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 />

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 />
high levels of use. The turf utilizes the finest infill<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 />
