Individuals who wanted to address the Board via in-person or Zoom were asked to sign up today between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Individuals were asked to indicate if they wanted to address the Board of Education in–person or via Zoom. If more than 20 people completed the link to address the Board of Education, a random system was used to select and order 30 names. Since public comment is to be heard for a maximum of one hour, not all 30 people may have a chance to address the Board. A list of individuals who will address the Board, and the order of the individuals addressing the Board, was posted on the Zoom meeting screen at 7:15 p.m. Each person who addresses the Board will have a maximum of five minutes to speak. You will be told when you have one minute remaining, though you may not hear that if you are speaking via Zoom. Public comment will be heard for a maximum of one hour. I will call each person’s name when it is their time to address the Board. If you are in-person, please come to the podium and state your name for the record. Though not required, you may state if you are a resident of the District. If you are addressing the Board via Zoom, your microphone will be turned on after I call your name. Again, please state your name for the record and, if you wish, indicate if you are a resident of the District. When you are finished, your microphone will be turned off.

  • Final Report
    Final Report OVERVIEW Septemberfest 2015 Jungle Safari The 45th anniversary of Septemberfest was held over three hot and humid days on September 5-7. This year’s theme was “Jungle Safari” and once again, the Village of Schaumburg sponsored a safe and entertaining festival that generated large crowds. Septemberfest reported a deficit of $15,106.25; however, this year’s deficit is $4,816.43 less than last year’s shortage. The arts and crafts booth fees were down significantly, $10,245 less than 2014. It appears that many crafters are opting to sell their merchandise online as opposed to traveling and setting up booths at shows. The Taste and Not-for- Profit booth fees were down as well. Taste booth fees were down $925.00 as a result of five fewer restaurants participating, and four fewer not-for-profit organizations participated this year. However, the percentage of sales received from the restaurants increased 2% for a total of $977.26; sponsorship support was strong and increased by $8,650.50 this year; and police payroll was down $7,800.92 due to a reduction of hours, which helped offset the shortfalls in revenue and increases in expenses. Page 2 EXPENDITURES $389,670.64 Top 5 Expenditure Decreases 2014 vs. 2015 1. Police Payroll - $7,801 Scheduling was reevaluated and hours reduced. Additionally, payroll is an estimate since it is unknown which employees will elect to work the festival each year (higher paid vs. lower paid employees). 2. Water - $4,179 Due to the higher costs of the products and decrease of in-kind sponsorship, the committee did not secure a soft drink and water beverage provider th is year and allowed groups to bring their own products to sell at the fest.
