Eleanor Sweet McDonnell 

I am very proud what the Board of Trustees and I have acheived in the 7 years that I have been in office as their Village of North Barrington President.  Here are some of my accomplishments since 2019...

First balanced budget for 4 years after 7 years of deficit spending.
First time in 61 years created a Capital Improvement Plan.
First time in 61 years, two culvert study done for the entire Village.
2019 created the first public bid process for the Village.
First time 61 years using a auditing firm that specializes in muncipal clients.
First time 61 years separation/segregation of financial duties.
Saving approxmately $237,000 in the next 3 years with a renegotiated Lake County Sheriff contract. This gives us a strong regional committment to public safety. 
12/18/2020  Personally secured a $2.5 Million DCEO Grant to solve the 20-year Route 59 flooding/safey issue. In summer 2026 construction will start with a 1Q 2027 completion date at the latest.
