Lake Zurich board approves consent agenda including $1.79 million warrant register and adjourns to executive session
Summary
The Lake Zurich Village Board approved the consent agenda — which included a $1,789,390 semi-monthly warrant register and a reservation for the Polish Park playground pavilion — and voted to adjourn to an executive session to discuss personnel, real estate and probable litigation.
The Lake Zurich Village Board approved its consent agenda and then voted to adjourn to an executive session, the board said during a brief meeting.
The Village President opened the meeting and described a light agenda. Clerk Johnson read three consent items: approval of the April 20, 2026 minutes; approval of the semi-monthly warrant register dated April 29, 2026, totaling $1,789,390; and approval of a reservation request for the Polish Park playground pavilion. Trustee Riley moved to approve the consent agenda and Trustee Spacon seconded. Clerk Johnson called the roll; Trustees Baradwaj, Marks, Riley, Spacon and Chagru voted "aye" and the motion passed.
The consent vote clears routine administrative business, including the warrant register that covers payments and obligations the village lists on that register. The agenda materials list the warrant register totaling $1,789,390; the transcript did not specify which funds or projects those warrants cover.
During the president's report the board adopted proclamations recognizing Peace Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week and designating May 17–23 as National Public Works Week; the president said the full texts are posted on the village website. A board member also announced recent outreach at Polish Park and upcoming SWALCO composting events, and another trustee reminded drivers and parents to heed village rules for e-bikes and scooters.
Before adjourning, the Village President announced the board would move to executive session to address: review of executive session minutes (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(21)); personnel matters including appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1)); the purchase or lease of real property (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(5)); and probable or imminent litigation (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11)). "There will be no voting, action, or board business discussed after closed session," the president said. A motion to adjourn to executive session was moved and seconded, the clerk called the roll, and the board voted to adjourn; the meeting was closed and the next meeting was set for Monday, 05/18/2026.
No public comments were received during the meeting, and no staff reports were offered.
