Summary

The Village of Lake Barrington issued a proclamation honoring Mark Sesh for 18 years on the planning commission and zoning board, crediting him with contributions to open-space protections, the tree-preservation ordinance and local design standards.

President Bill Burke opened the Lake Barrington Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday by reading a proclamation honoring Mark Sesh for 18 years of service on the village’s planning commission and zoning board of appeals. The proclamation credited Sesh with championing open-space conservation, the village's tree preservation ordinance, commercial building and landscape design standards, and design work tied to a special-use permit for a planned speedway near U.S. Route 14 and Kelsey Road.

Clerk called the roll for adoption of the proclamation; Trustee Breiner indicated support during the roll call. During brief remarks, the president said Sesh identified the Speedway project as a career highlight and thanked him for “outstanding public service to the community.”

The board did not record a full roll-call vote in the public transcript beyond the stated affirmative response; the president said the proclamation would be adopted on the record. No dissent or amendment to the proclamation was recorded.

The board also recognized community volunteers in the audience and invited them to the podium following the proclamation; those recognitions were recorded separately by the clerk.
