By the summer of 1991, the Veterans Memorial
had begun to take shape.
The Village of Streamwood President and Board of Trustees, along with
the Veterans Commission, invites you to attend the 2016 Memorial Day
Weekend Observance at the Streamwood Veterans Memorial, located
next to Village Hall. The observance will begin on Saturday, May
28 with a POW/MIA Candlelight Vigil at 8:00 pm followed by the
Posting of the Vigil Guard marching past the monoliths
throughout the night beginning at 9:00 pm. The Vigil Guard will
be relieved on Sunday, May 29, at 11:00 am, to formally start
the Memorial Day Ceremony. Please join us in honoring all of
those who have served and died to defend our freedom.
2016 also commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the
Streamwood Veterans Memorial. Dedicated on May 26, 1991, the Memorial sits within a large five-pointed star
with a flagpole and a black granite monolith, representing each branch of service. Each monolith displays the
great seal of a branch of service on one side and, engraved on the other side, a saluting serviceman and picture
pertaining to this branch. Positioned in the center of the star is a larger flagpole, which flies the American flag.
There is a smaller star, just off the main star, with another flagpole, flying the POW/MIA flag. There is also a
black granite monolith engraved on one side with the POW/MIA symbol and on the other side a figure in a POW
Camp. The Memorial is flanked by a Historical Walk lined by black granite markers. The markers list every
armed conflict, recognized by Congress, beginning with the Revolutionary War. These Conflict Stones are
engraved with the name of each conflict, years of involvement, number of U.S. Military Personnel involved and
number of U.S. casualties.
In honor of the Memorial's 25th Anniversary, the Veterans Commission will unveil a memorial dedication of a
Battlefield Cross bronze statue, signifying honor and respect for a fallen soldier at the battle site.
Today, the Memorial stands as a proud symbol
honoring all those who have served or are serving
our country.

Recent Board Actions
Commission Reception
Volunteers of the Village of Streamwood are vital in assisting the Board to guide Streamwood's future.
Through their dedication and creativity, they help improve the quality of life for all residents. Volunteers are
an invaluable resource in the efficient operation of government. On Wednesday, March 23, over 65 volunteers from various Village Commissions gathered for a reception in honor of their service. The reception was
just a small way to recognize and thank each and every one of our volunteers for their dedication, assistance and commitment to the Village and the community we serve.

Life Saving Award Recognition
At the April 7 Village
Board meeting, Village of
Streamwood Firefighter/
Paramedic, Chris Tierney,
was presented with a
commendation for his
extraordinary action and
service. Traveling on I-90
while off-duty, Firefighter
Tierney witnessed an accident and stopping to
investigate, found that a limousine had struck
a barrier at high speed, flipped over and
caught fire. Realizing the severity of the accident, he solicited the help of nearby construction workers to help control the fire, and he
then proceeded to pull injured passengers
from the vehicle. Firefighter Tierney began
performing CPR on one of the passengers who
was not breathing, and continued to do so
until sufficient emergency responders arrived.
The Elgin Fire Department and Advocate
Sherman Hospital both sent letters commending Firefighter Tierney’s actions. His actions
exemplify the level of dedication our employees have in utilizing their expertise to help
others – regardless if they are on- or off-duty.

Please join us as we commemorate and salute the ultimate act of public service. On behalf
of the Village Board and Streamwood Veterans Commission, we invite you to honor those
who gave the greatest gift at our Memorial Day Observance on Sunday, May 29, at 11:00
am. This year also marks the 25th Anniversary of the unveiling of Streamwood’s Veterans
Memorial - a tribute in remembrance to those who have served within the five branches of
the military, and paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our country’s freedom.
On April 21, the Village Board honored Police Chief Jim
Gremo who retired after 29 years of dedicated service.
Chief Gremo started with the Village in 1987. He rose
through the ranks, being appointed Sergeant, Commander
and Deputy Chief before being appointed Chief in 2014.
The Board and staff wish him well in his future endeavors.
The retirement of Chief Jim Gremo resulted in a number of
recent promotions. The Village Board recently appointed
Deputy Chief Ed Valente to Police Chief, Police Commander
Daryl Syre to Deputy Chief, Sergeant Josh Norum to Police
Commander, and Detective Dana Gallagher to Sergeant. Congratulations!
This year’s Streamwood Manufacturing Career Exploration Program was another great
success! Thanks go out to all of the participating Streamwood High School students,
Principal Ariel Correa, Industrial Tech Teacher Matt Erbach, U-46 Career & Technical
Education Coordinator Kinasha Brown, all of the members of the Community Economic
and Development Commission, and last but certainly not least – all of the wonderful
businesses who have so graciously given up their time and talents for their commitment
to this exploration program. Thank you all once again!

