4. DISCUSSION
Items 4. A. - 4. E. are detailed below.
Items 4. F. - 4. K. are detailed in the Consent Agenda.
A. Re-Cap of Public Emergency Situation on August 20, 2024.
Trustee Burke reviewed the emergency situation that occurred on August 20, 2024 in the
Village of Lake Barrington. He explained the timeline of the event: At 1:09 p.m. Deputy
Chief, Chris Covelli called the Village Administrator who was in a meeting, six minutes
later, Deputy Chief Covelli then called President Richardson. President Richardson next
called the Village Attorney's who then relayed the information to staff and all public
officials. At 2:48 p.m. the Village posted the update LCSO provided on Facebook. At 2:54
p.m. President Richardson placed the Reverse 911 call to all registered emergency alert users
in the Village of Lake Barrington. At 3:12 p.m. the Village sent an email blast to all
registered e-notification users in the Village of Lake Barrington. The Village Board first
commended the quick and effective work of the LCSO. It was explained that the LCSO is
an extension of the Village meaning, LCSO and the Village of Lake Barrington are one in
the same; if information is being released from our first responders at the LCSO, that is a
reflection of the Village as well. Trustee Burke informed the Board that mailings were sent
to all residents and businesses. The letter detailed the resident responsibility to sign up for
LCSO emergency notification application as well as the Village's Reverse 911 which can be
found on the Village's website. At the time of the event on August 20th, 3,418 individuals
were called via Reverse 911, although, only 853 individuals were connected to the call,
meaning the majority of the 3,418 signed up had outdated information. Lastly, Trustee Burke
expressed that the Village Staff and Officials will continue to work on the Emergency Plan.
B. 24331 N. Kelsey Road - Elaine Warren; Interested in Being Annexed into the Village.
The Village Administrator explained that Ms. Warren at 24331 N. Kelsey Road is located in
unincorporated Lake County and is looking to be annexed into Lake Barrington. The
reasoning for this was expressed to be due to Ms. Warren's request to subdivide her 3.5 acre
lot. Lake County denied this request, so she is turning to the Village of Lake Barrington. Ms.
Warren had been confirmed to be in attendance at the Board Meeting later that night to
address any questions from the Board. President Richardson made it clear that questions can
be asked as a courtesy, though this request must be made with the recommending body, the
Plan Commission Zoning Board of Appeals. If it is approved and recommended, it would
then be on the Agenda for Board approval.
C. Discussion on Natural Gas Generator for Village Hall.
President Richardson tabled this item.
D. Bench Memorial Program Discussion.
Page 2 of 4
Page 4 of 16
The Village Clerk explained that in May 2024 a resident inquired if the Village would allow
for a memorial bench on Freier Farm, the location of the family's residence years ago, in
honor of her late father. The Village Clerk explained the research and proposition to the
Board to implement a standardized program that other residents can also utilize. After
connecting with nearby communities, the Village of Lake Zurich was contacted for more
information on their memorial bench program. The Village of Lake Zurich highly
recommended the bench company Max-R. The Village Clerk made contact with Max-R who
offered their services for a bench and plaque for $1,209.00 and extended a 5% discount for
continuous ordering. Max-R will not install the benches, so Cuba Township agreed to install
the benches for $241.68 or offered to install the benches at no cost if the Village dedicates
one bench to Cuba Township Road District naming our work together through our IGA. The
Board did not make any decision, though they did express needing a cap number of benches
that will fit on Village property and to work on the insurance of the benches. The Village
Clerk agreed to continue to work on this project and address more information to the Board
in the future.
E. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the Village of Lake Barrington Village Code; Title
6, "Public Ways and Public Property": Section 6-3-11, "Owner to Maintain Parkways and
Ditch: Cutting of Weeds and Grasses in Adjacent Rights-of-Way", Title 7, "Building
Regulations": Section 7-3-8, "Property Maintenance Code Adopted"; and Title 11, "Trees
and Plants": Section 11-3A-1, "Weeds Declared a Nuisance; Height Restriction".
President Richardson, Village Administrator Peterson, and Village Attorney Bateman
discussed the reasoning for this ordinance amendment. The Village is looking to lower the
height requirement of grass and weeds in public property, public ROW and private property
to be no higher than six inches. President Richardson explained that the Village of Lake
Barrington's mission statement, "An Oasis of Gracious Countryside Living" relates to
resident upkeep of resident owned private property and public ROW.
F. Pepper Park Fest.
G. Consideration of an Ordinance Granting a Special Use Permit to Permit the Establishment,
Maintenance, and Operation of an Illuminated Digital Ground Sign with Changing or Moving
Display and Granting Variations from Title 8, "Zoning", for the Property at 28662 W. Northwest
Highway, Lake Barrington, IL.
H. Consideration of a Resolution Regarding Cash Bond Forfeitures.
I. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the Lake Barrington Village Code Section 2-3-2,
"Definitions", of Chapter 3, "Liquor Control and Tobacco Regulations", of Title 2, "Business
and License Regulations", Paragraph J, "Classification of Licenses", of Chapter 3, "Liquor
Control and Tobacco Regulations", of Title 2, "Business and License Regulations",
Paragraph X, "Alcoholic Liquor", of Section 6-1-2, "General Provisions", of Chapter 1, "Use
of Village Properties and Facilities", of Title 6, "Public Ways and Public Property".

PURPOSE OF FEDERAL INTEREST DETERMINATION
The purpose of a Federal Interest Determination (FID) is to answer
the following five questions:

2. Is there an applicable CAP authority that allows USACE participation in resolution
of the specific water resource problem?
3. Is the size and level of complexity of the water resource problem of a scale that it
can be successfully resolved within the limits of federal participation for the
applicable CAP authority?
4. Is there a viable local sponsor that has expressed the intent to partner with
USACE to complete a cost shared feasibility study?
5. Does the FID report provide the level of information necessary to define the
recommended scope and estimate the costs of completing feasibility study?
