the amount(s) of, “General Penalty of the Village Code,” reads:
“Any person convicted of or found liable for a violation of any section of this code shall be fined in a sum not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) and not to exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) for any one offense, excepting any specific section of this code wherein the maximum fine is limited to a lesser amount.”
Both amounts are too low, especially the $100.00 amount. By the time all the costs, from start to finish, are aggregated to collect $100.00, the Village will likely lose money (and no doubt has been for many years).
A copy of their agenda can be viewed and downloaded here.
