President a group of designated ordinances, orders, resolutions, or motions placed together for voting purposes in a single group.
Following the motion’s second, a brief discussion may be held about any designated item. If lengthier discussion or debate is

considered during the regular course of the meeting as they appear on the agenda.
All matters listed under Consent Agenda are considered to be routine by the Village Board and will be enacted by one motion in

Consent Agenda and will be considered separately.

INC. TO PROVIDE CERTAIN CONSULTING SERVICES TO THE VILLAGE.

include assessing the Village's communications plans/tools on an ongoing basis,
assuring information is provided to the public, assuring information is provided to the
media on issues related to economic development, assisting with the Village newsletter
and other related services.
Recommended Action:

Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement with Mac Strategies Group, Inc. to Provide
Certain Consulting Services to the Village.
B. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE REGARDING COMPENSATION OF
THE POSITION OF VILLAGE ACCOUNTANT.
Summary:
The Village of Lake Barrington has contracted out the position of Village Accountant
since June, 2021, and the current contract provides for accounting services two to three
days a week. Staff feels that it is in the best interest of the Village and the residents to
bring this position back as a full time employee.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2024-O-08, an Ordinance Regarding Compensation
of the Position of Village Accountant.
C. CONSIDERATION TO APPOINT JENNIFER BALMES TO THE POSITION OF
VILLAGE ACCOUNTANT.

Accountant. A total of eight resumes were received and three candidates were
interviewed for the position.

Recommended Action:
Motion to appoint Mollie Dahlin as the Village of Lake Barrington's Administrative
Adjudication Hearing Officer.
E. PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF RAW AND FINISHED WATER METERS.
Summary:
The raw and finished water meters at the Water Plant were installed in 1999. The
meters at the Water Plant are 8" and handle 30+ million gallons of water per year. The
life expectancy of a meter this size is much less than the life expectancy of a 2" meter,
which is 15-20 years, however, our meters are 25 years old.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve purchasing the raw and finished water meters from Midwest Meter
in the amount of $12,526.00 and the installation of the meters by McHenry Plumbing
of McHenry, IL in the amount of $1,500.00.
F. CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 IN THE AMOUNT OF $35,344.80
TO GESKE AND SONS, INC. OF CRYSTAL LAKE, IL FOR THE 2024 STREET
PROGRAM.
Summary:
During the budgeting process, we met with the staff from the water plant to review
existing budgeted items and items to be budgeted for the next year. Paving the parking
lot at the water plant is an item that is budgeted for Fiscal Year 2025. Since both Fox
River Grove and Lake Barrington had already gone out to bid for their street
resurfacing programs, we felt it made sense to get quotes from the contractors that
were awarded the bids, and a quote from Cuba Township. Geske and Sons provided
the lowest quote to repave the parking lot at the water plant.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $35,344.80 to Geske and
Sons, Inc. of Crystal Lake, IL for the 2024 Street Program.
G. CONSIDERATION OF AN APPLICATION FOR A TEMPORARY USE AT
KELSEY ROAD HOUSE - SEASONAL SERVICE TRAILER; APRIL THROUGH

outdoor seasonal service trailer from April to October. The trailer would be set up to
provide drinks to patrons that are enjoying the outdoor section while waiting for a
table.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve the Application for a Temporary Use at Kelsey Road House for the
Seasonal Service Trailer; April through October.
H. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LAKE
BARRINGTON VILLAGE CODE; SECTION 2-3-6, CLASSIFICATION OF
LICENSES.
Summary:
The Village of Lake Barrington Village Code lists out the different classifications of
Liquor Licenses and the number of licenses in each classification. If a business closes,
or chooses to no longer sell liquor, the Village Board is required to amend the Village
Page 3 of 5
Code to reduce the number of Licenses in that particular classification.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2024-O-09, an Ordinance Amending the Lake
Barrington Village Code; Section 2-3-6, Classification of Licenses.
I. CONSIDERATION OF A BOND WAIVER REQUEST FOR A RAFFLE LICENSE
FOR THE BRIDGE YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES OF PALATINE, ILLINOIS.
Summary:
The Bridge Youth and Family Services is holding a special event at Wild Onion
Brewery on April 27, 2024. The special event includes a raffle where tickets are being
sold at the event for $10 for ten tickets or $25 for 25 tickets. The Village Code requires
that a raffle license be issued by the Village, and one of the requirements for the raffle
license is that the raffle manager give a fidelity bond in the sum of the aggregate retail
