Antioch trustees unanimously confirm Michael Peterson for multiple finance roles and approve contracts
Summary
The Village of Antioch board unanimously appointed Michael Peterson to several finance posts, adopted resolutions naming him the IMRF agent, approved bank-authority updates and a consulting contract with Comprehensive TTP LLC, and appointed Howard Hari as planning director before moving to executive session.
The Village of Antioch Board of Trustees voted unanimously to confirm Michael Peterson for multiple finance positions and approved a package of resolutions and contracts at a regular meeting.
Trustees confirmed Michael Peterson as finance director after staff said it had run several rounds of interviews to fill retirements occurring at year-end. The board also approved motions to appoint Peterson as village treasurer and as treasurer for the police pension fund; each measure passed on a unanimous roll call with four votes in favor.
The board adopted Resolution 24-13 appointing Michael Peterson as the village's authorized agent for the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF). During discussion, staff noted that the proposed contract would be on a consulting basis; when IMRF and benefits are excluded, the compensation would be roughly comparable to the current finance director's pay. Trustees asked staff to amend the contract's notice clause from 21 days to 30 days so both parties would have equal notice; staff also flagged that any IMRF liability should be identified by the consultant.
Trustees also approved corporate-authority resolutions for Heartland Bank and Trust and for State Bank Lakes (Resolutions 24-104 and 24-105), updating bank signatory or account authorizations. The board approved Resolution 24-16, a consulting agreement with Comprehensive TTP LLC for services to the village.
In a separate appointment, the trustees confirmed Howard Hari as director of planning, zoning and building; that motion also carried unanimously.
Before adjourning the public portion of the meeting, the board voted to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters, with no further action planned after the closed session.
The meeting record shows unanimous votes on the listed appointments and resolutions; specific roll-call listings of individual yes/no votes by name were not recorded in the transcript beyond repeated "yes" responses and the statement that four votes carried each motion.
