Streambank Restoration: Improving and Protecting
Our Natural Resources
The Village is proud of its commitment to protecting
and preserving our natural resources. Streamwood
takes its name from the large stands of trees
throughout the community and, of course, Poplar
Creek. The south branch of Poplar Creek runs from
Park and Woodland Heights Boulevards westward,
flowing into Poplar Creek in the Forest Preserve, and
then into the Fox River.
the Creek. Large sections of the Creek have steep
slopes and run along backyards, or are piped under
roads. In the 1980s, the Creek was seen as a potential amenity. Developers didn’t hide or bury the
Creek, but they preferred typical lawn or turf grasses,
as opposed to wetland plantings. Since the mid1990s, the Village has prohibited burying the Creek,
and required only wetland-style and native plantings.
The quality of the water in the Creek has been affected by development over the years. In the 19601970s, developers tended to ignore or simply bury
Early design decisions had a negative effect on the
water quality and wildlife habitat along the Creek.

Recent Board Actions
Village Board Refinances Bonds
The Village Board recently approved the refinancing of its outstanding bonds. These 15-year bonds
were originally issued in 2005 for construction of
the Police Department. Refinancing the bonds
allows the Village to take advantage of lower
interest rates, while adhering to the original payout schedule. The refinancing will save the Village
over $700,000.
Budget Award
The Village of Streamwood has, once again, been
awarded the Distinguished Budget Award by the
Illinois Government Finance Officers Association
(IGFOA). The award recognizes municipal budgets
that are of the highest quality, and reflect the best
management and ethical practices. Less than 5% of
Illinois municipalities receive this prestigious award.
This is the 23rd consecutive year that the Village has
been recognized for its outstanding efforts.
Intergovernmental Cooperation
The Villages of Streamwood and Bartlett have
entered into an agreement to improve detention
and water management opportunities.
Streamwood will de-annex a parcel of land it
owns, to allow Bartlett the opportunity to apply for
federal storm water management assistance. The
property is a detention facility, which both communities may use to alleviate flooding and improve
water quality.
Patients from the Streamwood area in
need of dialysis treatment now have
access to quality care close to home,
thanks to a new 13-station U.S. Renal Care

Message From The Village President
rather than more diverse animal populations. Geese droppings are a major stream
pollutant. Turf grasses also provide no
support to the streambank resulting in
deterioration of the water course, and
increased sedimentation. Over the years,
run-off from streets, sidewalks, and roofs
have added to increased sedimentation
and pollution in the Creek. As the water
travels downstream, these pollutants drain
into the Fox River polluting a major source
of drinking water in our region.

truly spectacular Saturday night fireworks!
In the fall of 2010, the Village completed a
streambank restoration project with funding
from the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (IEPA) aimed at resolving these concerns. A 2,036 foot stretch of the Creek was
improved by establishing a buffer of native
plants, which stabilizes the soil, filters runoff
and discourages geese.
One year after restoration efforts, native
grasses began to grow.
This buffer was accomplished in a number
of ways. Woody debris, excess sediment,
cans, bottles, and other garbage were
removed from the stream bottom. Nonnative grasses were then removed from the
shoreline. In areas where the bank design
was very steep, wire baskets filled with
large stones called gabions were installed to
prevent channel erosion. Unstable slopes

ed within a mesh erosion blanket, installed
to help the plants grow. Coir logs, which are biodegradable fibrous rolls made of coconut
husks, were used at the water’s edge of moderately sloped areas.
Native plant seed, native plugs, and other native vegetation were installed in and among
all of these bank stabilization areas. These plant materials increase long-term bank stabilization, act as a natural filtration system, create habitat diversity, and improve the overall
aesthetics of the site. Finally, split-rail fences were put up to delineate restoration areas.
The Village is delighted by the results. While it generally takes 3-5 years for native plants
to establish a healthy presence, Black-eyed Susan, coneflowers, asters, bluestems and bottlebrushes are already thriving along the banks. The coir logs are being absorbed into the
shoreline, helping to redefine the channel. Geese populations along the restoration area
have been reduced. More ducks, egrets and herons are populating the Creek. Estimates
show that roughly 600 pounds of sediment and pollutants per year are being eliminated
from the Creek as a result of
these improvements.

On behalf of the Streamwood Chamber of Commerce, Park District and Village,
we would like to express our sincere appreciation to our many sponsors, food
vendors, and expo vendors, as well as the hard work and effort of our numerous
volunteers and staff. Congratulations to the lucky winners of our raffle and contests, as well as to all the parade winners (see list of winners on page 5). We look
forward to working with each and every one of you again at next year’s event.
The Village Board and staff are busy working on our annual goals and objectives in order to guide us through the upcoming budgetary process. The
economy continues to place a strain on our resources, although some signs of
an improved economy are showing. The new Fresh Express plant has begun
construction, with hopes to be operational in the New Year. A new retail and
storage facility is under construction on Irving Park Road. The Village Board
also attended ribbon cuttings for two new medical health facilities, which
opened recently.
Rest assured we are doing all we can to keep costs down. We continue to
work smarter to maintain the services our residents deserve and expect. We
are committed to keeping Streamwood a great place to live, work and play.
As the Village Board begins its budget discussions, we encourage you to contact us with any concerns or suggestions you may have.
School is back in session. Please be especially careful driving in our school
zones. Be aware of the change in speed limits when children are present. Be
mindful of the state law prohibiting talking on cell phones within school
zones. The Police Department will be actively enforcing these new regulations to ensure that our streets, and our children, are safe.
Although summer is at its end, there are still many opportunities to enjoy the
weather and the great outdoors. Participate in the Worldwide Day of Play
event at Sunny Hill Park, explore the Community Health and Wellness Expo
at the Township, learn about fire safety at our Fire Open House, and take a
hayride at Pumpkinfest. We look forward to seeing you around town!
Sincerely,
Billie D. Roth, Village President

Go Green – Energy Saving Tips
With fall upon us, we know that winter isn’t far away. Now is the perfect time to get
your house ready for winter. The Village’s Natural Resource Conservancy
Commission offers these energy savings tips:
• Take advantage of natural heat by opening blinds or drapes on sun-exposed windows.
• Reverse the direction of your ceiling fans to push warmer air down.
• Close fireplace dampers when not in use.
• Plug leaks around windows and doors with caulking and weather-stripping.
• Make sure air ducts are insulated and sealed.
• Invest in a programmable thermostat to turn the heat down when you’re away.
• Replace leaky, single pane windows, doors and skylights.
A professional tune-up of your furnace is another way to help you save energy – and money!

Back to School for Streamwood Students and Teachers
A new school year brings a new contract for our excellent local teachers. This past summer,
the Elgin Teachers Association and the Board of Education of School District U-46 worked collaboratively to develop an agreement that best serves the 41,000 students of our district.
The new agreement, which runs through 2014, addresses a number of key components including:
•
•
•
•
Providing additional resources to support students in grades kindergarten through 2nd when class sizes exceed 32 students.
Implementing several key components of Senate Bill 7, a new state law that places the emphasis on teacher performance
rather than seniority when making decisions regarding a reduction in a district’s teaching force.
Establishing a Transformation Task Force to review and make recommendations regarding the design of the student day
to maximize learning, provide differentiated structures, and promote teacher collaboration.
Creating additional opportunities for teacher collaboration.
The new contract is an important component of Destination 2015. Destination 2015 is a plan for continuous improvements that focuses on closing the achievement gap, and aims to ensure that all students are college or career ready. View
Destination 2015, and the new teacher’s contract, on the District’s website at www.u-46.org.
