Executive Summary: 
 

Many of Schaumburg’s priorities are heavily influenced by the outcome of county, state and federal legislation. Therefore, the village develops an annual Legislative Action Plan (LAP) to provide local officials and community stakeholders with the information they need to stay informed on the issues that matter the most to the village and its residents.  In addition to its local LAP, the village has long recognized the importance of advocating its priorities through legislative action and has relied on local legislators and pro-municipal coalitions, such as the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference (DMMC), the Illinois Municipal League (IML), the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC), and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (MMC) to advance their priorities and protect their interests.  The attached 2024 Legislative Action Plan focuses on the following priorities:

 

  1. Ensure Sustainable Municipal Budgets
  2. Protecting Local Control
  3. Reform Public Safety Pension System
 Recommended Action:
  The Village Manager recommends that the FLAGG Committee recommend to the Village Board the adoption of a legislative action program that addresses the priorities of the Village of Schaumburg during 2024.
