Antioch board approves SRO renewal, fingerprinting pact, amended budget and two personnel agreements
Summary
The Village of Antioch Board approved a renewal of the school resource officer agreement with Community High School District 117, an intergovernmental fingerprinting services agreement with District 34, an amended appropriation ordinance and two personnel resolutions; trustees also moved one IMRF line off the accounts payable list for later review.
The Village of Antioch Board on May 14 approved a package of ordinances and resolutions, including a renewal of the school resource officer agreement with Community High School District 117 and an intergovernmental agreement for fingerprinting services with Antioch Consolidated District 34.
At the start of regular business the board voted to approve accounts payable totaling $1,580,166.10 but amended the motion to hold one IMRF line (an invoice to IMRF for $96,196.30) for further explanation at the next meeting. Trustee Mason moved to remove the IMRF item from the current payment list; the board approved the accounts payable with that item held and agreed to discuss it at the May 28 meeting. Staff clarified the IMRF invoice is a pension invoice to IMRF and not a direct payment made to an individual.
On ordinance business the board considered and approved Ordinance 25‑5‑14, a renewal of the memorandum of understanding that continues the village’s school resource officer arrangement with Community High School District 117. The chief (staff) described the vote as a renewal of the current SRO agreement; the chief noted a budget figure in discussion of about $95,000 per year for the SRO arrangement. The board waived the second reading and approved the ordinance by roll call (six affirmative votes).
The board also approved Ordinance 25‑5‑15, an intergovernmental cooperative agreement with Antioch Consolidated School District 34 to provide fingerprinting services, again waiving the second reading and approving by roll call (6‑0).
Finance staff explained an amended annual appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2024 and ending April 30, 2025 (ordinance referenced in the meeting as 1 5‑5‑16). The amendment adjusts department spending authorities and legal spending limits to reflect unbudgeted items; staff said it restores correct legal authority for departmental expenditures. The board waived second reading and approved the amendment by roll call.
The board approved two personnel actions by resolution: Resolution 25‑38, authorizing an employment agreement for the chief of police, and Resolution 25‑39, approving an appointment agreement for the village administrator. Both resolutions passed by roll call with six affirmative votes.

What trustees asked for and next steps Trustees asked staff to provide documentation supporting the IMRF invoice and to return with details at the board’s next meeting so the held item can be addressed publicly. The board scheduled additional discussion of the held IMRF line at the next meeting (board references May 28 for follow up).
