Mayor McLeod has attended almost every block party for the past four years. He wants to know your ideas and your thoughts.

 

   Bill McLeod, 58, was elected to the office of Mayor in April 2001, having served as Acting Mayor following the passing of the previous mayor in September 2000. He was then re-elected in 2005.

Mayor McLeod served as a Village Trustee for more than 20 years - many
as Deputy Mayor. His interest in government and politics began as a boy in Chicago, and that interest has never wavered.

Since his election, Mayor McLeod has successfully negotiated a boundary agreement with the Village of South Barrington - ending 40 years of acrimony. Mayor McLeod is a driving force behind the creation of the STAR LINE, a suburb-to-suburb commuter rail line, serving as Chair of the STAR LINE Steering Committee. Electrical service interruptions have been addressed, and the Village continues to work with ComEd to find and correct the problems resulting from an aging infrastructure.

Mayor McLeod has a goal of seeking every opportunity to listen to the concerns of the citizens and business owners in the Village. He and his wife attend almost every Village block party during the summer to thank the organizers and to give residents the opportunity to ask questions and give comments in a relaxed atmosphere. His home phone is 847.991.5811, and he encourages anyone with a concern or comment to feel comfortable phoning him there.

Mr. McLeod successfully advocated the creation of an Economic
Development Committee, and served as Chair of the Referendum Committees
that brought E-911 service, Non-partisan elections, and the
Village Manager System of government to Hoffman Estates. He was instrumental in the creation of the Hoffman Estates Historical Museum and serves on that committee.