Red Light Cameras
Keeping our community safe is the

cameras at our busiest intersections. Last month,
red light cameras were installed for the northbound

red light camera begins May 1. The camera is triggered by any vehicle entering the intersection after
the signal has turned red. Vehicles disobeying the
stop light are automatically photographed. A Village
Police Department supervisor views every picture to
ensure that the vehicle is actually in violation. We
encourage all drivers to respect the rules of the
road and keep everyone safe.

As summer approaches, the
Community Development Department
is urging homeowners to take the time
to check their outdoor structures for potential safety hazards. Wooden decks and other attached structures can be
at risk of collapsing if not properly constructed or maintained.
One of the most common safety hazards to look for – decks that
are attached to structures using nails instead of the recommended anchors or bolts. Nails are a poor method for attaching decks
because they work their way loose over time.
The Village of Streamwood adopts codes instituted by the
International Code Council, which is dedicated to building
safety and fire prevention. Building or repairing to code
requires a building permit and an inspection. If you believe
your deck is in need of repairs or replacement, the
Community Development Department has a list of registered
contractors that can inspect your deck and make the necessary repairs. If you have any questions, please contact the
Community Development Department at (630) 736-3843.
GO GREEN
Tree City USA
2016 marks 23 consecutive years that the Arbor
Day Foundation has recognized the Village of
Streamwood as a Tree City USA. The Village
has achieved this honor for its commitment to
effective urban forest management and by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree
board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an
annual community forestry budget of at least $2
per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and
proclamation.
Ash Tree Update
The Village estimates that there were approximately 4,100 ash trees on public property at the
beginning of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) invasion. Over the past five years, the Village has
removed over 3,700 ash trees and planted
almost 2,500 new trees of diverse species. Most
of the remaining trees will be removed in 2016.
If you received a new parkway tree, please consider following these steps for proper care:
• During the first year of planting, water the tree
every 7 to 10 days until winter
• Next summer, water the tree every 7 to 10
days only when it hasn’t been rainy
• Do not fertilize the tree during the first year
If you have any questions regarding trees,
including ash trees on your private property,
please call the Village’s Forestry Division at
(630) 736-3850.
FREE Rain Barrel Program
Since the Village instituted the free rain barrel program in the fall of 2015, 212 households have participated, ordering over 440 rain barrels. Help conserve water – collect rain water from your rooftop
by participating in the free MWRD Rain Barrel

throughout the night beginning at 9:00 pm. The Vigil Guard will
be relieved on Sunday, May 29, at 11:00 am, to formally start
the Memorial Day Ceremony. Please join us in honoring all of
those who have served and died to defend our freedom.
2016 also commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the
Streamwood Veterans Memorial. Dedicated on May 26, 1991, the Memorial sits within a large five-pointed star
with a flagpole and a black granite monolith, representing each branch of service. Each monolith displays the
great seal of a branch of service on one side and, engraved on the other side, a saluting serviceman and picture
pertaining to this branch. Positioned in the center of the star is a larger flagpole, which flies the American flag.
There is a smaller star, just off the main star, with another flagpole, flying the POW/MIA flag. There is also a
black granite monolith engraved on one side with the POW/MIA symbol and on the other side a figure in a POW
Camp. The Memorial is flanked by a Historical Walk lined by black granite markers. The markers list every
armed conflict, recognized by Congress, beginning with the Revolutionary War. These Conflict Stones are
engraved with the name of each conflict, years of involvement, number of U.S. Military Personnel involved and
number of U.S. casualties.
In honor of the Memorial's 25th Anniversary, the Veterans Commission will unveil a memorial dedication of a
Battlefield Cross bronze statue, signifying honor and respect for a fallen soldier at the battle site.
Today, the Memorial stands as a proud symbol
honoring all those who have served or are serving
our country.

Commission Reception
Volunteers of the Village of Streamwood are vital in assisting the Board to guide Streamwood's future.
Through their dedication and creativity, they help improve the quality of life for all residents. Volunteers are
an invaluable resource in the efficient operation of government. On Wednesday, March 23, over 65 volunteers from various Village Commissions gathered for a reception in honor of their service. The reception was
just a small way to recognize and thank each and every one of our volunteers for their dedication, assistance and commitment to the Village and the community we serve.

Life Saving Award Recognition
At the April 7 Village
Board meeting, Village of
Streamwood Firefighter/
Paramedic, Chris Tierney,
was presented with a
commendation for his
extraordinary action and
service. Traveling on I-90
while off-duty, Firefighter
Tierney witnessed an accident and stopping to
investigate, found that a limousine had struck
a barrier at high speed, flipped over and
caught fire. Realizing the severity of the accident, he solicited the help of nearby construction workers to help control the fire, and he
then proceeded to pull injured passengers
from the vehicle. Firefighter Tierney began
performing CPR on one of the passengers who
was not breathing, and continued to do so
until sufficient emergency responders arrived.
The Elgin Fire Department and Advocate
Sherman Hospital both sent letters commending Firefighter Tierney’s actions. His actions
exemplify the level of dedication our employees have in utilizing their expertise to help
others – regardless if they are on- or off-duty.

