Summary
The Oct. 7 Lake Barrington board meeting included a consent agenda that listed a separation agreement with an employee, updates to local grocery tax ordinances and intergovernmental agreements with neighboring fire districts for fire prevention inspections; the board moved the items for approval as a block during the meeting's consent portion.
The Village of Lake Barrington Board of Trustees on Oct. 7 reviewed a consent agenda that included authorization for the village president to execute a separation agreement with an employee and several ordinance and intergovernmental items.
The administrator presented a recommended motion "to approve and authorize the village president to execute a separation agreement, waiver, and release between the village of Lake Barrington and Julia Powers dated 10/07/2025," and said the item had been discussed previously in the committee of the whole. The administrator identified this and other items as part of the consent agenda.
The consent items described in the meeting record included: a separation agreement with Julia Powers; an ordinance restating municipal grocery retailers occupation tax and municipal grocery service occupation tax (identified as ordinance number 2025-0-14 in the meeting materials); an update to the employee policy manual to reflect state and federal changes; and resolutions approving intergovernmental agreements between the village and the Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District and between the village and the Waucoma Fire Protection District (for fire prevention inspection services).
During the consent portion the chair asked for questions; none were raised. A motion to approve the block items was moved by Trustee Shallow and seconded by Trustee Perkins; the administrator then called the roll. The transcript shows Trustee Grader and Trustee Perkins recorded as voting "Yes" during that roll call. The meeting record as provided does not transcribe a complete roll-call result in the excerpt.
The items were presented to the board as previously discussed in committee; the administrator said staff had no additional details to add at the meeting. No additional debate over the separation agreement or the intergovernmental agreements is recorded in the transcript excerpt.
