Following the motion’s second, a brief discussion may be held about any designated item. If lengthier discussion or debate is needed, any Trustee or the Village President may request any item to be removed from the motion and those items will be 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 the form listed above. There will be no further discussion of these items. If discussion is desired, that item will be removed from Consent Agenda and will be considered separately. A. CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF LAKE BARRINGTON AND DEKIND COMPUTER CONSULTANTS, INC. FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $15,120.00 PER YEAR. Summary: The Village of Lake Barrington has been contracting out its IT services with the current vendor since 2019. In doing our due diligence, being transparent, and keeping cost effectiveness in mind, it was the decision of the Village staff with the consent of the Village Board to issue a Request for Proposals for Managed IT Services. Recommended Action: Motion to approve an Agreement Between the Village of Lake Barrington and DeKind Computer Consultants, Inc. for Professional Services in the Amount of $15,120.00 per year. B. CONSIDERATION OF A SMOKE TESTING PROPOSAL FROM DUKES ROOT CONTROL OF SOUTH ELGIN, IL IN THE AMOUNT OF $22,000 FOR SANITARY SEWER SMOKE TESTING IN THE BUSINESS PARK Summary: Smoke testing looks to pinpoint locations of I&I (Inflow and Infiltration) which is basically additional water that does not belong in the sewer system and can cause treatment facilities to become overwhelmed. By identifying and correcting sources of inflow and infiltration, smoke testing helps prevent sewer backups, street overflows, and unnecessary treatment costs. Smoke testing can also reveal plumbing leaks and faulty connections. The Village of Lake Barrington is looking to conduct smoke testing on its sewer system in the Business Park. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the Smoke Testing Proposal from Dukes Root Control of South Elgin, IL in the amount of $22,000.00 for Sanitary Sewer Smoke Testing in the Page 2 of 6 Business Park. Further, authorize the Village Administrator to expend a contingency up to 10% ($2,200) to cover any additions or changes due to unforeseen conditions and authorize the Village Administrator to execute the necessary documents. C. CONSIDERATION OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE JOINT EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SYSTEM BOARD OF LAKE COUNTY AND THE VILLAGE OF LAKE BARRINGTON. Summary: The new Joint Emergency Telephone System Board (JETSB) of Lake County oversees both the LakeComm dispatch center and the Lake County Sheriff's Office dispatch center. All Public Safety Access Points (PSAPs, which are 911 dispatch centers) are agencies that operate through either an Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB) or JETSB. Because the Lake County ETSB and several other ETSBs and JETSBs are being dissolved and absorbed into the new JETSB of Lake County, the State of Illinois is now requiring LakeComm and the JETSB of Lake County to secure an acknowledgement from all the municipalities who were members of the dissolving ETSBs and JETSBs noting that they understand that they are now a part of the JETSB of Lake County. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the Memorandum of Understanding Between the Joint Emergency Telephone System Board of Lake County and the Village of Lake Barrington. D. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE VILLAGE OF LAKE BARRINGTON VILLAGE CODE AND IMPLEMENTING A MUNICIPAL GROCERY RETAILERS' OCCUPATION TAX AND A MUNICIPAL GROCERY SERVICE TAX FOR THE VILLAGE OF LAKE BARRINGTON. Summary: The State of Illinois Fiscal Year 2025 budget repealed the statewide tax on groceries with an effective date of January 1, 2026. The budget legislation granted municipalities the authority to pass a 1% local Grocery Tax Ordinance in advance of the January 1, 2026 effective date. A certified copy of the Ordinance must be submitted to the IDOR, postmarked by October 1, 2025 in order for the tax to be imposed beginning January 1, 2026. Recommended Action: Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2025-O-14, an Ordinance Amending the Village of Lake Barrington Municipal Code, and Implementing a Municipal Grocery Retailers' Occupation Tax and a Municipal Grocery Service Tax for the Village of Lake Barrington. E. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A CONTRACT WITH AMPS POWER SOLUTIONS FOR CONSULTING SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE VILLAGE OF LAKE BARRINGTON RELATIVE TO A PROPOSED SOLAR PROJECT.
