I-20-001 Information Item – Phase 4 Update
Governor Pritzker announced that on June 26, the state has moved into Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois Plan. While this is an exciting step forward, the Plan still requires face coverings and social distancing to ensure we stay on the path toward Phase 5 - Recovery.
Under Phase 4, gatherings of 50 people or fewer are permitted. Locally, the Village started issuing garage sale and block party permits. The Police Department resumed enforcement of overnight parking on July 1; the Department will initially give warnings reminding residents of the regulations. The Finance Department will also resume regular water bill processing starting with the August billing. The Park District will be offering outdoor youth and recreational sports activities. School District U-46 is working on its reopening plan, as schools and child care programs will be allowed to open.
Indoor recreation, including bowling alleys, movie theaters, and other activities, are permitted with no more than 50 customers or 50% of facility capacity, whichever is less. These capacity limits are similar to banquet halls and other venues. Restaurant and bar calculations were different. Since businesses could serve more customers indoors versus outdoors, the Village initially did not extend the temporary outdoor service. Businesses and their customers expressed hesitation on going indoors, and requested some outdoor dining to return. The Village has permitted a limited amount of outdoor dining in conjunction with the indoor dining. We will continue to work with our business community and monitor this option on an ongoing basis.
Phase 4 is expected to be the longest Phase of the overall plan. Moving to Phase 5 is only possible with a vaccine to prevent the spread, a treatment option readily available, or no new cases over a sustained period. Remaining vigilant and using face coverings, social distancing and good preventative techniques will help us stay in Phase 4 and not fall back.

I-20-002 Information Item – Water Quality Report
Every year, the Village is required to report on the quality of our drinking water. We must report on our testing efforts and procedures. We have to report on any potential violations or possible problems with our water supply. This is intended to ensure that the public is properly informed of any potential issues. Our Annual Drinking Water Quality Report, which has the results of our efforts throughout 2019, is now available online at www.streamwood.org. We are pleased to report that our tap water met or exceeded all US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Illinois EPA drinking water health standards. We had no violations, and our system was found to follow all required procedures in protecting our residents’ health.
While the entire report is online, paper copies of the report are also available. We encourage residents to contact the Public Works Department if they would like a mailed copy of the report.

LEGISLATIVE – Trustee Cecille/Trustee Thon
I-20-003 Information Item – 2020 Census Update
The 2020 Census is underway. The 2020 Census determines congressional representation. It also determines how federal funding is spent and provides data that will impact our communities for the next decade. It is important to ensure that all of our residents are counted.
On April 1, every home received an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. There were three options for responding including online, by phone, or by mail. Our residents did a great job in responding to this initial outreach. Nearly 78% of our households responded, which is a better response rate than most of our neighbors. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, self- response has been extended into October.
The Census has also announced that they will begin door-to-door follow-up for households who have not responded. Census takers will begin in-person interviews starting in August. If you haven’t responded already, you can still make sure you are counted! For more information, visit www.census.gov.
