2015 Water 2015 Village Budget Summary The Village of Streamwood recently adopted its 2015 Budget. It is a balanced budget that anticipates no new Rate Changes revenue or taxes, and sets aside over $8 million for capital improvements. This ensures our guarantee to provide exceptional services while preserving the long-term financial stability of the Village. The 2015 Budget totals $54,794,319. This marks an 11% increase over last year’s budget. A good portion of this increase in expenditures includes transfers from reserve accounts, and anticipated increases in sales taxes as a result of our improved economy. Improvements in our economy and confidence in our community is reflected by significant private sector investment in 2014, including:

• $2.7 million in shopping center renovation projects • Over $4 million in new tenant space and exterior façades at Westview Shopping Center • Nearly $1.25 million invested in new or revitalized tenant space at nine other retail businesses • $15.1 million in new commercial construction, including Elgin Toyota of Streamwood, Westbrook Senior Housing, and a new Auto Zone store.

The Village also saw increases in commercial and industrial occupancies, and new and expanded retail, commercial and industrial business, which has resulted in increased employment. In addition to these private sector investments, the Village invested over $3 million throughout the community in 2014 through infrastructure improvements including:

• Pavement and/or reconstruction of 6.5 miles of streets • Sewer and water improvements including painting the water tower at Streamwood High School Streamwood, like all communities receiving • Removal of approximately 1,000 trees impacted by the Emerald Ash Borer, and the replacement of over water from , will see a change in water 700 trees throughout the Village. rates for 2015.

As the water travels downstream, these pollutants drain into the Fox River, polluting a major source of drinking water in our region. Since the mid-1990s, the Village has prohibited burying the Creek, and required only wetland-style and native plantings.

In 2010, the Village completed a streambank restoration project with funding from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency aimed at resolving these concerns.
