PUBLIC SAFETY - Trustee Harper/Trustee Carlson
I-20-063 Information Item – Recent Demonstrations
The horrific killing of George Floyd over the Memorial Day weekend sparked demonstrations across the country. People understandably upset by the callous disregard of life by those entrusted to protect it, took to the streets. Demonstrations were also held here in Streamwood. Working together – the Village, Park District and organizers – we kept our community and one another safe. Events on both Saturday and Sunday drew fairly large crowds. Sunday’s event ended with a march from Hoosier Grove Park, down Irving Park Road, to the Police Department and back. The enthusiasm and respect of the marchers was impressive. They chanted and encouraged support from passing motorists. But, at each intersection, as our officers held traffic at bay, demonstrators thanked officers for their help. When the event concluded, organizers came over to thank police and fire personnel for helping to keep everyone safe, and letting their voices be heard. It was an awesome show of community; and a testament to how we service our community with respect and compassion. All were able to peacefully assemble; and, we hope, know that their community was listening.
PUBLIC WORKS - Trustee Baumer/Trustee Schmidt
A-20-064 Ordinance–Approval of Disposal of Surplus Equipment
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE SALE BY PUBLIC AUCTION, PRIVATE SALE, OR TRANSFER OF SURPLUS PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE VILLAGE OF STREAMWOOD.” This Ordinance approves declaring various items surplus and authorizing the disposal of these items by private sale, auction, trade-in, donation, or to otherwise discard them at the least cost to the Village.
Trustee Baumer presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Village Manager Sharon Caddigan stated the staff routinely reviews the useful life of vehicles and equipment and recommends disposal of items no longer meeting the Village’s needs. This list has several vehicles and a number of computers that were recently replaced in the police vehicles.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT – Trustee Carlson/Trustee Harper
I-20-065 Information Item – Business Opportunities in Phase 3
The Restore Illinois Plan has allowed businesses to open after three months of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan provides for businesses to slowly recover, while still maintaining the goal of reducing the spread of this deadly virus. One aspect of the plan was the opportunity for local restaurants to offer outside dining under strict social distancing standards. Four of our community businesses have taken advantage of this option: The Chicago Loop, Egg Basket, Fiesta del Mar, and My Cocina. All of the businesses appreciated this opportunity to get back to seeing their customers. The outdoor dining seems to be a hit, and we have received no complaints from adjacent residents.
COMMUNITY AFFAIRS - Trustee Thon/Trustee Cecille
P-20-003 Proclamation – Park and Recreation Month