Message From The Village President
On March 23, we had the pleasure of recognizing over 65 public service volunteers at
our annual commission reception. These
volunteers share their time, talent and
knowledge in order to keep Streamwood a
great place to live, work and play. Special
thanks was given to those members who
achieved volunteer service milestones,
including: Leia Chapas, Lauren Kabrick,
Adelita Zeier, and Phil Candella, for 5 years
of service respectively; Bill Lunsford for 10
years; Dave Adamczyk for 20 years; and
Sandy Stewart and Kevin Soss, each with President Roth with community business mem25 years of volunteer service. Thank you ber Tom Meilinger, President of Rydin Decal
all for your dedication to our community! If you would like to volunteer your time to participate on a Village Commission, please contact my office, at (630) 736-3800, or visit our
website at www.streamwood.org.
Please join us as we commemorate and salute the ultimate act of public service. On behalf
of the Village Board and Streamwood Veterans Commission, we invite you to honor those
who gave the greatest gift at our Memorial Day Observance on Sunday, May 29, at 11:00
am. This year also marks the 25th Anniversary of the unveiling of Streamwood’s Veterans
Memorial - a tribute in remembrance to those who have served within the five branches of
the military, and paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our country’s freedom.
On April 21, the Village Board honored Police Chief Jim
Gremo who retired after 29 years of dedicated service.
Chief Gremo started with the Village in 1987. He rose
through the ranks, being appointed Sergeant, Commander
and Deputy Chief before being appointed Chief in 2014.
The Board and staff wish him well in his future endeavors.
The retirement of Chief Jim Gremo resulted in a number of
recent promotions. The Village Board recently appointed
Deputy Chief Ed Valente to Police Chief, Police Commander
Daryl Syre to Deputy Chief, Sergeant Josh Norum to Police
Commander, and Detective Dana Gallagher to Sergeant. Congratulations!
This year’s Streamwood Manufacturing Career Exploration Program was another great
success! Thanks go out to all of the participating Streamwood High School students,
Principal Ariel Correa, Industrial Tech Teacher Matt Erbach, U-46 Career & Technical
Education Coordinator Kinasha Brown, all of the members of the Community Economic
and Development Commission, and last but certainly not least – all of the wonderful
businesses who have so graciously given up their time and talents for their commitment
to this exploration program. Thank you all once again!

Red Light Cameras
Keeping our community safe is the
number one goal of the Village of
Streamwood. For that reason, we utilize red light
cameras at our busiest intersections. Last month,
red light cameras were installed for the northbound

59 and Irving Park Road. Full enforcement of the
red light camera begins May 1. The camera is triggered by any vehicle entering the intersection after
the signal has turned red. Vehicles disobeying the
stop light are automatically photographed. A Village
Police Department supervisor views every picture to
ensure that the vehicle is actually in violation. We
encourage all drivers to respect the rules of the
road and keep everyone safe.

As summer approaches, the
Community Development Department
is urging homeowners to take the time
to check their outdoor structures for potential safety hazards. Wooden decks and other attached structures can be
at risk of collapsing if not properly constructed or maintained.
One of the most common safety hazards to look for – decks that
are attached to structures using nails instead of the recommended anchors or bolts. Nails are a poor method for attaching decks
because they work their way loose over time.
The Village of Streamwood adopts codes instituted by the
International Code Council, which is dedicated to building
safety and fire prevention. Building or repairing to code
requires a building permit and an inspection. If you believe
your deck is in need of repairs or replacement, the
Community Development Department has a list of registered
contractors that can inspect your deck and make the necessary repairs. If you have any questions, please contact the
Community Development Department at (630) 736-3843.
GO GREEN
Tree City USA
2016 marks 23 consecutive years that the Arbor
Day Foundation has recognized the Village of
Streamwood as a Tree City USA. The Village
has achieved this honor for its commitment to
effective urban forest management and by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree
board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an
annual community forestry budget of at least $2
per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and
proclamation.
Ash Tree Update
The Village estimates that there were approximately 4,100 ash trees on public property at the
beginning of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) invasion. Over the past five years, the Village has
removed over 3,700 ash trees and planted
almost 2,500 new trees of diverse species. Most
of the remaining trees will be removed in 2016.
If you received a new parkway tree, please consider following these steps for proper care:
• During the first year of planting, water the tree
every 7 to 10 days until winter
• Next summer, water the tree every 7 to 10
days only when it hasn’t been rainy
• Do not fertilize the tree during the first year
If you have any questions regarding trees,
including ash trees on your private property,
please call the Village’s Forestry Division at
(630) 736-3850.
FREE Rain Barrel Program
Since the Village instituted the free rain barrel program in the fall of 2015, 212 households have participated, ordering over 440 rain barrels. Help conserve water – collect rain water from your rooftop
by participating in the free MWRD Rain Barrel
Program. Each Streamwood household can order up
