At its July 11 meeting the Village Board approved two warrant runs totaling $306,323.77, appointed the village attorney, and approved several procurement and service resolutions — including a Park master plan, furnace/AC purchase, replacement phones and a fiber optic network — largely by unanimous votes (5–0, one absent).
The Village of South Barrington Board of Trustees unanimously approved routine financial items and a set of procurement and professional-service resolutions at its July 11 meeting.
Trustees approved Warrant Run #1 for $120,532.47 and Warrant Run #2 for $185,791.30 following motions by Trustee Joseph Abbate and seconds by Trustee Edgar Alvarado. Both roll-call votes were 5 Aye, 0 Nay, 1 Absent. The board also accepted the Statement of Revenues and Expenditures and the Detailed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024 by voice vote.
In separate roll-call votes (all recorded as 5 Aye, 0 Nay, 1 Absent where a roll call is noted), the board: appointed and approved a professional-services agreement for the village attorney; authorized purchase of a furnace and air conditioner for village facilities; authorized the purchase of StarChase practice rounds for the police department; approved a professional-services agreement with Upland Design to prepare a park master plan; accepted a proposal related to Lake Michigan water allocation (details not specified in the meeting record); and accepted proposals to replace phones and install a fiber optic network at Village Hall. Many of these items were moved by Trustee Abbate and seconded by Trustee Stagno or Trustee Alvarado.
The meeting packet included a BACOG director's report and Trustee Joseph Abbate highlighted an upcoming SWANCC recycling event for materials not accepted curbside. The meeting record shows the cultural organization Gita Utsav was recognized by proclamation after community members thanked the board for the acknowledgment.
Several referrals were sent to the Architectural Control Commission for site- and sign-related reviews in the Arboretum of South Barrington and elsewhere: an at‑grade spa at 38 West Penny; awnings and blade signs for Te Amo; modified exterior plans for The Greggory Hearth; temporary signage for Spirit Halloween; and signage for Dirty Dough Cookies. All referrals passed by unanimous voice vote.
Next steps: professional services agreements and procurement items will proceed through the departments identified in the motions; the Park Master Plan will be developed under contract with Upland Design; the record does not include implementation timelines or contract dollar amounts for most procurements. The board recessed into executive session at 8:19 p.m. and reconvened at 9:16 p.m., adjourning at 9:17 p.m.
