The Village of Streamwood recently adopted its2014 Budget. It is balanced between revenuesand expenditures. It anticipates no new rev-enue or taxes, yet sets aside nearly $8 millionfor capital improvements. This will ensure that allof our current programs and services are available toour residents and businesses. This honors our commitment toprovide exceptional services while preserving the long-termfinancial stability of the Village.

The Budget totals $49,282,645. While this marks a 10.6 percent increaseover last years budget, all of the increase in expenditures is being transferredfrom the Villages reserve account. Over the past few years, the Village has beenmindful of the slow economic recovery, and has held the line on expenses. Only purchases critical to ouroperations were approved.

As a result, we experienced revenues in excess of expenditures. These reserve funds can now be used toaugment programming in the upcoming year, allowing increases to our street improvement program, target-ed staffing, and new equipment purchases without an increase in our property taxes. In fact, the Villagesproperty tax levy decreased by 0.9%.

While the economy continues to show signs of improvement, the Village remains cautious as we enter 2014.Fixed costs, such as pension obligations, workers compensation, and liability insurance, continue to rise.Revenue from the state remains flat. The Village continues to monitor expenditures, scrutinizing every dollarspent. We examine all capital costs, seek opportunities for sharing resources, and encourage cross-trainingto keep our operations efficient, yet effective.

The Villages consistent cost containment efforts have generated healthy reserve levels in our General Fund.The General Fund accounts for all key day-to-day operating services including police, fire, public works, com-munity development, and general administration activities. The Village Board has decided to use some ofthese reserves to accomplish a number of its key goals for 2014: increasing road improvements, includingaddressing storm sewer management and the Emerald Ash Borer; targeting staff increases in public safety;improving technological resources to better serve our residents; and, reopening Fire Station #31 on ParkBoulevard.

Despite these capital expenses and increases in operating budgets, the Village will maintain a reserve bal-ance in excess of 30% of expenditures. This is above the Village Board policy of retaining at least 25% ofexpenditures. This will guarantee that as we enter 2014, our sound financial base will allow us to manageany economic uncertainties that may arise.

The Village is committed to providing quality, cost-effective municipal services. We will continue to providethe highest level of services to our residents and businesses, and make certain these services are provided inthe most efficient manner possible.

Scheduled Change in Water RatesStreamwood, like all communities receiving water from Chicago, has seen significant increases in rates since2012. On January 1, our scheduled water-sewer rate increases will again go into effect. Each 1,000 gallons ofwater will cost $10.66. The City of Chicago surcharge will also increase 43 per 1,000 gallons of water used.

Despite these increases, tap water is inexpensive when compared to bottled water. On average, a case of16.9 ounce bottled water costs $3.00. At that rate, youd spend nearly $950 for 1,000 gallons of water,versus the $10.66/1,000 gallons rate effective January 1.

A Better Way to Shovel?When clearing snowfrom your driveway,shovel and pile snowin the direction oftraffic. Try to leave aclear pocket on the

opposite side of your driveway, as shown. Bydoing so, snow that is plowed by our trucks can bedumped into the pocket, and less snow will get onyour driveway!

Help Rescue Emergency Response TimesResponse times are a critical factor to the success of any emergency incident. TheStreamwood Fire Department uses response time as one measure of its overall effective-ness. One critical component affecting response time is call handling and dispatch.Residents can help reduce response times, too.

When you call 911, a dispatcher requires three vital pieces of information: the problem;the address; and your phone number. This should take approximately 30 60 seconds. Many factors canincrease the time. Heres how you can help to keep response times low:

Be careful when calling from cell phones. Caller information is not automatically transmitted from a cellphone; voice quality may vary between cell carriers; and, poor cell reception can increase the time the dis-patcher needs to get information. Depending on your location and coverage, your call may be routed toone of several 911 centers. Be sure to state that you are located in Streamwood to ensure that the correct911 center receives your request.

Communicate clearly. Dispatchers are not interpreters. If language is an issue, the dispatcher will contactan interpreter, which can increase dispatch time up to three minutes. All residents are encouraged tolearn and be able to communicate basic information name, address, phone number and ambulance,fire, or police.

Ensure house numbers are visible. House numbers must be visible from the street or parking lot, night orday. Multi-family residences should have doorbells, and unit doors should be clearly identified.

Remain calm! Take a deep breath, then dial the phone. It will help you give better information to the dis-patchers, so they can quickly and efficiently send personnel to help.

Call the Fire Department at (630) 736-3650 and sign up for our File of Life program. This program keepspertinent medical information in a magnetic sleeve, posted within an available location at your home for use inan emergency. Rapid response times and available information will help us, help you in an emergency.

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: Can I use a credit card to pay my water bill?A. Of course! You can pay your water bill at Village Hall with cash, check or credit card. If youreplanning on using a credit card save yourself a trip and pay online or by phone. Simply go to theVillages website at www.streamwood.org and click on the E-pay logo to pay online.

GO GREEN Helping Our FeatheredFriendsThe NaturalR e s o u r c eConse r vancyC omm i s s i o n(NRCC) knowsthat a healthy environment includes a diversityof species. Cold winter months can be difficultfor some winter songbirds. Here are a few waysyou can help!

Feeding Winter BirdsInsects and berries can be hard to find in thesnow. Whats the best way to feed winter birds?

Good winter foods include black oil sunflowerseeds, suet, hulled peanuts, or seed mix.

Roosting boxes or birdhouses should be leftout during the winter to help provide shelter.

Flatten or shovel the snow beneath a birdfeed-er so ground feeders can eat fallen seeds.

Offer separate food for animals, such as squir-rels, so they dont raid your birdfeeder.

Carefully place birdfeeders out of the wind,but in the open to allow the birds to watch outfor danger.

Place a pan of water near the birdfeeder onwarmer days.

Keep the birdfeeder filled throughout the winter.

Do Not Feed Canadian GeeseOne winter bird that does not need your help is theCanadian goose. These large birds are very goodat foraging for grasses, seeds and natural foodsources. Provided food tends to be less nutritiousand creates dependency. Feeding these birds canactually lead to overcrowding and disease, waterand environmental pollution, and delayed migra-tion. If you want to help these majestic birds donot feed them!
