Village of Lake Barrington swears in new trustee; appoints member to planning commission

Brenda Breiner was sworn in as a trustee of the Village of Lake Barrington at the board’s Aug. 5 meeting, and the board also administered an oath to a new planning commission/zoning board of appeals appointee. The swearing-in occurred during President Burke’s remarks early in the meeting, when the clerk administered the oath and Breiner took her seat on the dais. The board then recognized the new planning-commission appointee and asked that person to stand and be sworn. The president welcomed Breiner and thanked her for agreeing to serve. The board also welcomed the planning commission appointee and thanked that person’s family for their support. The president said the longtime planning commissioner Mark (last name not specified in the record) will be honored next month with a proclamation for 17 years of service. No formal vote on the trustee oath was recorded in the transcript; the oath was administered at the meeting and the appointee to the planning commission also took the oath on the record. Items related to these appointments were addressed during President Burke’s remarks early in the agenda and before business on ordinances. The meeting record shows the oaths and public welcome but does not record a separate adoption motion for the trustee appointment in the cited excerpt. The board did not schedule further action at the time; future agenda items could include committee assignments or related administrative steps.
