“I mean, we had residents complaining, complaining, complaining about the noise. We also had 2 of our residents ended up in the hospital because of the noise. We have several — our residents are over 65 years old. The majority of them are 80 years old or plus,” Mikalewski said, and asked the board to “put it in a different parking lot so it's not next to the building where my residents live.”

The appeal came during the meeting’s public comment period and addressed a permit the board later placed on its consent agenda for village Fourth of July events on July 4, 2025. The agenda packet listed a “resolution authorizing the closing and use of portions of state and village rights of way and certain village property for fourth of July events to be held on 07/04/2025.” That item was approved as part of an omnibus consent vote.

President Karen Darch acknowledged the complaint and said the board would factor it into event planning. “Even though we are approving use of that property... we heard those comments and we'll take them under consideration and advisement in the layout of that property for the Lions Club event because we do understand the concern,” Darch said during the agenda reading.

The board did not rescind or amend the permit during the meeting. The approval on the consent agenda constituted formal authorization for the village to close and use the listed rights of way and property for the July 4 events; the transcript records no further directive or formal motion to relocate the entertainment that night. The manager’s request therefore remains a comment the board said it would consider in planning and layout rather than a binding change approved at the meeting.

The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for April 28, 2025.

Items A through O on the consent agenda included an appointment of Brandon Losee to the Environmental Advisory Committee (term through December 2027); a recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals regarding CBA 25‑01 for property at 600 to 660 South Northwest Highway; approvals for multiple events and use of village rights of way (including the Lions Club bridal tent fundraiser on 06/30/2025–07/08/2025 and Fourth of July events on 07/04/2025); an updated official 2025 zoning map; amendments to the village purchasing policy (June 2023 purchasing policy) as part of Title 1 administration; amendments to Title 3 business and license regulations; authorization to purchase two 2025 Ford F‑150 Police Interceptor vehicles from Curry Motors; and a contract award to Chicagoland Paving Contractors Inc. for asphalt removal and replacement at the Village Public Safety Building parking lots.

The consent agenda also included an ordinance authorizing the village’s acquisition of several downtown parcels and execution of related agreements: commonly known as 104 South Cook Street and 304 South Summit Street (permanent index numbers provided in the agenda). Trustees approved the package by roll call vote as an omnibus consent motion.

The board then approved the warrants list for April 14, 2025, in the amount of $2,518,902.47, representing expenditures and payroll for all funds.

Trustee Lowmeyer, speaking during comments around the table after votes, framed the parking‑lot purchase as a long‑term benefit: “It was an opportunity to acquire it, stop the lease payments, and basically retain and control that parking. So this is a benefit to the village long term that we have control and resolves many different issues.”

Most consent items received little or no discussion at the meeting; each was approved as part of the omnibus vote. The transcript records no separate roll calls or amendments for individual consent items at this meeting.

The board’s next regular meeting is April 28, 2025.

","At its April 14 meeting the Barrington Village Board approved an omnibus consent agenda of 15 items including an appointment to the Environmental Advisory Committee, event permits, street and parking contracts, and the village's planned purchase of downtown property. The board also approved the warrants list totaling $2,518,902.47.","actionData","errors"]
