Page 1 of 4
Summary:
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the vulnerability of persons suffering from
and/or recovering from this illness, there are concerns that smoke pollution
could make this respiratory illness worse.
Our current Village Ordinance allows for open burning between October 1 to May 31
of each year. This Ordinance would prohibit burning effective May 5, 2020, to
December 31, 2020, after which the Ordinance would revert back to current standards.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2020-O-11, an Ordinance amending the Village of
Lake Barrington Village Code temporarily prohibiting burning effective May 5, 2020,
to December 31, 2020.
B. VILLAGE CODE AMENDMENT - TEMPORARY USE TENTS
Summary:
The Village Code currently allows a tent or other temporary structure to remain on a
property for no more than 15 days per year. A longer period of time requires a
Temporary Use Permit, which is good for a total of 45 days per year.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2020-O-12, an Ordinance Amending Title 1,
"Administration", Section 1-10-7, and Title 8, "Zoning", Section 8-3-10 of the Village
Code

month with the necessary protections to the Village.

A. ELECTRICAL AGGREGATION PRESENTATION
Summary:
On August 10, 2009, Governor Patrick Quinn signed into law Public Act 096-0176,
which allows municipalities to arrange for the provision of electricity to residential and
small commercial retail customers by alternative electric suppliers (i.e. suppliers other
than ComEd). Under this law, the municipality may seek bids for the provision of
aggregate electricity supply services to their residents and small businesses.
Rates are again competitive, and staff has been researching electrical aggregation in
order to save residents and small businesses money on their monthly electrical bills.
Staff is seeking direction to continue with NIMEC to solicit bids for supplying
electricity to Lake Barrington residents.
