Barrington board reviews finances, approves bills; tax-levy resolution introduced for consideration
The Village of Barrington board reviewed year-to-date financials and approved payment of bills listed on the accounts-payable warrants after a motion by Trustee Van Rhyne.

Finance presenter (Speaker 9) told the board the village's net income for the fiscal year to date was $934,000 compared with $815,000 for the same period in FY'25, attributing much of the change to a new sales-tax law that has generated about $254,000 since Jan. 1; use-tax receipts were reported as down about $57,000. The presenter said general-fund actual revenue is about 59% of budget and expenses about 47% for the first five months and noted the infrastructure fund established May 1 currently shows net assets of $268,000.

Speaker 9 highlighted several invoices: a Reiki interior invoice for $17,720 and an IML risk-management payment for $18,892; a water/sewer fund check was referenced in the transcript but the cents portion was unclear in the recording and is not specified here. The board was asked to approve financial statements as of Sept. 30, 2025, and to pay bills totaling amounts read on the warrants ($178,352.18 and $126,291.11).

Trustee Van Rhyne moved to approve the financial statements and pay the warrants; the motion was seconded. The transcript records affirmative voice responses but does not record a roll-call tally.

On the tax-levy matter, Speaker 2 introduced a tax-levy resolution and asked for a motion to adopt 'resolution number 20' as read in the meeting; the transcript does not capture a motion or vote on that resolution in the provided segments. Separately, Speaker 8 announced eight volunteers for a communications plan committee (Casey, Matthias, Brian and others) and congratulatory remarks were offered for staff promotions.

Next steps: the motion to approve financials and pay bills was moved and seconded and appears to have been carried by voice; the tax-levy resolution was put forward for consideration but no motion or vote on it appears in the available transcript.
