Lake Barrington trustees approve three‑year contract with Lake County Sheriff
Summary
The board adopted a resolution approving an intergovernmental agreement with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office for contract police services covering the village and neighboring jurisdictions; trustees praised the sheriff's resources and a three‑year partnership was confirmed.
The Lake Barrington Board of Trustees voted on Dec. 7 to adopt a resolution approving an intergovernmental agreement for contract police services among the village, adjacent villages and Lake County under the Lake County Sheriff.
President Burke introduced the resolution and praised the Sheriff's Department, saying the village does not have the same resources as the county and that the sheriff's office provides broader support. Trustees responded affirmatively to a motion to adopt what staff identified in the meeting as "resolution number 20 20 by the park‑r‑12" concerning the contract; multiple trustees answered "Yes" during the roll call and the resolution was adopted for a three‑year partnership.
President Burke said the arrangement means the village will partner with the sheriff for the next three years. "We are partnered with you for the next 3 years," he said, adding that the relationship has been "integral" to the community and that trustees appreciate the department's responsiveness.
The meeting record in the transcript lists affirmative voice responses to the motion but does not provide a detailed roll‑call tally by name. The board also offered public thanks to the sheriff and to department leadership during discussion.
Next steps: the intergovernmental agreement will guide police services for the village under the outlined three‑year term; the transcript did not include implementation details such as start date or fiscal terms.
