Thank you for your interest in the Village of Schaumburg. Although<br />

Schaumburg is the largest center of economic development in the State<br />

of Illinois, outside the City of Chicago, we are still very much a community<br />

of neighbors and neighborhoods.<br />

Quality of life is important to us and we are constantly working to enhance<br />

it. Schaumburg boasts more than 80 miles of bike paths, the Schaumburg<br />

Prairie Center for the Arts with it’s 442-seat theater, gallery and outdoor<br />

stage and Spring Valley Nature Sanctuary. With excellent schools, a superb<br />

park district and superior village services, Schaumburg is a wonderful<br />

place to live, work and raise a family. And if you just want to visit, our hotels,<br />

restaurants and shops will make your stay comfortable.<br />

The Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center is as much a work of art as it is of<br />

architecture, with 474 brand new state-of-the-art guest rooms plus 26 suites. Wi-Fi is available<br />

throughout 48,000 square feet of meeting space and 100,000 square feet of column-free convention<br />

space. Enjoy the fine cuisine of Sam & Harry’s Steakhouse. Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and<br />

Convention Center has everything you need and nothing you would expect.<br />

Please take the time to browse through the community guide to learn about our village. We strive to<br />

provide residents, businesses and visitors with the information they need to live, work and play in the<br />

community. Our goal is to inform, communicate and provide services which enhance your experience<br />

living, working or playing in Schaumburg.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Village of Schaumburg<br />

villageofschaumburg<br />

The<br />

Village of Schaumburg was incorporated on March 7, 1956. On<br />

August 13, 1974, the village board adopted Ordinance #1095<br />

creating the Council-Manager form of government. The Village President<br />

serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the village, serving a four-year term.<br />

In addition, six trustees are elected to serve on the Village Board of Trustees.<br />

Each trustee serves a four-year term with one half of the village board<br />

elected every two years. The Village Board appoints a professional full-time<br />

Village Manager who serves as the Chief Administrative Officer. The Village<br />

Board also appoints the village’s corporate counsel. An elected Village Clerk<br />

serves as the keeper of records.<br />

The president and the trustees are the elected representatives of the village<br />

and are responsible for the formulation of village policies and passing<br />

legislation. The Village Board appoints a Village Manager who is responsible<br />

for enforcing the ordinances of the village and implementing the policies of<br />

the Village Board on a day-to-day basis, through the village’s operating<br />

departments.<br />

The Village Board holds regular public meetings twice a month to take<br />

formal action on issues under consideration. The Village Board also meets as<br />

a working committee of the whole once a month to deal with subjects in<br />

greater detail.<br />

The Village Board meets each month in smaller groups, as committees, with<br />

specific areas of responsibility. The six standing committees are Public<br />

Safety; Finance, Legal, Administration and General Government; Health and<br />

Human Services; Transportation; Engineering and Public Works; and Planning,<br />

Building and Development.<br />

Olympic Park recently completed the installation of<br />

six synthetic turf soccer fields. The turf is<br />

technologically advanced, polyethylene infill system<br />

designed for fields that will experience extremely<br />

materials to produce a surface that emulates the<br />

playing characteristics of a natural grass field in<br />

perfect condition. Now the centerpiece of Olympic<br />

Park, the fields total over 405,000 square feet. The<br />

improved fields complement other amenities,<br />

including four natural-grass soccer fields, five<br />

softball fields, a 14,000-square foot skate plaza, two<br />

basketball courts and 100 community garden plots.<br />
